"Curtain Call"

What a fun day I had working with my son Jordan, (he helped me film the photo shoot) Wedding Planner Jessica from Stella Event Design, Photographers: Ben from Ben Pancoast Photography, (these are his photos below) Leda from LVL Photography and Justin from JL Photography, and of course Jordan and I, the videographers. Erica Henninger from Salon 1341 in Stevensville did Lisa's hair and David from Veranda at the Whitcomb provided us with a lovely room to use for home base.

Leda had a great idea to give our local brides an opportunity to put on their wedding dress one more time to get some seriously, really cool pictures out and about in the St. Joseph and Benton Harbor area. I had a blast! What a privilege and opportunity I had to work with such a fun bunch of talented people.

Dale and I had just filmed Dan & Lisa's Wedding the week before, so they were fresh off the wedding whirlwind. They are both such fun people and so photogenic, don't cha think? What good sports they were about having 8 cameras in their faces, flashes go off, traipsing to numerous locations and still smiling! They were probably thinking to themselves what the heck are these people doing to us?

But take a look at the photos (the video of all the fun, will be up shortly) and I am sure they would do it again, in an instant! If you think this is something you might like to participate in you can contact Jessica at Stella Event Design and she will let you know when the next "Curtain Call" is going to be held. Wouldn't you like to put your wedding dress on just one more time?

Cool place in downtown Benton Harbor, complete with 2 green doors and an old shovel we found for props.

I think this is the old, abandoned House of David Fruit Market in Benton Harbor. How appropriate, we are were all a little fruity that day.


Of course, we had to go to our beautiful Lake Michigan!



Our Beautiful Bride, Lisa


The Happy Couple! Dan & Lisa


One Last Time
