Miss Bridgman 2013

Some behind the scene moments captured, lots of pretty girls and of course gowns and crowns featured in this overview.  All the contestants did a marvelous job as well as all the people involved with putting this pageant together.  It is always such a pleasure for Dale and I to work with the Miss Bridgman Scholarship Pageant.  All music licensed through Song Freedom.

Doug+Jennifer

As you watch through this overview notice the amazing amount of detail. There is so much work involved in making a wedding day breathtaking, beautiful and memorable. Doug and Jennifer's wedding met that goal and exceeded it. Everything was perfect. The food, the hall, the music and the wonderful people involved. 
Their ceremony was filmed at St. Johns Cathedral in Benton Harbor, MI. and the reception was held at Shadowland Ballroom in St. Joseph, MI.  Just two of the many great locations here in Southwestern Michigan for destination weddings. 
Kim and I here at All Star Productions were honored as always to be invited to capture this most important day for Doug, Jennifer and their families.

Jessica and Bryan had several different types of weather patterns visit them on their wedding day. From a hot humid summer day to a stormy evening rain complete with hail and tornado warnings which forced everyone to take cover inside the beautiful Whitcomb Hotel. It didn't seem to bother anyone, though. Everyone just continued to laugh, talk and spent time a little closer together.

I love the fact that Jessica and Bryan share a love for a great game of hockey... but more importantly they share a love for each other that truly radiates from within their hearts. Congratulations, Jessica and Bryan! I hope you both have many wonderful, happy years together! Thank you for allowing us to share in your day!

Heather+John

Shot on the beach at Jean Klock Park in Benton Harbor, MI. It was a Beautiful Windy Day....can you tell? ;-) We got a ton of wonderful slow mo shots of Heather's Dress floating in the breeze. It was breathtaking.
Great music, great food and a great location. Reception was held at The Veranda @ Whitcomb in St. Joseph, Michigan.

Heather, John and all who were involved were wonderful to be with and we had such an amazing time getting to know them through out the day. As always the wedding day is a whirlwind so we at All Star Productions are happy to capture all of the fun events of the day and document them for viewing.

Todd+Emily

A beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony with emotional vows and their wedding rings blessed with water from Lake Michigan.  An upbeat reception entrance followed by a cake ceremony that was executed with a Samuri Sword to the tune of Kung Fu Fighting.  The Backstreet boys showed up to sing 'I Want it That Way'  with our bride at center stage.  The entire Bridal Party made this night a party and we all had an amazing time.  Todd and Emily's family and friends made their wedding reception a memorable occasion and we were honored to be a part of it.

Wil+Heather

Heather custom designed her own wedding dress featuring vintage lace from her mother's wedding dress and a cameo brooch from her great grandmother.  The cameo brooch was also worn by Heather's mom on her wedding day.   Wil's father stood beside his son and served as his best man.  So many charming, meaningful things that complimented Heather and Wil's beautiful vintage wedding overlooking Lake Michigan.  Congratulations, Wil and Heather!  I hope you have many wonderful years of love and happiness.

You can just tell how much Joe and Abby love each other. So many personal touches to their wedding and reception. Since Abby's best friend was her brother, Michael...she decided that he was the perfect choice for her "Man of Honor. How cool is that!
