"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

We filmed this for a promo for Lory's Place in St. Joseph. They are a great organization and I know they help a lot of kids locally for grief counseling. It is nice to know we have a service like this available to us here in the Twin Cities.

Mr. Coloma 2009 Overview

Each pageant has a theme which dictates the music used in the show. We then incorporate these songs into our videos. We edited this song for the show and it was faded out after the ladies were finished with their presentation.

This is the Mr Coloma Pageant so we used the entire song edit and mixed in a lot of footage of the guys and gals behind the scenes rehearsal along with the live event. Not necessarily in the same order as it happened that night.

This song called out for fast moving action, just like Elvis, so I hope you enjoy it. For those of us who remember the Ed Sullivan Show we will only show this video from the waist up.

It's a lot of work but we always have a blast and these fine contestants will have an action packed DVD of that fun filled night.

30 Years!

Well, today is my 30th wedding anniversary! Wow! I can't believe it. Where has the time gone? It seems just like yesterday that we said our own "I Do's." We went to high school together and he was one of those "popular guys," who was in all the talent shows, marching band, school plays and he played in a rock n' roll band. Oh Yeah! Some of you older ones might remember Atlantic City Steel Pier. He was the cutest lead singer ever. I remember what a good band they were, I can still hear the music they play at the "Back Alley," which is now "Pebblewood." "Stairway To Heaven and Maybe I'm Amazed," was my favorites. And I am still amazed, how much fun we have and how much I still love him. I love his sense of humor, his bad jokes, even though I roll my eyes sometimes. Yes, I would marry you again! Thank you for our 3 handsome sons (they take after you, you know, including the bad jokes). I love you always.....

Your Wife,

Kim

P.S. The only thing I would do different, is having a really cool wedding video filmed. What I wouldn't give to see just a glimpse of my wedding day now on video.
