Reception at the Heritage Center in St. Joseph, MI. Jessica Pennington from Stella Event Design was the event planner for this wedding and what an event it was. Ben and Dan of Ben Pancoast Photography were there capturing all of those beautiful moments on film. The Matt Reed Band provided excellent entertainment throughout the night. (good job, guys and gal) Cudos to the Heritage Staff, they did an amazing job. Congratulations to Ken and Katy. Two wonderful families joined forces that day. Kim and I had the privilege of being the videographers at this reception to catch all the romantic and fun stuff. Here it is...
Bill and JoAnna's birthday bash out at Lake Michigan. What a crowd. They were roasted and toasted by friends and family alike, all with the love and admiration that comes from lifelong relationships which are built to last forever. Great job everyone. It was a night to cherish and remember. Happy Birthday Bill and JoAnna
I needed two songs for this one. So much happening throughout the day. Whew!! (that's for the performers, the parents and the staff at Vi Shafer) But it's a good 'whew' Look at all of the exciting things going on both behind the scenes and onstage. Everything was done just right. Lot's of fun as always. Thank you Deanna....
There is nothing like an outdoor, beachside wedding. As I began filming in the morning at the beauty salon it started raining. Gretchen just continued on getting ready and was really enjoying her wedding day. It rained off and on all day. Gretchen smiled and ignored the rain. When she arrived at her wedding, the rain stopped and the sun broke through the clouds! There was an awwwww, that broke out too among the guests! Everyone was very grateful to God that the rains had finally stopped and Gretchen and Cory had a beautiful dry beachside wedding. Well it was almost dry, except for the tears that flowed....
Wow, another action packed Miss Blossomtime Pageant. It's amazing how much time, talent and effort goes into a pageant like this. Everyone involved gives 100 percent and it shows. For the pageant office it's a year round, non-stop developmental creative process. The contestants and behind the scenes people hit the ground running as well. Congratulations to everyone involved. You make it all work. Thanks again for inviting us to come along.
Dale and I have always loved music and video. Both of us grow up in Southwestern Michigan, but decided to move to Florida years ago. We worked hard, had our own furniture repair business, raised a family and quietly did the music and videography on the side. We decided about 5 years ago to pursue our dreams, to make a living doing what we love to do and somehow combine our passion for music and video. So we sold everything in Florida, moved back home to Michigan and started All Star Productions.
