A little update on KissWeddingBooks leather cover colors. Visit their KISS BOOKS page to get a closer look at the available colors. NOTE: I forgot to mention the new Virgin White leather covers are now available. And to RSVP to my Photographer GetToGether (GTG), visit my group e-vite on Facebook! I show 40 attendees in Facebook already so it’s going to be big!

Now watch the video, don’t mind the quality, I did this real quick!
I apologize for the email & iPhone text alerts in the background, lol.

Get to know her better by visiting her blog where she shares some great tips and ideas on planning your wedding. And when you’re ready to gain peace of mind for your big day, hire Laura to ensure everything goes the way you imagined it would.

Earlier this week we met for lunch at Whole Foods at the East Market in Fair Lakes where I proceeded to douse her with my surprisingly carbonated raw energy grape drink! I had no idea it was carbonated and it just exploded, would’ve made a great video. Actually, the table got the worst of it. No wedding planners or photographers were injured in that stunt. I cleaned up the mess right away. Now watch her sweet blog post showing her FIRST ever video blog, inspired by yours truly, lol =)

Thanks Laura! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

If you haven’t checked out WeTV’s Platinum Weddings, you’re missing out on some over-the-top and extravagant productions! And I say productions because they really are major productions! The coordinators, lighting specialists, table top specialists, florists, etc. that help bring it all together really create some impressive displays that hundreds of thousands of dollars can buy! The budgets are averaging $500,000! Sometimes into the millions. Check out a sneak peek from the show!

I recently met up with Jackie Achekian, owner of Eleganza Intima, a wedding planning company for the couture couple!

After lunch in Old Town Alexandria, we had some time for a few fun head shots. At first I was going to have her take her sunglasses off, but she indicated that they’re her trademark accessory.

She’s so fun to be with… and so Hollywood
