The Joy of Networking

Like most people in the wedding industry, the thought of networking lists between a trip to the DMV and having a prostate exam. It is one of those necessary evils we must do to keep working. It makes me feel like the wall flower at the school dance. Yes, you know the one, the girl in the potato sack dress that could be pretty if she did something with her hair and had some confidence. Well anyway, I am here to announce I have found the secret formula. Write this down! One 5 Hour energy drink, One Captain and Coke and 4 hours of sleep that night = Networking Magic. I believe this to be so until I get those Facebook updates asking what the hell happened to Sky. Any hooh, I actually had a good time at this gig. Saw my usual mix of Wedding Friends and Evil Doers. Met some cool new contacts. That's it. I'm out.

Kelsey & Chas' Wedding

Party! Party! Party! And it was one hell of a party. Kelsey and Chas' Wedding was a great event. The weather was perfect outside of Rollins Chapel in Winter Park. I captured some beautiful exterior shots of this beautiful old chapel. The ceremony went off with out a hitch and my hidden camera got a great angle of the whole ceremony. I had the chance to work with two local legends, Susie Weiss with Wonderful Weddings and J.R. with Sterling Photography. Susie had the evening running perfect and she took care of everything I needed. I love working with great coordinators, life is so much better with them. J.R. is always a pleasure to work with, he has a great energy to vibe off of and an incredible eye for great shots. The reception took place at the Country Club of Orlando. A classic location that adds a nice level of sophistication, plus they take good care of the vendors. This makes me extremely happy to work there. The reception was one great party. The toasts where short and funny and the crowd was eager to have fun. The music was provided by Wings of Sound. Wing's always puts on a great show, I have never filmed a bad reception with them. I ran into some old clients, Mahmood and Gerylin. Thank you for sending Kelsey and Chas my way and it was great to see you both again. If you want a great work out in a upscale, hip gym check out Mahmood's new place, Bodies by Mahmood on the Corner of Orange and Marks. And if you are in need of a great stylist, check out Gerilyn's shop Caprici Ricci Salon in Winter Park. Gerilyn styled all the Bridal parties hair. This should make a great video. Check out the footage.
