engagements 
“So, Mike, how did you know you were ready to marry this girl?” I asked with a soft smile looking up at his tall, six-foot-something frame.
He looked down at me with the biggest grin as a chuckle escaped his mouth. With a sure nod of his head and a shrug of his shoulders, he said, “Oh, you know, one day you just wake up and you realize you can’t let something so good get away.”
Because sometimes it’s just that easy.
Ashton and Mike, I can’t wait to get to know you better. You’re the perfect blend of sweetness and confidence. I know that sounds like a strange blend, but I think it’s good. Thank you for a fun day! I can’t think of a better way to spend my Halloween. :-)
With joy,
René

Remember my sweet brother and his wife Alyssa who Jesie photographed in June? If not, definitely check out their wedding (and Jes’s work here). Well, their wedding video is finally here! Adam Grumbo, the same mad visionary and talent who did my promo video, shot Alyssa and Kev’s wedding. AUH-Mazing! He’s a genius behind the camera – I definitely recommend him. You can find out more information on Adam Grumbo Wedding Films here.
Now this is just a teaser, actually. The full-length 20 minute video isn’t quite ready yet, but when it is, you’ll be the first to know. ;-)
This is excellent. I can’t wait to see the entire video. A wonderful way to live the day over and over again. So happy and proud of my son and wonderful new daughter-in-law. So glad my Rene’ had Adam do this for them. She’s the best. Something they will treasure forever. Love you all, Mom
Oh my goodness, this is AMAZING!!! What an amazing gift to have after their wedding day. I totally wish I would have known about this videographer and I would have totally done the same thing. AMAZING. Wow, what excitement about their wedding this shows!
I have watched this video over and over again and again! And…the more I watch the video, the more I cry. So beautiful! Adam’s work is absolutely amazing! I am so looking forward to seeing the video in its entirety. Thanks for the seek peek Rene.
BAWLING My eyes out! <3
I love his work.
Oh, I love this so, so much. Thanks for sharing Rene:).

Good afternoon! We pick up with part II of Elise and Jon’s wedding, but before we do, I want to give a special shout out to Danielle Odil of Something Classic Events. Danielle coordinated Jon and Elise’s wedding from top to bottom and, as always, did a fabulous job putting everything together and keeping us on track. Thank YOU Danielle!
If you’ve ever been in for a consultation, Danielle’s card is in that spiffy little orange pouch that we give you. :-)

Good morning! Happy Tuesday everyone. :-) I’m back from San Diego and D.C. and trying to get my life put back together after three weeks on the road. In the meantime, I wanted to share with you our last wedding of the year (unless something short notice comes up!) of Elise and Jon. There is so much eye candy in this wedding it’s hard to handle! You remember their engagement pictures on the sailboats, right? Yeah, it’s that kind of eye candy.
Enjoy!
With love,
René
