January 26, 2009Happy Holidays Everyone!
December 25, 2008Engagement Photography Session
November 3, 2008Recently we spent a great afternoon with a fun couple, Erin and Adam shooting their engagement photos. Below are a few of my favorite photographs from our time with them.
Holiday Open House at Girly Girl Gifts
November 2, 2008My friend Cynthia Basker, the best wedding coordinator in Michiana, is having her annual holiday open house at Girly Girl Gifts this coming Friday and Saturday.
A New Photo Gallery
September 1, 2008Finally got around to editing together a new photo gallery. I’m stuck on Michael Buble music though. Need to change that. 
Allure Films & Photographics and Bridal Shows
August 27, 2008I’m happy to announce that Allure Films and Allure Photographics will be in attendance at the upcoming Michiana’s Premier Wedding Expo and the 24th Annual Bridal Spectacular. I’m looking forward to the new Wedding Expo, it’s being held at one of my favorite reception halls in the Hilton Garden Inn. And I hear that Cynthia Basker or Celebrated Events and Michael Angelos have teamed up to decorate the fashion runway, which should mean it’s going to be off the hook and look like nothing we’ve seen in this market before.
None of this is to say that you should wait to hire your photography and cinematography services till the bridal show. 2009 is booking up fast, I had recently 6 brides inquiring about July 11th which is now booked up. Six brides calling for the same date over two days is unusual but happens. So if you are interested in our services for 2009 don’t wait to see us at the bridal shows, we might just be booked for your date if you wait that long!

I've Been Published Again!
June 30, 2008If you are a bride or groom this won’t have much impact for you, but it never ceases to be exciting for me when a magazine publishes anything that I write! So to toot my own horn, WEVA (Wedding & Event Videographers Association International) published my review of SpeedEDIT.

Photoshop Mistakes
June 24, 2008I found this great website that details Photoshop mistakes with a wicked sense of humor. It is a laugh riot. Below is one of my favorite images. Evidently Thing from the Adams Family is loose in Great Briton.

Wedding Demo
May 12, 2008Here is our new wedding film demo. When I got done with this I realized it has been 10 years since I actually created one of these. For years I’ve preferred using actual finished product as our demo reels. But then one day I was suffering a creative block while editing and to work through it I started throwing clips on the timeline just for fun. Half a day later I had this:
I think it’s a lot of fun. It is made up of a lot of my favorite scenes from the last several years. Digging some of them up was a real trip down memory lane.
The music used in this video is:
Sewn by The Feeling
