YOU CRUSHED MY COOKIES!

Hey Guys,
Well Lyn & I just got back from Jersey City, New Jersey shooting a beautiful Indian wedding.
What an insane trip! We where so warn out on the way because our flight and everybody in the airport was canceled. We where so worried that we would not get there in time for the wedding. So this is how it all began, Lyn arrived at the studio at 3 in the morning then we drove out to Jackson, Mississippi and flew out at 6. When we get into the Memphis airport at 7:40. So we are sitting there in the next gate and they say this flight has been canceled and we where like OH BOY. 

So we call the rebooking agent and they say "we can get you out by 6:30 tomorrow morning and I was like HECK NO LOL!  The only thing they could do was get us out of the airport by 6:30 in the evening the same day which by that time we where like ok that will work because we HAVE to be there by tomorrow to shoot the wedding which started at 10:00. So we wait for 10 hours on layover finally board and everything goes fine HEHE but its not over LOL they lost Lyn "my assistants luggage.

So my friend Darrell runs to the other airport "Newark" where we originally where to fly into but they had to route us to Lagaurdia in New York. So we finally get everything together and by that time its 10:30 at night lol. The night was not over lol we did not get into our hotel till 2:30 because of some rental car issues. LOL,so that was our insane first day which lasted 23 HOURS LOL!

 So we woke up and shot one of the coolest Indian weddings.It was on a HUGE dock right on the Hudson River at the Hyatt. So the scene was beautiful. Our bride, Jasmine & our groom Apu where so cool and full of life. They had the most interesting clothing full of color! So the whole day went great and was an amazing wedding. So your probably wondering WHY the heck is the title of the post " YOU CRUSHED MY COOKIES, " well it all has to do with on the way home.   We flew into Detroit and as we where getting our bags out a man cussed at me and held a bag up and said," YOU CRUSHED MY COOKIES." I looked at him and just had no idea what to say I mean your going to cuss at me since you being a nut case stuck a plastic bag full of cookies up in the overhead baggage area. I could not say anything I was about to die laughing lol.  Anyways, Lyn said "Sorry we crushed your cookies," so for the remainder of the trip Lyn and I laughed the WHOLE TRIP about what we could have said. And just the simple thing of the guy saying," You crushed my cookies" was SO FUNNY! You guys know that flying can be insane sometimes and you have to learn to make the best out of a trip and just laugh and think about how easy you have it compared to other people that have so MANY other problems in life. Also learn to be nice to the airport people they are not the ones causing the issues its the flight company itself. All of our issues that day were because of the computer crash in Atlanta that just about caused riots in the airports all over the US for 2 days. So just remember to make the most of bad situations and learn to laugh at some of the CRAZIE things people say to you like, " YOU CRUSHED MY COOKIES."

WEDDING TRAILER

Hey Guys,
About two weeks ago, Lyn and I headed out to do a wedding on a rainy Saturday morning. We were really nervous about the weather because the wedding was outside of the bride Lindsey's house. Regardless, Lyn and I drove up and the setting was so beautiful with the dark clouds and the feel of a country-style wedding. We started filming as Lindsey got ready, and later we were able to capture some great shots of her running through the cool field and viewing the beautiful landscape. As the time for the ceremony approached and for everything to begin, it was still rainy and dark-looking. Of course, though, we proceeded as normal despite the threat of rain. As soon as the couple said their vows, the sky opened up and the sun broke through over the hill--it was a m a z i n g and the timing was perfect. It was as if the heavens opened up the moment they made their vows between each other.

After the ceremony, we headed to the back of the house to film the reception, which was really nice. Tents dotted the landscape. They had really GOOD looking cakes and a variety of desserts. They even had some that they mixed up on top of a fire with ice cream, cake, etc.--I never can remember what that is called! lol. Lyn and I both had a great time filming the day. Lindsey & Lee were great to work with along with their really nice photographer, Mary Dawson, from www.mdawsonphoto.com.

Outside weddings are always so beautiful because of the amazing colors we are able to capture during the day and the way the light causes shadows in different times of the day. I am a big fan of natural lighting--I find it so romantic and very pleasing to the eyes. Anyways, I hope you guys like the trailer for their wedding. I really went with a vintagy, dark feel to it which I believe complimented the weather that day!

Video Alert...

Hey Guys,
Our video clips will be down till tommrow sometime on the blog.
All of our videos on our site will work fine. But the blog videos will be out!
Sorry!
