GRAND OPENING - StudioWed

DateMarch 10, 2010

Last week my husband and I had a date night and attended the StudioWed Grand Opening party.  It was a fun gathering of all the StudioWed vendors as well as local brides and other Nashville wedding industry vendors.  The place was packed!

This photo was taken by the awesome Phindy Studios -- Check their blog for more photos from the event.  And visit the StudioWed website to find a list of the Nashville "exclusive vendors".  You can feel confident hiring any of these wedding professionals for your big day.

We Never Looked Better!

DateMarch 8, 2010

A few posts back we introduced you to the oh so talented Brittany Fuson, of Brittany Fuson Stationery and Design. We also mentioned a little project we had Brittany working on for the ladies of McNeal Wedding Films.  Well, we have been sitting on the edge of our seats awaiting its arrival, and here it is!  It is even better than we imagined it would be.  Brittany took each of our personalities and truly created a great piece of art for us to use in our market media.

Of course, we all wish we really look like this!  But we think Brittany did a great job of capturing our inner beauty.  :-)  When you have a moment, take a look at Brittany's work -- a girl who is talented, artistic, sweet, and has a soft spot for fashion and weddings we just can't help but promote!

5 Things About Us

DateFebruary 24, 2010

StudioWed Nashville is having their grand opening next week!  You are invited to enjoy hors d'oeuvres and cocktails while mingling with the best wedding vendors in Nashville.  Please join us on March 1 from 5-9pm.  The studio is located at 1200 Villa Place, #402 in Nashville.

And while I'm on the subject of StudioWed, I'd like to share one of their recent blog posts with you -- 5 Things about McNeal Wedding Films!

 

1.  We are a team of women who specialize in weddings.  Weddings are all we do.  No dance recitals, bar mitzvahs, commercial work, etc.  Only films related to weddings.

2.  Our goal is to produce wedding films that you will be thrilled with now, that you will continue to love over time, and that will not look "dated" when you watch it years later.

3.  We accept a limited number of wedding events each year to insure each couple receives the time and attention they deserve.

4.  When you visit our Screening Room, you will find that instead of posting just "highlight" clips, we post all chapters of a wedding DVD (except the full ceremony and raw footage).  We do this because we feel it better shows the quality and consistency of our work.

5.  We feel that we have one of the best jobs on earth.  We meet some of the nicest people ever, and cherish the friendships we develop with our clients.  Plus we get to eat alot of wedding cake!

Cute Stuff!

DateFebruary 23, 2010

There are many things that we love about working in the wedding industry.  We meet and get to know wonderful couples that are excited about where their lives are headed.  We get to spend time with them, their friends and family on one of the happiest days of their lives.  And even though we're working, we still enjoy the party atmosphere of the receptions.  But one of the best things about this job is seeing all the pretty flowers, gorgeous gowns, and just plain cute stuff that is so carefully chosen to make the engagement period and wedding day extra special. 

We've decided to create a "cute stuff" category so we can share some of these things with you from time to time, and the first thing we're going to show you is Brittany Fuson Stationery & Design. 

I enjoyed meeting with Brittany last weekend.   She's a Nashville girl -- you can read more about her by visiting her website.  And while there, look through her collection.  Everything is sooo cute! You can also find info about Brittany and her designs on her Facebook page.  You don't have to be a bride to appreciate her work, but there is, of course, a special bridal collection for brides looking for something a little different.

I was so impressed by Brittany and her talent that I have her working on a special project for me.   So stay tuned . . . I'll share it with you soon!

Sometimes Only Video Will Do

DateFebruary 12, 2010

I have a gallery in our screening room that is made up of clips from weddings that are examples of moments during a wedding day when a photo just isn't enough.  These clips go beyond the obvious things like wedding vows, toasts made at the reception, etc.   Because really -- sometimes only video will do.  

Last night while at the HER/Wedding101 gathering, I met Rhonda Hendricks.  I've heard many good things about Rhonda and her photographer husband, Joe - so this morning I visited their website and blog.  When I saw this video clip on their blog, I knew immediately that I just had to share.  It has nothing to do with weddings, but it is such a good example of why sometimes you just have to have video.  I actually laughed out loud while watching it.  The guy in the clip is Joe Hendriks, of Joe Hendricks Photography.  I haven't had the opportunity (yet) to work with Joe and Rhonda, but she was as nice as could be -- and Joe sure looks like he would be alot of fun!

OPULENT COUTURIER - Event Styling and Planning

DateFebruary 10, 2010

I was probably once considered to be 'stylish'.  That was before McNeal Wedding Films took over my life.  Now a stylish day for me is when I'm dressed in all black attire while shooting a wedding.  Other days of the week you'll find me in sweats or something equally comfortable (like jammies) while I sit in my office and edit.  Comfy is now my "style".

And while 'stylish' may not be the word you would use to describe me, I do recognize style when I see it.  Meet Latrice - and meet Opulent Couturier (formerly Bridal Opulence). 

Latrice is upbeat and has a reputation for her attention to detail.  Her knowledge of the latest, up-to-the minute trends, as well as her experience and knowledge of the wedding industry will bring the vision of your wedding day to life and will insure you have the memorable event that you dream of. 

I have gotten to know Latrice through Twitter - and so many times she will say something that makes me feel like I am talking to my sister, Cheryl.   Lord help me if the two of them ever meet (which is only a matter of time) - they are both fashion-forward women who like bright sparkly things.  I can only imagine the conversation!  :-)

Check out her new website and blog -- its one of my favorites.  Lots of eye-candy there. Speaking of which . . . McNeal Wedding Films is her current "Eye Candy" feature.  And we're so proud to be there!
