However, a few minutes before the ceremony mother nature had a different plan so we had to put plan B (under the patio) into effect, and then plan C in the gazebo, why not a combo of B & C (always good to have a back up plan). In the end it turned out great with the couple surrounded by wedding party shielded from the elements and guests overlooking from the patio. And just as the bride was safe undercover...the sun came out. The ceremony was followed by pictures on the property before entering the ballroom for the reception were everyone had a blast!

For New Years Eve I traveled to Boston for the wedding of Claire and Eddy. What a great way to bring in 2011. Even though the city was covered with some snow, temps were in the 50s which is obviously almost unheard of for New England in December. Preparation started at Claires house, then it was off to St. Gregory's Church to meet up with Eddy. The evening ended with a New Years eve style reception and countdown to 2011. Dj Peter Accolla played the tunes of the night. Photography was by Bob Pattision who was great fun to work with.

A little break from weddings... Gazella Performance and Wellness Studio in Skaneateles, Ny needed a promo video for their website so it was a perfect opportunity to work on something different.

It was a challenge to fit it all into a 2 min video, but we had a blast putting it together. Enjoy!
