Sara Gabriel Slide Show

How could you not want to wear one of these designs? As promised, this video is a slide show highlighting Sara Gabriel's exquisite designs as modeled by Erin Nycz and seen by Neil and Calfa, two of the talented photographers at Front Room Photography. The photo shoot can be seen behind the scenes in the short video I posted here earlier.

Meet Sara this weekend! She will be arriving Thursday in the late afternoon and will be available all of Friday and Saturday for personal appointments.

Sara Gabriel Photo Shoot

There are many bright spots to having a bridal boutique and one of them is the incredible opportunities afforded us by other creative people who also love all things wedding - like our artistic friends at Front Room Photography. Laura and I had this brainstorm to create a video slide show of Sara Gabriel veils and hair accessories before her arrival next week. Neil and Calfa of Front Room and our incredible bride and model Erin made it a reality today. We all met at Front Room's magnificent new studio for a fantastic photo shoot today and the results are spectacular! Once you see the photos you'll completely understand our passion for beautiful veils and accessories - especially those of Sara Gabriel. There's just no denying the romance, drama and sophistication that can be achieved with the well chosen veil artfully captured by a gifted photographer.

You'll have to check back later today or tomorrow to see the slide show,but in the meantime I thought I would share with you a little video I put together - not quite one minute long - of a behind the scenes look at the shoot which in reality took over two and half hours to complete. Enjoy!

I just have to brag

My nephew, David Flood, participated in Fine Arts Festival in Waupaca on Saturday. It is essentially a talent competition sponsored by the Assemblies of God Church in which approximately 60,000 teens nationwide participate. This is his last year to participate and he did extremely well - to the point of moving at least one judge to tears - and being advanced to the national competition in Charlotte, NC, this summer in three catagories. The best thing about David, though, is that he takes his music seriously but not so much himself. I am a proud aunt and so, in that spirit, I post this video of one of his performances.

A Premiere Couture Video Presentation

I'm playing around with making videos for us and here's my first attempt. This photo shoot took place at the Memorial Union with Front Room lending their talents. Rejuvenation Spa graciously provided hair and make-up. The beautiful guitar music is by my nephew, David Flood.
