Little known (meaningless) fact: The Monarch butterfly cannot fly when the temperature dips around 60 degrees. How ’bout that! And when can this fact come in handy? When you’re the best man (that was me) at your buddy’s wedding and it’s your responsibility to open the lid and let the butterflies outta the shoe box right when the couple of the day has their first kiss! This was too funny not to share! 

Now and then I’ll create outtakes at the end of my production. This clip will begin with the very end of my production of Gayla’s wedding. Stay with it, as it’ll take you into one of the most hilarious happenings I’ve seen at a wedding. My bride and groom had their grand exit…to nowhere! They couldn’t find their car!! Unforgettable!

This groom’s cake is among the very best I’ve seen. Cakes by Gina did a rip-roarin’ job on this baby!

My baby girl got married! And I conspired with her two brothers (my boys) to surprise her with a dance. I had to share this with you.

An exciting part of my work is in getting to experience the emotions of the big day. Julie and Ricky were just married and, I’ve always said that the most moving part of the ceremony for me is when dad gives his girl away. This simple, short clip tells a story that spans years and years of raising a daughter from toddler to womanhood.

Our attention to detail regarding capturing the emotion, the love in the air, is what sets us apart. We take care to stay on the sidelines while giving the “feel” that we’re right there close up. http://stopdiggin.com/video/forblog/julie.flv

I had to share this! Amber and Anthony were married and had the youngest ring bearer I’ve even seen actually make it down the aisle…kinda…http://stopdiggin.com/video/forblog/ringbearer.flv

Well, I had always herd of ‘em, but by golly I was shocked when, thru my lens, I saw dad carrying a shotgun down the aisle. The crowd certainly didn’t expect this prank!http://stopdiggin.com/video/forblog/shotgun.flv

I see it all, and at times I see something that I just must share!

http://stopdiggin.com/video/forblog/flowergirl.flvOMG! I always look forward to filming the flower girl and the ring bearer. You just don’t know what you’re going to see. This little couple is precious! Notice how comfortable the little girl is and how UNcomfortable the boy is as they make their way down the aisle. As with all our ceremonies, we’re careful to stay relatively “invisible” while getting the premium camera angles.

This one was a camera shaker. I was behind the camera at this wedding of Sandra and Eric.http://stopdiggin.com/video/forblog/singleladies.flv There I was, positioned to watch the groom throw the garter into the crowd of single guys. Then it happened. The groomsmen Started the performance, and I was just dying!
