HD Wedding Videos Make Every Day Better

Oct29

Suzanna & Kegan Part 2! from Michael Antonia on Vimeo.

We've mentioned before how enamored we are of adorable wedding videos, and in particular those found on The Flashdance Blog (which is a fantastic compilation between Max Wanger, the Our Labor of Love photographers, and dj The Human Jukebox).

The video above is of Suzanna and Kegan's wedding filmed by Brian, and we may or may not have watched it at least 15 times on repeat.  And as a side note, we think the idea of sparklers at a wedding are a superb summer wedding idea.  Think of the photo/video opps!

We're updating our brand new Phoenix Wedding Guide all week!  The latest edition: A guide to Hiring the Perfect Wedding Photographer in Arizona!

Phoenix, with its sweeping desert areas, gorgeous greens, and chic downtown district, makes for stunning wedding backdrops. Lucky for you, you’re going to catch all of that, and more, with a fabulous wedding photographer. The fifth-largest city in the country is one of the most popular wedding destinations; check out the full article, and finding the perfect photographer should be as easy as saying “cheese.”

And if you're not planning a wedding in the Phoenix area, perhaps one of our other local wedding guides would be more useful for you: New York, Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, Indianapolis, the San Francisco Bay Area and the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.


How the First Couple Affects Modern Married Life

Oct29

The New York Times published an article this week called The First Marriage, all about how the Obama's personal relationship is being affected by their professional and political life, and influencing other modern marrieds.  It's an interesting angle to explore: Can a couple truly be equals when one of them is the President?

Check out the full NYT article here.

Okay, very few of us will ever be (or be married to) a President.  Still, it's an interesting scenario to compare against the different responsibilities and power dynamics that exist in all marriages.

We're not a political blog at all; we just like to talk about love, romance, wedding planning and married life... and we think their married life looks pretty cool!  However you feel about Obama as our President, you have to admit that it's kinda great that he's keeping "date night" alive in spite of his schedule, and his opponents attempts to turn his life with his wife into something political they can attack.


Do Churches Have the Right to Cancel a Wedding Over the Couple's Outfits?

Oct29

Just in time for halloween!

The New York Daily News is reporting that church officials have called off the wedding of Lisa Panensky and Jim Nieves when they found out the happy couple would be dressed in costumes and walk down the aisle to The Munsters theme music.

Oh, yeah: the church in question is the same church referenced in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow!

You'd think they'd be used to such requests!  Then again, maybe that's the issue: Maybe they're sick of such requests!

What do you think?
