Since I’m often accused of being the Cobbler who’s children have no shoes…..I was able to get Baby Conner and Little Jack to cooperate for a few portraits in the back yard over the weekend……..

There hasn’t been much on the blog the last few days, except for the latest version of my “before and after” examples. I actually had the past weekend off, so we packed up the boys, and headed to the waterpark capital of the midwest, otherwise known as the Wisconsin Dells for a short weekend trip, along with our twin nieces, brother and sister-in law, and Amy’s parents.

I normally don’t pay much attention to making family videos, but I wanted to test drive the new iPhone’s video ability, as well as find out how easy it is to actually edit a short video together right on the phone. I was actually very surprised at how easy it was to cut the clips together (along with a couple of stills from the trip) using the mobile version of iMovie, which now has me thinking of some other video ideas/projects to start working on.

Gina and Frank were married at St. Robert Bellamine Parish, where Gina and three of her bridemaid’s also attended elementary and middle school.  So it was natural that after the ceremony before heading to the reception that they wanted to scoot over to the school building for a quick picture in one of their old classrooms.

hThe highlight of their reception was the kick-ass performance of Maggie Speaks.  I know a lot of brides think if they have a band they are going to be sacrificing some of the more modern and current hits that their friends like to dance to.  ”Maggie’s” set list from Gina & Frank’s wedding included everything from wedding classics such as “Brown Eyed Girl” and “We Are Family” to current pop-rock versions of “Sexy-Back,” “Bad Romance,” “Let’s Get it Started,” “Soul Sister,” and “Disturbia.”

If you’re even remotely considering a band over a DJ for your wedding reception, your search should definitely include Maggie Speaks!
