Planning idea - butter service

At a recent wedding we saw butter served in a way we've never seen it before!




Very interesting and adds a bit of character and whimsy to the table. If you want to (and your caterer is willing... and the leaves are big enough!), you might be able to skip the plate entirely. Fewer dishes to wash and your guests get to see something original!

"Why I Go To Weddings" - Wedding bloopers video clip

We received this clip via email a of couple days ago. Though none of this footage is ours (it was streamed through a video sharing site and judging by the ABC logo and laugh track is likely a product of America's Funniest Home Videos), we have seen our share of events like this! It proves why video can be such a priceless (and sometimes humorous) gift in the grand scheme of your wedding. Enjoy!

Sara and Brad - November 24, 2007 - University of Maryland College Park

Sara and Brad were married Thanksgiving weekend of 2007 at the University of Maryland Memorial Chapel with the reception following at the University of Maryland University College Inn and Conference Center (by Marriott). Video Express videos weddings at UMD at least a few times every season; our studio is close to campus and the chapel is a popular ceremony spot for College Park alumni, faculty, staff, and family. It is a beautiful church that looks great on video and welcomes ceremonies of all religious beliefs. The Inn and Conference Center does a wonderful job with receptions and is convenient to the chapel.

Tom did a great job capturing all of Sara and Brad's special moments. The weather was a little cold, but the sunshine made up for it on video! You can view their slow motion summary below. Sara and Brad are (surprisingly) the first couple to ever select the piano theme from the sweet movie Love Actually as one of the songs for their video and it worked beautifully. Paired with My Wish by Rascal Flatts, the clip is both visually and emotionally moving. Enjoy!
