Monika & Juan: Chocolate Twist

At times it'll take "a while" for my clients' professional photos to make their way to me. So, we'll add this one to the list...

Today, I finally got to view my Chocolate Twist couple's pro-pics! As always we started with an inspiration board and through careful planning, the event was a huge success. Monika and Juan's top priority was the comfort and enjoyment of their guests, so lots of focus was placed on details to ensure each and every family member and friend had a blast. In addition to a personalized aisle runner, the invitees were WOW'd with "autumn leaf" place cards that were hung from ribbons on a bronze-metal tree, a fabulously fun Mexican Mariachi band for the hour-and-a-half cocktail hour, assorted gourmet caramel apples as favors, an awesome photo booth (that wasn't vacant once all night) and The Venetian's EXTRAORDINARY dessert extravaganza, just to name a few.

One thing that made working with Monika and Juan such a pleasure was their "openness." They were open to non-traditional ideas, they were open to taking risks and they were open to thinking outside-the-box. To sum it up, this couple was an innovative wedding planner's dream! I loved everything we executed and was so proud to see the looks on everyone's faces.

So glad to share a few of their moments, thanks to Glenmar Photographers!

scam (skām): A fraudulent business scheme

Y esterday, I received my first wedding scam attempt (guess my latest marketing and advertising efforts are starting to work). I received an email from an "Irish" bride-to-be whose fiance was offered a job in the U.S. and needed help planning a small wedding in New Jersey. I vaguely remembered hearing of certain swindle attempts on wedding vendors (especially photographers and videographers), so my radar peaked immediately, however, I didn't jump to any conclusions right away. I responded to the email, drew up a preliminary proposal, quoted cost of service and submitted an invoice for payment. Nonetheless, when it became apparent that the bride-to-be and her French fiance only intended on mailing a cashier's check, I knew right away what I was dealing with ... a scam! I happen to know that international cashier's checks are not fully validated for 90 days. So even though the check may clear at first, if found to be phony, the money is later deducted. I must say, i

"Farm Sweet Farm" 1st Birthday Party

My husband and I celebrated our baby twins, Jonah & Gia's, 1st birthday with a "Farm Sweet Farm" party last weekend.  The party was held at our home (aka The Anderson Farm ) and our closest family and friends excitedly attended.  Honestly it's still difficult for us to believe a full year has gone by since they entered our lives, but one thing was clear from the beginning --- we had a lot to celebrate and we intended to do just that! Everyone had loads of fun; they would've partied until the cows came home if we let them.  And since the guests of honor LOVE animals, the theme proved to be absolutely perfect for them and their guests.  To most, I'm known for planning amazing weddings and bridal celebrations by means of THE BRIDAL PARTY , so it was really a lot of fun to step outside of my comfort zone and show off my versatility and range.  I can't deny, this was FUN!  I'm still quite "giddy" about it all. * * * * * * * * * * INVITA

There's just something about perusing their aisles and discovering those diamonds in the rough .
