Brian and I are so excited about this next two weeks! We have five billion things to do, but he’s visiting with the neighbors at midnight, and I’m writing another post on my blog! Are we crazy or what? Tomorrow we take the two kids and fly to Maui to shoot one VH1′s My Big Fat Fabulous Weddings for their popular Fabulous Life series! We are so excited b/c not only is it going to be a blast to shoot with VH1 again, but it’s also my baby brother getting married!

I have to say that the above shot is one of my favorite from their engagement session. We were taking a break, and I turned around to see Erica rest her head on Shae’s shoulder–and I couldn’t help but shoot away. But you know who is more excited about this wedding than anyone else? Our daughter, Pascaline! Pascaline, our 5 yr. old, is the flower girl. And Blaze, our 2 yr. old, is the ring bearer.

Brian and I have a feeling that Pascaline will want to be the center of attention since the flower girl is much more important than the bride in her mind. And poor little Blaze probably want know how to walk down the aisle in front of all the people and camera crew while mom and dad are shooting pictures. Should be interesting!

The best part, this will all be televised in September 6th 2007 when the My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding series starts! We’re also flying in Josh Smith with www.cinematicbride.com to film our adventures and develop some fun promo material for us to share with you and all our clients. He’ll be shadowing our adventures in Maui as we shoot the wedding and do a special shoot with a musician whose meeting us on the island (more info to come! So stay tuned to our blog or http://www.merakoh.com/ for the teaser trailer on the website in early September 2006!

After Maui, we fly home with enough time to take our clothes to the dry cleaners and then pack our suitcase again as we head out to our next destination wedding in beautiful Sonoma, CA. The wedding is taking place at a villa in the wine country. We can’t wait to post some images for you when we’re back! For Photographers: A number of you from all over the country give me the honor of emailing me your stories and questions every week. I feel overwhelmed with how kind your emails are. It’s my goal to answer all of your emails in a timely manner, but I’d love to ask for your patience as I’m a bit behind with our July schedule. If you have not heard back from me, you will soon!
