I’m rea
lly excited to work with Aaron & Renee of Captured Productions this summer! They’ll be capturing the lovely wedding day of my June 21st couple. The last few months I’ve enjoyed perusing the CP website and blog to check out all of the lovely weddings, engagements and personal videos—they do wonderful work, so if you haven’t checked them out, head over to their website soon!
I wanted to share a fun and creative wedding invitation they created!
First, guests will open this…
to find this…
which they will then open to find this…
then, pop in the dvd and they will be surprised with this!
Friends and family would get a kick out of this! How neat to create a video to share with them that will tell the story of how you met! Really, I don’t even know this couple and I loved watching it! For more information and to check out more of their work, head over to the Captured Productions website and blog!
This weekend will be one of the few that I will be officially out of office, unplugged and disconnected! My husband is taking me to Chicago this weekend for my birthday and I’m looking forward to 3 days filled with some of my favorite places. I love Chicago, and it’s one of my favorite locations for a weekend mini-vacation since it’s less than 2 hrs (and a grand total of $14) to hop on the train and get dropped off right downtown.
We’ll be in town until Sunday and I have a long list of must-sees including the Museum of Science and Industry, Crate & Barrel, Navy Pier and (drum roll please)…The Cheesecake Factory! I can’t remember a time I’ve ever ventured into Chicago and NOT stopped at the Cheesecake Factory. I’m also excited for a few new places we plan on going to including a fondue restaurant that Megan, my May 16th bride suggested! It will be my first fondue experience and I have been excited about it for way too long, so you can expect a full update! Have a great weekend everyone, and I’ll be back on Monday!
