Reagan and Michael’s Wedding Film … March 26, 2010

Portal Films … enough said!    Andy Jackson with Portal Films is simply AMAZING!   {let me set the scene real quick}

Regan and Michael’s wedding was simply stunning and we enjoyed so much working with the two love birds for the whole 14 months.  Their October 3, 2009 wedding was held at the quaint Shaker Village {a truly gorgeous backdrop}.  Regan and Michael currently live in Pittsburgh, PA and 85% of their guests were from out of state, so they wanted to show everyone true Southern Hospitality – which I think they achieved ten times over.

{pretty pictures and special details to come in a post soon}

Regan and Michael truly embraced this time in their lives and wanted to capture their feelings, style, and emotions on film so that they could cherish and remember for a lifetime.  They were able to achieve this with Portal Films! 

Below is a short four minute film that Andy was kind enough to put together so that we could share with the you.  So, please grab a tissue, turn on your volume and embrace what you are about to see and feel from this simply amazing film …

Napkin Folds Video … December 10, 2009

Napkins … now most people will think – what’s the big deal?  Well, if you’ve ever seen photos of a beautiful event – an event that you know took thousands of dollars to put together – and everything’s in place … gorgeous linens, lush flowers, lots of votives to give that perfect candlelit glow, they paid extra for the chivari chairs, and more … then you see it … the dreaded triangle, tipi napkin fold that is in every restaurant across the nation.  What does this really say about the reception? 

So, to stop the triangle madness … we have created a short “film” on three napkin folds that are easy to do and will bring that special touch to your event. 

Before watching this video, I would like to give a small disclaimer:

* this is our first attempt to make a “how to” video – or any video for that matter – so please be kind …

* the camera really DOES add 10 pounds  {uh oh – gym here i come}

So, without further ado …

 

 

We hope that this was useful for you or someone you may know.  We would love to see or hear about Napkin folds that you like or you have done.  {we love photos, so please send to jaime@jackiallen.com}
