Studio 67: Mara + Curtis / SDE / Taking the Plunge / Niagara Falls

Mara wore her gorgeous wedding gown, not the ugly one she won (those were her words) that we trashed (see post below for their TTD session) but rather, her dream dress, beautiful shoes and a sparkling tiara and veil - she looked absolutely amazing. Mara's dog Sydney also wore a matching dress and veil... soooo cute! Yesterday was the day that her and Curtis had organized and waited for for so long. The details were planned to a tee - after hours and hours of emails and phone calls from New York City to Niagara Falls, Canada. The ceremony was beautiful in the Garden Oak Theatre right on the falls' edge. It was brutally hot, but that didn't stop everyone from enjoying themselves. When Mara stood up before her guests at the reception and told them that her and Curtis had actually taken the plunge a few days before, everyone was confused... until we showed their SDE and it all made sense. We played the TTD piece immediately following the SDE and both were applauded with enthusiasm. A few important people we want to thank include... Jessica, the matron of honour - who's efforts to escort us from hotel to hotel during the preps were so appreciated, you are organized and helpful and were the perfect right hand to your best friend on her big day. Thanks to Bill at the Royal Crowne Plaza for assisting us with the reception set up - never before have I been asked "how do you want the room arranged, it's up to you and your team"... "pardon me Bill???" Bill said Mara told him to ask us how we wanted everything set up. (Mara, you are so considerate and kind and generous - your enthusiasm and excitement for our work is so appreciated). We also want to thank Cody the Waterpark manager for granting us special permission to trash the dress in the waterpark. The live entertainment continued all day long. We enjoyed a string quartet, jazz trio and live band which played everything from Michael Buble to Michael Jackson, all part of the Nick Entertainment Group. Thanks again to Matthew Craggs for joining us, he's such a great compliment to our creativity and passion for capturing and preserving such special memories.
Mara and Curtis, enjoy your Mediterranean Cruise... we are so glad you "love, love, love" your SDE! You're so very welcome! xo
