Oh what a night.

Last night I shot an engagement video at a restaurant. A high end Italian place call Ferriovia. It's not completely finished. The groom is part of the design team and the Head chef. The place looks like an episode of Opening soon. You know the program about new restaurant that are opening soon that are plagued with problems.

Turns out they are having some of the same kinds of problems. The permit department are nuts, signs having to come down because of the city, a crazy competitor and all kinds of contractor problems.

It is soooooo exciting.

The shoot centred around the bridal party. Starts off with the girls and the bride driving to the restaurant all packed into a car with the best man as the driver. They painting a french style moustache. You know the one that curls. Looked really funny. The best man played the drivers, the host, the waiter.

Since the restaurant is still being built they cleared out a huge couch for the one of the scenes and even the bar area. It was like we had a custom set.

When we were done I brought in the Engagement portrait collage - You gotta know how cool it is to have a bunch of people gush about your work.

Actually - I'm not very good at taking complements. I blame my parents. My mother is a psychologist so I'm sure she used her mind voodoo on me. I get uncomfortable and want to leave as soon as possible. It's so strange cuase I'm the least shy person I know. I just can't take a compliment. weird

I love the internet. It's now become such a huge part of my life. Alhough it does get a little silly. The other day I went into a restaurant in Ft Lauderdale and my briefcase must have weighed 40 pounds. As I took things out of my bag I started to laugh.
