Jack contacted me from England months in advance as he started preparing for what was to be a well orchestrated and extremely romantic proposal on the beach in Santa Monica, CA. The idea was that I’d coincidentally be filming a low budget music video of an acapella group on the boardwalk as they just happened to walk by. Maddie could not have been more surprised.
I’ve had the privilege and honor of creating a montage for each of the first 3 birthdays for Kate, this being the most recent. It will definitely be a fun way for her to look back on her life as she gets older. Imagine if you could watch a 5 minute video recap of every year you’ve lived? Time sure does fly by…
I had the pleasure of filming Lena and Bobby’s wedding a few years ago here at Saint Sophia Cathedral in Los Angeles, and this past July I had the honor of being asked to film the baptism of their first child, Katerina. Just two hours of coverage of the ceremony itself with two cameras, but here’s a quick recap.
So after some chocolate cravings last week, a dear friend of mine surprised me with a Basketball themed box of Whitman’s chocolates. It hit the spot for sure, but because the faux leather basketball made for such a unique box, I decided to keep it, minus the insert for chocolates. That’s when I realized, but that chocolate holder would make a great holder for a diamond ring… or whatever kind of stone you’d like to propose with. The box itself could plausibly come without the plastic wrap sealing as well, but if you REALLY wanted to make it legit, it’s easy to find tools to re seal, or just use a blow dryer and saran wrap.
Regardless, if you play it right, the anticipation of a possible proposal, followed by a gifting of flowers and box of chocolates, might just make for a wonderfully special moment. From letdown to jubilation. Just a thought as I head to church…
Stay dry out there in this beautiful Los Angeles monsoon. 😉
