Few things make my smile wider or put more of a spring in my step than getting that email from a couple letting me know how happy they are with they’re wedding film. Janessa and Brad were a great couple to work with, and they’re July wedding gave me yet another opportunity to spend some time with photographer extraordinaire Marco Antonio. Also on hand were the guys from Music Box Productions spinning tunes all night long at The Captains Club in Grand Blanc.

From the Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian in downtown Detroit to the Palazzo Grande in Shelby Township, everything about Lauren and Jason’s wedding day was simply gorgeous. But nothing was as stunning as the couple themselves. Marco Antonio was the man behind the still lens and The Dan Rafferty Band kept the party going all night long.

One of the coolest aspects of my job is the learning potential on every different project. One week I might be filming in a glass production facility and the next I might be documenting the training regimen of a semi-pro football team. Whatever the case may be, as a video producer its important that I grasp the fundamentals to ensure a coherent video. What’s really cool is when I’m afforded the opportunity to take what I’ve learned and use it in my daily life.

Now, for the most part, my culinary endeavors have been limited to either “brown a pound of ground beef and add some stuff,” or “throw it in the oven at 350 for an hour.” After this project, however, I’m more determined than ever to broaden my horizons in the kitchen.

Danny Wassmund is an up and comer is the world of culinary excellence. In this video he walks us through the process of creating an elegant yet deceptively simple meal, and I can personally testify that the results were fantastic! Aside from the Harissa, which I’d never heard of, he’s using common ingredients and a few secret techniques to put together a pretty impressive meal.
