Pink sequins, Valentine's day, and The Best Videographer In the World

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!  May today be an extra special celebration of what is practiced all year round.






Top: Exact here (in alternate colors)
Skirt: thrifted - similar here 
Plaid shirt - similar here
Necklace - H&M (old)

At a glance: 


The SO and I have never been big Valentine's Day celebrators, and it's just as well as it turns out that this planning-a-wedding business gets expensive and we need to save where we can. So the plan is to curl up with a good movie and bottle o'vino tonight, which sounds pretty romantic to me. Especially if we splurge on a non twist-off top variety.

And speaking of weddings, we booked our videographer!!!!!!!!! That may not seem like an 9-exclamation point-worthy announcement, but if you watch the video below that he produced, you'll understand my excitement.  I discovered Geoff Boothby and Landshark Video last year when this video went viral on Facebook, and he was the second person I contacted when we got engaged. I seriously considered calling him before my own mother.  He shoots with a regular digital camera and an old Super 8, and the result is stunning.

I hope you all have a beautiful, love-filled day in whatever form it may take. Thank you for reading, friends.

  16. Ok, I just checked out a whole bunch of his videos, and I'd say that booking him definitely warrants 9 exclamation points...maybe even 10! He's an artist and the way he shoots & edits is nothing short of brilliant.

    I hope you'll share the video he takes of your wedding here for us all to see.

  19. I'm not sure what to do about my commenting system - I like the feedback you get with Disqus, but so many people have problems with it. The pup is amazing - he has come out of his shell and is such a bouncy, bubbly little thing!
