This ones for the boys….or for the girls who buy things for the boys.
The new Jedidiah Summer 2010 boardshorts are now available at JEDIDIAHUSA.COM. Take a gander…they’re pretty fresh.
I asked my good friend Russell Brownley if he we do me the honor of putting together a short video of Sam and I for our wedding day. Instead of the traditional slideshow you often see at receptions, I wanted to create something a little different…. more of a video montage of past and present…. combining archival footage with Super 8 film. I scrounged up some old home videos from Sam’s parents as well as my own, footage they had shot of us when we were kids, and converted them all onto DVD’s. I spent far too many nights sitting on the couch with my family crying with laughter over these videos. Ohhhh the memories! I spent hours sifting through old photo boxes picking out my favorites from each “stage” of childhood. And then i went through my own albums and pulled pictures from when Sam and I first started dating up until now.
I have always loved the old Super 8 style film, and lucky for me, Russell had just the right stuff to make it happen. He took us out a few evenings after work and shot us at the beach and riding bikes around our neighborhood. I handed off all the old DVD’s and pictures I had gathered to Russell, and he ran with it from there. When I saw the video he had made for us for the first time, I nearly started crying. It is exactly what I was hoping for.
I wanted to share the incredible video Matthew Forrey put together for Sam and I on our wedding day. He pieced together and edited the footage all in under two hours (during cocktail hour of the wedding) and we were able to share it with guests at the end of the night on a huge projector screen! It had the whole crowd in tears! Every time I watch it, it brings me back to that very moment, and I re-live the joy of that day all over again. Thank you Matt for creating such a timeless treasure.
