I've always said that one of the best decisions I ever made was hiring a cinematographer to film my wedding. I still pull it out time after time to relive the day, to see our moment in a way that is so incredibly tangible. So real that it seems like I'm right there in that pretty white dress all over again. So every time we get a video to accompany a real wedding feature, we smile. And if that film happens to be from Joel Serrato... [MORE]

Then I saw the vendor list... [MORE]

To me, there is something so magical about renewing your vows. I tied the knot when I was 25 years old and although it was and will always be the most incredibly meaningful day of my life, I think that time and the chaos of life often make the words fade away a bit. Plus, you get to wear a pretty dress again and have a great reason to throw a gorgeous party. Oh and the romance. Ahhh, the romance. Well, Jill La Fleur and her cute... [MORE]

Absolutely beautiful. [MORE]
Anytime Joel Serrato sends me something, I know it's going to be good. Shed-a-few-tears kind of good. And this clip, featuring the most gorgeous wedding at the wonderful Riverside Farms in Pittsfield Vermont, is definitely one of his best.
