Karen & Ryan's Wedding - for FREE!

Here's a clip from a recent wedding that I was glad to be a part of, Karen and Ryan, married at St. Blase in Sterling Heights with Reception at the beautiful Palazzo Grande in Shelby Twp.:


Karen was the lucky winner of a promotion I held at the Palace Bridal Show last August, where I was giving away a free Video Package...Karen's name was drawn and the rest is history!

It turned out great, they were great people and I had a blast!! What a beautiful couple and wedding...Thanks Karen!

Do-it-yourself wedding Do's and Don'ts




Read my article at the following link:


Any fans of the TV Show, Survivor?




A brief story about my experiences with Examiner.com....(trust me, it leads into the topic of Survivor...)


As many of you know (or may not know...) I began writing a column for Examiner.com last July, the Detroit Wedding Examiner (they call all of their columnists "Examiners.") It has been an overwhelming success, and since then I have published over 100 articles to help brides in the Detroit area plan their wedding, and give them free inside tips and tricks on everything weddings.


As fate would have it, in October, the local position of Detroit Movie Examiner opened up. I am a huge film buff, and applied for the position simply as a way to maybe "blog" about movies that I see. I saw no potential in it business wise....boy was I wrong. In February I was selected as part of a nation-wide promotion by Examiner.com and NCM.com (National CineMedia), and I was flown to Denver to create a 30 second commercial featuring me...to promote my movie reviews that appear on Examiner.com and NCM.com. Since then, I am hoping to join a few Film Critic Societies, and have gotten free screenings to many movies to supply early reviews to my readers. Close to my 40th movie review, this column is going strong as well, and my commercial is playing in local Detroit theatres all over the place (prior to show time on-screen), through the summer...Oh yah, I also appear in a nation-wide spot as well, and have been seen by friends in New York City and in Kansas.


So you're wondering...what does all this have to do with Survivor? Well, I have just been appointed as the national Survivor Examiner! I have been a HUGE fan of the show since the very 1st season, and have not missed one episode...ever. This is my first "national" column, and again I don't foresee any "business" benefit, just an opportunity to discuss my favorite show with other fans (and possibly future exit interviews with actual cast-aways!)


So if you're getting married, well great: check out the Detroit Wedding Examiner, and get in touch if you are looking for award-winning Videography.


If you love movies, and want the latest on the emerging film industry in Michigan: check out the Detroit Movie Examiner.


And if you love Survivor like I do, be sure to check out my Survivor Examiner column. I will be covering from now thru the end of Heroes vs. Villains, and then all summer too, leading into next fall's new season.


If you like all 3 then great!!!!


Thanks to everyone for your support, and I hope to have you subscribe to the columns, tell your friends, and participate by leaving comments!!!!


Sincerely,
