We have been working hard on renovating two historic train cars in our hometown of Oviedo, Florida, into a beautiful gallery and office as well as a full functioning studio space. So what better way to show it off than have a big old party to “officially” open the doors to our new train car studio. We were happy to see over 100 clients, other wedding vendors, business partners, friends and neighbors show up to help celebrate our new digs. The mayor of Oviedo, and several city council members, even stopped by to check it out and help with the ribbon cutting ceremony. We are so thankful to everybody that helped make the event the talk of the town. This studio is truly a work of art in itself and Cristy and I are excited to share it with the world. So, if you want to check it out, give us a call and set up a time for your own personal train car shoot and experience.

A special thanks to Lisa Konecny & Jesse Rivers of E-Events, Lee Heard of Czes Heard Design, Jay Clark of Brix Restaurant Orlando, Schuyler Osborne of Perfect Sky Productions, Kristin Hubbard of Our DJ Rocks, Abby Liga of The Liga District, Bryan Taylor of Tagas Events and Production Services, Darrin of Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals, Cotton Candy of Once Upon a Time Events, Molly & Jeff Brown of Cinematique Films, BB & J Linens, Coast 2 Coast Party Rentals, Zeus Event Furniture Rentals, Leos Italian Ice, and to all of our friends and neighbors who helped make this an incredible party!!!

Lesa, Gage is growing into quite the young man.  He’s kind, he’s generous and such a good kid.  You’ve done well my friend, I love you! :)   [[Show as slideshow]]
