2011 Little Smiles/Chili’s Golf Tournament

A few weeks back I had a chance to film the 2011 Little Smiles/Chili’s Golf Tournament. This was NOT your typical Golf Tournament! Bear Lakes Country Club played host to this one of kind event. This was Little Smile 11th annual Golf Tournament. Little Smile is is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that provides toys, games, DVD’s, computers, VIP outings, celebrity meet and greets, concert, sporting event tickets, theme park tickets, fun food runs, nerf gun wars and much, much more…for children in local hospitals, hospices and shelters.

Stars Ball 2011

Once a year the Little Smiles organization puts together an event called The Stars Ball. The Stars Ball is a black tie (optional) gala that is modeled after the Oscars. The only difference is that the actors are replaced with children who are much more important. These children in our region are battling cancer and other life altering conditions. For one night, the children are able to escape the reality of their conditions into a world of fantasy…. One where they are the STARS and where they are special and they are not sick or different from everyone else. The girls get beautiful gowns, their hair and makeup done and the boys are fitted with tuxedos. Then they are whisked away in a stretch limo and brought to The Harriet Himmel Theater to walk the red carpet. All of the guest line the red carpet to get photos and autographs of our Little Stars. This night is one of magic. It makes the children feel special and it gives them and their family a time that they will always remember.
We were asked again to film the Stars Ball again this year.We started the day early filming the setup at the The Harriet Himmel Theater. After shooting the the food prep and table settings we were off to film the BIG STARS at Pizazz Hair Studio and Bacio Bacio Bridal Salon. Over there the girls got into their beautiful gowns and got their hair and makeup done by Team Beauti. After everyone got dolled up the kids hopped into a big limo and was escorted by firetrucks all the way down to CityPlace. Once at The Harriet Himmel Theater they where met up by Kevin, Virginia and Jason from WILD 95.5 Morning Show and handreds of their fans Here is the video that we did of the event. Our crew also did a Same Day Edit as well. Enjoy.

Omphoy / Bacio Bacio Bridal Video & Photo Shoot

Hello Everyone! This past week we had the opportunity work with some of most talented vendors in the south florida wedding industry. This shoot was one of the most carefree and easy shoots I have ever been on! After seeing my “Rebekah + Brett Wedding Trailer” Lenyce Boyd from Bacio Bacio Bridal Salon contacted me and say “WE GOTTA WORK TOGETHER!” she was blown away not just by the edit but the location as well. The Omphoy Ocean Resort was the backdrop to Rebekah + Brett wedding. Lenyce loved the location for a photo/video shoot for her new webpage. After only a few weeks of planning she put together an amazing team. The all-star line included Chris Joriann Photography on Photos. LaFrance Films on video. Hair and Makeup by Team Beauti. Models where easy to work with as well. They even jumped into the pool! All in the name of fashion! Here is a photo of the models taking the big plunge and blow that is the video we did for the bridal salon and for the Omphoy. Enjoy!
