Katie & Semmes' Wedding Video

So Katie and Semmes had their New Orleans reception tonight at which we premiered their wedding music video chronicling one of the funnest weddings in history.

So finally I can share it with y'all.

Enjoy it! Share it! Let's get on Oprah!



Oh and here's the vimeo version which I think is sharper.

Katie and Semmes' Wedding: This is gonna take a while

Gonna take a while and multiple blog entries.

I mean, it was AN EVENT.

Katie already has the most infectious smile and laugh and spirit of anyone I know. Put her in a room with her dearest family and friends, get her MARRIED, and well, it was basically a 12 hour smilefest.

The band was amazing. Her photographer was amazing. Like AMAZING. The most creative guy I have ever seen.

Here's a teaser photo he posted on his blog.



And everyone was all smiles all day long.

Here are the first few photos I've worked on. There are so many photos, I really have no idea how this is going to work. Stay tuned!














Such a beautiful wedding.

Such a happy weekend.

Congrats Katie and Semmesey! Have fun in France!

Rehearsal dinner tonight!

Running around doing lots of things.

Gotta get a new flash for my camera. Gotta maybe find a cute tie. Maybe a fabulous shirt for a fabulous brunch.

Katie and Semmesey's Superwedding tomorrow.

Won't be able to post anything else major until Monday at the earliest. But there's a tidal wave of big blog posts coming!

In the meantime you can re-live our recent Katie and Semmes adventures here.

Congratulations soon-to-be Mrs. Swalmsley!!!!

Off to New Orleans / Katie's Brideshower!

I'm off to New Orleans with a motley crew (Danny Eric Zameer) it should be awesome!



Danny and I will be crashing with Katie and Semmes.

Since they're getting married next weekend, I suppose it's time I caught up and posted about Katie's bridal shower which she had almost two months ago now.

Katie's mom rented out Gregorio's, this cute little Italian restaurant in Chatham, NJ, and filled it with friends and family.



There was a delightful strawberry and goat cheese salad.



A single serving of Megoon.



AND MINICUPCAKES (this was all just to start)



It was a major multi-course ordeal.



And OMG PARMESAN CHICKEN



But not before a full plate of rigatoni appetizer!



And OMG SO MANY PRESENTS.



And a DK designed Newlywed Game Video.



I have never seen any of these people before in my life. Katie has lots of rando Jersey aunts.



PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKON!!!!!



And dipped strawbrys.



Presents took hours.





And then she wore a hat.

New Orleans

Finally. New Orleans.

It was a whirlwind. I had a bunch of photo shoots, so this was the most low-key trip so far. And since I was working and now have started establishing "a name" for myself in the little acting community out there, I guess I'm officially tri-coastal. Woo!

-----------------------------------

I landed. We wine and pizza-ed.






I met up with Katie and Semmes.

We beer and crabclaw-ed and oyster-ed.




(I ate my first raw oyster ever.)



Katie found a pearl.



Oh and they provide ingredients for you to make your own cocktail sauce.

Lemon, ketchup, and horseradish YUM.



We had some beers.



Had some epic pastrami sandwiches.



Bumped into the Real World cast.



Ate some jambalaya.



Went to concerts (it was French Quarter Fest so there was free music and people out everywhere).




Ate a teeny tiny Lobster Cobb Salad. (This picture actually makes it look average-sized, but really it was the size of a cupcake.)



It was just beautiful out the whole time.

Evenings were glorious.








And Abita Strawberry is the tastiest beer in the world.



Oh there was one night where we went to a show featuring that awful drag queen that made Connie look foolish on stage.



I saw my other favorite New Orleanians.





Went to Mahony's Sandwich Shop.



Mmmmmm my favorite two letters in the alphabet...




More music...



3-for-1 drinks...




More music.



More food.







Amazing pot roast sandwich.



Amazing final dinner.



Some Abita Strawberries...



Beautiful sunset...



Artichoke, Sun-Dried Tomato and Roasted Garlic Cheesecake
on a bed of basil and spinach chiffonade and olive tapenade...



Shrimp Bisque...



And a Pistachio Crusted Gulf Tuna Loin with Sauce Chasseur with warm beluga lentils, market vegetables and red wine and mushroom veal demi glaze... (love me some VEAL-covered fish)...



Thanks for hosting K & S! Love you long time.
