Marla is a super fun, good hearted fantastic senior and family photographer. Had it not been for a random phone call asking me about producing a promo video, I might not have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with her. Now, watch the promo and get to know her a little yourself! Then go visit her newly revamped website at www.bigshotsbymarla.com and check out her amazing work!

05 JunA beautiful March afternoon
What an absolutely beautiful day for your wedding Carrie. I remember you being a little concerned about the weather in March, but it couldn’t have been nicer! And the way you had Pebble Creek decorated for your reception was just stunning. You both looked so incredibly happy, and were such a pleasure to be with all day. I’m still a few weeks away from finishing your edit, but wanted to share a preview to hold you over!

Jake & Susie, it was such a blessing that day you were sitting in my studio and decided to let me capture your wedding day. What a blast your wedding was… from the stunning stained-glass at the church, to the emotional vows and first kiss, ending with an amazing reception at an amazing venue. I hope the film I create for you reflects how amazing your day was. I’ll be working on it over the next couple of weeks, and can’t wait for you to see it.
In the meantime, here’s a preview of what’s to come!

09 Nov“Jason and I have been stalking your blog everyday!”
Well, stalk no more… it’s here!
Jason & Liz, I feel so honored to have been part of your wedding. It’s funny how such a last minute decision could have turned out so well. Liz, it was such a pleasure to sit with you and your mom that Friday afternoon in the i-do boutique, chatting about your wedding. I’m so glad you decided to get a wedding film, and that you chose me to capture and create it.
The weather looked questionable, but turned out to be an amazing fall day. What a blast it was at Ault Park with your family, wedding party and the rockin’ Chad Moon. As promised, I’m happy to present your Coming Attraction Trailer, a tease of your future wedding film.
Enjoy!
Peace,
Dan
14 Octi-do boutique
If you haven’t heard of the i-do boutique, you should stop by their website at www.i-do-boutique.com. Brigid Horne-Nestor of i-do Weddings and Events envisioned a place that’s beautiful and relaxing, where any bride can stop by and receive complimentary information about different vendor choices in a wide variety of categories, look at photographs, and even listen to or watch demos right there in the boutique.
Brigid only invited a few vendors from each category to be represented in the i-do boutique, and Poetic Cinema has been blessed and honored to be included. It’s truly an honor to me personally and the growth of my business to be included among such talented and respected vendors, by a talented and respected wedding and event planner.
So, please stop by the website at www.i-do-boutique.com, or stop in the boutique itself and check it out! It’s located in O’bryonville at 2009 Madison Road, just a little bit south of Hyde Park.

02 OctElations Testimonial film
Larry was so down-to-earth and fun to talk to. Having the opportunity to hang out with him on the golf course and talk about a product he just loves was so much fun. He used to have knee problems, but that was until he starting using Elations. Pop Design Works contracted me to create a video featuring his story. A video makes a much more powerful statement compared to just reading a text-based testimonial. Watch and see for yourself how Elations helped him improve his life.
