Villa Zorayda Wedding
This video made history. Alicia and John were the first-ever bride and groom to tie the knot in the Villa Zorayda. This recently restored spanish-style castle nicely complimented Alicia's gown, purchased in Spain. Their decision to include video was a must because Alicia's father could not attend the ceremony. The inclusion of a three-piece orchestra was in honor of Alicia's father and his love of classical music. Knowing this, I dedicated a camera just to record the music. Later in editing, I had a clean audio recording that, when combined with several beauty shots of the castle made for an impressive introduction. I was hired on extremely short notice (the day prior) and only for two hours. Because I was a television news cameraman for so long, I knew how to efficiently gather a lot of footage quickly. Alicia and John complimented me several times on my thoroughness and professionalism. They received a very well shot and cleanly edited video for just $400.00. The total running time was about thirty-five minutes.

Tour of Lightner Museum & Alcazar Hotel - St Augustine - June 15, 2012
This tour was part of the 2012 Cadillac LaSalle Grand National held in St Augustine Florida.
Opened in 1889 with its huge indoor pool with retractable roof, casino, spa, movie theatre, and all the amenities of a premier luxury hotel, Henry Flagler's Alcazar Hotel was truly a majestic hotel. Turned into a museum by Chicago publisher Otto C. Lightner in 1948 and donated to the city, this is a must see site if you visit St Augustine. I also recommend reading about its fascinating history at the following Wikipedia link: wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightner_Museum . A highlight for me was having lunch in the café that was once the swimming pool. They have converted the side areas into shops and can see the slope of the pool walls.
