Hearts in Maui

Earlier this month Mindy Weiss of Mindy Weiss Party Consultants (http://www.mindyweiss.com/) mentioned our Heart Sparklers for weddings on her blog. See her original post here: http://www.mindyweiss.com/blog/2010/01/13/you-will-love-how-this-sparkles/

We were just tickled to find out that she then used our Heart Sparklers for a Valentine's Day wedding in Maui! You can see pictures of ALL the details for this gorgeous wedding - and spot our heart sparklers, too! - on her blog. See her post here: http://www.mindyweiss.com/blog/2010/02/18/mauied-in-maui/

Such fun! Thanks again, Mindy!

Straight from the Wedding Photographers Mouth...or Blog!

Some photographers have a love-hate relationship with wedding sparklers...it's true! While they love the opportunity to capture gorgeous moments cast in dramatic lighting, they cringe at a last minute flurry of activity to set the stage for those photographs.

Storybook Wedding Photographer Jacquelyn Parnell and her team based in Tulsa, OK, posted a great suggestion on their blog this week and this beautiful photograph. (Photograph by Kimberly)

Your Heart Will Melt...Another Reason Why We Love Weddings and Sparklers!

This is another great story about sparklers at a wedding that is going to make your heart melt! I found this beautiful picture montage and story posted yesterday on the Blog for Brandi Burkett Photography at http://brandi-burkett.blogspot.com/

Read it and weep! (The sparkler image is second from the bottom, but you mostly see the gorgeous bride & groom beaming with joy!)

"I want to share a sweet moment from this wedding with you. Everyone was gathered outside after the reception waiting to light the sparklers and send A&I off in style. Allison's dad came out, called all of the jovial guests to attention and told us that Allison had been waiting for this moment her whole life. Hello pressure! However I live for moments like these, when I get the opportunity to make something you've only imagined a reality! The guests all did their sparkler waving best and the couple made their big get-a-way. So here's the sweet part. While I was editing the photos from the send-off I noticed Allison's dad standing in the background, looking on with a smile, his sparkler held high over his head long after it had burned out. :)"

Thank you Brandi!
