You have to have a rain plan

Mukta and James' ceremony was all set up for the Hotel Monaco's courtyard. And then we had a surprise thunderstorm. Thankfully the hotel staff was top notch and got Plan B into place with lightning speed. We were also able to move the gold chivari chairs quickly, as they were also to be used for dinner. Mukta and James handled the change in good spirits in part because they completed all of their portrait sessions before the rain started.

Smooth Criminal - Cellos!

You can hate the show, I am OK with that. But you can't deny how amazing these cellos are!

Be Prepared

This awesome client had something like 24 boxes of alcohol at the start of their reception. We did not run out. I think I sent them home with about half of it. But they were happy to be prepared!

It's Halftime, America

Here is another breath-taking and brilliant ad from Chrylser (what, you have already forgotten about the goosebump-giving Eminem ad from last year?). Whoever is their ad agency, I want them to be my agency.

Budweiser for the win!

I can't wait for all the new commercials we will see tomorrow night. As I did last year, I will post all of my favorites with commentary.

But when Scott Stratten turned me onto this one a few days early, I had to share it right away. Scott is right - "Budweiser wins the Super Bowl and wins the internet." Every time I watch it, I tear up. It's so great. Talk about a flash mob.
