Rachel and Shad's full length film

This is Rachel and Shad's full length wedding film.  Yesterday I posted their music video, this one also features original music by Shad Blair in the reception portion of the film. It is the acoustic version with backup instrumentals of his "Move on to Tomorrow" song.  Its beautiful and I hope he releases a full version of the song with all the instrumentals soon. Check out yesterday's blog post for the short music video.

Rachel and Shad Blair Music Video

I filmed the wedding of Rachel and Shad Blair at their home in Austin, Texas this past summer. What was unique about their wedding and them as a couple, is that they are both artists. Both creative souls coming together to live a life with each other and grow into the creative beings together. Rachel made every element of the wedding, planted lots of Cacti, made the bowls the cacti were planted in, printed the table runners, the only thing she didn't do was cook the food.  Shad's music is usually filled with heartache and torment, but for the wedding he wrote a song especially for Rachel filled with hope and love. Shad performed it for some friends before the ceremony and  then sang it for Rachel during   the ceremony. Tears filled her eyes but she held it back. You can see the full performance on my next blog post of the full length Documentary Film. "Move on to Tomorrow" written by Shad and performed by Shad in this video.  Here is a link to his website: Shad Blair He performs throughout Texas and goes on tour from time to time. Congratulations to a beautiful life together.

The day was hot, there was a threat of rain, it sprinkled a little but only served to cool off the day. Perfect from beginning to end.

The Burial of Brownie Patterson

Check out my latest art video:

Brownie was very old, maybe even 30 years old. My husband Sky Patterson rode him in a movie, he was also well loved and cared for on Stieler Ranch in his later years. He spent the last couple of years occasionally rounding up Kits cattle with Sky still on his back. Yesterday January 29th, 2013 our niece Brylee spotted Brownie in a field. When my mother in law Becky Patterson called the horse undertaker, he was gentle and carried brownie to a field, buried him, and then pulled out his accordion. It was an impromptu gravesite memorial and it was perfect.
Rest in Peace dear friend Brownie. You definitely had a wonderful life.
