We're two sisters who are craft book publishers and found ourselves in the midst of an avocado grove. We bought this house where we planned to conduct our publishing business and in the deal got 4 acres of avocado trees thrown in. Now we're not only publishers but ranchers as well! This blog is all about avocados and anything else that strikes my fancy.

Sepia Saturday #140 Super Weddings by Megan


Ah. Weddings. What a great theme for me to shamelessly advertise my daughter's business.

Megan majored in film at Boston's Emerson College and after trying the Hollywood film scene, decided she'd rather do her own thing. So using her love of film and of retro technology she started filming weddings using old super8 cameras and film (yes, real film!) She's turned this idea into a very successful business and travels all over the world filming weddings in that wonderful retro style.

Here she is filming a wedding in Tuscany.





And here's a link to her website where's she's posted a sample of her wedding films. Check them out.

hello super8

You can't tell that I'm proud or anything, can you?

Be a member of the wedding at Sepia Saturday.

    You have every right to be a proud parent. :) I visited your daughter's website and watched her latest film. She's very talented and captured the special moments of the couple's wedding day. How fun to be able to travel all over the world, making a living doing what she enjoys. Just love the vintage look of the film!

    That is a lovely shot of her finding a married couple in the wild. But seriously, how fortunate she is to have found something so unique and interesting to do with her life.

    Of course you have every right to be proud. Super 8 makes me nostalgic as we have a film of our wedding shot in 1975:)
