Donaura Wedding Bliss

Brian and I just flew back from good ole Westminster, MD where we watched and captured our good friends, Laura and Donald (hence Donaura), tie the knot. It was a gorgeous fall day -- Halloween, to be exact. The wedding was not at all spooky, but rather Victorian, elegant, spiritual and fun!

Laura looked amazing in her Vera Wang mermaid dress and pink pumps, hair swept to the side, carrying a bouquet of white roses, feathers and lace. Donnie was sharply dressed in a dove gray tux with matching Converse sneakers. Of course, no Halloween wedding is complete without 13 bridesmaids, 7 groomsmen, 3 flower girls and the Thriller dance. It was quite a night! We were so honored that they asked us to photograph the day and share in their love and excitement.

This week is full of rehearsals, shows and filming. Brian and I are both in Acorn Pictures' LIVEworks show this week at the Odyssey Theater. It's an evening onf 7 one-acts and Brian & I are each performing in one. Brian also wrote one of the plays called Sketch (being produced for the second time).

Next Sunday, I'm filming part of the play Waiting for Lefty (by Clifford Odets), which is one of my all-time favorite plays (I did it once in college with Brian!). So I'm stoked to delve into the role again (is that cheesy? oh well.)

I'm also been working on a web-series, both acting and producing, called X-Treme Biography: Santa. It's a mockumentary of how Santa's life goes horribly wrong - I play a bitter feminist elf in his workshop, another one of my dream roles. And I have to say, the ears are the best part. It's written and directed by my friend, commercial director Aaron Priest, so it's definitely going to be a hilarious and extremely offensive piece.
