 McLellan Style Vintage Cinema: Bonnie & Daniel’s Vaudeville Wedding Jan, 31 2010 by Sean 

Mel and I have been so excited about this wedding ever since we first met with Bonnie & Daniel and they told us they were planning on going all out with a vaudeville/steampunk inspired theme!

We speak quite a bit about trying to be unique, do something different, push the limits.  As soon as Bonnie & Daniel shared their ideas with us, we immediately started thinking of what we could do for unique display pieces and unique ways to share their wedding imagery with their friends and family.  One of the display ideas we came up with is a new take on the “McLellan Style Vintage Cinema” stop-motion montage we posted a couple of years ago and we’re so excited about how it turned out!

One really great thing about the wedding was that Bonnie & Daniel were able to get all their guests into the theme as well!  Between them dressing for the turn of the century period, most of their guests dressing for the period, and the perfect venues they chose (Union Station Hotel and Cannery Ballroom) it all came together to create something really beautiful.

When we finished, we couldn’t wait to share it with Bonnie & Daniel!  We did this three months ago and they told us they were going to surprise their friends and family with it as a group over New Years. We didn’t want to spoil it so we’ve been waiting to post it publicly until now.

Make sure your sound is turned up!

Thanks for looking–and thank you Bonnie & Daniel for going all out, and getting your friends and family involved!
