Wedding Video - The Essentials of Planning a Great Event

It's abundantly evident from the following video by Virginia photographer, videographer Josh Gooden that he covered a wonderful event. First off, Gooden's eye for framing, pacing, composition, and storytelling produced a lovely wedding video keepsake that Sara and George, the happy couple, will cherish for a lifetime. Second, the event is at a spectacular natural setting, River Farm, and between breaktaking wild flowers and lovely event spaces, it was an excellent venue choice. Earlier in the video, we see beautiful wedding invitations and wedding printing, there are table settings for the reception that tie in the wildflower theme from the outdoors ceremony, the venue is decorated beautifully, the processional flowers are delightful, the food is presented in a chic way - in short, the key elements that a good wedding planner should take care of are evident in this particular wedding.

    Porcelain Tabletop Collections from Nymphenburg

    Precious heirlooms, fine workmanship, translucent designs, and dazzling beauty - these all describe the porcelain vases, gifts, and tabletop service pieces manufactured by Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg, the fine German porcelain manufacturer started and still continued today by the royal family of Bavaria who still live in part of the beautiful Nymphenburg Palace complex (below).

    Each piece of fine porcelain is still made and painted by hand at Nymphenburg, an over 260-year tradition, and the paste is also made onsite making it a unique manufacturer. Click on each photo below to see some of our favorite tabletop collections from this exquisite company.
