Spreading Love on black friday

Liesl worked Black Friday today at JJill

She was missing the kids so I thought I’d send her a little love note of lunch a crystalized ginger chocolate bar and flowers.

Here she is getting all shy, and eying the chocolate bar.

Funny thing about her is that she loves to put herself in the spotlight, but as soon as someone else tries to drop off lunch for her at work she blushes and runs straight for the break room….I chuckle as I love

Send in your love notes and I’ll publish your act or note for everyone!

New Blogger Contest : Multimedia engagement session award!

We are searching for a new bridal blogger!


Blogger contest take two and YouTube version

Blogger talent search contest or YouTube version.

The prize is a free multimedia engagement session by Neil Cowley with a value of $3000. The quest is for a storyteller with heart and humor to tell the stories of wedding planning and engagement from inside their head and out through the web. Submit your journal, blog, video log, or contest entry to the comments here to be considered! Multimedia submissions will definitely score you bonus points!!

What is a multimedia engagement session?

If you are chosen as the new blogger, I will help you design your engagement session and schedule it for as soon as possible.  Your themed shoot will also produce Save the Date Cards, and a Signature Wedding Guestbook.  You will then be responsible for writing 20-30 posts from your engagement and wedding. 

Who else has blogged for you?

Deanna was our first bridal chronicler and you’ll need to be pretty creative to come up with posts as creative as hers!  You can view her multimedia engagement shoot slideshow, her post reflecting on the engagements, her wedding slideshow, and her post reflecting on the wedding experience and journaling/blogging.  Deanna is planning to incorporate some of her reflections in her album design.

The entries will be judged by Neil, Liesl and Deanna on the basis of creative writing, personal presentation and emotional candor.  We are looking for writing style, emotional expression, and humorous visual flair (like Deanna’s barbie page).

How can I blog this, pass on the word, tell my friends?

A note on love…

Liesl and I are proud to present…


Who is Make Love Real? from Neil Cowley on Watch in HD quality on Vimeo.

…the first section of four short films about our business.  We’re totally excited to share these with you over the next couple months as we book new weddings, meet new people and get used to our new home in Charlotte - anyone in the world can meet with us through our site.  A BIG thanks to Andrew Marzano the producer of our series.

I have to dedicate this first video to Liesl, the love of my life - who’s inspired me to such great heights of experience, and such great depths of understanding.

With this post, I’m initiating a new category in the site called ‘Love Note’ where anyone can send in a love note that will be published as a public proclimation for the 5-10,000 people who visit this site every month.  We’re open to any kind of media, and will help you host and present it.  I hope to see us develop this into a little bit of a friendly competion - since my love note to Liesl started with a big production budget - I’m winning!  

But like the old horse says, “when you are real, you can’t be ugly” - so don’t be intimidated, start sending it in!!
