(i love love debs work!)
and I recently discovered this great site too….
we recently had a wedding featured and our Christmas video made a little cameo too! 
Also we were featured in OUI magazine. A French fashion magazine. Sooo fun to receive a copy and see my work printed big!! teehee!
HERE IS THE LINK: OUI magazine (do not google there is another not so nice magazine with same name!!!!)
Very excited to show you the first wedding video by our good friend and colleague Pancho Colladetti. We now offer wedding videos alongside our photography! Pancho is AMAZING!!! Check it out here:

Also I have had a few people asking about how to make giant heads like here and here .
So here is what we did…
1. Take a few close up images against a plain backdrop.
2. Pick your favourite fun image and grab a giant brush colouring over the top and neck.
3. Rotate and crop as needed.
4. Process how you like it, re-size for print. We did 1m x 1m.
5. Take your files to a large format printer. We recommend getting vinyl prints with the sticky backing. However we un-wisely opted for the high quality print but no sticky back. So we cut out the faces and then glued them to backing board with spray glue. HOWEVER this is a 3 person job and fiddly and the glue did not hold as well as we hoped. SO if you can avoid it, DO!!!
6. Once our boards and pictures were joined and cut to face shape, we gaffa taped some sticks on the back! EASY! and fun!
Let me know if any questions, happy to help!
When you say “take to a large format printer” can you give more info for those of us not in the know ie where do you go to get printed (and also rouch/approximate cost?)
Great idea guys! Awesome pics/video
hi Michele
Sure thing!
Ok here is where I went to get the prints done.

They were FANTASTIC!
I think from memory we paid around $25 ea print. Plus all the glue and boards and sticks!
Thanks Hailey for both the info and interpreting my typos : )
Great price btw was expecting a heck of a lot more
thanks for the kind words! love you…and your work.
can’t wait to meet you in person!!
xo.

congrats on the magazine! I LOVE the video! Sooo wish I had something like that of me & my hubby.. Do you know what the song is? Love it! I always find the greatest music through your blog!
I SO loved this idea. So so gorgeous.
Another cheaper cheat’s option – (I’m not as professional as you!) – is to take a digital photo of everyone holding sticks up to their chins, then cut out different close-up head shots using Adobe software, and paste them digitally on top of the heads in the original photo. The sticks you’re holding will join up with the superimpsed heads.
Thanks everyone…
Ali the song is by these guys… myspace.com/yeahyeahyeahs
MY BIG TIME FAVs.
Tania – yes we thought about this cheaper option and probably would have done if not wanting to do a video of us all being big heads.
I bought the Oui Magazine this month! This was so fun to see your work in it!! Congrats!!!
Great video!!
awesome, and I love the video – you guys completely rock
congratulations on having your video/photos featured, and what a beautiful wedding video! thanks for sharing how you did your big heads, it was an awesome idea
The video is amazing. Seems like a Hollywood wedding to me!
Really inspiring.
Hi!
