I Do-the Movie (a short film about the show)

I had the opportunity to take attend the i do show last weekend at the Renaissance Hotel in Portsmouth.

The event was the creation of Michelle Kilgore of Weddings By Michelle.   It was really an amazing show to watch.  Michelle, with the help of  her staff, the hotel staff and many of the top vendors in the area came together to pull off the amazing task of  using an entire re-enactment of a wedding to help give  an audience of brides-to-be some great wedding advise.

I was able to bring a camera and grab some footage of the event.   The following is a short film, or more so, a portrait of the event, it's creators and the attendees.      (note: I was testing out a new camera as well and had some close focus issues on the interviews.  Sorry about that)

Without any further ado, here's  i do.

i do -an event by Michelle Kilgore

I am very excited to be creating a short film about Michelle Kilgore's very interesting  and ambitious event called I Do  next Sunday.   If you are in the area, you really should go to this.  That is,  if there are any tickets left.

It should be quite an experience.  Check it out here.
