I have blogged quite a bit about our current work but, but it has been since June (Jordan's Everyday Superhero Video) that I have blogged about us personally. We have been extremely busy this wedding season and have been running on adrenaline, so what do we do our first weekend off this summer....invite the my entire extended family to our house for the weekend. No we don't live in a mansion....no I don't have a small family, but they did come from as far as Atlanta, just for the weekend....and there were a total of 19 that stayed with us.
Many families would have stayed at a local hotel....not the Deckrow's, we all slept under the same roof and ate every meal together. We have never been accused of being normal, but we did have a ton of fun, from hanging out....to sitting by the fire....taking in the Midland Fair....jumping on the trampoline....playing the Wii.....late night deep talks....watching the kids play together, it was a weekend to remember, so I couldn't pass up making a short video of the footage I shot from this weekend.
What else happens when the Deckrows get together.....a lot of memories are made and they are all captured with photos and video. With 3 professional photographers and 2 professional videographers in the family our gatherings somewhat resemble the papratzi. However, I was on the receiving end, Renee' & I got our pictures taken by my Sister Sara owner of SMA Photography in Atlanta, so now we have a few new ones for our website, and to some day look back at and see how young and energetic we once were. Thanks Sara for the photo shoot.
Very nice, you guys! You are some of the most talented people I have ever met!

Oh man, that is awesome. Love it. Love it. It's amazing what you can turn raw footage into Aaron. Perfect song selection too, one and only brother. I need a copy for my blog and for our DVD, the kids are watching this so much we are going to burn out a computer!
THANKS AARON & RENEE for a great weekend, delicious food, comfy beds and an all around good time!

Well, I'm pretty sure that if you're looking back on your old picture and thinking that you look older in this one that you are sorely mistaken. You look younger and more energetic...and more handsome and beautiful in this picture for sure...I'm glad you got it updated :) Here's to looking younger and more energetic in 5 to 10 more years! :)
