No, I totally was all team team test after this, right and he's like okay, I got to meet for coffee. I'm a national leah and eight months and I'm like, oh, hell no not keeping a secret for a much like thiss gonna happen next because we're no in the long and either shelia so long story short we're here today and I'm tying it backto oprah because your obsession has now convinced me why you liked over so much she said the best adventure you can ever take is to live the life you have dreamed so taft and julia please dream big cheers wait what is it what is it all right and next way are goingto have nick the that man there he is nick hey we're talking a long time but I got something good to eat here I I really can't um few things there there's a there's a few things I'm only at liberty to say so we'll keep it short kind of simple little bit my name's nick castro I've ah known test for the last she's twenty years you had a lot of hair it was sexy too you know it's curly down on my shoulder and I was hot you liked it way actually met each other playing football believe it or not he was a wide receiver I wasn't running back way had about other people out there but we happen to see each other more a little more ii so way ended up being stuck with each other and having to stretch each other out because when you're stretching one of them big tall people and you're like this and their legs way up here and you're like right there crotches it didn't quite work out too well but me and him it was just perfect you know thanks a lot for that made me feel better lost hair over it, though. Um, actually got a couple of actually, I've got one more thing and it's kind of contemplating whether to talk about it, but I got a couple years after that let's just put it that way, cos at that I got introduced to a little bit of alcohol on dh I was the first person to do it, and, uh, he was an interesting person way had a couple of drinks with a bunch of buddies of ours, and, you know, we got him home, and then before I got home, I had this long, I don't know forty minute message of I think I'm dying. There's something going on here, something growing in my belly mention I don't know what teo, you gotta call me something happening, man, I just don't I don't know. So I say it, so I'm laughing and I saved it for, like, six months. It was on those old little tape recorders. You you know, you're popping the little table, I'm going to say, but I flipped it over, is it? This is nick, you know, leave a message after the beef, and then every time he called back over something people call in and they started this but I think I'm dying was going on so that was my message for a couple of times it was great you know but we found out then that he was pretty allergic so ever since then it was over there was there there was no more since then it's been you know little cranberry juice and the olives lots of olives he likes those nice big green fat ones but yeah he's he's been great I mean me and beth we've known each other for so long we just pick up where we left off all the time it's way won't see each other for maybe a year maybe six months something like that sometimes and we'll just call each other and it's like we just weii just saw each other yesterday it was perfect it was it's always been like that he's a great guy eventually a few times she's just she's beautiful I don't know how he hooked her things happen I guess every dog has his day yeah that makes sense that makes sense makes a lot of sense um all I can say is I would like to wish you guys lots of years of happiness and do what you can for each other and uh do your best be there for each other love each other and uh I think and um good luck to you both I love you guys e all right, so now we are going to have a couple words from the bride and groom and then we will be cutting the cake so I was taken away she's my wife, my wife I'm gonna keep this short because megan is actually telling me to keep it pretty short. I just want to say thank you to everybody involved everybody that's online. The other thing is I wantto just say thank you to the creative live crew that's been working eighteen hours I could say, you know, and they're family to me and it was really difficult to figure out if honestly, who would be working and who would have just attend and the fact that, like, ninety percent of everybody's here that just makes everything that much better. Um besides that I love you, you get the last word. Thank you guys, I just want to say that I knew it was going to rain like a week and a half ago and I was really angry and then today I was like, I don't care training at all because the people in the room and here totally overshadowed anything happening, like five feet behind them and and also like my dress a little wet and gray it matches but I really could care less that it's raining, which I would I was not expecting for myself and that's because all of you were here. And that means the world to us. And I just want to say thank you for coming really far. My family lives in an accord. Is so wow. So thank you for coming so far. And even though it's a wet it's so warm in this loving thank you guys so much and please stick around. We have a surprise for you a little later. Now eat some cake. I've got them standing right here and I'm shooting this way. Way. Okay. Rich? Yes, sure. I'm thinking should be a good idea. That is a good idea, right, my right way. Sort of. All right, so so yeah. That's the cake she's on this side. Both hands together. Right? Wait, wait flashes going off. Wait, it doesn't matter way you like it, that's. All right, I would have done it. And I figured a way. Like, all right, everybody, we now we are going to have dessert. Appear are open. We have drinks out on the dance floor. We have lots of fun to be had. Enjoy yourselves and we will have a wonderful as julia mentioned a wonderful surprise coming at about eight. Thirty, so stick around for that, but until then, have a good time.

Joe Buissink, Thank you for share your out of this world wedding photography its be on great,I just love it. I look up to you every day I do a wedding. I have yet to meet you but some day I will. I took conclave in April 2013 and wished you would have been there. My favorite wedding photographer is Denis Reggie which has become a friend I just love his work also. Between you and him both of you I look up to and hope some day I can be as great of a photographer just like the both of you. I just love to be a wedding photographer. Thank you for share such great information and course. Carlos Zaldivar Carlos Zaldivar photographers www.carlos-zaldivar.com

This is one of the more slower-paced courses I have taken on Creative Live. I ended up watching the videos over a span of about 4 months, but enjoyed every moment of it. Watching Joe and Rich work is a beautiful dance. I love Joe's philosophy and he instills a calm spark in all that he does. The way he looks at angles, approaches situation and works with his clients is mesmerizing. I highly recommend this course if you are looking to be inspired by wonderful philosophy and to gain valuable insight through watching a master in action.
