LDE Featured : Trump Wedding : Every Last Detail

Current Music : Matt Dusk


Anyone who checks in regularly with LDE knows that:

  • I work really long hours and tend to have Pandora playing in my office.
  • I love music. I mean, I absolutely love, love, love music. It's always on. It's on when I'm working in the office; it's on when I get ready to attend an event; it's on when I'm driving to my meetings; it's certainly on during all of my special events + weddings (from set up to break down); it's on when I'm cleaning the house; it's on when I cook; it's even on during the few hours when I sleep. Point made? Think so.
  • I am a sucker for jazz, big band, standards, swing music - yada, yada, yada.
  • I thoroughly enjoy finding new music.
So, when Matt Dusk popped up on Pandora tonight, I seriously did an inner-back flip! He is awesome - very Buble! My favorite song is hands down Back In Town. And I mean favorite like - I LOVE it, like put-it-on-repeat-for-an-hour love it. Great song with a bit of big band, mixed with a little bit of pop, a touch of the standard and a hint of Madonna's "Back In Business" from Dick Tracey - hell ya, I just referenced Dick Tracey, a soundtrack I proudly own and still break out from time to time!

So, Mr. Dusk is the perfect artist to put on your wedding play list. Look him up and enjoy!

Real Wedding: Lisa + Cole, Jupiter Beach Resort



In February, LDE first introduced Lisa + Cole to everyone when I shared their breathtaking engagement session shot on location at Cole's family farm. Well, I am just so proud to now be able to share that their wedding was even more amazing then any one would have ever imagined -- except of course, myself ;-)

Focused on Forever was able to capture all the beauty of this special day and here is a sneak peak of the wedding - the beautiful bride, Lisa and her lily-pop bouquet. SIDE NOTE - this might be the largest, most amazing bouquet LDE's has ever seen!

Check back for more images from Cole + Lisa's special day, or visit Focused on Forever. Or, read all about it in the February issue of Jupiter Magazine, who loved Lisa and Cole's wedding almost as much as we did and they decided to feature it in their upcoming wedding issue - set to hit stands in February of 2012.
