Houston wedding professionals welcome Kris Malandruccolo & The Power of Video on Sunday, May 4, 2008.
(click on photos to view larger image). Here are some of the local ABC members, Houston Professional Videographer (HPVA) members and WEVA members.
We gathered on a beautiful, sunny afternoon at the Omni Houston Hotel for networking and for my WEVA Power of Video presentation. Karen Brown, Master Bridal Consultant, and owner of Karen for Your Memories organized the presentation. She and a few of her fellow Houston consultants had seen this presentation at the ABC Florida Fusion last November, and they wanted to share this with area wedding professionals.
Afterwards, Teresa Westberry, Catering Sales Manager for the Omni Houston Hotel gave "hard hat" tours of the new renovations going on. The new ballgroom will have a wonderful, large picture window overlooking the pool area with waterfall.
Here I am with Sandy Buller, President of the HPVA and owner of of Sweet Spirit Productions; and Teresa Westbury. This is a beautiful hotel already and once the renovations are done, this will be an even better place.
We then adjourned out to the foyer area where we had light snacks & cocktails, and even more networking. A bridal consultant joined WEVA after seeing the presentation because she wants to stay current with our industry. One videographer told me "It's better for me if other videographers don't get the importance of networking and coming to meetings like these."
When I left Chicago on Saturday it was in the 50s and raining, but I arrived in Houston to find it sunny and 85 degrees. My time in Houston was short but full of whirlwind fun thanks to my wonderful friends, Steve & Sandy Dial of Minds Eye Film. It was great to share a frajita dinner and margarita's - just what you would expect to have when you come to Texas:0 
After the POV presentation, several HPVA members went out to dinner and we had more fun before I had to get on a plane back home. Thanks everybody for the big ol' Texas welcome!!
