Lauren Lundeen, Miss Oklahoma USA


Her beauty will capture your attention; her personality will capture your heart.

Surrounded by their family & friends, the Lundeen family hosted a send off party at the Cafe Nova in OKC, for their daughter, Lauren Lundeen, the 2012 reigning Miss Oklahoma USA as she prepares to compete for the Miss USA title in Las Vegas.  While Lauren is a beautiful person on the outside, she carries with her an inner beauty that truly radiates.

Lauren’s evening gown from the Oklahoma pageant was on display for the evening along with her crown and some fabulous photos. While Cafe Nova provided some delicious horderves and signature drinks,  Madison’s on Main made some beautiful jeweled cupcakes to celebrate the occasion. Everyone enjoyed a video presentation made by one of Lauren’s friends. Check out all of Kevin Paul Photography’s photos of the evening.

Lauren will represent the great state of Oklahoma in the upcoming Miss USA pageant airing on NBC on June 3rd at 9PM ET LIVE from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Be sure to tune in to cheer for Lauren on her Road to the Crown!

His and Her Dessert Table

May 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment

We thought this was a “sweet” idea for this Fun Friday… a His and Her Dessert Table for a Rehearsal Dinner. The Dessert Table was filled with His & Her favorite sweets from his German chocolate cupcakes to her banana pudding. My favorite were her Chanel cupcakes and his chocolate mustaches were a hit. The Wedding Belle was the designer of this fun concept and even did a cool reveal of this yummy dessert table at the Silo Event Center following their His & Her Dinner. We think everything from Mishelle Handy Cakes will melt in your mouth and this video, well it will have you craving something “Sweet”!

Happy Fun Friday from two sweet tooths ~ Mark + Trisha

Fun Friday In San Antonio, Texas

April 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment

We have been traveling a bit this week deep in the heart of Texas for a Destination Wedding in San Antonio, Texas.
We thought we would share just a few of the sites we have taken in while in this beautiful city with an amazing American history.

Filming weddings, we always seem to gravitate to old churches and cool architecture. Here are a couple of churches along with a bridge on the top right from the San Antonio, Riverwalk.

Probably the one the popular spots in San Antonio…The Alamo, we just loved the gardens here and the live Oak Trees were amazing.

We made a special trip back to the Riverwalk after dark to see the all the lights.

 

We soared to the top of the Tower of the Americas in a glass elevator to catch a glimpse of San Antonio’s city lights.  You can enjoy dinner in the restaurant while it rotates a full 180 degrees every hour. We saw some amazing views up there.

San Antonio was having its Fiesta Celebration and we had a great view of the fireworks from the Tower of the Americas.

We have had a great time seeing the sites in San Antonio. Now, it is off to film Diana & Jeremy’s Destination Wedding weekend.

Here is to a grand weekend! ~Mark + Trisha

Exchanging Gifts On Our Wedding Day

April 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Have you thought about exchanging gifts on your wedding day?

Just after Erin slipped into her wedding gown, her Dad came in with a special delivery from her Groom, Matt. As she opened her gift from Matt, there wasn’t a dry eye in the bride’s room filled with girls in pink dresses. Matt received his gift prior to the ceremony as well and was pleasantly surprised. You will have to watch and see how much of his letter he shared with his buddies.

It doesn’t have to be an elaborate gift shared on the wedding day, but you might consider taking time to write down your thoughts on a card to your future wife or husband…it will be a gift she or he will always treasure. It is also a good idea to let your photographer and videographer know so they can capture these special moments giving you the opportunity to see their reaction. There is just something special about expressing your feelings in writing to the one you love on your wedding day. So start writing your wedding day love letter. ~Mark + Trisha

Remembering Your Wedding Day

April 17, 2012 By 1 Comment

When your Wedding Anniversary rolls around, how will you look back and remember your wedding? The day you committed to love, honor and cherish until death do you part.

Well today is the 2nd Wedding Anniversary of one of our couples Meaghan and Brandon. We flew to New Hampshire to film their wedding at Searles Castle. It was magical.

I hope today they pull out their wedding film and relive their amazing wedding day. I loved the moment when Meaghan’s Dad came in for his first look at Meaghan in her wedding dress. Mark & I cried on that one. Meaghan and Brandon’s first look, the tears of joy that flowed during the ceremony, their personal vows and their introduction into the reception. And there are not enough words to describe how much fun everyone had at their reception.

We especially enjoy watching their wedding film highlight as it shares a beautiful story of their unforgettable wedding day. See and hear their wedding story to be inspired.

Meaghan & Brandon, we wish you a very Happy Anniversary and many more to come!
Thank you for allowing us to capture your wedding day. ~ Mark + Trisha

Oklahoma’s Best Videographer

April 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment

It is Friday! We all love Friday as it is the beginning of the weekend. So we decided to add some fun to our Friday posts entitled Fun Friday.  So stay tuned, we promise to have some Fun Friday posts coming in the weeks ahead.

We had to laugh a bit when this box showed up in the mail this week addressed to Mark Von Lanken,  Oklahoma’s Best Videographer. And it came from Texas! We have protected the identity of the Texas videographer who sent this little package to us.  It isn’t often packages come addressed like this one. But it did make us smile.

Coincidentally, we have filmed weddings in every major city in Texas as well as a few smaller communities except San Antonio. We are headed to San Antonio, Texas next week to capture a beautiful wedding at the Westin La Cantera Resort, so we can now add it to the list. We can’t wait to visit the Texas Hill Country as well as a few other San Antonio favorites.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys life to the fullest! ~Mark + Trisha

Mayo Hotel Wedding with an International Twist

March 19, 2012 By 1 Comment

This Tulsa Wedding at the Mayo Hotel came with a very sweet story of romance. Taylor met Sebastian, an International student from Argentina while attending ORU. While their affection grew and they even shared a long distance relationship for sometime once Sebastian returned to Argentina, but over time, they both decided to end their relationship. Sebastian admitted that a day didn’t pass when he didn’t think of Taylor following their decision. After a eleven months, Sebastian made a trip back to Tulsa to win Taylor over for good. Taylor later moved to Argentina to see how life would be if they chose to marry. Well, she said yes and so the journey to their wedding days began.

To be legally married in both countries, they have to have four wedding ceremonies. Sebastian’s Father a pastor in Argentina could not legally marry them in the states, so they had a civil ceremony to make it USA legal. So along with an interpreter, his Father married them in Tulsa at the Mayo Hotel. In Argentina, you must have a civil ceremony as the government does not recognize a church ceremony. With Sebastian’s father being a pastor of a large church in Argentina, they will also have a church ceremony there as well. They should know their vows by heart.

It was truly a pleasure capturing their Tulsa Wedding. As they begin this adventue called marriage, we pray that they continue to grow in love with one another and with God who brought them together. ~Mark + Trisha

Every wedding has a sweet story to tell, what will your story be? Check out their wedding highlight below.
