Simply Brilliant!Reviewed on 7/19/2015 Lynne W
I loved my experience at Brilliant Bridal! I stopped by while visiting Mesa soon after I was engaged. They couldn't fit me in that day but gave me 10% off my gown when I returned later. The staff treated me so well, and I found my perfect dress! I continue to recommend and have... Read More recommended Brilliant Bridal to anyone. I would like to note that Brilliant Bridal doesn't do alterations. I went to their most recommended seamstress and took my business elsewhere. She wouldn't listen to what I wanted and was a bit unkind. (I wrote a separate review for her.) So, Brilliant Bridal is wonderful, but choose your seamstress carefully.
Had a fabulous experience with Jay at the Thunderbird location of Brilliant Bridal! I spent 3 hours the first time I visited while Jay pulled dresses and I saw what all types of styles looked like on my body. My 2nd visit my friends and relatives came to help me decide between... Read More my favorites but once again Jay pulled a few extra dresses and I found the perfect dress! From start to finish I felt like a princess , I would highly recommend Brilliant Bridal at 4233 W Thunderbird.
This salon took me last minute when another salon had been so horrible and rude to me and my family. I found my designer dream dress for 1300 originally 1800 right away. I was impressed with their professionalism and shared excitement in my big day! The ladies treated me like a... Read More princess and made sure I left feeling satisfied! Make this your one and only stop!
Thank you Brilliant Bridal MesaReviewed on 11/05/2015 Lindsay L
I had a wonderful experience at Brilliant Bridal! My dress consultant was so friendly and helpful! I got a beautiful, lace designer gown for a really good price. I would recommend Brilliant Bridal to anyone.
great salonReviewed on 10/30/2015 Marina B
went there shea went over everything with me picked out some dresses fell in love with the first one, used there seamtress she was amazing however she had to fix all the buttons in the back because they kept falling off, but in the end i loved it!
The BEST!Reviewed on 10/19/2015 anna r
I first met the women at Brilliant Bridal during a freak out moment. They told me I was welcome to come in without an appointment and look around but that most of their dresses were at an expo. I busted over the expo and found the DRESS OF MY DREAMS at the expo price. They... Read More could have let me come back at my scheduled appointment and not told me about the expo. After I bought my dress they said to keep my existing appointment to come in and "get jacked up" in the salon and try on all the jewelry and everything. I had the best time at my appointment and the best experience with Brilliant Bridal. I dealt with employees from both Mesa and Phoenix and they were both spectacular!
Before Brilliant Bridal, gown shopping had brought me a ton of stress, and even an anxiety attack. I walked into Brilliant Bridal, explained to Debra what I was looking for, and she knew exactly what I was envisioning! The first dress she had me try on was the one! Everyone... Read More there was so nice, and Debra was amazing! I highly recommend BB to any bride. It was so relaxing and the prices were phenomenal! Thank you so much, ladies, for helping me find the dress of my dreams to marry to man of my dreams! ♡
Amazing Selection and Service!Reviewed on 6/29/2015 Lauren
Brilliant Bridal was my last stop for finding a wedding gown and I wish it had been my first! Brilliant Bridal offered such a great selection of gowns and accessories. The staff was eager to help and my dressing room attendant was the best! In fact, she ended up selecting... Read More "the dress!" I was so happy with the cost and quality. I even returned to this store to have my alteration done as well. Brilliant Bridal was such a positive experience and I would recommend this store to any bride on a budget!
Thank you so much MacKenzie for helping me! I spent almost 3 hours there and I found the one! I loved being able to go through the dresses and pick out which I wanted to try on. I had been to another shop where they didn't like that (which is understandable because they have... Read More an inventory system and if you put it away wrong it would mess up their system). My mom and grandma were late but I found a good 12 dresses to try. They were patient even though my mom and I argued about dresses at one point (it had been an issue of her wanting more bling and me trying to explain that I really hated it it and I wasn't the little girl who loved that anymore). I narrowed it to two and was indecisive. I was about to send pics to my best friend and cousin in LA who couldn't be there (MacKenzie offered me Skype with their ipad!). she even got me in a dress for the third time to take better pics. Instead I cried when my grandmother realized it was the one I really wanted, my wonderful consultant had kleenex ready. While they don't do alterations at their phoenix location they sent me recommendations for who can. Never once did I feel rushed. There were private rooms to change. And they have two areas for brides and their parties in their small shop. I got a dress at a great deal (most of their dresses were in great shape! remember it is off rack ladies.) And wonderful customer service. I even asked my consultant which she liked best but she said she didn't want to sway my opinion. After it was all paid for she looked at me and said you bought the one I would have chosen for you! For a place that most likely pays on commission, that is great customer service and just plain great ethics :)
Pleasure to work withReviewed on 4/19/2015 Heather S
That total cost of 655 included my dress purchase, the fitting, and the steaming (these are all separate bills--heads up ladies). This place is stellar. I found a dress for under $500, which I was aiming for but doubtful of. The lady who helped was insanely sweet and the... Read More dress I chose was one she picked up!! So happy with them. They had a list of seamstresses that they partner with so I went that route! Easy. I just seriously loved my dress. Brilliant Bridal was easy to work with. Sweet ladies and nice little boutique. I was happily surprised with my results and high quality service.
Found my DREAM dress!!Reviewed on 3/31/2015 Kim R
This was the first appointment with my mom and we were really excited to pick out some dresses for me to try on. The staff were super friendly as soon as we walked in and Debra made us feel comfortable and relaxed. I was able to pick out 4 or 5 dresses that I liked and give them... Read More a try. Debra even picked one out for me based on my style and fitting. First of all, the dress did not look as pleasing on the rack but once I tried it on, I KNEW it was the one! She did such a fabulous job listening to what I wanted and in the end, I said YES to my Dress!
Not What I ExpectedReviewed on 1/26/2015 olivia g
I booked my appointment months in advance at the East Valley location since my family and I would be taking a 2 hour drive to get there. Upon arrival we were asked to wait for half an hour and when I did get helped I was taken to a small room with a couch and asked if I would be... Read More comfortable undressing in front of my party of 6. Of course I was not. After that the person helping me handed me some colored clothespins and asked me to pick dresses to try on. I was disappointed since we could have been doing that all the time we had been waiting and upon placing my appointment I had completed a questionnaire with details in regards to the type of gown I was looking to buy and how many people would be joining me. Not sure why because it was obvious they made no effort to accommodate me. The person who helped me mentioned they were really busy and she appeared rushed and made me feel like I needed to speed things up. She would tell me she would be waiting outside the door every time I tried on a dress but then would disappear. She also did not know hot to properly tie a corset. The worst part was I had to walk past the front entrance through the people in the waiting area all the way to a separate viewing room every time I tried on a dress. I even dodged a customer who almost spilled Starbucks on my dress at one point. Even though 3 out of the 4 dresses I tried on had stains and tears. I ended up purchasing a lovely dress that needs a few repairs. Two of the loops on the corset and some of the beading needs some work. I had planned to buy a veil but she never suggested nor gave me the opportunity to try one on. When I mentioned it to the cashier she said I could come back. Not sure if I want to take a 2 hour drive out to try on veils anytime soon. Also, when I was paying one of the employees mentioned there was a no show and she mentioned my name. Talk about making your customers feel special. I would not recommend this place. I am very disappointed.
Amazing Service and SelectionReviewed on 1/25/2015 Shelby J
I bought my dress there. They were so easy to work with, they let you take the dress that day if you purchase it and you can Skype or take photos and send them to people who aren't able to make the appointment like bridesmaids, grandmothers, future in laws. I was impressed and... Read More got my gorgeous super expensive dress at a price I could afford. I also got a sash, veil and was able to do my alterations in the store with Jennifer via appointment.
Knowledgeable and FriendlyReviewed on 1/11/2015 Laura D
I had a wonderful dress shopping experience at Brilliant Bridal today! Kendra was my bridal consultant and she was so sweet! She made me feel comfortable, was honest, and willing to go above and beyond. The front desk and other consultant were very personable and helpful as... Read More well! Brilliant Bridal was my first and last wedding dress shopping experience; I found my dream dress in about an hour! So thankful for these wonderful ladies! A must visit for brides! :)
If it fits, SO worth it!Reviewed on 1/08/2015 Carolien S
After trying on many dresses at David's Bridal and Group USA, I knew more or less how I wanted my dress to look, but didn't want to pay $1000 or more. Brilliant Bridal's dresses have never been down the aisle and they're significantly discounted. The helpful, not-pushy... Read More saleswoman helped me find two amazing dresses that fit my dream dress description and picked the one that made me feel more like a princess, and it cost me only around $370. The best part is that it fit me like a glove. I didn't need to alter the length or the size, which saved me lots of money. I do have to add that there was a missing hook on the back zipper, and the cloth covering the zipper had to be patched into place, about $30 to the seamstress. All things considered, my gorgeous dress was a steal.
What a lovely experience...Reviewed on 12/30/2014
After popping in on a busy Saturday afternoon and not being able to be seen, I rescheduled for the following Monday with these lovely ladies. My stylist's name was Tiffany--ask for her!! She made me feel comfortable and relaxed and was so very helpful!! She was friendly and... Read More honest and gave me and the family I brought with me all the attention we needed. After trying on several dresses, I finally found the one I loved! I bought it that day--and I got a 10% discount for rescheduling. I would HIGHLY recommend this boutique to any bride.
Hands down best bridal shop in Phoenix!!Reviewed on 12/28/2014 Gina K
All I can say is WOW!! Brilliant Bridal is the best wedding dress boutique I have had the pleasure to step into! Since having an extremely unpleasant experience after purchasing a dress from David's Bridal I was so apprehensive to try on dresses again since my $1500 rip off from... Read More David's didn't pan out.From the moment I stepped in, the girls at Brilliant Bridal gave me the warmest welcome I have ever received in a store, let alone a bridal store. I felt like I was on an episode of Say Yes to the Dress, lol! I had the pleasure of working with Alli, a.k.a. "Bad Ass Bridal Consultant", who was phenomenal from start to end. She stayed within my budget, never tried to pressure me, and made me feel like the most beautiful bride. Besides staying in budget, Alli was respectful at the fact that I am a plus size bride and never made me feel like my size was an issue, just that I was comfortable in what I put on. So I want to say THANK YOU so much for giving me my bridal moment, I thought it could never happen and I am so overwhelmed with happiness that I found my dress! To all my little Bridal Elves at Brilliant Bridal and Badass Consultant, Alli you are amazing and I promise I will send pics from my big day! You have made me and my family customers for life for all our future brides!! To everyone looking for an affordable, yet beautiful gown Brilliant Bridal at 43rd Ave & Thunderbird is hands down the best bridal shop in town!!

FINALLY a great experience!!! Ask for Ari!!!Reviewed on 9/27/2014 Alexis M
Ari was my consultant today when me and 2 of my bridesmaids walked into Brilliant Bridal without an appointment. This is the 4th time I was trying on dresses and (to be honest, I bought a dress somewhere else about a month ago that I'm just not crazy about) Ari really went out... Read More of her way to help me tie corsets and bring more dresses in my size that we didn't see AND were still in my price range! When I finally had maybe 15 dresses narrowed down to 2, she encouraged me to try the 2 on again. To take my time and make sure that it was what I truly loved. She held one up over the other since they were the same style and when she dropped it, I knew exactly which dress to choose! Now I'm not a sappy person and I never thought that I'd cry over the dress thing, but it was hard to hold back the tears when you find THE ONE. My experience here was AMAZING and my consultant really made this experience extraordinary for not only me, but the 2 girls I brought with! HUGE THANK YOU TO ARI!!!!!
Dress Shopping Made Easy!Reviewed on 8/25/2014 Maggie B

Best wedding dress shopping experience I could desire!!Reviewed on 5/28/2014 Teresa T
I scheduled my appoint with Brilliant Bridal online and received an email confirmation soon after. I went with my mom, 2 sisters, and roommate to their East Valley location. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and began looking at their clearance rack dresses. We began... Read More setting some aside and the lady helping us put them in the fitting room. I have to say that the lady assisting me was the kindest and most helpful person I could imagine. She paid attention to comments I made and was full of suggestions as to how I could find my perfect wedding dress! I tried on each dress and she helped my clip it up in the back so I could go show my crew! It was a lot of fun and so crazy to see myself in a wedding dress! The other AMAZING thing about Brilliant Bridal is their super low prices for great quality dresses!! I ended up spending $250 which is what I wanted to spend and got a beautiful dress that was originally $1009! I HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone looking for a reasonably priced dress and want a one stop shop! The AWESOME staff made everything SO easy!! Thank you, Brilliant Bridal!!

Editor's note: The following is excerpted from Climate Shock (2015) by Gernot Wagner, Lead Senior Economist, Environmental Defense Fund, and Martin L. Weitzman, Professor of Economics, Harvard University. Published here with permission from Princeton University Press.
Do you think climate change is an urgent problem?
Do you think getting the world off fossil fuels is difficult?
If you answered "Yes" to both of these questions, welcome. You'll nod along, occasionally even cheer, while reading on. You'll feel reaffirmed.
You are also in the minority. The vast majority of people answer "Yes" to one or the other question, but not both.
If you answered "Yes" only to the first question, you probably think of yourself as a committed environmentalist. You may think climate change is the issue facing society. It's bad. It's worse than most of us think. It's hitting home already, and it will strike us with full force. We should be pulling out all the stops: solar panels, bike lanes, the whole lot.
You're right, in part. Climate change is an urgent problem. But you're fooling yourself if you think getting off fossil fuels will be simple. It will be one of the most difficult challenges modern civilization has ever faced, and it will require the most sustained, well-managed, globally cooperative effort the human species has ever mounted.
If you answered "Yes" only to the second question, chances are you don't think climate change is the defining problem of our generation. That doesn't necessarily mean you're a "skeptic" or "denier" of the underlying scientific evidence; you may still think global warming is worthy of our attention. But realism dictates that we can't stop life as we know it to mitigate a problem that'll take decades or centuries to show its full force. Look, some people are suffering right now because of lack of energy. And whatever the United States, Europe or other high emitters do to rein in their energy consumption will be nullified by China, India and the rest catching up with the rich world's standard of living. You know there are trade-offs. You also know that solar panels and bike lanes alone won't do.
You, too, are right, but none of that makes climate change any less of a problem. The long lead time for solutions and the complex global web of players are precisely why we must act decisively, today. Read more

I had no idea this was still alive :O
It's here, at long last! PvM 0.85 is on its way with bug fixes galore.
Posted by Mogenar on Jun 19th, 2012
Yep, you heard that right: PvM is here!
If you missed out on 0.80, don't worry: 0.85 contains a large number of bug fixes, both functional and cosmetic. Major thanks to AlanQuartermain and interceptor66 for reporting bugs; you guys really helped us a lot in making 0.85 a much more stable, bugless release. I'm finding kind of hard to believe that, almost three years after this project started, we're now seeing a major public release.
So, what's in store? Expect some more factions and possibly other features in the near future. I can't say much more :p.
I had no idea this was still alive :O
yeah, no kidding I thought it was dead too.
What can I say? We're a determined little bunch =D
well that's a good thing.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Kelly is astonishing! She is an old friend of mine, but that doesn't have any bearing on my opinion that she and her photography are simply incredible! Kelly is cheerful, supportive, tireless, creative and highly skilled, and we have the photos to prove it.
As soon as my now-husband and I decided to get married, I knew there was no one other than Kelly I could imagine capturing our day. I showed him Kelly's online galleries and he agreed. The photos from our engagement session were gorgeous (and the session was so much fun -- Kelly was unstoppable, even though it was the crack of dawn and freezing outside). Our engagement photos made us even more excited to have Kelly photograph our wedding.
In the leadup to our wedding, Kelly and her assistant, Meg, made it easy to communicate and plan to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. They also provided helpful advice. On our wedding day, Kelly showed up early (and with her equally awesome wife, Natalie) and was fast, unobtrusive and totally helpful. The portraiture and group shots were done quickly, and Kelly also found me later in the reception to check in and see if there was anything/anyone else we wanted photos with.
Our pictures are gorgeous and we received them so quickly! We've looked at them a million times and are impressed every single time we look at them. Thank you, Kelly, Natalie and Meg!
My beautiful wife Theresa and I are a couple from New Zealand who travelled to New York to Elope in Central Park in September this year. Through reviews like this one we picked our incredible vendor team, so I feel it is so important for me to say that hiring Kelly Prizel as our wedding photographer was the best decision I made second only to marrying my wife. I found Kelly through her website 3 years ago and contacted her and continued to stay in contact over the years so I could 100% confirm that I could have her as our wedding photographer. Her responses were quick, clear and full of information. On the day Kelly was brilliant - she was stealthy, spontaneous and so much fun. Our guests loved her bubbly personality and her calming presence was ideal for us. Kelly is a true artist. She got us into all sorts of places and positions which ultimately paid off - the images are incredible, more incredible than we could have imagined. We are so grateful Kelly took us on board and we would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I found Kelly two years before even being engaged because I ran into a beautiful wedding picture on the internet and it happened to be hers (of course!). I knew since then that if and when I got married, Kelly would be our photographer - even though, yes she was in CT and we were in PA. We loved Kelly from our initial meeting via Skype - she is organized, professional, creative and all around a great person to work with. Kelly has a perfect timeline that explains what happens when and on the day of the wedding she helped us not worry about the actual times and events (she took my phone and watch away :). We simply cannot say enough about what a great experience working with Kelly was. Our multicultural, multiple faiths, bi-lingual, gay wedding was beautifully documented and we will be looking for opportunities/occasions to work with her again soon!
Working with Kelly was an absolute dream. She had tons of new ways of shooting. She thought outside of the box and completely rocked it. She is punctual, courteous, and completely professional. I am so glad she was part of my special day to document it and proud to be a subject of her artwork. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!
I can't say enough great things about Kelly. First, she's just great to be around: sunny, fun, full of energy. This came in handy because I usually hate having my picture taken, but she made it a blast. Moreover, she's totally professional. She knew exactly how to manage folks at my wedding so they moved where they should be without even knowing they were being moved!
And most important, her photos are fantastic. Absolutely beautiful. Unlike anything I've seen from any other wedding photographer. You can totally tell her background is in fine art photography. I actually asked her to travel to my wedding in PA because her work is so original, and it was totally worth it. She captured the most wonderful images from our wedding. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Kelly...I just can't say enough. She is a great photographer. She goes out of her way to capture the right photos and create your memories. It was a wonderful pleasure to work with her and her wife.
If I could give Kelly 10 stars, I would. While her pictures speak for themselves, we decided to work with Kelly because she was so energetic, positive, and professional. My now husband is not a fan of having photos taken, but he was having a blast before he knew it, because of her warmth and ability to connect with people and make them feel comfortable.
Lastly, Kelly goes above and beyond what is expected of her, as a photographer. For example, she has shared stories of doing extra sessions with clients who are particularly nervous. In our case, because of a flash issue she was not able to capture an important detail so she later came to our house to take extra photos. I highly recommend her!!
My husband and I are wedding photographers, so, of course, photography was one of our biggest concerns in planning our own wedding. We couldn't be happier with chosing to have Kelly shoot our wedding.
Not only is she just plain talented (seriously, check out her work. It's beautiful!) but she is a great business woman. She was very easy to work with, and she is upfront about her prices and policies from the begining, something we both really appreciate in a vendor!
On top of all that, she really went the extra mile for us. We were married in New York City two days after hurricane Sandy! Our wedding planning turned chaotic when we realized most everything would have to be re-planned because of the storm. We weren't even sure Kelly would be able to make it, because the bridges were still closed! Not only did Kelly make it, she got to our venue before us, because she left at 4am to make sure she could get to us in time. She stayed from us getting ready into our reception, getting photos the whole time. She was good at being very direct to get the shot she needed without ever seeming bossy or overbearing, and his parents assumed she was a very talented friend who'd agreed to shoot our wedding. They couldn't believe that our wedding was only the third time we'd met Kelly in person!
As for the photos, which are the most important part of hiring a photographer, we were SO happy! There's a photo of us we didn't even know she took, when we ducked out to take a walk around the block just after our ceremony, that hits us every time we see it. There is so much emotion, and it looks like a peice of artwork. And all of the photos were great. We had a very small wedding (13 people) and used the photos to show all those who weren't there what it was like. One day, we'll show the photos to our baby nephews and future kids. She captured exactly what it looked like and just how joyful it felt.
Kelly is awesome, and we would give her 50 stars if we could!
I couldn't say enough wonderful things about Kelly and Natalie. Kelly's images speak for themselves. She has an amazing eye and her attention to detail is amazing. But, she also has a knack for bringing people out of their shells and seeing beyond the ordinary. We heart this team so much! Our engagement photos were spectacular, and we can't wait to see our wedding photos.
Kelly was a central part of why our wedding turned out so magical. From the beginning she was like a photographer/wedding planner/friend, offering much needed guidance, advice, reassurance and sanity as we navigated the confusing waters of wedding planning. She was always so friendly, funny, smart and creative, it was a joy to work with her, and we felt like we really connected as soon as we met.
She is super organized and professional, and created a detailed document outlining the schedule for the day, down to the minute, that we relied on as our bible leading up to the wedding. On the day of, she was so on top of things I felt like I could relax knowing I was in capable hands. Because of her quick thinking and artistic talent, she got us into place just as a gorgeous antique train was pulling in, and the photos came out amazingly. When we saw our finished shots, I cried because they were so beautiful. It takes a really talented person to see what is most important about a couple and their family and somehow encapsulate that in photos. That's exactly what Kelly did. We will treasure our pictures forever, as well as our time working with Kelly. Thank you, Kelly!
I could not be happier with Kelly Prizel! From the very first conversation, Kelly was a joy to work with. She has a great sense of humor, a fabulous eye and a sincere interest in making sure that your wedding and engagement photos tell the story of your love. She is easy to work with, flexible and worth every penny!
Title: Memories Caught to Last a Lifetime!
Kelly Prizel Photography does amazing work. Kelly works with couples throughout the entire wedding process helping to alleviate all fears, etc. She also helped us to establish a timeline to follow. This helped us tremendously because we planned our entire wedding without the help of a wedding planner. Kelly's photos are one of a kind. She captures real life moments you will want to look back on for years to come. She floats around and gets the coolest angles in terms of the variety of shots. Most of the time you don't even know she's there. She makes you feel like your wedding is the best she has ever worked at and she truly enjoys her job. She puts couples as easy with her quirky, down to earth personality. She has done both same-sex and heterosexual weddings; excelling at both without question. She comes with my highest recommendation. Truly worth every single penny.
Wow, just wow! Kelly is just simply amazing!! We've never met anyone who was as warm, bubbly, and excited about her job! Kelly loves her line and work and it was an honor to be around someone so passionate and caring. Pictures last forever and you want a product that you cherish forever. Kelly delivers that product while entertaining you the entire time! Kelly is so AWESOME and we're grateful to have had the chance to work for her--in fact, we already miss her :( You can't go wrong with Kelly, we promise!!!!
Kelly is simply AMAZING. I don't even know what else to say. Her friendly, quirky, relatable personality put us instantly at ease which helped us be relaxed and comfortable for engagement and wedding photos. It felt like having a good friend around, so we were natural and relaxed. Kelly's artistic eye is incredible, but at the same time, the photos are more about YOU than about showcasing her style and talent. Our photos are gorgeous and everything we wanted. Kelly was great at guiding us where we needed advice while pulling from us our own preferences and wishes. I can't recommend her enough.
Kelly Prizel is and was - without a shadow of a doubt - a highlight of our wedding day and entire wedding experience. My wife and I started planning our wedding only five months prior to the big day. We had a window of time, and we wanted to make it work! Thankfully, we scheduled our nuptials on a Tuesday, and thankfully, Kelly was available!
From our Skype interview to swapped e-mails, Kelly was fun, light-hearted, professional, and SO HELPFUL. She was helpful about photography stuff AND about small wedding stuff. Most of our wedding was DIY, and we certainly didn't have a planner (yours truly acted in that role), so her advice was invaluable.
Kelly and her wife, Natalie, shot our wedding on an overcast day on Lake Champlain in Burlington, VT. They made us laugh, calmed our nerves, and helped us feel relaxed for photos we would look at for years to come. Kelly captured some of the most amazing moments that are *so perfect* for us to cherish. They show me being silly and Janet being sweet; and that's us. By the end of the night, I was ready to pack Kelly and Natalie in our bags and haul them with us to Hawaii and then back to Atlanta!
We cannot say enough good things about Kelly Prizel Photography. If I had one complaint it would be that Kelly and Natalie live too far away to grab coffee or lunch with on a regular basis!
Kelly is THE BEST! Seriously, she was my favorite vendor and I just loved working with her throughout the entire planning process and having her and her wife Natalie around me on my wedding day. I was actually kind pretty excited for my friends and family to meet Kelly after I'd spent months describing her to everyone around me as "the most excited person I've ever met." Kelly's just genuinely loves people and weddings and that effect is contagious. I think there were definitely times while I was planning the wedding that she was more excited about it than I was, even!
We had one engagement shoot with Kelly about 9 months before the wedding, which was a lot of fun and gave us several creative images to use for our save-the-date postcard. Kelly then went above and beyond and had an extra "warm-up" photo shoot a few months closer to the wedding since we'd talked a lot about how my husband and I weren't really that comfortable in front of a camera still. It's almost funny how much more relaxed we look in the later photos.
On the day of, Kelly's arrival to the room I was getting ready in with my bridesmaids was a godsend as we ended up raiding her kit for supplies to finish the pinwheel bouquets (fashion tape can in fact be used as regular tape). All my bridesmaids loved her as well and when we were taking the group shots, nobody minded at all when she firmly but politely asked some others to stop taking photos of the group at the same time since it was making people look in different directions. She was never intrusive during the actual happening of the wedding, just snapping away and always moving moving moving to capture everything.
We got a preview of photos just a few weeks after the wedding, which already contained a ton of photos that I really loved, and then the full set less than 2 months afterwards. Looking through the 500+ photos made me love my wedding more than I had, particularly since it's rather hazy in my own memory.
I'm now talking my husband into ordering a wedding album with Kelly since our initial package didn't include one, partly just so that we can continue working with her. I hope to do family portrait sessions with her in future years as well!

Suggested Reading List
Far Appalachia: Following the River North
Author: Noah Adams
Description: With his sharp eye and gentle wit, Noah Adams doesn't just tell stories, he lets them unfold quietly, powerfully, and eloquently. Now the beloved host of NPR's All Things Considered and bestselling author of Piano Lessons takes us on a river journey through the heart of Appalachia--a journey shared by pioneers and preachers, white-water daredevils, bluegrass musicians, and an unforgettable cast of vivid historical characters. Noah Adams has Appalachia in his blood. A native of eastern Kentucky, he comes to the headwaters of the New River not just in search of adventure but to better understand his own unique heritage. Following the New River from its mile-high source on North Carolina's Snake Mountain to its West Virginia mouth, Adams travels by Jeep and by bicycle, by foot and, most thrillingly, by white-water raft to explore the history, natural beauty, and fascinating characters waiting around every bend and turn. Distilling history from legend, Adams tells of men and women whose lives crossed the New River before him: Daniel Boone, fleeing his farming family in search of wilderness; Cherokee Indians driven west on their Trail of Tears; and the ill-fated men who traveled thousands of miles to work on the Hawk's Nest Tunnel, making a fortune for a company while their lungs filled with deadly silica dust. And along the way Adams follows the echoes of his own distant heritage, interweaving his river journey through Appalachia with yet another voyage, thousands of miles away. With eloquence and compassion, Noah Adams paints a luminous portrait of a land and a people as richly vital and complex as America itself. At the same time, his quietly personal chronicle captures the sheer magic of the flowing waters: their sound, their eddies, their utter unpredictability. A vibrant and unforgettable read, Far Appalachia mesmerizes and haunts like the bluegrass music that still rings through the mountains and valleys in which it was born.
Follow the River
Author: James Alexander Thom
Description: Mary Ingles was twenty-three, married, and pregnant, when Shawnee Indians invaded her peaceful Virginia settlement, killed the men and women, then took her captive. For months, she lived with them, unbroken, until she escaped, and followed a thousand mile trail to freedom--an extraordinary story of a pioneer woman who risked her life to return to her people.

The Birthday Massacre have utilized the Internet throughout their career and are an example of a musical group that's evolved alongside File sharing, and advancements in audio streaming capabilities. Initially the band distributed their music for free, using music sharing software Napster, in addition to sharing their music on MP3.com and their official websites. The band was active in updating their websites regularly, interacting with fans on their forum, and offering their site in multiple languages like French, German and Japanese. Early on the band encouraged fans to create their own content, and consequently the band saw a surge in fan-created content, which they organized on a webring called Violetprison.com, posting in 2003; "We want our fans to contribute and be involved so rather than telling new comers who we are, we would rather our fans tell you." [79]
When asked about how the band uses the Internet, Rainbow stated in a 2009 interview: "It's also a way to you know, not just present the music, but make an environment, a visual environment around the music, which was something we were really interested in."[80] When asked about File sharing, Chibi said in a 2010 interview: "It's like the best friend of a band when you're starting up...But then, it's like the worst enemy...The Internet can take you so far."[81] Michael Falcore also stated in a 2010 interview: "File sharing...once its released, people start downloading for free and not paying for it, you know - it hurts the artist."[82] The band has continued to remain popular for over a decade despite receiving very little mainstream press or radio play, referring to themselves as the "Black sheep" of the Canadian scene.

I hate mazes that are single find the end. You need to find the end of 4 layers, then get out of the maze.
Well, i have been Mapping Warcraft 3 for about 4 years. I founded 'ShadowNasta Productions' with a good friend of mine, Tiranasta, about 2 years ago, ever since we have been working on advancing ShadowNasta Productions to separate from the Warcraft 3 Industry and start up an Indie company.
I hate mazes that are single find the end. You need to find the end of 4 layers, then get out of the maze.
Funny enough, i've never seen it.
Basically, this maze is simple in design, but is very complex.
An Updated version of this Demo is released on both EU and NA.
You never know, but i'm trying to make it Non-Fighting...
Thank you JackFox!
Also on EU now..
The Map is on NA and SEA servers, have a play!
'A Haunting Demo TEST'
Just keep an eye on Starcraft 2: A Haunting, i have many ideas planned for it.
I HAVE BEGUN WORK ON Starcraft 2: A Haunting...
There is a Video on Youtube of a Test run, the Audio is Unsynced (Thank you Youtube) but i'll upload it here Also.
Thank you Grim.
Unable to create my own Graphics engine, then having to create hundreds of models and then design a program to create the levels and also hiring people to create things for me, which would cost me money..
Would be great, but blizzard would remove the map for Copyright laws.
Thank you.
Nope, i created it from scratch :)
for the time being, its only normal units. but nothing overly unrealistic.
The way the Cities are placed are strategically placed to make it even, but look good instead of having good on the left, and evil on the right.
I need to check your profile more often for things happening in Perth... I sort of missed the convention Lol, few months too late i guess.
This map is not released yet on B.Net. There is another one made awhile ago, that one i played also.. It is horrible.. Very bad.
Yes unfortunatley this is a project which is on Hiatus Indefinetly, unless stated otherwise.
Due to the release of Starcraft 2, i have to say yes this mod is dead, unless i can somehow work on it later on... but check out my new mod - The Last Marines for Starcraft 2.
I'm glad you liked it jazz_trumper.
Creating good controls with Arrow keys for Warcraft 3, isn't an easy task, but we do hope to perfect this system.
Yeah i will be Decorating the House more soon, Just it was only a demo.
Heya Craka_J, i'm sure you know me from Hive. :)
Hey dude, seen this on the Hive, you may know me from there aswell, just sayin hi :)
check out my Warcraft 3: A Haunting Mod :)
I took your advice and created that 'Viral Marketing'.. check it out, its in the new news on A Haunting's page.
Thanks HounderKnight, I'm really glad you liked the demo i hope that it will be a much better when we released Future Advancements of Demo's leading up to the FULL Release :)
- Right now we are working on the Attic and Basement of the House, hopefully we will release A3 with both of those Included :)
Ah cool, i hope you enjoy the map :)
Yeah sure, when you download the map, just extract it into the Warcraft III/Maps/Download Directory, then just access that same folder inside Warcraft III
How? It doesn't give me the option to..
You can purchase this game off the PlayStation Network now for $15.95(AUD)
You can Viral Market with your map, reason is that your map is based on a Nuclear Reactor, so you can base it off that year and so forth, what they used in that business.. I cant do that with this map.. Unfortunately.

Lets say I have a Person model and a Opinion model. Opinions belong to Person, a Person has many Opinions. Some people are shy.
I am trying to find a set of opinions where the person is 'not shy' or something along those lines. Is there a way to do this that does not involve finding all people who are not shy and then finding those people's opinions? I would like to do something like the pseudo-code below:
@opinions = Opinion.all.where_owner_person('shy = false')
this might be something obvious I have missed, but I can't seem to come up with the right phrasing in my searches to catch the answer.
thanks in advance.

The forum's open format, which began at this year's Oshkosh AirVenture, is now known as The IMC Club Open Chapter Meeting. This Meeting will follow a regular IMC Club Chapter Meeting format, with a focus on IFR proficiency and the decision-making process through an organized discussion of real life experiences that pilots encounter in instrument flight.
The concept behind the IMC Club is to create local communities of instrument rated pilots, and aspiring instrument pilots, around the country and around the world, who regularly meet to discuss topics and share information relative to instrument flying. This "organized hangar flying" promotes the sharing of information and experience among attendees.
"We intend to be present with this 'Open Chapter' format at most General Aviation events nationwide to allow pilots who don't have chapters in their communities yet, to sample what the IMC Club is all about" - said IMC Club President, Radek Wyrzykowski.
Also, as a newly added member benefit, you could now be receiving a complimentary two months of IFR Magazine and IFR Refresher. You could also aspire to join the "Inner Marker Circle". This is a new group that operates within the IMC Club for current, proficient IFR pilots who meet the more demanding standards. This group will consist of pilots who are dedicated to continuous improvement in the arena of instrument flying skills and who pledge to fly at least one instrument approach or exercise per month.
More information can be found at www.imcclubs.org
