eHarmony Casting Call

eHarmony is currently casting for their upcoming television commercials. They are looking for couples who met on eHarmony and are currently engaged or married. It’s always so exciting to hear everyone’s stories and they'd love to speak to anyone who is a good match, no pun intended, for their commercials.

eHarmony is reaching out into the wedding community, in hopes of finding more eHarmony couples who are interested in sharing their stories. If you happen to know of any eHarmony couples who are planning their wedding or are already married, feel free to spread the word.
eHarmony truly appreciates your assistance.

Here’s what they'd like from the couples:
Couples will need to create a video of themselves and send it to eHarmony. Couples should not feel pressured to create the perfect video. Couples won’t be judged on production value and should really have fun with it. eHarmony simply wants couples to be themselves and share their stories.

Some possible video ideas:



The video should be under 15 minutes, must include their name, age, occupation and where the couple lives. The couple should only send DVDs or mini-DV’s. If for whatever reason the couple don’t have access to a camera, eHarmony can set up a phone interview.



Mail Videos to:
Donat Wald Company
Attn: eHarmony Casting
1316 Third Street, Third Floor
Santa Monica, CA 90401

eHarmony won’t be able to return the videos, so couples must make a duplicate if they would like a copy for themselves. After eHarmony reviews all submissions, they'll contact couples regarding their status and what the next steps are. Participating in the process doesn’t guarantee couples will be chosen for filming.

Of course, the couples are welcome to call casting director, Liz Paulson, 323-330-1020, at any time with any questions about their videos or the casting process.

Ladies let me know how this one works out!

Miss you all!

So where the heck have I been you may be asking yourself. Well, October 2008 was a very busy month for me. I shot an episode for Whose Wedding is It Anyway? Season 9. We were in Pennsylvania for that one. So much fun but that's all I can say as the network swears the planners to secrecy until the episode actually airs.

I also had a New York City wedding at the Angel Orensanz Foundation. The place is magical and has tons of character. Photos to follow.
