Could Your Wedding Make You Famous?
November 12th, 2007 @ 3:35 pm by Mrs. Emerald
Well, you just never know!! I previously posted my friend Amy’s wedding video footage because it was insanely great. Apparently the folks at Canon thought so too! Amy and her hubby Alex are now exclusively featured in a commercial for the Canon Rebel XTi, airing in Canada during major primetime slots (primetime = during Grey’s Anatomy, CSI, House, Prison Break, etc!!)! Check out the commercial on her videographer’s blog.
Has your wedding given you (or someone you know) some unexpected exposure? My dream was always to be featured in a wedding mag, but I think this could be one of the coolest stories ever!!

very cool!
the closest to famous i got is being recognized at a wedding show by one of the vendors;-0
LOL! I hope it was handsomely. They are adorable.
Look for a couple quotes from me in the Feb/Mar 08 issue of Modern Bride! I’m also featured in a video for dialdirections.com, they found me when I blogged on their site. Its surprising just who’s out there looking at our blogs!
I love the commercial!! Amazing video 
What a beautiful video…and commercial! And how exciting to be chosen and get to see yourselves on television.
Being a weddingbee is the only thing that has given me and Mr. Eggplant unexpected exposure. hehe.
my trash the dress session went from the local tv station all the way to CNN and the Canadian National News.
That’s so amazing! I absolutely love their video, I’ve never seen anything like it!
ahhh! that is great, I’m a proud Canadian and currently that commercial is my favorite! Congrats to them, the footage is amazing!
Okay, I cried…that is some amazing videography and how cool to be in a commercial!
I wanted to be in a wedding magazine too, but I missed the deadline (having too much fun being married I suppose).
I always thought that an amazing proposal would get covereage. Anyone see the video where the guy proposes in the middle of the stage play “My Fair Lady”?
Nice video. too bad they are not in NYC. sign. well. i dont have any famous moment. I am a very private person, i dont even upload pixs and my friends hate me for that. lol…
We are so proud of Amy and Alex! It was wonderful that Canon loved them so much, and that they where able to make it national.
When we won a Martha Stewart contest, we were featured on her radio station, on the website, on our local evening news, and on the front page of our local paper!
what song was used in that video clip? it’s great!
omg that’s so cute. the part where she smiles into the camera is just so adorable. and that’s my camera and i love it, so w00t!
Because we were a July 7, 2007 (777) couple, we were featured in an article in our local paper–which is actually a big one–but we just consider it a fun keepsake.
Kim, the song in the commercial is “We’re Man and Wife” by Michelle Featherstone
Kim — The song from the commercial is “We Are Man and Wife” by Michelle Featherstone. I loved it too and googled the lyrics right away! What a sweet song for a wedding video or slide show. You can hear it on her MySpace page:

It looks like you can actually buy the piano sheet music for the song there too!
our wedding didn’t make news/footage, but our engagement story was featured last Valentine’s day on NBC’s Today in NY show.
Wow. That’s pretty sweet.
neat!! i really like the commercial.
I saw that commercial the other day and wondered if they were a real couple! Very cool.
We’ve heard that quite a few times, hehe. Yes, we’re a real couple. I don’t know what it is about us that makes us look ‘fake’ but we better work on that 
Thank you for all the comments and to Charlene for feeling this was weddingbee-worthy news!!
Wow! What an amazing wedding and video. I’m in awe.
Mrs. Emerald
I love all the songs on the video clips on lookeschvideo. Do you know the song names especially the photo session video…”you have stolen my heart”???
Hi yeehaa - that’s our wedding! hehe. The song is called ‘Stolen’ by Dashboard Confessions. I actually found the song while looking through Scott Robert’s website.
Out of Towner -
Thanks for replying. I love your wedding so much! Do you mind giving me a bit more details. What instrumental song was with the “highlights” video clip? What song did the wedding party walk in for the reception and did you go straight to your slow song? Your wedding was just amazing! I hope I will see your commercial tonight while watching Greg’s Anatomy. Thanks again.
Hi yeehaa - sure, here’s the info:
The highlights song was ‘Tennesee’ from the Pearl Harbor soundtrack.
The wedding party walked into ‘Love is in the Air’ from the Strictly Ballroom soundtrack and we did go straight into our first dance after walking into ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ by Stevie Wonder. Good luck with planning!! Some friends in Toronto have started calling me the Canon girl. I love it, how cute!
Thank you so much, Out of Towner!
We would like to share our wedding journey with the world. Please feel free to explore our wedding website and let us know what you think.
Out of Towner- I love the flower you wore in your hair. Can you tell me where you got that? You looked amazing!!!
sorry for the late reply! the flower in my hair, if you are still wondering is by laura jayne.

About Me: I have been dreaming about my wedding forever, and flipping through bridal magazines since high school, so I am in my element! I am calling our theme "Vintage Inspired French/Asian Fusion." Mr. Emerald is very involved in the planning process, but of course he generally defers to me cuz I have a strong opinion of how I want everything to be :-).
How much did they get paid?
