Schumacher Diamond is possibly the best vendor Smashdog has ever had the pleasure of working with.  Their team is highly skilled, their selection is second to none and their skills for custom work will blow your mind!  Give Cathy or Kirstin a call at Schumacher Diamond and please tell them that you know Super Jill!  They might hand you a glass of wine as your browse their selection of amazing diamonds!
It takes a lot to impress a super hero, but my jaw dropped to the floor when they showed me the custom work they did for myself and Aaron.  UNREAL! Don’t buy your engagement ring anywhere else.  Make a road trip no matter where you are from.  Believe me when I say this...it’s worth a plane ticket for my out-of-staters. 

They cut their own diamonds...watch the video here
And make sure to check out their custom designed engagement rings that will blow you away!

Simple Elegance
Lacey Schettler
Bismarck, ND
701-202-8038

http://www.simplelegance.net/index.php

It’s not every day that a professional wedding coordinator and decorator compliments your work.  When they hire you to shoot their own wedding, you know you must be good at what you do for a living.  Lacey is a professional wedding decorator based out of the Bismarck, ND area and has shown me time and time again her level of talent and professionalism.  What an amazing personality she has and her taste for design will make your heart melt. 
She’s the one I will be trusting to get the studio ready for the grand opening event this year and has some of the most incredible high fashion ideas and access to some of the most beautiful textures and visual displays.  If its custom designed florals this girl will completely blow your mind!!!
Think big when it comes to this decorator.  Like Oscars or Grammy Awards big.  She has access to bead curtains, lights to fill any room, candle displays, centerpieces that should be featured in magazines and not only that...she has a blast doing it!
Her warm smile and laugh will make you feel completely comfortable and know that if Super Jill says this girl is the best...she is!
A fellow “Rockstar” in the world of weddings.  Give Lacey a call.  You won’t be disappointed!

Robert Benda-Exclusively For Weddings DJ-MC
www.robertbenda.com

Robert is a cool dude.  How do I know this?  In all the weddings I have shot, he’s the only DJ I have ever had desire to have a conversation with.  He’s professional, cool, charming, and a snappy dresser.  What can I say, I like the guy.  He had a great sense of humor and by golly can do the electric slide.  He’s even tried 3 times (unsuccessful) and 3 different weddings we have worked together with to get me to break dance.  That stuff costs extra people!
All kidding aside.  The guy is a lot of fun and will get out there and bust a move with this rockstar of a photographer.  Hire him only if you want to have a blasty-blast.  Boring DJ’s are everywhere else! Don’t be a victim of a lame wedding dance!  Call Robert...tell him Super Jill sent you!

Want a cake that is not only amazingly beautiful but tastes like a bajillion dollars?!  GO TO NICHOLE!
Their selection of pastries and cakes will blow your mind!  From their amazing pecan bars to their beautifully glazed fruit tarts.  Nichole’s is one of my most favorite locations in the FM area!  Take your sweetie with to enjoy an amazing cup of French Pressed Coffee and enjoy the sights and sounds of downtown Fargo.  They aren’t open Sundays or Mondays so make sure to be there when they are open.  Say hello to my sweet friend Sabrina (a fellow 6’ model) and enjoy the day!

Their selection of flavors is overwhelming and Nichole’s amazing skills for unique cakes is incredible.
I accept your thanks in advance for this little jewel in ND!
