Collingswood Wedding | Fran + Mike | Forever Lucky Fillms

Soon after booking Fran and Mike's wedding. My wife learn she was pregnant with our first child. Due date Jan 15, 2012. Fran and Mike's wedding date, December 30th. I thought, whew dodged a close one (also booked Dec 31 more on that day later in the week). Then a 12 weeks in, we found out our first child was actually two children and the date was now Christmas week.

Over the last few years I've worked with some great videographers and filmmakers. I was fortunate that Tom Mattera and his wife were available. They shot some outstanding footage for us and I've been experiencing Fran and Mike's wedding at the edit suite. Photography was captured by Andy Todes....check out his website here

Check out some of their highlights here.

Some Cocktail footage

Editing Jen and Andy's wedding tonight. Thought I'd share to the intro to the reception footage since its dreamy fun, like a music video within a documentary within a movie.

Squaw Valley Wedding | Ava + Chip | Forever Lucky Films

So Ava wanted a wedding back-dropped with the glory of fall in Squaw Valley while Chip wanted a winter wedding back-dropped with snow capped peaks.  Initially Ava won setting a date early November.  The day before the wedding the trees lined the valley with colorful foliage.  Then the clouds came and the next day those leaves were covered with snow.

The first snow of the season fell as Ava and her bridesmaids prepped at Plumpjack Inn and continued all day. I would have to say it was the coldest outdoor wedding I've done, maybe will ever do, but everyone was prepared and there really was no better place to tie the knot that day.

Here are some of the highlights of there jubilant celebration.  In the end everyone got that what they wanted.  Snow, colorful leaves and most importantly an epic party with family and friends (plus a win from their Alma Mater Oregon).
