Jackie + Tommy | Forever Lucky Films

Here's a highlight film from a fun wedding I did last weekend.  I can honestly say I've never seen a bride smile as much as Jackie.  Tommy told me Jackie doesn't like being in front of the camera, but you'd never know it, she moved with a joyous calm all day.   

Enjoy.

Mallard Island | Nicole + Ted | Forever Lucky Films

With seven weddings in 17 days I haven't had the chance to update like I should be. I always tell myself I should blog everyday or at least every other day, but then I ignore that and post when I have a free moment and cup of coffee. I think I'm still a little punch drunk.

I added Nicole and Teds wedding last week as I headed out the door, but haven't posted it here. Nicole hired Forever Lucky Films at the last minute. She was going to go without a videographer but found us and changed her mind. We couldn't be happier she did. I love LBI and Mallard Island is a pretty awesome place. Although its true name is Mallard Island Yacht Club. Just try to park a Yacht there.

For Nicole and Ted's video I used Grizzly Bear's Two Weeks. Love Grizzly Bears and especially love Grizzly Bear. Check it out.

Scotland Run | Amy + Keith | Forever Lucky Films

Amy did the research for her big day. Not only planning where the festivities would go down, she also picked out great spots for photo-ops. Andy Todes and I were grateful for she cleared the locations, a farm and abandoned garage, with their owners and for that I'm grateful. She even picked her own tune, one from Colbie Caillat . Check out the fruit of that teamwork.

Thankfully once in every 800 years or so we're gifted with a July containing 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. Awesome, if you're school aged child wishing to slow time in the summer. Equally, beautiful and yet formidable as a wedding videographer. I'm pretty sure we're shooting more July weddings this summer than the past 3 combined.

For the three this past weekend, imperfect weather was upstaged by adventurous spirit, efficient planning with a dozen hours of footage to prove weather need not be the biggest worry for a couple on their wedding day. In a couple days I leave for Vermont to film on the banks of Lake Champlain only to return to shoot again along the shores of the Atlantic on Saturday. Busy enough for you. But wait there's more.

After shooting up near Mystic Connecticut we'll be getting the keys to our new studio in Berlin. This is going to be a space, to shoot, meet and show off all that we've done and work on new and exciting projects. There's going to be a lot of white space and we'll be working on the gallery end of it in the coming months. For all of my photography friends as well as painter and sculptures, drop me a email; we'd love to display your work and sell a few pieces as well.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Karen and I just found out twins are on the way. I'm pretty sure what I consider busy now will be changing at the close of 2011. I'm thankful July's like this happen only once every 800 years.

Lindsay + Michael

Lindsay and Michael are maybe the most creative couple I've filmed. They met working on TV and Michael is the artist for a recently launched comic - Feeding Ground. Knowing his love of comics and the theme of his project, I used the Aunt Betty speech for the voice over and The Black Key's - Howin' for You. Enjoy!

Alisa + Brian Part II

With 16 weddings in the last 2 and a half months I haven't had the the time to update blogs but that changes today.

Here is part two of Alisa and Brian's highlight. Turns out I went to college with Alisa and I only realized it through shared friends on facebook. Funny how that works. Her new husband, Brian, was a professional poker player at one point so I went with that and used Ben Lee's Gamble Everything for Love. I always liked the song but it worked for one of my short's - until now.

Again, filmed at Laurita Winery here is Part II.

Beth & James

My last wedding in 2009 was a fun one for sure. It seemed like forever had past since Beth booked me. It was worth the wait.

Latrice + Vince

As I mentioned before August was quite a rollercoaster ride and it started at quite a high on the first of the month filming Latrice and Vince's wedding. The day was filled with so many great moments it was not easy to place them all in the context of the highlight film.

Faith & Joel

Faith and Joel's wedding was a celebration of family and friends. From the reverence of their ceremony to the party that ensued; after I really had too many beautiful shots to choose from. I hope they enjoy their video for years and when their young children are older they will have proof that their parents are cool!

Enjoy

Lori + Jeff

Here is my last highlight video from the 2008 Season. Valley Green has always been one of my favorite places in Philadelphia, but as a wedding site it's amazing, especially in the fall. An outdoor wedding in November can be risky but the rain stopped and it became a perfect mild day. I've been testing out a few things in After Effects and adding them to the videos.

Erin + James

Erin and James' wedding was a first for me; a Tim Burton themed wedding. From the amazing multi-tiered cake and spider accessories to the Jack-o-lantern center pieces everything in the reception room had a Corpse Bride/Nightmare Before Christmas feel, while the ceremony remained more traditional. That gave me the opportunity to try out a couple things like new fonts and lighting for their videos. For the highlight video I even used a song entitled "The Funeral" by Band of Horses - although, lyrically speaking the song is anything but a downer.

Here is that aforementioned video. Monica filmed second camera for me which was a great help and got some beautiful shots.
