Things are a Changing

Major changes are coming in the works that pertain to the business side of my work. The creative side of me was putting on what should have been done two years ago, which is a major rebrand of our product. With the move I have to re license my business entity and so its the perfect time to rename the business. New name, new website and some new products are planned. I'm basically combining the wedding and commercial side into one company/site. If all goes well the site should be launched by December 1st.

Melissa + Michael

I love Spring Lake. It is one of my favorite spots on the Jersey Shore; just a great combination of elegance and fun. You could say that about Melissa and Micheal's wedding as well. The ceremony was held at the beautiful St. Catherine's and the reception right down the street at the Spring Lake Country club.

I recently saw the opening credits to Juno again and was inspired to create something in that nature. I didn't have the 1,000 hours it took to create that but wanted it to be fun and whimsical and I think that was accomplished. Down the line that will be something I revisit again.

I used the Bright Eyes song - "The First Day of My Life". I thought I used it before but looking through the library it appears that I haven't. Its a short song so I ended up using Vampire Weekends cover of the Fleetwood Mac song "Everywhere".

Enjoy.

Maria + Michael

I am amazed that despite filming over two hundred weddings since 2006 every day is unique, even when the settings aren't. There are a hundred thousand variables to every wedding day. I get to add even more to the mix to create a wedding video as unique as the day itself.

Here is one such example of an amazing celebration of family.

Meagan + Colin

My first wedding was filmed in DC but since then I haven't been down there to visit or film. So now that the Downbeach headquarters has moved south the Washington area is more assessable I'm looking forward to lots more shoots there. Although, I can't imagine too many couples being more welcoming than Meagan and Colin. When Meagan emailed me to let me know that her song she wanted for the highlight video was from the Icelandic band - Sigur Ros I knew it was going to be a good time. I love Sigur Ros and you will too.
