Cape May Wedding | Jaclyn + Christopher | Forever Lucky Films

I love a wedding that takes place in both in Ocean City (NJ) and Cape May. My two favorite towns in the state. True fact. Nothing bad ever happens in either town. The one exception may be a long wait Sunday mornings at Uncle Bills.

 A few years back my brother was married at Congress Hall. So every time I go back I think about one of my favorite weekends. So now Jackie and Chris and their families have their own. What I capture is just part of what gets stored away.

 The photographer on this day was Kella MacPhee. I can't say enough about Kella and her photography. I'm always impressed with the ease she does her job. I'm used to seeing photographers have two, three, even four helpers. Check out her work HERE.

Enjoy!

Philadelphia Wedding | Marybeth + Kevin | Forever Lucky FIlms

I neglected my blogging duties.  Too busy prepping for an intense summer.   This was the first of the season for me. And the first at Vie, a new venue on Broad Street in Philadelphia.  I don't think Vie will have a Saturday off very often  judging by the location, food and size .  Huge dance floor, projection wall but nothing over the top in terms of decor..  Allows for a lot of flexibility in creating a unique experience.   

Check out Marybeth and Kevin's video below and check out Photographer Jim Harris' take here.

Feeling stressed?  Work got you down?  I've got just the ticket.  Watch kites float.   Listen to a lullaby.   Pour some Earl Grey in a ceramic cup with a saucer.  Munch on a chocolate biscotti and chill out.

Things That Inspire Us

Terrance Malick is a favorite artist of mine.  His films inspire similar times.  Thoughts. Nature.   He's inspired a whole generation of directors, unfortunately those directors don't get the budgets or hype that most, but still create wonderful films that deserve some praise.  One director is Australian Andrew Dominik.    A few years back he directed the under appreciated film The Assassination of Jessee James.  Leave it to an Aussie to capture the beautiful contours of America's vast and open landscape of the 19th century.   Here are two of my favorite scenes from the film.

The first is the films opening.  Narrated by Hugh Ross it sets the atmosphere for what's to come.


Then the even more beautifully shot Money Train sequence. You have to go to the link as embedding was disabled for this.

New Opportunities.

Things are shifting slowly at the studio.  We may be looking at a late spring opening of our gallery.  Perhaps.   Have a number of meetings for weddings this week but also a bunch of commercial work as well.  Details and video to follow....
