If Nicole and Andres’ wedding had a recipe, I’m sure it looked something like this- mix equal parts of energy, class, style, and family until blended smooth.  I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced a wedding quite like this and the only word that comes to mind is ‘epic’.   I knew when I met Nicole and her mother and sister that this was going to be something different that anything I had experienced before, and my senses didn’t let me down.  So many unique, personal, and even hand made details went into this event that was shared by 220 of their closest friends and family, many of whom came from out of town to witness this celebration.  Nicole and Andres had just moved here and wanted to give their guests something special at the reception that went beyond a Same Day Edit, so we created a piece that would give a little backstory to them and even spotlight some events of the week leading up to the wedding.   Many thanks to my friends at Northernlight Filmworks for driving in to help with this one!  I hope you enjoy Nicole and Andres Enhanced Same Day Edit which played during dinner at their reception this past Saturday.

I remember meeting Megan and Jeff several months ago to talk about their wedding at the Hall of Mirrors and bringing up the Same Day Edit and at the time, they weren’t sure it was something they wanted to do. I’m SO glad they changed their minds and from their emails, they’re equally glad! This is what Megan wrote in an email after the wedding, “Everyone was freaking out and telling me it was like an episode trailer for “The Hills” on MTV. You and Josh did such an amazing job. You are so talented and basically made the wedding night with the same day edit. Do you remember when we were considering not having it? I’m so glad we did!” As if that wasn’t sweet enough, Jeff sends this email, “I know Megan already thanked you but I wanted to personally let you know how much I appreciated everything you did for us this past weekend. The “Same Day Edit” blew my mind and was a very special moment for me at our wedding. You are a true artist when it comes to your work and I can tell you truly love what you do. The “SDE” was the talk of the party…” Emails like that make a bad day good and a good day even better!  I wanted to try something different here and really focus on the vows they had personally written to each other. I really hope you enjoy Megan and Jeff’s Same Day Edit which played during dinner at their reception!  Many thanks to Mr. Steve Lyons for the awesome reactions shots!

Sarah and Brian had a PERFECT day for their wedding, despite the weather forecasts, the sky was blue and the sun was happy! I started the day at the Millenium Hotel where Kelly Ledford of Cinci Makeup was making everyone look their best. Event planner extraordinaire, Dora Manuel of Viva Bella Events made sure the day was well orchestrated, and it was. Chad Moon and I had a great time working side by side throughout the day to make sure every moment was captured in stellar fashion. Greg Lee and his band played at The Cincinnati Club reception and had everyone on the floor singing along and dancing the night away! It was a beautiful wedding and I’m honored to have been a part of it. This was my third wedding and second Same Day Edit of the year. I wanted to share with you the short film that played on the big screen at their reception and I hope you enjoy!

Wow! What a way to kick off the wedding season! An endless guest list, 44 people in the bridal party, a Same Day Edit, and getting to work with some really great friends for a really amazing wedding. Lauren and Adam got married this past Saturday at The Princeton Pike Church of God, then danced the night away at the Oscar Event Center. Kortnee and Ted of Simply Timeless Photography were along for the ride and so were my friends John and Jen Moon of Northernlight Filmworks out of Indianapolis. I asked them to be a part of this event and it was so nice to work alongside them, they are incredible friends and produce some amazing wedding films. Penny from Brideface was also there to make sure everyone had their brideface on! Lauren and Adam wanted a Same Day Edit, this is where I produce a highlight of the day’s events and share it with the the guests on a large projection screen at the reception. Its always an incredible experience for everyone, its truly a great way to make your wedding unique! I wanted to share it with you and I hope you enjoy it as much as everyone did that night.

Enjoy the trailer for their wedding film!

Here is a shortened version of the Same Day Edit. The entire video was about ten minutes long, this sample is about five. Enjoy!
