Mindy & David: The Coming Attraction
Without question this is one of the most unique weddings, if not THE most unique wedding we’ve ever filmed. Mindy and David were married at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. The Stanley is full of history and is probably best known as the place that inspired Steven King to write “The Shining” and it was the perfect setting for Mindy and David’s wedding. This was truly unlike anything I’ve ever seen and I couldn’t have asked for a cooler couple. WOW so much attention to detail to create such a stunning event. From the Jack Nicholson impersonator to the fortune teller and the remarkable room design by Design Works, this was definitely an event I won’t soon forget and I’m incredibly honored to have filmed it. Many, many thanks to Mike Novelli of Rising Moon Video for spending the day with Josh and I and lending his incredible talents. Please enjoy Mindy and David’s Coming Attraction!

Tracy & Shanaka: The Same Day Edit
An awesome couple, a beautiful day and a stunning backdrop-who could ask for more?! Tracy and Shanaka were married at Drees Pavilion with the city of Cincinnati to their backs. It was a gorgeous wedding filled with friends, family, and tradition. They shared tea with their parents as part of a Tea Ceremony, then exchanged vows on a cloudless August evening. Then the party started as they danced the night away. We had a great time spending the day with them, they really gave us so much to work with and I was so excited when they decided to do a Same Day Edit which played at their reception during dinner. Their guests really enjoyed it and I wanted to share it with you as well. Enjoy.

Lauren & Seth: The Same Day Edit
WOW! What a party! I knew going into the day that it was going to be a great one, but it was even more than I could’ve imagined. Lauren and Seth were married this past Sunday at Adath Israel and when the ceremony was over, the back wall was moved to reveal a STUNNING reception. They truly wanted to create an experience and it was one I won’t soon forget. Party on the Moon was the band and I can honestly say I’ve never seen a band rock a wedding like they did. The energy in the room was enough to power a small village and they kept everyone on the floor until their last song. Lauren and Seth wanted to surprise their guests with a Same Day Edit which is a short film of their wedding day from the preparations on to the reception and is shown on a big screen during dinner. Its an amazing experience for everyone. Their guests really enjoyed it and I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!

Rebecca and Daniel: The Highlight Film
When early April weather can be more than a little wet in Cincinnati, Rebeccca and Daniel couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. The energy in the suite as Rebecca and her bridesmaids were getting ready was so incredibly contagious, I could tell then that we were going to have an electrifying day. There were so many beautiful moments made up their day; the incredible toasts, Daniel’s reaction as Rebecca walks down the aisle, and of course the interaction between them. Rebecca and Daniel, I wish you the best as you begin your new life in Denver and I hope you enjoy these Highlights from your wedding film!

Nicole and Andres: Enhanced Same Day Edit
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.

Ashley and Adam: Super 8 & HD Wedding Film
One word could describe this wedding, intimate. Without question one of the most, if not the most intimate weddings I’ve had the honor of filming. Ashley and Adam were married in an old church that is no longer in service anymore. The decorations were stunning, the energy was contagious, and the spirits couldn’t have been higher. Ashley is the sister of Jessica Wallace of studio3z and I was so excited to be filming her wedding. It truly was a magical evening full of so many distinct features such as foot washings, open mic toasts, and a post ceremony Baptism for Ashley and Adam. I had the great pleasure of sharing the evening with Melanie and Adam of Loft 3 Photography and the super talented Katie Elfers created some of the most amazing arrangements I’ve ever seen. I truly hope you enjoy their wedding film which is a hybrid of HD and Super 8mm film.
Jessica + Cody: The Highlight

What a gorgeous evening for a wedding, and even better that it was New Years Eve. Jessica and Cody joined their lives in front of their closest friends and family at the amazing Drees Pavilion. I remember meeting Jessica and her mom, Susan in our studio and how excited they were to have us film their day. That energy certainly carried over to the wedding day when Josh and I walked into the room to start filming the preparations. They chose the stunning Wiedemann Hill Mansion for their photos and what an incredible place that is. Geri, Josh and myself were like kids in a candy store, the possibilities are endless! There wasn’t a single dry eye when they exchanged their personal vows to one another and I’m very honored to have been there for it all.
