Sony and Irf: Coming Attraction
ShareThisSony and Irf’s wedding was spectacular in every way. From the location to the design, coordination, entertainment, everything! The Newport Aquarium proved to be the perfect location especially with Sony’s love for aquatic wildlife and it was nothing short of stunning. A tented and very personal ceremony outside with the Ohio River flowing beside was the precursor to an very fun evening inside the aquarium. Sony and Irf even scheduled time for their guests, many from out of town, to explore the aquarium on their own. This was definitely one of the most beautiful weddings we’ve filmed and we’re very honored to have been a part of it. Please enjoy their Coming Attraction.

Lauryn and Chris: The Same Day Edit
You could almost categorize the weather on their wedding day by pre ceremony and post ceremony. Pre ceremony, it rained, and by rained I mean IT POURED. Everyone was paying close attention to the weather though because Lauryn and Chris were hoping for an outdoor ceremony with the Cincinnati skyline to their backs. Amazing as it may be, it rained until the last possible minute, just as they were setting up for the ceremony. It truly was unbelievable how the rain stopped, the clouds parted and the sun came out, all within a very short amount of time. Chris claims it was his doing, while others had their own ideas. Either way, it made for a beautiful outdoor ceremony. After the ceremony, the party got started and it did not stop, thanks to Jeff at Party Pleasers. It was a spectacular event filled with so many personal details and I’m honored to have been a part of it all. Enjoy their Same Day Edit, which premiered during their wedding reception.

Allison and Parker: The Same Day Edit
Allison and Parker had a very intimate wedding as they joined their lives surrounded by their closest friends and family. The Grand Ballroom in the Westin in Columbus was the perfect venue for their wedding with its classic architecture and elegant ambiance, it was a definite match. Allison spent the morning preparing with her bridesmaids and family while Parker was doing the same with his friends from the Air Force Academy. Everything was perfect and not a detail was overlooked, in a word, it was stunning! They truly gave us so much to work with and were so excited to surprise their guests with the Same Day Edit, the reaction was powerful. Enjoy this short film which premiered at their wedding reception.

Jessica and Andy: The Same Day Edit
I can remember first meeting Andy and Jessica in the studio and how excited he was for his wedding. He wanted it to be perfect and in the end, it was nothing short of that, actually it was more than perfect! Ok, so the weather didn’t get the memo, but that didn’t stop their guests from witnessing one of the most stunning weddings I’ve ever seen. They shared their vows in the Hall of Mirrors, then the room was flipped for their beautiful reception. Andy was on top of the world and Jessica was right there with him. It was a huge honor to film their wedding and work alongside them, their families and an incredible professional team that was there to make sure that this would be a night to remember. Enjoy their Same Day Edit which premiered at their reception that night!

Meagan and Rob: Coming Attraction
What could be better than a beautiful Winter wedding? A Winter wedding where the bride is hoping for snow! Secretly I was hoping for snowfall but when Meagan told me that she too was hoping for it, I knew this was going to be FUN! Meagan and Rob’s wedding took place at the historic Ohio Statehouse in the stunning rotunda. Between the ceremony and reception, we went outside to have a little fun and couldn’t believe our eyes when the good stuff was falling from the sky! This was an incredible event filled with so much personality and details. Enjoy their coming attraction!

Caroline & Christopher: The Highlight
This was a day that was beyond perfection. The weather was ridiculous, the energy couldn’t have been better and I got to work with an amazing team! Caroline and Christopher shared their vows at St. Xavier downtown before heading over to the Hall of Mirrors to celebrate with their closest friends and family. After the heartfelt toasts it was time to dance, and dance they did!
I delivered their film last night and shortly after received this email from Caroline, “OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love the film!!!! It is beyond awesome. I am probably going to watch it for a third time tonight! I am sure you could guess that I cried the whole time! It brought back the same emotion that we felt on June 19th. It is so hard to put into words how amazingly talented you are. We simply could not be more pleased and feel so lucky that you were able to be a part of our wedding celebration and that you were able to capture everything so perfectly. We can’t wait to show our families, they are going to freak out! :)”
This is the highlight of their Feature Film. Enjoy!

Monica & David: The Highlight, New York City
Monica and David’s stunning wedding took place in June at Guastavino’s in New York City. The room was flooded with details, from a tree lit with Edison bulbs that would be the back drop for their ceremony and later the bar at the reception, to the incredible center pieces. It truly was an epic day and we’re incredibly honored to have been a part of such an event. Enjoy their Highlight for their Feature Film.

Krista & Jeremy: The Enhanced Same Day Edit
It doesn’t get much better than an awesome Fall wedding at Drees Pavilion. Although it was a little cooler and wetter than expected, it was still an incredible event as Krista and Jeremy celebrated their new beginning with their friends and families. They were so easy going and up for anything, running through a field with no shoes, hanging out on a bridge, and all of it before the ceremony. Prior to the wedding day we also hung out as we filmed their love story, which would be a part of their Same Day Edit. Its a feature that can add so much backstory to a Same Day Edit and offers a little insight about the couple. We set up in the studio and just talked about how they met and their lives together up to this point and then we go have some fun with the cameras. That is then mixed with footage from the actual wedding day and presented that night durning dinner. Enjoy!

Jeannett & Mike: The Same Day Edit
Under cloudless fall day in Cincinnati, Jeannett and Mike were married at St. Mary’s Cathedral which was packed with friends and family which had come to witness this epic event. Their day started with their separate preparations, Jeannett at her childhood home, actually the home her grandparents had also lived in and Mike hanging with the guys in a local suite. When I first arrived, Jeannett handed me a plateful of her mother’s homemade cookies, which I HIGHLY recommend you finding a way to get your hands on one (dozen). Seriously, they are that good! Only a few hours later, Jeannett was making her way through the player tunnels at Great American Ballpark and out through the dugout to meet her awaiting groom for the first time that day. It doesn’t get any better than that! A few hours after that, they would be right back there as husband and wife celebrating with their friends and family with a baseball themed reception, complete with ballpark food, a baseball cake, and amazing decor. Mike is a graphic designer and he created everything from the invitations, to the table place cards. It was a very unique and personal reception. I had the honor of sharing the day with Annie and Toby Varland of Varland Photography. They were amazing to work with and took some amazing shots of us in action, including the ones below. Jeannett and Mike wanted a Same Day Edit, which is a short film of their day shown that night during dinner. What made their’s really different is that it was shown on 25 televisions around the room and a HUGE screen simultaneously. It was an incredible experience from beginning to end, and I hope you enjoy their Same Day Edit!

Sarah & Paul: The Same Day Edit
I’m not exactly sure who Sarah and Paul know, but somehow they were able to have one of the most beautiful days for a wedding anyone could ever ask for, especially for August in Cincinnati. I remember during our initial meeting how excited they were about their wedding and then just days before the wedding we met again, this time with Paul’s family. A memory that will stick with me forever was Paul’s dad who is French, telling me that I’m an true artist, which in his awesome accent, sounded so much better than it ever had before! As if that wasn’t great enough, Paul tells me he is going to say his vows in French and I’m not sure who was more excited about that, me or Sarah. It was a stunning wedding under a perfect sky and I was so excited to create their Same Day Edit which played during dinner at their reception. Their guests absolutely loved it and I wanted to share it with you, enjoy!
