  • 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!

    Mindy & David: The Coming Attraction, Estes Park, Colorado

    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!

    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!
