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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
