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!

It would be difficult to ask for a better day.  From the preparations at her uncle’s beautiful home to the reception at The Phoenix that evening, everything was under a stunning sky.   The weather was perfect, the leaves had just started to change, I swear Kristin and Mark have connections somewhere to get a day like that!  It was definitely a unique day too.  Kristin and Mark didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, but were having their pre ceremony photos taken at the same time, in the same place, her uncle’s home.  They even wanted to ride to the ceremony together, but still didn’t want to see each other first.  I suggested they wear blindfolds and even sit next to each other in the limo bus.   They loved it and even added to it by bringing along some heart shaped glasses to wear on top of the blindfolds, just to be sure.   They had a blast with it all, and even though they sat next to each other on the bus, holding hands, they still never saw each other until she walked down the aisle!    The very talented Steve Lyons was there as well capturing each moment and was incredible to work with.  It was a perfect day for the start of their lives together.   I hope you enjoy their Coming Attraction Trailer!
