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.

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!

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!

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!

Featured in EventDV Magazine!
Every month I look forward to my issue of EventDV, a monthly magazine that is read by thousands of wedding filmmakers all over the world. Each issue is loaded with filmmaker goodies, lots of info on various products, and features on studios around the world that are standing out. Imagine how excited I was when the editor in chief calls me for an hour long interview to be featured in this very magazine! This was all part of Daphne and Jason’s Surprise Wedding Concept Film. It was an amazing opportunity to share the process of creating this film as well as my own creative evolution leading up to it. You can read the article here. I also created a Behind the Scenes episode that you can also watch on that page. I narrate the piece like a directors cut and talk about what went into producing it and how various looks were created. This amazing production was created with an amazing team including photo maestro Cindy Wagner and Mr. Josh Emerson, Cinematographer extraordinaire. Needless to say this was a HUGE honor to be featured in the very magazine I run, don’t walk to the mailbox every month for, and to open it up to a four page spread of one of my films is completely indescribable.
