Patrick & Elizabeth's Rainy Day Edit
August 22nd, 2010
Patrick and Elizabeth didn't let a little rain dampen their spirits even though their outdoor wedding had to be moved indoors at the last minute. Thankfully Lake Front Country Club had a beautiful room for the ceremony to take place. The weather cooperated earlier in the day to get a few photos outside. After waiting 13 years (how long they have been dating), Elizabeth was not going to let a little rain (or 2 inches of rain) ruin her day.

Style Me Pretty Inspirational Shoot
August 12th, 2010
Genevieve Nisly recently approached me with an idea of making a "behind-the-scenes" video for an upcoming inspirational shoot that her and Valarie Kirkbride were teaming up for. Style Me Pretty is a huge blog that is dedicated to inspiring brides to make their wedding something special and unique. This is accomplished is many ways. One way is through their Inspiration Boards. Genevieve and Valarie chose a board that they liked, gathered various wedding professionals (for a list see Genevieve's blog), and made the inspiration a reality. It was an honor for me to be asked to participate with a group so distinguished.
Here is the post about the inspiration board and the post about the shoot with many of the awesome images that Genevieve captured.
Finally the video that I put together with some behind the scenes footage and my interpretation of the day.
Brian & Emilie's Same Day Edit
August 1st, 2010
"I just want my Same Day Edit to be as beautiful as my sister Anecia's" Emily told me on Friday. When you have a wonderful couple, a lovely day, and a personalized wedding it's going to be a beautiful video.
Emilie and Brian are both school teachers (as were many of their bridal party members) and they did a great job making their wedding unique and personal. From the chalkboard table markers, to the school bus limo, Emily expertly incorporated their shared profession into many of the details of the wedding day. I'll be sure to post some of their final video so you can see these unique details!

Max & Tiffany's Same Day Edit
July 25th, 2010
Tiffany knew she wanted a Same Day Edit before she was even engaged and I'm sure she had great expectations for what it would be like. One of the most important elements of a good video is having a couple that's in love and willing to show that emotion. You could tell Max and Tiffany were in love by the little looks and glances they were giving each other throughout the day, which made our job easy.

Michael & Allison's Same Day Edit
July 18th, 2010
Allison knew exactly what how she wanted her Same Day Edit... and it was "absolutely perfect".
The photo montage is very common at wedding receptions. We set a limit of 100 photos for our photo montages and use typically 3 songs. This usually ends up being about 6-7 minutes long which is the perfect length. I always like showing a photo montage before a Same Day Edit and tying the two together. It is great to use a few stills from the day before the video begins because it really builds the excitement. Last night there were audible gasps.

Michael and Allison did a wonderful job picking out photos. Obviously they have some good photographers in the family.
Allison gave Michael an iPad as a gift. A groomsman later told her, "I am surprised you didn't hear him squealing. He was so excited." In light of that, I thought I would post a copy of their video formatted for iPad as well. So Mike, Right-click and save as.. Michael & Allison SDE - iPad Version. Check out his reaction.
