weddings
"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.

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.

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.

High school sweethearts. Dating for 10 years. An awesome group friends. Great families (and a father of the bride who makes his own wine). Sean and Keri are truly blessed.
You can tell a lot about a couple's "story" by being behind the camera on a wedding day. You start to get the inside jokes. You notice the little glances. You hear Sean tell his beautiful bride, "You look so beautiful, you look perfect" over and over. All of the pieces of the couple's puzzle fall together, and that is the story we capture through our work.

We have a phrase in Ohio that we use jokingly, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change." Yesterday that phrase could be taken literally. Despite the crazy weather and sustained cold winds, Kyle & Samantha braved the outdoors for some awesome photos by our good friends Ted & Rachel Linczak who took full advantage of downtown Canton and areas around the church.

When Rami & Mona told us they weren't having a ceremony we wondered how long their final would be (that's one of the main questions we get from brides). We met up with them and Ted and Rachel from Linczak Photography on a chilly December day in downtown Cleveland. We spent a few hours that afternoon at a some interesting spaces downtown and captured some spectacular footage, mostly because Rami & Mona's chemistry overshadowed all the wonderful places we went.

We attend more weddings than most people, unless you're a wedding professional as well. We get used to the structure of most days, bridal prep, ceremony, photos, toasts, first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, etc. We love it when our brides do something to make those events more personalized, like Megan did.
When Megan came out onto the dance floor to dance with her dad, she surprised everyone. She was wearing her mom's wedding dress. It was one of the most moving father/daughter dances we've seen.

As we start to wind down from the 2009 wedding season and archive the many events that we were a part of, we are going post some highlights from this past year. We start off with some of the best vows we have ever heard.
One of the things Susy and I love about our job is being able to experience many different cultures and beliefs. In 2009 we filmed our first commitment ceremony. The whole day was pretty amazing. Everything from the decor to the party were perfectly planned. But Mike and Kevin really outdid themselves when it came to their vows.

Even though Jason & Liz were married in 2010 we considered it part of our 2009 season since we now have some time off. What better way to end the season than with a great couple and some of our favorite wedding professionals.

Susy and I always say that one of the reason we love our jobs is that we work from home. "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow" is what we usually sing in the winter. When you have no place to go you don't mind when the streets turn to ice.
Of course the first snowy day we have in Ohio this year... we have a wedding. But even though the roads were slick and slushy I was glad for the powdery stuff yesterday. The snow almost became another member of the bridal party. It really made for some great shots.
