A few weeks back during a rare sunny day this June, I filmed Jenn & Mike's wedding in Wildwood. I hadn't been on the Wildwood boardwalk in years and was able to get some very nice shots, some of which I put on the Highlight Film and more will be on the long version.
Jenn and Mike live in Colorado now, but Mike grew up in Wildwood so it's a great homecoming for him. I'm glad I had the opportunity to capture it all, not to mention a few moments of a five hour long parade for the Elks lodge that happen to be going on right outside.
I had a fun time shooting Nicole & Ryan's wedding. Darah and Siobhan from Dollface where the photographers and we love it when we get to "work" together. Rain put a damper on some of the planned photography but I still got some great footage. Ad-libbing is the name of the game in this business and then editing a final product that is better than you can hope always helps.
Catherine and Steve are neighbors and artists. We actually purchased some art from Steve for our house and got to know them as a couple after visiting their studio. Their wedding was a real act of love as friends and family pitched it to create it. I don't know if they used any vendors at all. It seems everyone they know is artistically talented from the food and dancing, to the music. At one point a hour long jam session formed and the whole bridal party played and being musicians they were amazing. Plus the whole wedding took place a couple of blocks from my home. I doubt that will happen again.
As they are a both spiritual and playful couple I utilized those attributes in their video. I am especially fond of the second portion of the video because I was able to use Tom Waits' version of I don't want to Grow Up. I aged the footage a bit and just had fun with it. I think it captures the emotions of the day pretty well.
I'm proud to present the latest film in the 2009 Summer Series. Here is highlight film for Joanna and Aaron's wedding. As they are still away on their honeymoon you guys will be able to view it before they do.
