Karen + Kevin

It's going to be one hot summer and I'm looking forward to it after the long cold winter. We kicked off the wedding season in Philadelphia at Karen & Kevin's wedding at the Downtown Club. Although hot and humid outside, inside there was a different type of warmth. Kevin was overcome with emotion seeing Karen walk the aisle. It was really an amazing moment considering he already seen her in the dress during pre-ceremony photos.

Here are some of the highlights.

Natalie + Matt

Natalie and Matt where married two days into the new year and they kicked 2010 off with a bang. Both braved the bitter cold temps to make sure they had some outdoor shots before the sun set.

Natalie has a company that creates Flipbooks for wedding guests in only a couple minutes. It's a great process and worth checking out if you're looking for a great keepsake to give your guests. Her site is Go Festive.

I incorporated that into her wedding video. You can watch it here.

Catching Up

It's been a few weeks since my last posting. It's hard to believe that November is here and the season is coming to an end. It's going to be a busy winter with a bunch of commercial projects along with a few weddings sprinkled in there. Since I last time I've been editing non-stop and posted a bunch of projects, not including one I'm rendering as I type.

Kerrin + John

They are such an amazing couple with a great eye for good photography. I'm thrilled they choose me to film their big day. They were looking for a fun but elegant wedding film and I think we nailed it. Check it out here.

Julie + Matt

It's fitting that I'm posting Julie and Matt's video with Kerrin & John's. Both days were blessed with great weather and a lot of dancing - non stop dancing. Knownlton Mansion in Philadelphia is a perfect spot. A little piece of tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the cities crowded streets; all the energy involved comes with a invitation.

Meredith + Rob

Meredith and Rob provided a great way to spend a portion of labor day weekend. I've always found that there is a bit less dancing at early weddings, but that wasn't the case here. You couldn't pull them off the dance floor.

Calli + Seth

Appleford estate is chock full of great spots for photos and a beautiful setup for an outdoor wedding. Calli and Seth had a beautiful day and are a fun and gracious couple.

Dollface Studios handled photography brilliantly. You can see some of their pics on their site (link on the bar to the right). Enjoy the video!

Ashley + Kevin

I worked with Ashley on creating a beautiful wedding video, but since I was booked already I was only able to edit it. I work with some great shooters and the footage they take is always beautiful.

Ashley picked out the song and Dave Matthews was a great choice and will only enhance their connection to the video. All the images in the intro are video captures from the HD video; an extra benefit for having xposedfilm capture your wedding.

Enjoy!

Deanna + Steve

Deanna and Steve's wedding took place at the beautiful Holly Hedge Estate in New Hope, PA. I had never been there but it is a great place for a wedding. I was especially fond of the courtyard where the ceremony was held.

Denna and Steve were great fun and very laid back. All their guests had a blast. Photography was done by the two Jessicas over at Paired Images.

Steve was fond of the timelapse footage so I did a few different versions for them.

Courtney & Dimitri

It was a wedding blitz on Saturday. Two weddings and amazingly the weather held out for both. I'm checking out the footage now for Courtney & Dimitri's wedding and it looks awesome. This will be a fun edit. I hope they are having a great time on their honeymoon. Here are a couple of quick screen grabs.

Kristen + William

Here is a film I shot for Kristen and William. I've been waiting to use this song for a long while, but waiting for the right couple. When I heard Arcade Fire playing before the ceremony I jumped on the opportunity. Here it is. Enjoy.

Melissa + Bruce

Unfortunetly, I was booked so I was unable to shoot Melissa and Bruce's wedding but I was fortunate they chose me anyway. Kris King shot some awesome footage and the weather held out so they were able to use the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morristown, NJ before heading over to the Highlawn Pavilion for the ceremony and reception.

Evie & James

Here's a wedding I did over at Villanova. It was a beautiful day that we ended over at the beautiful Longwood Gardens. A wonderful place to shoot. Click for HD.

Valarie & Shai

Almost a month ago (i'm starting to fall behind a bit), I filmed Valarie & Shai's wedding. It was a beautiful day and they are a lot of fun. I wish them all the best. Here is the video or you can click here to see it in the HD.

Ngoc & Michael

I had the pleasure a few weeks ago of filming ago at the Old Mill. Ngoc and I have similar taste in music and she love the song from my own wedding so we used it for their's at well. I have it embeded below or you can click here for it in near HD.

Jill and Dan

A couple weeks back I filmed Jill and Dan's wedding which was held at the family home in Pottstown. It was an inspired location and despite 100 degree heat was a beautiful day.

Check out the highlight video embeded on this page or click here to check it out in near HD.

Afton and Rodney's Highlight Film

I filmed Afton and Rodney's wedding a few weeks ago at the Swedish Musuem. The weather and location were ideal. I'm looking forward to going back and checking out the area soon. Anyway, I had some great footage to work with and they both were a lot of fun with great families. Knowing Rodney's love of reggae I found a jazz cover of "Is it Love" to use and I think it works pretty well.

You can view it here in HD.

Amy and Tim for Dollface Studios

Here is a highlight I filmed for Dollface Studios in Philadelphia. The wedding was filmed by Monica Rogozinski since I was already booked for the day. I have a bunch of weddings lined up that Monica will be shooting due to conflicts and looking forward to editing her great work.

Jess & Tom

I often work with a great team of photographers at Dollface Studios. You can check out their website at http://www.dollfacestudio.com/. Darah and Siobhan are great to work with and photos speak for themselves. Here's a video I recently filmed and edited for their client.
