Lindsay + Michael

Lindsay and Michael are maybe the most creative couple I've filmed. They met working on TV and Michael is the artist for a recently launched comic - Feeding Ground. Knowing his love of comics and the theme of his project, I used the Aunt Betty speech for the voice over and The Black Key's - Howin' for You. Enjoy!

Alisa + Brian Part II

With 16 weddings in the last 2 and a half months I haven't had the the time to update blogs but that changes today.

Here is part two of Alisa and Brian's highlight. Turns out I went to college with Alisa and I only realized it through shared friends on facebook. Funny how that works. Her new husband, Brian, was a professional poker player at one point so I went with that and used Ben Lee's Gamble Everything for Love. I always liked the song but it worked for one of my short's - until now.

Again, filmed at Laurita Winery here is Part II.

Beth & James

My last wedding in 2009 was a fun one for sure. It seemed like forever had past since Beth booked me. It was worth the wait.

Nadia + Tom

Filmed at one of my favorite locations, Bonnet Island Estate on a perfect day Nadia and Tom's wedding created a perfect setting for a beautiful wedding film.

Latrice + Vince

As I mentioned before August was quite a rollercoaster ride and it started at quite a high on the first of the month filming Latrice and Vince's wedding. The day was filled with so many great moments it was not easy to place them all in the context of the highlight film.

Faith & Joel

Faith and Joel's wedding was a celebration of family and friends. From the reverence of their ceremony to the party that ensued; after I really had too many beautiful shots to choose from. I hope they enjoy their video for years and when their young children are older they will have proof that their parents are cool!

Enjoy

Lori + Jeff

Here is my last highlight video from the 2008 Season. Valley Green has always been one of my favorite places in Philadelphia, but as a wedding site it's amazing, especially in the fall. An outdoor wedding in November can be risky but the rain stopped and it became a perfect mild day. I've been testing out a few things in After Effects and adding them to the videos.

Erin + James

Erin and James' wedding was a first for me; a Tim Burton themed wedding. From the amazing multi-tiered cake and spider accessories to the Jack-o-lantern center pieces everything in the reception room had a Corpse Bride/Nightmare Before Christmas feel, while the ceremony remained more traditional. That gave me the opportunity to try out a couple things like new fonts and lighting for their videos. For the highlight video I even used a song entitled "The Funeral" by Band of Horses - although, lyrically speaking the song is anything but a downer.

Here is that aforementioned video. Monica filmed second camera for me which was a great help and got some beautiful shots.

Rachael + Massimo

I had previously posted Rachael + Mossimo's ceremony but finally finished the highlight film. It is one of my favorites. I had so much incredible footage I probably could have kept editing forever. Click here to go to the Vimeo site to watch. Enjoy!

Rachael & Max - Full Ceremony

One of the perks of using Vimeo to post video is large uploads. I have dozens of short highlight films on Vimeo but nothing really beyond that, until today. Rachael and Max's wedding at Bonnet Island was beautiful affair. The weather was perfect and the ceremony was extraordinary. There was great natural light. Natural light is the best friend of any videographer.

I hope to in the coming months post more examples including Preceremony and Reception footage. So stay tuned.

Jackie & Bob

I shot Jackie & Bob's wedding a couple weeks ago. They had a fun Hawaiian-themed wedding and I hope I captured the emotions of the day. Jackie loved Israel Kamakawiwo Ole's version of Somewhere over the Rainbow and asked me to use it for the highlight video. I think it was a great match and allowed me to use more footage that I typically would.

Check it out.

Tina & Rick

Here is a video I shot a couple weeks back in Malaga & Turnersville NJ. Tina and Rick where a fun couple and I had a great time shooting and editing it. They picked the music for the videos and I think it worked perfectly. The first song is from INGRID MICHAELSON entitled "The Way I Am". The second song is Hellogoodbye's Oh it is love.

2007 & 2008

I've wrapped all my 2007 projects and I'm now looking forward to an insanely busy 2008. I've booked a ton of weddings and other projects already. I've filled my summer already and have a few dates available for the fall. Prices will be changing at the end of this week, but if you already have an estimate I'll be honoring those.

Sharon & Dale

Here's a new highlight video from a December wedding. The ceremony was held at Chapel on Rutgers campus and the ceremony was held at the Woodbridge Hilton.

Lynlee & James

Here is video from Lynlee & James' wedding in November. I had a great time filming editiing it. The music is from the Marie Antoinette Soundtrack and Feist's My Moon My Man. Enjoy

Lynlee & James Time Lapse

I recently shot a wedding up in North Jersey in a ballroom with changing colored walls. It was a very cool effect. I set up a single camera to capture the movement and sped it up. Here's a taste.
