Maria + Michael

I am amazed that despite filming over two hundred weddings since 2006 every day is unique, even when the settings aren't. There are a hundred thousand variables to every wedding day. I get to add even more to the mix to create a wedding video as unique as the day itself.

Here is one such example of an amazing celebration of family.

Meagan + Colin

My first wedding was filmed in DC but since then I haven't been down there to visit or film. So now that the Downbeach headquarters has moved south the Washington area is more assessable I'm looking forward to lots more shoots there. Although, I can't imagine too many couples being more welcoming than Meagan and Colin. When Meagan emailed me to let me know that her song she wanted for the highlight video was from the Icelandic band - Sigur Ros I knew it was going to be a good time. I love Sigur Ros and you will too.

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.

Alisa + Brian Part I

As I was editing Alisa and Brian's highlight film it was soon clear I had to break it up each half really stood out on their own.

Filmed on a glorious day at the end of August, the location was perfect; Laurita Winery in New Egypt, NJ. One of those spots in you can't believe you're in NJ. I have another film like that coming up and now that I'm not living the in the Garden State full time I appreciate it more.

Here is Part One....as romantic as it gets.

Band of Horses Play Norwegian Wedding

A favorite band of mine, Band of Horses, did something pretty cool. They played a wedding. This couple were engage at a BOH show.

Diana + David

Hey y'all. With my move to the countryside nearly complete, I offer up my first film since the move. Although, it's not rural down here, it is more rustic and inspiring to me. I hope it shines through in my work. Here are the highlights from David and Diana's wedding. They were married at Ocean Place is Long Branch. It was perfect day for a beach wedding.
