Diandra + Keith: Beautiful Ceremony at Catlin Gardens

Diandra and Keith had a beautiful wedding at Catlin Gardens last Sunday.  Their ceremony took place in the lush gardens next to a pond and under a tent to protect their guests from the sun.  Guests got to have a look at some of the beautiful gardens on their way over to the tent as they crossed a pond and waterfall by bridge and moved past several fountains.  Each guest was greeted with a beverage, most opting for campaign.

Their ceremony, officiated by Reverend Naomi Fay, was very personal.  You could tell that Diandra and Keith spend a lot of time selecting songs and working with Reverend  Naomi to let their love story shine.  DJ Larry Mulligan of Much Music supplied the music for the ceremony and photographer Rose Schaller took the beautiful photographs.  You can see some of the photos on Rose's blog.

Here is an edited version of their ceremony for you to have a look at.  Hope you enjoy!

Anastasia and Chris: Burning up the Dance Floor at Round Hill House

It's been a while since I posted a dancing clip to the blog.  When I began to look through the footage from Anastasia and Chris' wedding, I knew this was a great opportunity to post a fun dancing clip.  There was so much activity on the dance floor and I'm pretty sure that every guest was dancing at one point or another.  One thing I know for sure, they were all having such a great time!!  This clip features the song that got the most people dancing and the platform that almost every guest took a turn on.  Hope you enjoy!

A Special Wedding Day Performance

This is a special performance by Salvo Guttilla from Nancy + John's wedding day this past July.  Sadly, we just heard that Salvo has passed away.  What a great talent and a beautiful gift for him to have shared with so many.

Jessica's Bridal Prep

This is the first part of Jessica's Prep for her wedding.  There were so many details and so much activity going on that it needed more than one song.  This is the reason that I recommend that every bride includes a prep segment in their film.  The common perception is that you're only going to see the bride get in her dress, but there is so much more going on.  You'll notice that this clip ends before you see her get into her dress.

More evidence of the energy of a bridal prep can been seen in their preview clip.  It began with Jessica's bridemaids playing a song that became the anthem for Jess' bachelorette party.  The girls were singing and dancing along to it as Jessica got her hair done.  Just based on the energy in the room as they were getting ready, I knew it was going to be a great party and it was!!  With moments like these happening as you get ready, how can you not have it documented on film?

Here is the first clip of Jessica's Bridal Prep

A Sweet Email from Tina: One of our 2006 Brides

I was surprised and delighted to find this sweet email in my inbox this weekend and had to share it!

Hi Jenn:

It's been quite some time.  I just thought of you and Mike and wanted to drop a hello.  Stan and I were just feeling nostalgic and watched our wedding video.  And I was gushing like a little baby.

There were so many things I didn't remember until the wedding video reminded me of it.  I am so glad that I went ahead and decided on having a videographer for my wedding.  At first I thought a video was just duplicative of photos, boy was I wrong- and glad I was wrong!  I remember we had this exact conversation when I was planning my wedding.  We had our first meeting and you told me that couples would tell you after the fact that they would have regretted not going with a video.  I am now one of those couples as well!

The first thing that pulled at my heartstrings was seeing my grandfather in the video.  He's older and significantly less mobile.  And to see him in motion when he was well really got to me and brings back memories, happy ones.  That's when it first made me realize how important it was to have my wedding day on video. 

 

It's funny, my sister is now engaged, and going through the same process and she too is going through the budget and thinking of what to cut out... I've had the same conversation with her- that videos capture things that a still picture camera can't. 

Was just feeling nostalgic and thought of you and how I really appreciated the excellent job you did on our wedding video.

All my best,

Tina
