George and Mindy


What can I say, other than great wedding. A compact 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. day, with plenty going on. I just love how this wedding turned out. And yes, I often start my videos with some sort of live music going on at the reception. Why? Because I love it. The band at the wedding often tells a lot about the couple. George and Mindy had a swing, bluegrass, jazzy quartet jamming at the reception. I couldn't get enough of them. During breaks, I often gravitated towards the band. They were just plain cool.

There's nothing like a wedding with military uniforms. It transcends formal. It's something else entirely. There's definitely a sense of reverence, at least on my part. These guys are doing something that many people won't be doing for their country.

Anyway, quite a day. This is a highlight of the entire day - an abbreviated version of the final wedding video - which runs about 11 minutes. Enjoy.

Michael and Lauryn



I've been known to fiddle with wedding films for my website. Color them up, change the music, rearrange and shorten the edits.

Such is the case with Michael and Lauryn's wedding film. I went old school medieval on it, pulling out the contrast, and giving it an aged look. Something akin to an HD Super8 camera (which to my knowledge doesn't exist). Keep in mind, I've also edited this in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 to give it a more widescreen effect.

Anyway, here it is. I hope you enjoy it. This couple was great and kept their cool when the reception got moved inside. Due to wind, of all things.

If you need a certain "look" to your wedding, please let me know when you book me.
