Jess+Lindon || New York State Museum Wedding Video || Albany NY Wedding ||

 

This has been a wonderful couple to have gotten to know and it was a pleasure to film their special day. One fun tidbit is that Lindon met with many of us vendors before he even proposed to Jess, and needless to say, I was definitely impressed with that initiative!

After the successful proposal, Lindon (and this time accompanied by Jess) and I met again to go over the wedding timeline, and the hours really flew by during the rendezvous because it felt as though we were chatting as old friends. During the meeting I also got to view some cool home videos that Lindon edited himself that were filmed in Las Vegas as well as his home country of Grenada. When we went over the wedding timeline, I was excited to learn about the carnival theme of their reception and that they were building many of the games/activities that would be featured at the cocktail hour.

On the day of the wedding Jess and her bridesmaids were a pleasure to be around and it was a blast to witness the fun-loving camaraderie that Lindon and his groomsman had throughout the entire day. Also, as expected, the cocktail hour on the veranda of the NYS Museum was super-special and fun to get footage of.

I truly wish this couple a wonderful life together filled with many more memorable days ahead!

Kara+George || Canfield Casino Wedding Video || Saratoga Springs NY Wedding ||

 

You really can’t ask for a nicer couple than Kara and George and I’m glad to have had the opportunity to film their special day at the Canfield Casino. I had filmed George’s brother’s wedding the previous year (Meaghan+John), so I knew going into the day that this couple had great friends and family. Just like with John and Meaghan, it was fun to meet up with them before the wedding day to go over the timeline as well as chat about fun and random topics as well!

It certainly was a pleasure to be around this warm-hearted couple and get to film their beaming smiles throughout the entire day!

Kelsey+Brenden Wedding || Old Daley on Crooked Lake Wedding Video || Averill Park NY Wedding ||

 

Everything about this wedding day seemed to perfectly suit this kindhearted couple wedding at the Old Daley on Crooked Lake. I also think Kelsey’s and Brenden’s choice of orange for the color theme was absolutely perfect (and it even matched with the fall foliage)!

Kelsey and Brendan look absolutely perfect together and definitely seem to have a bond rooted in deep friendship; and it didn’t surprise me when they mentioned that they have been a couple for many years.  Just like Kelsey and Brenden, their family and friends were very kind, welcoming, and funny throughout the entire day.

Basically, it was one of those weddings that was just plain ol’ good for the soul to witness and document!

Christina+Alan || Popponesset Inn Wedding Video || Mashpee MA Wedding ||

 

There were many moments throughout their wedding day that showed that Christina and Alan are perfect for one another, such as declaring their love for one another in their heartfelt vows or singing a Backstreet Boys tune during their reception. They share a likeness with their kind and fun-loving personalities, friends and family are high priorities for both of them, and it even seems like fate brought them together.

From the beginning of the getting ready process through the end of the reception, the day was filled with positive energy and high spirits. It was also fun to see some familiar faces throughout the day because I had filmed Alan’s sister’s wedding the previous year, and like that wedding, the couple was joined by their many amazing friends and family.

After witnessing these two together on their wedding day with their amazing family and friends, it seems inevitable that many more amazing and cherished memories are in store for this couple.

Amanda+Matt Wedding || 90 State Street Wedding Video || Albany NY Wedding ||

 

This wedding day started out at Amanda’s parents’ house and ended at 90 State Street, and there were many nice moments nestled throughout its entirety. A couple of those moments were the toasts given by Matt’s brother and Amanda’s sister, where it was fun to learn more about the couple, such as how when Amanda and her sister would play Barbie, there was only one Ken doll, so they had to make do with using The Beast doll from Beauty and the Beast as a stand in for the second Ken.

I had actually filmed one of Amanda’s bridesmaids wedding, Melinda’s, the previous year and was honored that Amanda wanted me to film hers. Amanda and Matt look perfect together and they were both genuinely great to document for the day. I wish these newlyweds well and also wish them many more great softball seasons!

Lauren+Steve Wedding|| Revolution Hall Wedding Video || Troy NY Wedding ||

 

When I first met with Lauren to discuss the wedding, one of the things she mentioned was how the reception was most likely going to be super lively, and I can officially confirm that this was a correct prediction.

This couple and their guests brought an endless amount of fun energy to the reception, and it was smart of them to have all of the formalities at the very beginning of the reception so the rest of the evening could be spent rocking on the dance floor. In addition to the high-energy reception, there were also plenty of sentimental and impromptu funny moments sprinkled throughout the day. Unique parts of this day ranged from: Steve and the guests singing “Danny’s Song” as Lauren walked down the aisle with her father, Lauren’s and Steve’s emotional vows to one another, toasts using beer (Steve brews his own), and a packed dance floor pretty much throughout the entire night which was capped off by Lauren and Steve being tossed in the air by the guests.

I wish Lauren and Steve well and many more occasions of dancing the night away. I also think Lauren’s maid of honor, Alyssa, painted a nice and fitting picture of Lauren and Steve many years from now “sitting on a porch somewhere, sharing a fancy beer, remembering all of the good times”.

Katie+Jon Wedding || Canfield Casino Wedding Video || Saratoga Springs Wedding ||

 

It was a pleasure to join Katie, Jon, their wedding party, and their many nieces and nephews for their wedding in Saratoga Springs, NY. The day had a perfect blend of sentimental (example: Katie’s sister’s toast during the reception) and fun moments (example: the couple entering to The Right Stuff by New Kids on the Block). I also think it was really cool how they incorporated a custom Saratoga quarter pole into their wedding.

After being around them on their wedding day, Katie and Jon definitely seem like perfect matches for one another and wish them all the best as they continue on life’s journey as a married couple!

Krysten+Chris || Franklin Plaza Wedding Video || Troy Wedding ||

 

I enjoyed being around this nice and even keeled couple for the day. It was fun to learn more about Krysten and “Brew” in the toasts and see a touching photo compilation of them that their parents put together in conjunction with Mike from Music Man Entertainment. Not to mention, there was plenty of awesome dancing from the guests at their wedding!

Maria+Dave || The Vista at Van Patten Wedding Video || Short Wedding Film ||

 

So many great moments from this wedding: heartfelt vows, a song from the wedding party at the ceremony, a special first dance, and sparklers are always nice.

Based on being around them on their wedding day, I’d agree with what was said during the toasts, in that Maria and Dave are great complements to one another. From what I noticed, they share similar traits such as being calm, kind, and caring. One thing that they don’t have in common though is a passion for dance ;-). Maria grew up as a dancer her entire life, while like most guys, Dave didn’t, which makes the fact that he took lessons with Maria all the more admirable!

Becky+Jeff || The Sagamore Wedding Video || Short Wedding Film ||

 

This wedding day had many special moments throughout it: a flash mob performance at the reception, the father of the bride presenting a bottle of wine that was purchased the year Becky was born specifically with her wedding day in mind, and many, many, moments of silliness.

Lively. Funny. Zany. These are some of the words I’d use to describe Becky’s and Jeff’s wedding day at The Sagamore. I actually hadn’t met Becky in person before the wedding day, but from the instant that I met her and her bridal party, they made me and my second videographer, Brett, feel welcome and had us laughing just as quickly. I’d have to say that it’s difficult to recollect a bride with a more outgoing, friendly, and wonderfully silly personality as Becky.  It was truly a pleasure to be around her, Jeff, and their wedding party throughout the day.

I wish this couple well and am sure that they’ll continue to put all those around them in good spirits and have them laughing out loud.
