Our 1st Anniversary

This Sunday will be Dawn & my 1st wedding anniversary! I just wanted to share a few short videos that I put together over the last year. Some of you may have seen these clips already. The first one is the "Coming Soon" trailer for our wedding video that......I will......eventualy......get around to editing. :0 Dawn has been very patient with me on the video editing front, and as of now these short clips are all that I have gotten finished. I promise it's "coming soon" as the trailer says, as long as you keep in mind that "soon" is relative. Happy Anniversary Dawn. I love you always. "217"

2 Clips from Tiffany & Eric's San Francisco Wedding

Tiffany & Eric's wedding last year was spectacular to say the least. From the pre-cermony at Tiffany's parent's house (which felt more like an actual party than the "pre-party"), to their ceremony at the incredible Sts. Peter & Paul Church in North Beach, it was just fun all day long.

Thanks to Martin Meyer for coming along with me on this shoot.  Martin is ALWAYS a huge help when we shoot in CA.  Thank you for all of your help Martin.

We also had the pleasure of shooting along side two of wedding photography's big hitters.  Ann Hamilton and her "assistant for the day", Gene Higa composed the all-star team of photographers for Tiffany & Eric.

Finally thank you again to Tiffany & Eric.  I enjoyed  your wedding immensely and it was a pleasure to wok with you, your friends and family.  I hope everyone enjoys the video.  Congratulations! First up is the Pre-Ceremony clip followed by the post ceremony photo session. Enjoy.

Just the other day I received a surprise package at my front door from Corso's Cookies
I opened the box to find a very sweet (literally) gift from Allison & Tom, one of our recent couples. Thanks you guys. I will definitely enjoy these sugary cervezas!

Coming Soon Jolee & Zareh | The Atrium at The Curtis Center

We had the privilege of being a part of Jolee & Zareh's very moving Armenian ceremony, the first that we had ever taken part in. We followed the ceremony up with a wedding reception at Chescaphe's Atrium at The Curtis Center. It was a party and a half. Such a nice night to have a wedding reception in downtown Philadelphia. This was also one of the many weddings (including our own) that we spent side by side with Dollface Studios. Congratulations Jole & Zareh. Enjoy your coming soon trailer. Lots more is on the way.

Melinda & Michael Pre-Ceremony | Thomas Fogarty Winery

Melinda & Michael held their wedding just south of San Francisco, in the hills above Silicon Valley at Thomas Fogarty Winery. They had an absolutely beautiful, cloudless and HOT day for their celebration. The event space at Thomas Fogarty is really stunning as it sits over-top the hillside vineyards with a never ending view down to the valley below. It really makes for a spectacular setting for a wedding. Congratulations Melinda & Michael, your full video should be arriving in the mail today. I hope you enjoy it! The following clip is from the pre-ceremony section of Melinda & Michael's wedding video.

Courtney & Brad | Ending Highlight

Courtney, Dawn and I had previously worked together at a Restaurant in King of Prussia. So, when Courtney & Brad were engaged, they didn't really have to look too far for their video! And of course we were more than happy to be a part of their day.
Courtney & Brad were married in Lansdale, Pa and held their wedding reception just down the road at The William Penn Inn. It was a gorgeous day for a wedding and we all took full advantage of the beautiful weather and the beautiful setting of Gwyned Mercy College as Kristi & Scott Morris of Littlewing Studio ran a fun and energetic photo session. Congratulations Courtney & Brad. Enjoy your highlights. There is much more coming soon!

Thank you from Lauren & Anthony

Just the other day I received a beautiful thank you note from Lauren & Anthony, who Held their wedding last year at Congress Hall in Cape May, NJ. Lauren has been so good to us since we first met her and Anthony almost a year ago. We had such an incredible time with them on their wedding day, mainly because THEY were having such a great day together! Thank you Lauren & Anthony for such a nice card. Dawn and I hope to see you both again soon!
The photography on their thank you cards was done by the lovely and talented Kamila Harris.

The following clip is Lauren & Anthony's "Coming Soon" Trailer. Enjoy!
