Cinematic Wedding Video Creation

2011 { A Year in Review }

crossingriver — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:39:45 +0000

A Wedding Day from a Filmmakers perspective: When a Bride & Groom first inquires of me to capture their wedding day, I always state ” I hope I get the privilege to Tell Your Story.” A wedding day is the start of something so unique so beautiful. Two people…once total strangers…create something between them called Love and decide to unite that love forever. As a storyteller, to be invited to capture that on film, to preserve that literally forever so generations can be transported back to that day is so special. The things that happen that day will never happen again. The happy tears..the smiles..the moments that get birthed are fresh and new, it’s life writing a screenplay that’s totally original. Check out this video and you’ll get a taste of life writing a screenplay.

Jessy + Brandon { Wedding Trailer }

crossingriver — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:41:22 +0000

I’ve never been asked to just capture a reception, but when Jessy asked me to come to beautiful Geneva, New York..I knew I had to go. Jessy & Brandon had quite the interesting time to even get their celebration to happen. Brandon serves in our armed forces so his schedule was crazy. Their ceremony was filmed by a friend in Arizona in 2010 and the reception they have been dreaming of finally took place this November. I decided to create more of a unfolding type of a wedding trailer set to a really unique music score. Click play and take part in their joy!

Can you believe it? Another seasonably warm day in northwest Ohio and at the end of October! The trees were perfect….the sun was shining… Megan was stunning (Greg you looked good too man)…everything was there, being the best it could be. As soon as Megan made her entrance..her and Greg locked eyes, smiles filed the room. The rest..well you’ll just have to watch and smile too

Yolanda + Sam’s { Wedding ~ Trailer }

crossingriver — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:30:06 +0000

You know you’re having an awesome day when you look at your cell phone to check the time and it’s already late. Yolanda and Sam made everyone at their wedding feel like family ( even the Videographer ) You could tell they poured over every detail of the day from the color scheme to the guacamole and salsa at each table..which was delicious! The day started of a little cloudy but the sun quickly made its appearance..it was freezing when they did their First Look but you couldn’t tell from Yolanda’s smile! SO glad I took Spanish in high school and in college..their entire Ceremony and parts of the Reception were all spoke in Spanish…Love that language!

Excited Anticipation. I think that would best describe Amanda & John before their ceremony. All the time they spent waiting for their moment to happen, all coming together. Family and Friends piling into the church on an unusually warm October day. Ever heard the phrase, “Magic was in the air” ? Well their was plenty of that this day.

Quick cool story, we were wrapping up pictures when we looked up and massive storm clouds were about to let loose. Well, it did and the rain started falling. Katie & Scott grabbed hands and started running through the rain to the club house…still with smiles on their faces. Little did they realize they were a living metaphor for a moment. When the storms of life come in marriage, grab the hand of the one you love and run through it together…Smiling Enjoy their Wedding Trailer!
