Melissa Ann + James

We filmed Melissa Ann and James' wedding last Saturday at the Meadowbrook Country Club . The photographer was Melany Hallgren. This was my first chance to use the new camera- the Canon 5DMKII. Wow, what a difference. Take a look at the pre-ceremony coverage:

Melissa & Jeffrey

Our latest work is the wedding of Melissa & Jeffrey, filmed on June 6th, 2009. They were a very nice couple; very much in love. Their photographer was Steve from Bella Pictures and the DJ was Scott from JD Entertainment. It was a long day, but it was worth it. Judge for yourself, here's the trailer:

Stephanie & Brian

Stephanie and Brian were very quiet before their wedding. Brian looked a little nervous, but they DO know how to party! Their reception was the greatest party we've been to in a long time! We also had the chance to work with our good friend Amanda Williams (always a blast!) and Jason and Valerie from Night & Day DJ. Here's the opening to their film:

Susie and Andrew's SDE

We shot a gorgeous wedding at Cranbrook Gardens for Susie & Andrew Yim yesterday. They were a great couple to work with; the weather was perfect, the venue was perfect...the day was PERFECT! Jen from A Moment in Time was very helpful and Basel from Precious Memories Photo was creative and cool. We shot the prep of Bride and Groom at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester. The Same Day Edit was presented after dinner at Petruzellos. And Here it is: Our Premier of Susie and Andrew's Wedding:
