Hilton Garden Inn

March 25, 2009

March 21, 20098 the Gellespie Conference Center ballroom at the Hilton Garden Inn was turned into a fantasy land for the wedding of Christine and Brian. Cynthia Basker of Celebrated Events was the wedding coordinator and designer of this fantastic setting which was brought to life by Michaelangelos The Event Company. We were the wedding cinematographers for this event, but the Hilton hired me to shoot some photos for them to use as promotional material. Below are a few of my favorite images.

Our first wedding video production of the the year, was a fantastic affair! Event with my background as a disc jockey I love bands, there is no energy like a live band and The Dennis Keith Experience rocked the Palais Royale like few can.

About this wedding trailer. You will notice if you have watched any of our previous wedding trailers that I will use prerecorded songs. I am always looking for something unique and not just the standard sappy wedding song when creating these wedding trailers. I also like finding an audio hook from the day to incorporate into the wedding trailer so that the viewer is transported to the day with more than just visuals. For my all time favorite (so far) wedding trailer it was the phenomenal homily that the priest delivered about love, that became the day’s audio hook. For the wedding trailer for Kate & Brian the day’s audio hook and the song converged into one. Half way through the first dance song grandma joined in the rendition of That’s Why They Call It The Blues.

The song presented one problem, their grandma joined in half way through and during the time period when she worked her way up to the stage, there isn’t much happening, the band is playing but the lead singer is coaching grandma to the stage. So I had to join the earlier vocals with the later and excise the talking.

Enjoy!
