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.
Katie & Brian were married on a beautiful summer day on the campus of the University of Notre Dame in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart with the reception following under the tent at the Morris Inn. For us this wedding was a special one, since we showed at the reception our first Same Day Edit or as I prefer to call it a Wedding Day Encore in three years and only the second one we’ve ever done! At 8PM that night, the newlyweds and their guest laughed and cried to memories just hours before.
One of my favorite wedding coordinators is Cynthia Basker from Celebrated Events. When working with Cynthia I know the wedding day will flow like a well oiled machine. But what Cynthia is really known for is her decorating style, her receptions are always a burst of color and beautiful to look at and film.
In this clip from a wedding we worked with Cynthia, last year, we captured the bride and groom’s reaction to the decorations that Cyndi designed with Michaelangelos. This is why I love video, pictures could never do this moment justice! The reception took place at the Palais Royale.
This may take a few moments to load as for some reason the video preloads before giving you the option of playing.. I’m experimenting with new codec mp4 and larger images for streaming to better present our videos. Let me know what you think.
