A Thank You note from a recent couple!

We just received the most wonderful thank you note from one of our recnt couples, Sara & Nick!  Thank you so much you guys!  Sara's note is below and is followed by a section of their wedding video. Our couples are THE BEST! Thanks so much for your kind words Sara.

Hey Pete,

I want to say we LOVED the DVD. We stayed up until 3 am to watch it the night we got home from vacation. We laughed hard and we cried. It is perfect. Thank you for being un-obstructive and there for every second that counted. You truly captured moments I didn't even remember until I saw them/ We felt like we had a friend between you an Eric, not "vendors" with us.  I was ready to cut videographer out of my budget.  I am so thankful my dad told me it would be insane to do so because I now agree. Thank you for giving us something we cannot quantify.

Sara and Nick

 

Philadelphia Wedding Video | Sara & Nick's Pre-Ceremony

Sara & Nick held their wedding in Chestnut Hill at The Church of St. Martin in the Fields. This was the first time we had been to this gorgeous church. In fact Sara & Nick's wedding was one of several first for us at First Floor Films. I believe this was the first time we had shot a wedding video at The Downtown Club in Philadelphia as well as one of the first times we had stopped along the way to the reception for 40 oz bottles of malt liquor. Sara can tell you all about that though. It was quite a day! 

We were also fortunate enough to be working alongside of one of Philadelphia's legendary photojournalists, Eric Mencher.  It was a pleasure to get to know you a bit Eric.  We look forward to working with you again soon.

This clip however, is from the time of fay before all of the above mentioned events.  This is the pre-ceremony section of Sara & Nick's wedding video.  Congratulations to you both! Enjoy your video guys.

Amy & Brandon | Pre-Ceremony at The Brick Hotel in Newtown

Amy & Brandon were married at the beautiful Newtown Presbyterian Church in Newtown, PA and they held their wedding reception down the road a bit at the Washington Crossing Inn. It was a fantastic late spring day and the weather was just gorgeous for all the photos and their outdoor garden cocktail hour. This clip is from the pre-ceremony section of their video where Amy and her girls were getting prepared for the day at The Brick Hotel in Newtown, PA. Congratulations to you one more time, Amy & Brandon. Your wedding video is on it's way! Enjoy this pre-ceremony clip.

Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies Crashes a Wedding

This past Friday First Floor Films was shooting Kim & Micah's wedding at The Waterworks Restaurant in Philadelphia. Kim, Micah and their families are huge Phillies fans. Excitement is definitely in the air this week for both families as Kim & Micah were getting married AND the Phillies just won their 2nd consecutive National League Championship! Kim had made up a "fake" place-card for some of her favorite, famous Philadelphians as if they were attending her wedding. Well.....one of the place-cards had Mr. Ryan Howard's name on it. And he actually showed up!!! Channel 6 Action News contacted me last night to get a copy of some of the raw footage from Ryan Howard's appearance and Kim & Micha's wedding. They aired the story this morning on the 6 AM broadcast. Check it out below. Congratulations to the newlyweds, Kim & Micah! And of course, GO PHILLIES!!!!! (Shooting credit goes out to my dad Andy on this. Thanks for being on top of this and capturing this great moment for Kim & Micha, Dad!)

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.

Congratulations to Alicia & Jeff.

Phun with Philly Photogs

Earlier this winter a few local area wedding photographers and I met up and headed into the cold streets of Philadelphia to shoot some photos, video and super-8 film....kinda just for fun. I put this video together of our exploits. The featured Philadelphia based wedding photographers including myself are: Sofia Negron, Ryan Estes, Joy Moody and Jenn Childress.
Yes, we are all that dorky.
Yes, it was a lot of fun.
No, I don't regularly take my pants off in public.
