Jaryn & Brian were married last year in Philadelphia. This clip is from their center city Philadelphia wedding photo session. My good friend and fantastic wedding photographer, Ryan Estes took Jaryn & Brian to some very cutting edge and unique locations around the Philadelphia Loews Hotel where Jaryn & Brian held their wedding reception. There is more to come from this wedding. I just wanted to get this clip up because I really enjoyed working on it this afternoon!
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!)
Steph & Joe were married at The Ram's Head Inn in Galloway, NJ. These two had an absolute BLAST on their wedding day. A choreographed entrance/first dance and a crowd that packed the dance floor all night are some of my memories from this (very much in love) couple. But let's rewind it a bit for the video clip below. This is the "pre-ceremony" section from Steph & Joe's wedding video. Congratulations to you both. Thank you for sharing your day with me. The DVDs are on their way!
Amy & Jay (who coincidentally, live right down the street from my old pad in San Francisco) held their wedding at The Mansion on Main Street in Vorhees, New Jersey. Amy is originally from New Jersey, so she and Jay were married her on the East Coast close to family and friends.
This clip is from their photo session with photographer Ryan Estes in Center City Philadelphia. Ryan took Amy & Jay along with their entire wedding party on a brief tour of Philly. We stopped at Logan Square, City Hall and the Ben Franklin Bridge before heading over to The Mansion on Main street for the wedding ceremony and reception.
Congratulations to Amy & Jay! Enjoy this clip you guys. The DVDs are coming to you very shortly!
Caren & Eric held their wedding last fall at La Massaria at Bella Vista. A beautiful and warm afternoon was the prefect setting for their outdoor ceremony. Kevin & Joy of Spark Photography took Caren & Eric along with me and their wedding party on a nice leisurely stroll around the golf course for their photo session. This clip is from that photo session held right before Caren & Eric said their "I do's". Congratulations to you both. The DVDs are on their way!
Katie & Pete were married last fall shortly after they moved to the Philadelphia area after several years in Boston. I think there was a hurricane on the day they held their wedding because it rained ALL DAY LONG. Of course this didn't stop Katie, Pete and their friends & families from having a blast. But don't take my word for it. Check out their ending highlights clip to see for yourself! Congratulations Katie & Pete. The DVDs are on their way.
Jen & Rob were married down the shore last fall. They held their ceremony at Our Lady of the Angels Parish at The Cape May County Courthouse with a reception right on the beach at the Women's Civic Club of Stone Harbor. The day was A LOT of fun. There were just under 50 people in the wedding party I think? Not really, but Jen did have A TON of bridesmaids.
Congratulations to Jen & Rob. Enjoy these clips. The DVDs are on their way!
The first clip is the Super-8 Film "style" photo session.
This clip is the "Ending Highlights" section of Jen & Rob's wedding video. Keep an eye our for the cutest flower girl EVER in the history of weddings!
Valentine & Jonathan being life long New Yorkers, naturally held their wedding and reception in New York City. It was a rainy day in Manhattan. But none of that mattered as everything was held inside the rich and swanky digs at The University Club. Valentine had me cracking up during her pre-ceremony preparations. She was cracking jokes left and right and you can really see evidence of that in her video. I had the pleasure of re-living all of her jokes and stories as I edited the video and I was laughing all over again while working at my computer!
Congratulations Valentine & Jonathan. Enjoy your highlights. The DVDs are on their way!
Dawn and I met with Lauren & Anthony last summer to discuss the plans for their wedding at Cape May, New Jersey's Congress Hall. We instantly liked them both and we knew their wedding would be special. I felt as though I knew them very well before their wedding day arrived and once it did, we all had a great time together. Their video turned out so well because Lauren & Anthony are such a great couple. All I had to do was turn the cameras on and capture the friendship and love between these two that was just so evident all day long. Everyone involved in this day including photographer Kamila Harris and myself just kept commenting on how this was "the best day ever". The weather was phenomenal, the wedding was beautiful and Lauren married Anthony. Congratulations, yet again to you both. Lots of love from First Floor Films.
The 1st clip is the "pre-ceremony" section of their wedding video. The 2nd clip is the "ending highlights" section of their wedding video.
Tiffany & Eric's wedding last year was spectacular to say the least. From the pre-cermony at Tiffany's parent's house (which felt more like an actual party than the "pre-party"), to their ceremony at the incredible Sts. Peter & Paul Church in North Beach, it was just fun all day long.
Thanks to Martin Meyer for coming along with me on this shoot. Martin is ALWAYS a huge help when we shoot in CA. Thank you for all of your help Martin.
We also had the pleasure of shooting along side two of wedding photography's big hitters. Ann Hamilton and her "assistant for the day", Gene Higa composed the all-star team of photographers for Tiffany & Eric.
Finally thank you again to Tiffany & Eric. I enjoyed your wedding immensely and it was a pleasure to wok with you, your friends and family. I hope everyone enjoys the video. Congratulations! First up is the Pre-Ceremony clip followed by the post ceremony photo session. Enjoy.
