Vitaliy & Svetlana’s Wedding Teaser | 09.18.2011

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 Posted in Teaser, Wedding Videography, Weddings

Our team always tries to guide the couple through their wedding day so that we can get as much footage as we can to create a rich film full with a variety of content. Fortunately, with Vitaliy and Svetlana, this was very easy for us to do. They put their full trust into us and listened to the advice we gave them when we met up with them a few days before the wedding. They told us how they met, their favorite moments together, their experience being engaged and so on. This helped us to get to know them better as a couple and gave us some time to think about what ideas and story line we want to bring out while filming so we’d be able to make the best film possible. We stand firm on a belief that we need to educate our clients. We did that by helping Vitaliy and Svetlana understand how to express their love story more vividly through out their wedding day. This creates a film that has a more colorful story and a greater emotional attachment. We also advised the couple to take some time during the reception to go outside and capture a few beautiful sunset shots while the guests enjoyed the food and music inside. All these things made it very easy for us to be creative with their film and teaser, and to not only captured their wedding day, but the love story behind it.

We created a wedding teaser couple days after the wedding, however, we weren’t satisfied with it so we didn’t post it. We approached the editing very roughly and quickly, that made the story very unromantic and even unprofessional. We believed the wedding had more potential into becoming a WAY better story and edit. So we put it aside for couple weeks. Today, I opened up Final Cut Pro and decided to start from scratch. I am extremely happy with the resulting teaser and pleased that I took the time and restarted my failed edit. It was definitely worth it. Enjoy this wedding teaser.

Sometimes I get stuck because I run out of songs to use for my online wedding teasers! Here, I ran out – until I logged into Facebook and someone posted a song they loved. I chose this song for this teaser instantly because once I listened to it, I loved it too. So here it is. Enjoy and share.

UPDATE: Teaser has been updated with a more developed story. Enjoy.

Song: We Are – Joy Williams

Roman & Natalie’s Wedding Teaser | 10.23.11

Tuesday, October 25, 2011 Posted in Teaser, Wedding Videography, Weddings

Roman and Natalie’s long distance relationship finally ended, and a new, more amazing life together began. Their love for one another was seen throughout the day and there was no mistake that they were meant for each other. Even though they just saw each other only 6 times before their wedding, it felt like they have known each other for forever. Talking to Natalie before the wedding about the video and hearing their story, I got excited and really wanted to film their wedding. And honestly, the excitement didn’t fade away. The wedding went smoothly and I saw their story in many aspects of the wedding. I loved that. I believe that every wedding should be portray the love story of the couple that is getting married. And their’s was a perfect example. Roman is a Pastor of a young church in New Jersey. Knowing that, I realized that it would be great to start off the video with a Bible verse; a Bible verse that was very special to both Roman and Natalie.

Toward the end of the reception, I knew that I’ll be making a teaser for them. I was inspired to take a cinematic path in telling their story through this short wedding teaser. So here it is. Enjoy and Share.

Nik & Inna’s Wedding Teaser | 10.16.11

Friday, October 21, 2011 Posted in Wedding Videography, Weddings

This is Nik and Inna. Happy. And this is their wedding teaser.

Well of course, but what’s cool is that we love filming weddings! Including this one. When I edited the first version of this teaser, I wasn’t to happy. I didn’t even want to post it online. So I waited couple days, and pulled off something I love. Totally starting from scratch, choosing a new song, and bringing couple new shots. After completing the teaser version 2, I was satisfied and here it is for you to enjoy. Enjoy and share!

Justin & Annmarie | Napa, CA SDS (second day shoot)

Thursday, October 6, 2011 Posted in Photography, Wedding Photography

I love photographing weddings but I love photographing second-day-shoots even more. The reason for this is that I as the photographer am in charge of the whole day. I love control!! I don’t abuse it, but use it to set up amazing shots using the time I need and the places I think will look amazing… Having a gorgeous couple helps a lot. I photographed Justin & Annmarie’s wedding two days before their SDS. It was an amazing and fun wedding (maybe I’ll post some wedding photos on here a little later). We decided to go to Napa, CA for the SDS as they both loved the winery, nature setting. I love photographing in Napa. There are numerous different wineries with their own specific features and it gives me as the photographer amazing variety. We stopped by a couple wineries that day, got kicked out of a couple, but overall it was an amazing shoot. We ended our session with some romantic photos by Lake Hennessey. Enjoy my favorites from this SDS session!

I did use my tilt-shift lens for this shoot as many of you have probably noticed… I really love these next two shots as they are not only amazing silhouettes but also have the tilt-shift effect, making them unique photographs… Experimenting with different techniques always produces amazing results!!

Justin & Annamarie Wedding Teaser | 09.17.2011

Monday, September 26, 2011 Posted in Wedding Videography, Weddings

Justin and Annmarie were invited to another wedding we filmed a while back (Andrey & Olivia in July 2010), and after they saw that weddings teaser they instantly fell in love with all of our work. We got to know them and of course we wanted to be part of their wedding by capturing their wedding story.

On the wedding day, I had all the team meet up at my house, we ate breakfast and headed out the door. I told my wife while walking out of the door – “today’s gonna be a great day.” And I wasn’t wrong. The wedding was a blast! The location was beautiful! Justin and Annmarie enjoyed the day and we were there capturing their gorgeous wedding story. Through out the day I was imagining what will go into the teaser as I had couple of songs inspiring me. After the wedding, more than a week after, I chose Kaleidoscope Heart by Sara Bareilles. I love the way I paused the song to give room for the speech and filling in that gap with a soft cinematic song. That gave me the chills sometimes and I love when that happens. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it as well. Enjoy the wedding teaser!
