Kristin and Ben

I wasn't sure after coming home from this wedding whether I'd have enough good footage to make a 10 minute film, much less a 15 min film. Ben and Kristen opted out of the standard bridal and groom prep which meant cutting off several hours of shooting Kristin's makeup, hair, dress, flowers, rings etc...they also opted out of the traditional dances - the father daughter and son mother dances... plus, the bridal party lost me on their way to the photo shoot location after the ceremony... so I didn't have those shots either. Fortunately, the photographer, who was also a family friend, did shoot it and I've incorporated those shots instead. It works nicely, actually...so this film is an example of shooting just the ceremony and reception...fortunately, all those "technical" details didn't stop this gang from having a wonderful day...despite us not being everywhere...the reception typically is our favorite part of the day... everyone is well oiled and lets their hair down on the dance floor. It was quite a party.

Soccer is Cool


OK, Ok..it's not that kind of video...it's a highlight video for the North Hunterdon High School Girls Varsity Soccer Team. Thanks to the parents and the coaches, I was given the opportunity to shoot two games and two practices. The girls really wanted a video of the 2010 season and they got one. When I presented the video at their dinner banquet, they started howling from the second shot and didn't stop until it was completed, 12:38 later. ..congratulations to the 2010 girls varsity soccer team....and thanks for letting me share the end of your season.

Bridal Show at the Holiday Inn

Bridal Shows are a hoot. A fashion show, great food, dancing, music and lots of brides. This was my first networking joint venture with Peter Gallotta from Infinity Soundz and Dana Lane of Dana Lane Photography. The idea was to create a video of us at the show and send it out to all the brides we met as an additional reminder of who we are. The concept is not new and works very well: offer brides one stop shopping with all the major services under one roof...what a handsome bunch of wedding pros...
