Brittain and Aaron // Wedding Highlight Film // Highland Park Presbyterian Church, Dallas Texas

By on December 24, 2011 in Dallas Weddings, Videos, Weddings

Two years ago I met Will Bakke at the premiere of his independent film “One Nation Under God.”  Little did I know that I would be filming Will’s sister’s wedding this year.  The first time I spoke to Brittain I had to ask her why she wanted me to film when she had such a talented brother, to which she replied that he was in the wedding.  I figured he could always wear a helmet camera if he needed to, but regardless, I was excited to be able to film her wedding.  Knowing that Brittain has a brother with two feature length films under his belt, the pressure was on for me to create an epic wedding film.   This highlight is just a sample, but I believe it captures the joy and excitement of the day.

Brittain and Aaron were married August 6, 2011 at Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas.  The reception was held at the Northwood Club.  The wife husband team of Thisbe Grace Photography expertly handled the photography of the night.

Sara and Jason // Same Day Edit // Christian Fellowship Worship Center // Beaumont, Texas

By on November 21, 2011 in Videos, Weddings

Please contact me if you would like to watch Sara and Jason’s Same Day Edit.

You may remember Sara and Jason from their engagement film back in July.  These two met in March, were engaged in June, and married in November.  It just goes to show that when you find the right one, there’s no need to hesitate.  I’ve seen a lot of happy brides on their wedding day, but Sara was one of the happiest.  While she was at the beauty salon she kept exclaiming how pretty she looked.  What better expression for a bride on her wedding day?  That is the perfect mood for the occasion. This was my first official Same Day Edit that I was in charge of.  For the Same Day Edit I handled last year, I was only the second shooter.  Keeping that in mind, my friend Ashley and I finished the video with perfect timing.  I learned a lot, and expect to be doing more Same Day Edits in the future. Wedding photography was expertly handled by the talented Chandler Adaway.  He’s already posted a teaser of the wedding photos on his blog if you would like to see them.

Emily and Daniel // Wedding Highlight Film // Marty Leonard Community Chapel, Fort Worth Texas

By on September 24, 2011 in Dallas Weddings, Videos, Weddings

 

Please contact me if you would like to watch Emily and Daniel’s Wedding Highlight Film.

Emily and Daniel were married May 15, 2011 at the Marty Leonard Community Chapel in Fort Worth, Texas.  This was my second time filming at the Chapel, and it was still as beautiful as I remembered.  Filming Emily and Daniel was easy because they were such a happy couple.  Any time the camera was on them they were laughing or smiling and I didn’t even have to make lame jokes.

Sara and Jason // Engagement Film // Beaumont, Texas

By on July 22, 2011 in Engagements, Videos, Weddings

Sara and Jason met in March, were engaged in June, and are getting married in November.  It just goes to show that when you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you don’t want to spend a day longer than you have to without them.  They can’t wait to get married and I can’t wait to film their wedding, come November 5, 2011.

This entire shoot came about from Sara wanting something that she could show at her reception that would amaze her guests.  Her and Jason later decided that they wanted a Same Day Edit, which means I will be incorporating this into the film shown at the reception.  The highly talented photographer, Chandler Adaway, had already planned on photographing Sara and Jason, and he agreed to let me tag along.  Between the hours of 5pm and 10pm we visited a coffee shop, Beaumont’s only frozen yogurt eatery, historic downtown Beaumont, and the beach.  Sara managed to cover all this ground in heels, while Jason was thankful for the chance for some PDA.  You can see the photos at Chandler’s blog!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was also my first film that I have ever edited with the Cinemascope aspect ratio in mind.  This results in a crop where the movie ends up being 1920×800 instead of 1920×1080.  The film ends up looking more cinematic and allows me to focus the picture exactly on what I want viewers to see.  Expect more of this in the future.

Bryn and Jason // Engagement Film // Kessler Community Church, Dallas Texas

By on May 23, 2011 in Dallas Weddings, Engagements, Videos

 

Please contact me if you would like to watch Bryn and Jason’s Engagement Film.

Having known Jason for many years, it came as no surprise when he informed me of his desire to propose to Bryn. He spent months planning the engagement. After organizing the proposal with her family, investing in rose petals, photographs, and approximately 150 candles, he was ready. The day of the proposal, Jason would drive with Bryn to Dallas to see her family and go with her on a “date”. Little did Bryn know I would be traveling up as well, camera at the ready to film the proposal.  Ashley Stineman of Sun 7 Studios offered to help with filming and is responsible for some of the greatest shots in the film. It all happened at the Kessler Community Church in Dallas, Texas

Bryn had no idea up until he got down on one knee. She claimed the dancing to their favorite song, candles, and rose petals were clues, but she didn’t know for sure until then. As you can see from the film, she said yes.

Thanks to Ashley Stineman for all her help filming this!
