Rosie and Mike’s Destination Wedding

Just got back from Mexico where we filmed Rosie and Mike’s amazing wedding at the beautiful Paradisus La Perla resort. We had a lot of fun shooting this stylized segment that was shown as part of the Same-Day-Edit viewed by everyone at the reception on Saturday. Mike and Rosie were great sports and did an awesome job modeling for us. We think this came out pretty cool! Stay tuned – we’ll be posting more stuff later!

Stephanie and Eric’s Wedding Highlight

Well spring is here but lets just take a quick look back at winter for the highlights of Stephanie and Eric’s wonderful December wedding. Everything started with a beautiful ceremony at the spectacular Riverside Church. Afterwards, Stephanie and Eric posed for some photos and then ran off for a walk (and run) down Broadway. It was hard keeping up with them but it was so cool watching the reaction of the passerbys on the street. I think Stephanie and Eric enjoyed the attention too! They capped off their romp with a “slice” at their favorite pizza joint. Later everyone met up at Fox Hollow on Long Island for the rest of the celebration. Larry Ballereau and band kept the guests on their feet all night. Thanks Stephanie and Eric for letting us capture this amazing day for you guys.

Amanda & Nate’s Wedding Highlight

So how cool is this – the song for your wedding dance with your Dad is an original composition performed by Grammy winner Barry Miles! Just one of the highlights from Amanda and Nate’s fantastic wedding. Maritime Parc was the setting for this amazing evening featuring the awesome Project Orange. And if guests were not dancing they were likely out on the terrace enjoying a fresh rolled cigar, playing in the photo booth or just taking in the stunning panoramic views of the NYC skyline. Did I mention the Penn State Nittany Lion ice sculpture? Thanks Amanda and Nate for the opportunity to film this remarkable day!
