Michelle and Justin’s wedding as literally a dream. We flew down and filmed their rehearsal dinner the night before which gave us the idea of using certain stories from the speeches in their Same Day Edit which happened the next night during their real wedding. When you watch this SDE you have to check out the cake, it was mind blowing. Sylvia Weinstock flew down personally to deliver this magnificent piece of artwork and I had the pleasure of meeting her. Michelle and Justin couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day, it had a subtle breeze that made you want to stay their forever. This was our first time at The Breakers in Palm Beach and it exceeded my expectations, this place is a utopia. We also had the pleasure of working with an amazing team of event planners from Zanadu Group based down here in Florida. Cheryl and Dale were amazing to work with and helped me with every detail I needed, top act! Michelle and Kym at The Breakers were just as helpful making sure we knew everything happening at every point. I wish it was like this all the time, wow. My good friend and celebrity photographer Anthony Vazquez shot the stunning photography for this wedding. Anthony had flown directly from WPPI (an international photography convention) in Las Vegas where he as honored with the prestigiuous THE NEXT award, so Michelle and Justin had certainly picked the perfect photographer for their wedding. Michelle and Justin were a very fun couple to work with. You can check out their photographer’s slide show here and also their blog post here. We had the pleasure of shooting a cool concept months earlier where they did an E-Shoot with Anthony Vazquez and had a sick champagne fight. Yep, this is the same couple. Be sure to check out Anthony Vazquez’s blog for Michelle and Justin’s amazing pics as well. You can also folow the story of this bride and groom at The Breakers own blog here. To top it off the live entertainment was off the hook. Marcia Mitchell Band rocked the party all night long, one of the best bands I’ve ever heard.

South Asian Indian Wedding in Asbury Park, New Jersey

South Asian Indian Wedding Teaser in Asbury Park, New Jersey
We were blown away with the beauty of this wedding. For those who may not know, South Asian weddings are completely different from any other wedding you would experience. It is filled with colors, tradition, rich culture, multiple ceremonies, and more. Everything took place at Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey. We started filming while Kirti and Kumar were getting ready in their rooms.
The first look followed soon after which allowed us to capture a beautiful and emotional moment for them. The next formality was the Baraat which is when the groom is danced from outside the hotel into the lobby and up to the ceremony room. Kumar was carries by horse while family and friends danced the amazing celebration. This led directly into the colorful ceremony filled with ancient rituals and the beautiful bride’s entrance as we watched her being carried on a Doli into the ceremony. South Asian ceremonies are generally longer than traditional american ceremonies. This one lasted almost 2 hours and was followed by a 2nd ceremony called the Vidai, where the bride is bid farewell. This is one of the most emotional moments of the day and usually causes people to cry.
Later on we had an awesome creative session with talented photographers BnB Photography. Photographer’s Amar and Mark were great to work with and were very helpful for us because they had so much experience with south asian weddings, I can’t thank them eneough. We were able to take advantage of magic hour where the sun is at the perfect spot for pictures and filming. The reception started soon after and began with a draw-dropping grand entrance of the bride and groom. The preview below was played right before the bride and groom entered into the room. I remember weeks earlier Kumar came up with this great idea of making a preview to show the guests featuring moments that happened hours before.
I can’t say enough great things about DJ Suj. He made sure to communicate with us and other vendors throughout the netire day. His team and professionalism was outstanding. The reception was filled with speeches, performances, and dancing for the remainder of the night. The whole day was orchestrated by Preeti from Preeti Exclusive Creations. She was responsible for making sure everyone was on the same page at every stage of the day. She was always there for me if I had a question or needed to contact the bride or groom. What an amazing job they did.

Royalton Wedding at Roslyn Country Club
Royalton Wedding at Roslyn Country Club
Marissa and Miguel got married on October 9th, 2011. Their special day began with an emotional ceremony at Christ the King in Commack, New York. You could tell that Miguel was having a hard time holding back tears as his beautiful bride walked down the aisle. During the creative session it was great to see the couple making each other laugh and keeping each other in high spirits.
Then we headed to The Royalton in Roslyn, New York for one hell of a party. The drinks were flowing freely and DJ Serg had everyone out of their seats for some off the hook dancing. Then a group of showgirls, dressed in sparkling gowns with giant feather head dresses, came out to join the guests on the dance floor! This to the night’s unique and exciting feel. The speeches at the reception that night ran the gamut of emotions. There was the funny which saw the best man and maid of honor betting on who would give the best speech. But there was also the touching as the mother of the bride dedicated Desiderata by Max Ehrmann to the bride’s late father. It was a special night for a great couple.
Marissa and Miguel’s feature film will be coming soon but until then we present their highlight reel, enjoy!

Wedding at Westhampton Bath & Tennis Hotel
Lorin and Jordan got married September 24, 2011 at the picturesque beachside Westhampton Bath & Tennis Hotel in Westhampton Beach, New York on slightly overcast but beautiful day. The first look took place on the boardwalk with a stunning view of the crashing waves. The moment was a great mix of sentimental and silly that came through in the couple’s personality all day. Later, Lorin walked down the aisle accompanied by Lucky Chops an awesome brass quartet that really brought a different feel to both the ceremony and the cocktail hour.
Then it was on to the reception where we were in for a real treat. The toasts given by Lorin and Jordan’s family were very different but they all had the same sentiment; this was a couple who not only cared for each other but for all those they loved. To cap off the toasts the groom’s brother brought down the house with his speech that found the perfect mix of poking fun while still being genuinely sweet. Mix that with some great dancing and a performance from Jordan himself and you have a night to remember.
Lorin and Jordan’s full film is still to come but for now sit back and enjoy their highlight reel.

October Wedding at Oheka Castle in Cold Spring Harbor, New York
Wedding at Oheka Castle in Cold Spring Harbor, New York
Cassandra and Daniel’s story is really cool. They met on Match.com, had their first date at Washington Rock State Park and later Daniel brought Cassandra back to this memorable spot to make his proposal.
The bride and groom got married on October 1, 2011 at the famous Oheka Castle in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. The morning started off with a some drama as Daniel’s tuxedo took its time getting up to his room but after that little bump in the road the day was off and running. The creative session with Chris from Brett Matthew’s Photography was a blast. Cassandra and Daniel were troopers even when we asked them to do some fast dancing right on the lawn!
The day was just getting started though as the supremely talented singing group The Unexpected Boys brought down the house during the ceremony. Then it was on to the reception where in addition to some off the hook dancing we learned that bride’s dad has a list of 10 rules for dating his daughter that he had to be dissuaded from showing Daniel when Cassandra brought him home. Sit back and enjoy Cassandra and Daniel’s Highlight Reel!
