Wedding at Jericho Terrace in New York
Wedding Highlight at Jericho Terrace in New York
Wow this wedding day was filled with a lot of stuff. Starting with the bride, we chatted about how Heather was obsessed with the classic movie “Adventures in Babysitting” and also how she got so excited about wedding planning that she started her own event planning company with one of her bridesmaids. Meanwhile, Joseph explained to us about his passion for football and hockey and we even got to see them play a little before they got ready at the Marriott Hotel in Islandia. Joseph and his groomsmen are also avid Fantasy Football fans as he explains too.
As we arrived at the church, Cindy from Cynthia Ross Affairs was diligently setting up the decor inside. Fast forward and hour later and here comes the bride, along with the cute flower girl and ring bearer holding that very same sign to alert the masses that Heather was about to walk down the aisle.
The ceremony went just as planned but some things did not. Originally we were going to make it to the Children’s Museum in Garden City to shoot some creative shots but as we all know, November is the month that we notice the sun just disappears early. So, we decided to hang at the church a little longer and take advantage of “magic hour” which is when the sun becomes a beautiful amber right before setting.
The reception was awesome and MRG Entertainment made sure of this. It took place at Jericho Terrace in Mineola, New York. This wedding video highlight is the very first one that we used 35mm film stock emulation from CineGrain. CineGrain is a film stock company that offers world class film looks for hollywood and commercial films. Sit back and enjoy this short highlight of Heather and Joseph’s wedding. Soon they will be enjoying their full feature film which will be more like 20-25 mins long telling the complete story of their day.

Wedding at the Tarrytown House in New York
Wedding at the Tarrytown House in New York
Nicole and Jason got married on June 18, 2011 in Tarrytown, NY. Starting the day with the bride was a blast. The girls got silly and mimed having a jump rope competition. Then it was time for mimosas and a toast to Nicole’s big day. Back at the Tarrytown House Jason and his groomsmen chilled out with a few drinks of their own.
The bride and groom got married at the beautiful Immaculate Conception in Sleepy Hollow, NY. Jason was all smiles as his stunning bride was escorted down the aisle by her father.
The creative session was awesome! We got a lot of great shots down by the Hudson River but the highlight had to be reenacting Nicole and Jason’s first dance with the Tappan Zee bridge as the backdrop. The visuals were sick! As always working with an artist like Ricky Restiano was a great experience.
The reception took place at the classy Tarrytown House and the party was awesome! It’s always fantastic to see a bride and groom out on the dance floor having a great time. An exceptional end to an exceptional day.
Wedding Highlight in September
Wedding Highlight in September
Jacqueline and Thomas’s got married on September 17, 2011. The day started off in Brooklyn, New York where they both got ready for their big day. I recall, during filming Jacqueline, that she told me about some cool new song that may work for the wedding highlight reel. It happened to be this song and wow was I happy when I heard it. That morning I met Michael Cody too who was the photographer. I had worked with him in the past and hadn’t seen him in probably 2 to 3 years. Him and his crew were a pleasure to work with. Thomas was geting ready not far from here where he started the day by walking his dog.
The ceremony took place at St Rosalia Regina Pacis RC Church in Brooklyn where we’ve been many times before. The anchor point of the day was of course the emotional moment when Jacqueline walked the aisle with her dad towards her soon-to-be-husband Thomas as he stood star-struck watching his angel come walking towards him.
Of course I told the The bride and groom to think of something out of the box for the creative session and they decided to load up the groomsmen with a bunch of shaken champagne bottles to blast open at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Of course the guys didn;t have a problem finishing off what was still left in the bottles. The view overlooking Manhattan was beautiful so we stuck around to get some nice journalistic shots of the bride and groom in their native Brooklyn hometown.
The reception took place at West Mount Country Club in New Jersey and the reception was a non stop party. They finished the night off with a crazy after hours party featuring a 2nd DJ, cigars, and midnite snacks like sliders, onion rings, and more.
