Lynn & Drew

Lynn and Drew were married on May 30th, 2010 at North Hampton Valley Country Club in Richboro, PA. It was a gorgeous day for the passionate couple, deeply in love with each other.

First we got great video of the bride and groom's preps at the hotel. Drew and the guys were cool under pressure as were Lynn, her girls, and her mom.

All of them looked beautiful when they were all ready. So it was off to the Country Club for the big moment.

Being a Jewish wedding, tradition had the bride and groom meeting before the ceremony. Drew waited with his back turned as Lynn approached him. What a sight it was when he turned to see her.

They then continued with the ceremony and the signing of the Ketuba, a very emotional moment for all family members, especially the mother of the groom and his grandmother. Tears were not limited to the women however, and Lynn as Drew couldn't help but let their own tears flow.

Tears continued to flow during the ceremony where Lynn and Drew recited their own vows. It was touching for all in attendance to see.

The reception was fantastic with perhaps the best live band I've ever heard. More than that, Drew surprised everyone with a special performance by Grammy award winning Scot Sax. He performed the song "Got Your Name on It" but only up to a certain point where Drew took over.

It was a classic moment of the evening. By the time the cake cutting and bouquet toss was over, everyone was certain they had one of the best times ever.

Jessica & Chris

Jessica and Chris were married on May 30th, 2010. I was unable to get the video myself for this wedding. Instead I had one of my trusted videographers Eric Velez get the footage. After getting the footage back I got to know Chris and Jessica much better.

The two are a couple after my own heart. Chris moved to NJ from California to start a church. Soon after he realized he was here to do more than that, he was here to begin a life with the woman God had planned for him.


Faithful Christians, Chris and Jessica truly love the Lord and each other. Their approach to marraige is a testimony for us all.

The ceremony was held in the family's back yard. It was a beautiful day for this warm and friendly setting. They wrote their own vows and they were sincere and poignant.

After some stirring testimonies sprinkled with plenty of comic relief, Jess and Chris enjoyed the rest of the evening dancing with friends and family.

Thank you Jess and Chris for what turned out to be more than just a wedding video for me! You can watch their highlights below.

Erica & Jason

Erica and Jason were married on May 2, 2010. This lovely couple were wed in a very touching Jewish ceremony at the Stony Hill Inn in Hackensack, NJ.

We got all pre-ceremony excitement and jitters, the groom showing a bit more nervous energy than the bride. Jason was endearing, and so kind... no doubt Erica made a great choice in a husband.

Erica looked stunning in her dress, bringing her bridesmaids to tears. But more importantly, when Jason saw Erica for the first time before the ceremony as part of the Jewish tradition, he became overwhelmed with emotions.

The ceremony was witnessed by many family and friends.

The reception was very festive as both families celebrated Erica and Jason. The band, Elegant Ensembles was fantastic.

Erica's family was a special blessing to me, as they have had to endure some hardships over the past few years. Despite their triublations, they were kind, loving, and gracious towards all.

Jason's family was the same, and I especially appreciated his father's good humor. What a fantastic day. I loved it from beginning to end. Check out some of the highlights below.

Sylwia & Mariusz

On a chilly and cloudy April day, Sylwia and Mariusz said their I Do's. They had a simple but beautiful wedding at a Our Lady of Czestochowa Church in a small Polish-American section of Brooklyn.

Sylwia and Mariusz had a small group of close friends and family to witness their union. Although the entire ceremony was done in Polish, I understood the important parts and captured their loving moments.

After the ceremony we all went to the Brooklyn Bridge to get some great shots there.

You can see the highlights below.

Jessica & Gregory

Jess and Greg were married on March 27, 2010. This quiet, humble couple was a delight to work with.

First, we got great video of Jess getting ready at her home in Fair Lawn, NJ. Jess and her army of bridesmaids gathered to share in Jess' excitement and anticipation. As she continued to get ready, I got some great shots of all the activity going on all around to include one family member fretting over a "zit" he said he had. His wife covered it up nicely!

When Jess was ready, everyone in the house was stunned at how amazing she looked. Some of the video I got of her in her dress was some of the best I've ever shot. Jess has amazing blue eyes, a wonderful smile, and a gracious personality.

The ceremony at St. Catharine Roman Catholic Church was beautiful. One of our camera was in a balcony with a view behind the alter - a unique vantage point that worked out very well.

When Jess came through the doors of the church, the sun outside lit her up like an angel (ok, I'm being a little dramatic) but by the look on Greg's face, he thought the same thing. Greg by the way was a complete gentleman, laser focused on Jess, and a pleasure to work with.

At least 150 people were on hand to see the two tie the knot. And then it was off to Macaluso's in Hawthorne, NJ for the reception. What a party!

The spread was the absolute best I've ever seen! Macaluso's does it right.

The introduction of the bridal party was classic, with bridesmaids and groomsmen delighting the crowd with crazy antics as they came down a staircase. One groomsman slid down on his belly - to which I learned later he sprained his wrist! It's not a party unless someone gets hurt!

The DJ, Elite Rhythms, was on top of it all night. Music was great, dancing was non-stop, and when the party came to an end, the room was still packed.

It was one of my better wedding experiences.
