Kristen & Chris...

Had soooo much fun filming Kristen and Chris's wedding day. We met Kristen and Chris through Kristen's uncle Joe. Uncle Joe is a talented musician who we created a promo film for last year. Joe wanted to give his neice a really cool wedding gift so he decided to supply the band, DJ, and a wedding film of the day. Bet you wish you had an uncle Joe like that!!! Kristen, Chris and the whole rest of the family were so nice and down to earth... made our job easy:)
Here's a couple comments from Kristen on Facebook...

"Check out the video my uncle posted from our wedding!!! It is absolutly amazing :) Our videographer is outstanding !! And a extra special thanks to my Uncle Joey who made sure our special day was caught on video by none other than the absolute best!! Love you :)"

"got the finished copy of our wedding video last night :) Shane Tincu is an amazing videographer!!! I felt like I was watching a full production film :) He captured everything and it was just the most amazing thing I have ever seen...I will probably be watching that video multiple times today :) It was nice to revisit that day through his work!!! What a Party we had :) wanted to dance again just watching it!"

TuAhn & Zachary...

Well... another FUN wedding!
Tu Ahn and Zach are originally from the Lansing, Michigan area but now live in Alabama so most of our correspondence was unfortunately through email. I finally got to meet Tu Ahn in person a month or so before the wedding and I knew right away that it was going to be a fun event!
She was funny and sarcastic (just like me) and was full of stories about her and Zach.
We had never filmed a Vietnamese wedding so we were definitely looking forward to seeing the different traditions! One tradition that we really LOVED and have talked about many times since was the eleven course dinner... seriously! Including crab, lobster, squid, shrimp, beef tenderloin, and an entire 25" fried walleye. It was an AWESOME spread! Family and friends had a blast eating and dancing the night away. Another thing I have to mention is that to successfully film an event dosen't only require an awesome venue and couples but also other great vendors. That said we had the opportunity to work with a photographer that we had never worked with before... Larissa Christine Photography. If you haven't seen her work, check it out!
Best wishes to Tu Ahn and Zach on their future together as Mr. and Mrs. Zachary Ostrander!

Sarah and Chuck...

If you look up the word "bliss" in the dictionary (Sarah and Chuck Bliss) it says "happiness and joy". I think their last name explains their wedding day perfect!
I talked to Sarah the day before her wedding and everything was going as planned except the weather.. rain was in the forecast! Driving to the bridal preps, I knew she was going to be bummed that is was foggy and starting to mist... I felt bad for her. Once we arrived to their suite at the Marriott Renaissance Center the love and excitement in the room pretty much made you forget about the threatening weather outside. Then a funny thing happened... Sarah slipped into her wedding dress and the clouds broke and the sun came out... it was a "bliss" moment:) Turned out to be a beautiful day... I love when that happens! The wedding ceremony was at St. Hyacinth Roman Catholic Church in Detroit. The church screamed HISTORY, it was beautiful! Our next stop was at the Heidelberg Project. Not sure how to explain the Heidelberg project other then to say if you have never seen it, you should check it out! Great place for a photo session.
Our final destination was the Century Banquet Center in Sterling Heights. Sarah and Chuck are HUGE dog lovers and you could tell by some of the decorations... dog cans painted and used as table vases, a dog statue cake topper, dog rescue donation made in lue of table favors... it was AWESOME! There was a vintage style candy station set up by Sarah's father for the kids, however, I think the adults enjoyed it more:)
So glad to have had the opportunity to capture Sarah and Chuck's special day and to once again work with one of our favorite photographers in Michigan Marek Dziekonski Photography!

Nikky & Emmanuel...

This was our first Nigerian Wedding and I must say... it was crazy fun! Nikky and Emmanuel were a total pleasure to work with. :) One thing we weren't expecting was all the beautiful bright colored outfits and hats.... LOVED IT! Can't wait to see the photos from the very talented Jeffrey Lewis Bennett from JLB Wedding! Jeffrey wasn't the only all star vendor on site, we also had the pleasure of working with Ana and her crew from TwoFoot Creative and Bill Hamilton with Bill Hamilton Designs. We wish Nikky and Emmanuel a long beautiful life together!

Kerry & DeRone...

I sometimes feel sorry for other film makers in Michigan because I book the coolest couples and Kerry and DeRone are no exception! We started out the day with the girls at Kerry's parents beautiful home just off the Detroit River. Then it was off to Robert's River Walk Hotel to meet up with the guys and film Kerry and DeRone's first look along the river. Next stop was the Roostertail for the ceremony and reception. The ceremony was beautiful, Kerry and DeRone wrote their own vows and they were so ready to be married! The reception was a blast, the bride and groom came in the door dancing and pretty much kept dancing all night!

Pooja's Baby Shower...

That's right, we now shoot baby showers! We were recently asked by one of our favorite wedding and event DJ's in Detroit (DJ Naveen Productions) if we would be interested in shooting his wife's baby shower. It's going to be their first baby and and I'm not sure who is more excited... Mom or Dad:) Pooja's family is in India so they couldn't be at the baby shower so Naveen wanted to make sure it was well documented so they could still be a part of the special day. What a great family!
We wish the best for Pooja and Naveen on the arrival of their baby boy next month!

Weddings @ The Big House...

Last week the ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) members had the opportunity to check out a hot new Ann Arbor venue... The Big House! The University Of Michigan is finishing up a multi- million dollar renovation to the athletic facility and they will now be hosting space for weddings and other events. It's not cheap to rent, but if you're a die hard Wolverine fan you can now walk out the tunnel, get married on the football field, dance in a club suite, tour the locker room and even have the marching band play for you... okay, the band costs a little extra:)
I created a short video of the event... hope you enjoy it!
