Yamilet + Jordan's Wedding Highlights - San Juan, Puerto Rico
Happy New Year!
For the last day of the year I want to share with you Yamilet + Jordan's Highlights film. I have held this back because they wanted to share it with their family during Christmas before it went online. They said it was wonderful to watch it with all their love ones and relive the day together!
This wedding was simply amazing and fun. Yamilet is from Puerto Rico and Jordan is from New Orleans. They combined both of their worlds for this one of a kind celebration.
Here is what they had to say about their film -
"Well - I'm officially at a loss for words. The job you and your crew did for us was absolutely incredible. You captured any and everything we could have imagined on that day. We can truly say you made us feel like movie stars - just without all the Hollywood drama :) As I said before, I'm genuinely sad that the wedding prep is over and that we don't get to work with you guys anymore......but that's why we have anniversaries, haha. I just want to again thank you for the personal imprint you have made in our life. We will never forget you guys."
So sit back and enjoy their Highlights Film -

Kelly + Brian's Wedding Trailer
Kelly & Brian contacted me last year about filming their wedding in Dayton, Ohio. Brian is a wedding filmmaker, so I was very flattered that they wanted us to film their day.
Kelly & Brian's wedding took place at Carillon Historical Park. It's comprised of old buildings and antique trains as well as other pieces of Dayton history. It created a great backdrop to a amazingly fun wedding. There will be more to come in the Highlights Film, but first I wanted to introduce you to Kelly & Brian and their beautiful love.

Ali + Spencer's Wedding Trailer - Florence, Italy
Ali & Spencer's wedding in Italy was a dream come true. Ali had visited Chiesa Di San Biagio in Montepulciano, Italy, when she was in college and dreamt of returning to be married there one day. It was hands down the most beautiful church I've ever filmed.
You couldn't ask for a more perfect day, a beautiful wedding in a 15th century church followed by an amazing reception at Castello di Vincigliata!
Ali says it best here -
"The whole week was amazing. Having the group grow each day that went by coming up to the date of the wedding was so incredible. Our dinners got bigger each night with all the guests arriving into town to a final total of 80 people making it all the way over to Italy for our celebration. That was truly amazing in and of itself. If I had to pick one part of the wedding day that was my favorite, it has to be dancing our first dance and having the amazing firework show start in the middle of our dance. That was truly spectacular!"
So sit back and enjoy Ali + Spencer's wedding trailer!

April + Adam's Xcaret, Mexico Wedding Highlights
What an amazingly fun wedding this was! April and Adam's wedding was held at Xcaret Eco Park just outside Playa del Carmen, Mexico. This 200 acre park had so much diversity, from a turtle filled lagoon, Jaguars, Mayan Ruins to a spectacular underground cave! The ceremony took place at St. Francis chapel followed by a cocktail hour at the ancient Mayan ruins. The guests then walked down a spiral path with warriors blowing into conch shells that led into this giant, amazing cave where the reception was held. It was breathtaking!
We had such a great time working with Adam and April, you can tell that they had the time of their lives as well. I love our couples, they are awesome!
