One of the interesting things about being a wedding videographer is seeing how each wedding is so unique and personal.  So much time, thought and effort has gone into creating a unique and special day for the couple, while their friends and family surround them with love and support.  I just loved how Katie + Joshua accomplished this through their recent wedding at Edson Hill Manor in Stowe, VT.  Countless hours went into the planning and design of all the details from the invites + programs, to the ceremony and every little detail in the reception.  Katie + Joshua did it ALL. 

It was such an amazing day and I feel so honored to have been there to capture it all for them on video.  Enjoy the Sneak Peek.  Much love!

Hello everyone!  I hope this blog finds you well.  Summer is coming to an end and our season is winding down so I thought I would take a moment to look back at some awesome weddings we were honored to share in since I fell off the blogging bandwagon there for a bit.

Katie + Glenn got married at Church Landing at the Inn and Spa at Mill Falls in Meredith back at the end of July.  They were so much fun to work with and I loved all their nautical details!  They live down in Florida, so we didn't actually get to meet until their big day but through the magic of Facebook I got to know them a little bit before and knew it was going to be awesome.  As we've seen a bit more this season, couples are taking the time to write their own vows and so did Katie + Glenn.  Glenn had a hard time getting his vows out without getting emotional, which shows the sincerity and love in the relationship.  You can't help but laugh and cry with him on this one.

I can't thank Katie + Glenn enough for letting me share in such an amazing day and capturing it all on video for you!  Here's their Sneak Peek!  Enjoy!

Off the coast of Portland, Maine in Casco Bay you will find numerous islands, only accessable by Ferry, private water taxi or of course your own boat.  Some privately owned, some with summer only residents and some with year round residents.  One of the furthest out is Cliff Island.  This island holds a very special place in Abby's heart and it is where Abby + Darr chose to start their lives as husband and wife.

Now, most couples would be frantic about the fact that a Tropical Storm was predicted for their wedding day.  Not Abby + Darr!  They had faith that all would work out and their positive thinking came through!  Tropical Storm Andrea passed through New England and up the coast of Maine, Friday and into Saturday and just hours before their outdoor wedding was scheduled to start, the winds calmed and the sun came out.  Nestled in a cove where the wind was less prevelant, Abby + Darr exchanged vows and then got down and dirty with lobster!  It was a very quaint and intimate day with just under 100 guests and I feel so honored to have been able to capture these moments for Abby + Darr.  Check out their Sneak Peek below.

Hi everyone, I hope this blog finds you well and that you're enjoying summer!  Last October my cousin Greg got married in Boston and we provided him and Shannon with video coverage for their wedding day.  Well, at the end of June I traveled to the Canadian Lakes in scenic central Michigan to capture Shannon's sister's day!

Lisa & Pat had such an amazing day.  The weather was a bit hot and humid but it didn't seem to phase anyone.  They had their ceremony at a quaint church and then reception at the Tullymore Golf Resort with cocktail hour held at a private cottage on the lake.  It was a simply beautiful & elegant wedding, nothing over the top extravagant, and it was all the little details that made it so special for Lisa & Pat.  One of Lisa's bridesmaid's is a shoe designer and she designed and made Lisa's shoes, complete with their names & wedding date stiched in on the inside of the shoes, and the words to their first dance on the bottom.  Lisa arrived to the church in a '64 Continental which was so very classic, and then Lisa & Pat left in the same car after the ceremony.  The dancing part of the reception was outside on the patio which provided for just an outstanding atmosphere. 

There were so many things I wanted to put into the Sneak Peek film, but you can never fit it all.  You've got to save something for the full film anyways, right?  =)  I can not thank Lisa & Pat enough for allowing me to share in their day and capture these memories for them.  I hope you enjoy the Sneak Peek!  All my best, Jaime
