Maria & Bobby coming soon!

Posted on August 13, 2015
by Kurt Maechner

Beth and I are looking forward to filming Maria and Bobby’s wedding this weekend.  First of all, it’s fun for us because we both taught Maria and Bobby when they were in high school.  They’ve been dating for 8 years and it’s a thrill to finally see them become husband and wife!

It will also be a fun wedding because of the many Greek traditions planned, including the wearing of crowns at the ceremony at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church as well as a traditional Greek dance led by the bride herself!

Finally, we get to film with our friends and partners at Imagine It Photography again!

Brad & Lauren’s Wedding Highlight

Posted on August 10, 2015
by Kurt Maechner

Beth and I simply loved getting to know Bradly and Lauren.  They just, well, enjoyed each other!  And you can see it and feel it.  It was a pleasure to be a part of their big day.  When we had them over our house before the wedding to talk about their film it was fun to hear them share how much they love to just be together and talk and talk.

 

One of our favorite moments was catching Lauren’s sister Melissa’s face as she looked over at Brad’s beaming face as he watched his bride walk down the aisle.  Another one of our favorite moments was when Lauren’s dad danced with his daughter.  They started out doing the traditional slow dance and then, without notice, broke into a full-out rockin’ boogie!

Congratulations again, Bradly and Lauren!

Chris & Hope’s Wedding Film!

Posted on July 20, 2015
by Kurt Maechner

Chris and Hope’s wedding mixed the beauty of tradition and uniqueness.  It was our first wedding of this summer with the ceremony inside a church, Messiah Lutheran.  Several of the most powerful moments of the day happened there as we saw both of their sets of parents worshipping with passionate hearts and contented smiles.  Our favorites, though, were catching Chris looking heavenward and Hope, eyes closed in prayer, and basking in the pleasure of God’s love.  The best part is to have actually caught this on camera too!

Then the uniqueness began as we celebrated their reception at The Fuller House at Bay Arts.  Moved from its original location by barge on Lake Erie in 1984, this historical home has been converted to the most unique ceremony location we have seen this year.  It was adorned with so many little details, chalk signs, nooks and crannies, and twinkly lights!
The miracle of the day was the fact that it rained-and I mean rained-all morning.  The forecast said to expect that rain straight through to the reception.  Well, low and behold, shortly before the arrival of Chris and Hope at the church, it tapered off.  We were able to film them outside at Huntington Beach and in a lovely wildflower field with nary a drop!

This past Saturday we had the honor of filming the wedding of Brad and Lauren.  They were such a sweet couple!  We spent a lot of great time capturing Lauren and her bridesmaids getting ready.  They were so welcoming-even offering us a chance to partake in some much-appreciated Subway sandwiches!

Below are just a few photos from our amazing photography partners at Imagine It Photography.  Stephanie and John do amazing work.  For more photos of Brad and Lauren’s wedding, click here.

Beth and I have our creative juices flowing as we continue to create Brad and Lauren’s wedding film. We’re really liking it!  We’ll keep you posted on the progress.

Will & Morgan’s Wedding Film!

Posted on July 3, 2015

You couldn’t have asked for a more stunning, summer day for a wedding when Will and Morgan got married outdoors with a glistening Lake Erie as a backdrop.  Then we got to catch them on film as they walked the wooded grounds of Camp Luther.  After a stop at the brewery where they met, we headed off to a reception full of surprise choreography, dance antics, and lots of laughter.

Enjoy their wedding film as much as we enjoyed producing it!
