PHiladelphia Wedding Video at Presidential Caterers

You can't ask for a more beautiful wedding day than the one that Jenna and Michael had. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and everything went according to plan.

The reception was held at the luxurious Presidential Caterers in Norristown, PA.

The reception was extended an hour and this meant more work for the DJ. But not when your DJ is Dave Schaffer from Schaffer Sound. While many DJ's can sometime struggle keeping people dancing for an hour or more, Dave kept the dance floor packed for three and a half hours. I don't know how he does it.

Photos for Chrissy and Bill

For Chrissy and Bill's wedding I worked with one of my most favorite people ever - Sarah Schulte. The only reason I didn't mention her in the post is because she's moving to Boston. Well actually she has already moved to Boston and has been commuting every weekend to finish up her obligations in Philly. So, sorry Philly - you can't hire her anymore. But her photos came out so wonderful, as always, that I still wanted to share them with people and hopefully some lucky couple is Boston will notice.

Check out Chrissy and Bill's photos here.

Philadelphia Wedding Video at the Glen Foerd Mansion

Geri and Nick came all the way from the Jersey shore to get married at the beautiful Glen Foerd Mansion. There is just nothing like this place throughout all of Jersey.

Paul and I had the pleasure of meeting and working with the very talented Lisa Rhinehart, whose pictures you can see on her blog here. These are Geri and Nick's engagement photos. Check back soon to see their wedding photos. I"m sure they'll be breath taking.

As you watch the video you'll see a team of very attractive ladies, working diligently to make the bridal party go from beautiful to gorgeous. The talented team of Nina and Danielle from Cheekadee Makeup Artists are always great to work with. You can see in the video that their work lasted up to and through the reception, which is a huge deal, since it was raining on and off all day.

Once the bridal party had their makeup on they were handed over to the very gifted hands of Ariella Landau for their hair. Her company is Fresh Breath of Hair and I strongly recommend her. The bride and her girls looked amazing all night long.

And the man assigned to get the bridal party to let down their hair and get all sweaty from dancing did exactly that. Jim Gosser from Synergetic Sound was great to work with and kept the dance floor going all night.

Philadelphia Wedding Video at The Airport Marriott

Chrissy is the sister of Maryanne, who's wedding I filmed three years ago. The flower girl is Maryanne's daughter and she is just the cutest little girl. The ceremony is at St. Dot's, which is one of the photo/video-friendliest churches in the Philadelphia area. It's big and bright and Father Murphy always comes through with a great homily.

The reception was a blast and we had the pleasure of working with Tom and Kristen Hefferon from Time Code DJ's, who kept the dance floor hoppin' all night. And if you stay until the end of the video you can see the first wedding Harlem Shake that I am aware of - all thanks to Tom and Kristen.

Delivering All In Digital

Times are changing. It's important that we change with them.

When I was a kid I remember getting our first VCR. The first movie we recorded was Rocky II off of HBO. Then along came the DVD, and eventually the Blu-Ray disc. From talking to couples I believe the adaption of Blu-Ray discs is extremely slow and is going to be surpassed by streaming media devices.

The reason I say this is because we all own streaming media devices already, but we just don't think of it that way. Your cable box is a streaming media device. Your cell phone is. Your XBOX, Wii and Playstation 3 all have the ability to play video files over the internet. I have an Apple TV in my home and I haven't inserted a DVD in a player in years. All my favorite movies and TV shows are available at the touch of a button. Even when I am away from home I can watch them on my iPhone and iPad.

I believe that creating DVDs and Blu-Ray discs adds lots of unnecessary time to our post production. So I will now be delivering all our weddings using digital streaming media files. Your files will be delivered on a flash drive. There will not be a change in price. Although the flash drives are more expensive than the materials for the DVDs, they will save me a lot of time so our delivery times will be faster. Digital files are also much easier to share, upload and archive.

Of course, if anybody still would like the DVDs and Blu-Ray we will create them upon request.
