Ashley & Andrew | Kool Beach Club | November 2011

Super 8mm film and a client selected soundtrack. Ashley and Andrew had a vision. Watching super 8 footage of their wedding with Feist in the background. I love to realize my client's vision. When couples are serious about music they often send me 5 or more songs that they've thought very carefully about. Something really special happens when I put their footage to these songs. I see things that I may have missed before and it becomes very apparent why they picked these particular songs. They fit so well together.

Jessie & Chris | Azul Sensatori | October 2011

I call them Authentic Cinematic Wedding Films on the front page of our website. The "Authentic" part means that I draw as much as I can from the day itself and minimize what I add later in post. I use the natural sound and the music you play during your wedding day. Often I get all the music I need for the video from the ceremony and reception music.

Here we start with the ceremony on the skydeck at Azul Sensatori on the Carribean coast. We pick up the live sound of the bridal entrance music and extend that through the selected shots of the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony we pick up the live sound as they exit and extend that song through the photo session. We wrap up with selected shots from the toasts and the live sound and music of the first dance. Every song has context in the film because it's the music that was part of the day. It provides the authentic experience of that day through sound, visuals and music.
