  4. CHRISTINE AND DAVID

    Posted September 1th, 2009
    This wedding came to us through our good friend MJ.  MJ is a fellow videographer and has helped us with music videos in the past. He introduced Christine (the beautiful bride) to us and the rest is history! Christine and David were such a pleasure to work with, and we couldn’t have had more fun filming their wedding.

  5. KRISTAN AND STEVE//MEADOWLARK GARDENS

    Posted July 18th, 2009
    Getting the chance to work with Kristan and Steve couldn’t have been more of a pleasure for us. When I sat down and chatted with them about doing a video, it was to my surprise to find out Steve was the drummer for the band that played during a wedding we shot awhile back for Justine and Gary (Justine was also their photographer for the day). Naturally he saw the video, and said its what prompted him and Kristan to want to meet and ultimately book us. They were so fun to get to know, and it’s always an extra treat when you work with other artists (Kristan is a musician as well).

    Meadowlark Gardens couldn’t be a better place to be shoot a wedding either.  We spent almost 2 hours outside walking around the gardens because there was so much natural light and scenery. Thanks Kristan and Steve! We also posted some pictures below from Justine.  Be sure to see the whole slideshow here though.  Enjoy!

    This was a wedding I did at the end of the summer.  A lot of fun stuff on the beach!  Stephanie and Joey were married at Grace Baptist Church in Bowie, Maryland with a beautiful reception to follow over the bay bridge on the eastern shore.  Stephanie and Joey were so much fun to work with and they are such amazing people! Below were some fun stills I pulled from the video.
