We had a great time working with this couple. Notice everyone is smiling :) I love the shot of Kelly (the bride) crying after she and Jay see each other the first time.

Kelly and Jay we’re putting the finishing touches on your production. Here’s a preview of the highlights. I’ll be in touch soon.

A work of art-a highlight reel

We have been wanting to showcase the Cincinnati Art Museum as a venue for a wedding for a while. It was absolutely a perfect fit for Bethaine & Michael who had most of the Lifetime team on their wedding day. Dan, Mark and myself were a shooting tag team from morning until night.

A sincerly thanks to Jen Daut of Your Wedding by Jen for recommending Lifetime for this one.

“It’s a HUGE regret”-a highlight reel

September 20th, 2009 - 11:26am | by Matt Pine

This is the tale of two couples who were both married in 2009. One we shot and the other passed on a videographer for their day. The latter couple: Lauren & Trey, I met at a neighbor’s dinner party last month.

Married May 23rd in Connecticut, they felt like they were well over budget for video. “Like $9000.00 over, there just wasn’t room” Trey told me ” We honestly didn’t think we’d watch it, but maybe once or twice. Plus we’d booked a top notch photographer and felt we were covered”
“It’s a huge regret” Lauren added “What Trey’s not telling you is he balled like a baby when he saw me. We have the pictures to prove it, but I think a video would have been nice too. That moment and the entire day is a all a blur”.

The other couple is Lori and Rob, a production that we’ll be shipping out this week. I went back and re-edited the moment they see each other for the first time that day. I wanted to feature it more towards Rob’s perspective. His reaction is easily in our top 3 so far this year. But I also want to ask a question: If you knew your FI was going to have this kind of reaction, how much would you pay to have it captured forever? Think about it.

Lori and Rob, it’s a masterpiece. I’ll be in touch very soon:)

Love always, Erin-a highlight reel

One of our most popular suggestions to B&Gs is to write a letter to each other the night before their wedding. If you feel comfortable enough, we will record the AUDIO ONLY of you and your FI reading the letters. This gives our editors some really cool sound bites to use throughout your production.

Erin and Mark’s letters were from the heart and we have them tell their story in this highlight beautifully produced by Lifetime’s cinematographer Mark Fortner.

Your DVDs are in the mail Erin. We wanted to give you a little preview to help you through the long weekend:)

The Crying Room-a highlight reel

July 12th, 2009 - 7:56pm | by Matt Pine

There have been a few weddings that we have been a part of were something amazing happens. Everyone in the room gets teary eyed. “Not a dry eye in the house” they used to say. This happened twice in one night at this particular wedding. First Izzy’s dad got choked up talking about his daughter’s life with her new husband. Then Dan’s twin brother Dave gave a beautiful heart felt toast that moved us all.

Izzy and Dan it’s finished and the whole production came out perfect. I truly want to thank you for letting me tell your story. You both gave the Lifetime team SO much to work with.

I thought you’d enjoy one more preview before we send it off.

The groom’s reaction-a highlight reel

July 9th, 2009 - 12:31pm | by Matt Pine


There are certain things in life you can’t fake. Getting emotional the first time you see your bride walk down the aisle is one of them. This is a priceless moment in time. It’s also one we love to capture on film, b/c it’s real. Lead videographer Mark Fortner does an incredible job with this one.

Meet one of the nicest couples we ever had, Nicole & Mark. In fact the families on both sides were so kind. Special thanks to one of our favorite past B&Gs Megan & Mike for introducing us. We’re still putting this one together, but I promised the MOB Mary, I’d have a little preview for her before we delivered.

“This is the best limo ever!” – a wedding highlight

July 1st, 2009 - 10:47pm | by Dan Shallenberger

Spoken by Dillan, Jonathan and Camie’s son! As impressed with the limo that Dillan was, I was equally impressed with your wedding… absolutely gorgeous! Plus, working with the dynamic duo Geri and Tracy from Steve Lyons was a blast, as usual. Oh Camie, my wife LOVED your Jimmy Choo shoes.

You wedding video is finally finished. Matt should have everything ready for you very soon, but in the meantime, here’s your wedding highlight to give you a taste of what’s to come in your full video.

Enjoy!
