That’s how Alison responded when I told her that her trailer would be ready today. And I was excited to work on it!
Alison, there’s so much great footage from your wedding, it was really hard to choose what to use. But, I chose and it’s done! Your wedding day was just spectacular! And I LOVED the Paris theme at the reception. Nancy from Brideface had you looking absolutely stunning, and working with Cincy Event Planning was an awesome experience. Courtenay Lambert Floral, just amazing. And as always, Bambino was a blast.
Justin & Alison, enjoy your teaser trailer.

I love shooting Friday night weddings, and this was no exception. From the beautiful Knox Presbyterian church to the as usual stunning Drees Pavilion, everything was amazing. And working with April from Bluebird Photography and Steve Bender at the reception just topped off an incredible night.
Joel & Alli, your production is almost finished. We’ll be calling early next week! Here’s a sneak peek of the dvd opening. Big thanks to the amazing & talented Matt Pine for most of the shots in the middle of this opening.
Later,
Dan

We have booked some clients nearly 2 years in advance, never a few days before the wedding. Larissa reserved us less than 96 hours before the wedding. She thought she might like to remember this day. I am so glad she did:)
I think we captured some fantastic moments.
enjoy,

I love going on photo shoots. Most photographers make it fun and dynamic, which makes for great video… and Jacalyn Mains of JMM Photography came through! That was a fun photo shoot. And the usual outgoing group of guys give me plenty to shoot.
Kathy & Kevin, your video is almost ready! But while waiting for the dupes, here’s a sneak peak of the photoshoot at Eden Park.
Church: St Ignatius
Peace,

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.

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.
enjoy,

Jen and Paul were SO excited too see each other at the end of the aisle, they went to greet with a kiss. They then realized the Deacon was standing right there. Thou shalt wait until the end of the ceremony. One of the best moments in time you’ll see in the dramatic movie trailer of their wedding.
They had assembled the Cincinnati Wedding All Star Team:
(I love this time of year)
Robyn Jones and the Hilton- We’re so excited about your wedding later this summer:)
Steve Lyons Photography-one of my best buds in the industry
Rick & Kristen Kloth from Tres Chic Event Planning-The day ran perfect, you both truly make my job so easy.
Heidi McKenna- Make up- Great working with you.
The Band Airwaves-An amazing and very fun group.
Courtenay Lambert Florals-one of the best in the city. I owe you a Shock-Top beer.

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!
