One of my personal favorite times of the year to shoot a wedding is within the first 2 weeks of April. Everything is in bloom and feels so fresh and new.
Meet Tim and Kelly, an amazing couple that always had a smile on their faces (making our job easy). We were blessed to work with Amanda, Jerri & Susan some of the wonderful people from Images by Daniel Michael. My old friend Newmar Maize of Maize Music had the dance floor packed at the reception.
Emily and Michael pulled out all the stops with this jaw dropping wedding. Everything took place in the historic Hall of Mirrors March 27th. There were some amazing moments including this cute little ring bearer who decided to stop right in front of my camera to give me his best smile.
This was our first time working with Jo Panarello of Panarello Consulting who was assisted by my dear friend Joyce Smith of Weddings Unlimited . Ashley Judy of the Hilton, Goodwin Lighting and the incomparable Robin Wood of Robin Wood Flowers joined forces to transform the Hall into an astonishing work of art. Please note the time lapse shot of all this, as the room comes together right after the wedding. The icing on the cake was having the The Mystics perform. Emily even got up on stage to dance with them!
Special thanks to Mike Bresnen for recommending Lifetime for this one.
If you hired Lifetime to capture your day, you’ll get a bonus. We love to surprise brides. It may be a “Blooper Reel” or maybe a hidden “Easter Egg” in the Special Features section of your DVD to reveal footage not included in the original version. Here we put together a special surprise for Tori and Brad announcing their wedding film was finished. We’re delivering this production later this week!
It’s so much fun getting to see what the fellows are doing getting ready for the wedding. Here’s the guys opening from Tori and Brad’s upcoming wedding film.
Sometimes couples get a little anxious right before they exchange wedding vows. This is one of those times. Meet one of my personal favorite bride and grooms of 2009, Corrine and Brad. The Lifetime team spent morning until night with this amazing couple and captured some very funny moments.
Meet Tori & Brad. They came to Lifetime from Sara & Brad an amazing couple we worked with in September. “I really didn’t budget for a wedding film” Tori told me “But after I saw what you do, I have to have it”. Her conviction and enthusiasm was so strong, I just really wanted to make her day incredible. Tori and Brad put together the Cincinnati wedding vendor “Dream Team” with the spectacular Hall of Mirrors as the backdrop.
This is just a small preview of things to come.
enjoy,

I can not stress how important audio is in your wedding film. Here at Lifetime, we have a separate audio specialist who’s sole job is to capture audio at both the wedding and reception. We then come back here to our studio and re-mix it before adding it to the video footage we have shot. Adding your voices speaking to each other through either letters or just conversations on your wedding day adds a whole new level to your production. Meet Lisa and Brent. They both wrote letters to each other the night before their wedding. I then mixed different segments of both, having Brent’s opening and then let Lisa close. There was plenty of emotion during the entire day (which make our job easier).
The Lifetime team really enjoyed ourselves at this one and are looking forward to shooting Lisa’s sister Lindsay’s wedding in April.
Your emotions can run wild sometimes on your wedding day. Crying because you’re happy happens a lot. As it did on November 14th for Kristen as you’ll see. We’re having a lot of fun putting this one together.
Kristen and Andy, this is just a preview of things to come.
Erin and Craig could not wait to get married, just watch their facial expressions in this highlight reel.
We’re putting the finishing touches on this productions and thought you two might like a little preview.
