Congrats to this amazing couple and their families on this wonderful celebration!

Weddings in the time of Covid-19 - Thinking outside the box

Microweddings, Minimonies, Sequel Weddings- these are just a few of the new terms popping up as couples scramble to find options for their weddings impacted by the pandemic. While many couples will simply reschedule, others may look for alternatives to tie the knot. Wedding planning sites like the Knot and WeddingWire are filled with examples of couples creatively “re-designing” their wedding plans.

While we hope all of our clients find the best option, we want you to know that we are committed to capturing each wedding in whatever way works for you. We are totally game for working with you creatively to film your event(s) in a way that tells the story of your relationship and marriage. Here are just a few ideas to consider in this age of the pandemic.

  • Virtual Ceremony Broadcasts - your ceremony with a limited number of guests broadcast live in HD from our professional cinema cameras (not an iPad propped up on chair:)). This live feed can go directly to your audience on Facebook, YouTube or anywhere, and would of course be recorded

  • Smaller Pre-Wedding Events - If you can’t do the big bang, make it a multiple event affair with pre wedding day parties, private or small ceremony, and a full reception at a later date when it’s safe again. We’ll take all the footage from these events and weave them into a beautiful and unique story.

  • Relationships Stories- an intimate mini-doc with you as the stars. Let your guests get to know more about you as individuals and as a couple. I’ve filmed a few of these in the past and the reaction from everyone was amazing.

We know this is a stressful time for everyone so just know that we’ll always do our best to be flexible and supportive in this time of uncertainty. Please reach out if you have any questions on our offerings or would like to discuss any ideas related to your upcoming wedding.

Peace

To quote Meghan, “so good” sums up this spectacular wedding day for Meghan and Rob. The day was filled with so much emotion, love, laughter - and surprises.

Kristan and Mike's Wedding Highlight

Having known Kristan and Mike for many years, I knew they were going to make this an extraordinary wedding day. Starting in the quiet beach town of Brigantine, Kristan and the girls shared lots of fun getting ready, then were joined by the guys for photos and Mike’s “first look” with Kristan. The pace picked up from there as everyone moved across the bay to the Hard Rock in Atlantic City. An inspiring outdoor ceremony was followed by the awesome party inside featuring the amazing Rockets. Both Kristan and Mike showed off their performance chops to join the band for an awesome night of dancing, singing and merriment. Congrats to these two great people on this wonderful day!
