Stefanie & Donald totally rocked Castle Hill on July 2nd, and Jeff and I were there to capture it all. Special thanks to Kevin, who helped with the editing and music choices…

Highlights were Bell Biv Devoe, customized Converse sneakers for the groom and his mates, and a bunch of good friends and family (most of which were DJ’s!)…

Enjoy!

Meanwhile, I’m slowly but surely editing all of the weddings from earlier in the summer.  Hang in there, people!  It’s worth the wait!

Here’s a highlight from Erica and Michael’s wedding at the Boston Public Library…

Kevin and I shot alongside two great photographers, Kristin & Jared Spencer, and we had an awesome time gathering motion pictures with two DSLR’s, a Panasonic HVX-200, and a small HD Sony camcorder.

As usual, Kristin got a shot of me shooting video from an absolutely ridiculous position. Let’s see if we can’t get her to send it on over!
By the way, those rocks were Brenton Point. If you haven’t been, go!

And, finally, I’m not sure if I mentioned here or not, but I was recently nominated for an Emmy for Best Documentary. The film I directed, On the Lake, didn’t win…but it was an honor to be nominated!

Stay tuned for some cool clips from Ocean Cliff on 6.6.10, with a beautiful sunset, handmade ice cream, and hand-rolled cigars.

On Saturday, Jeff and I traveled to Watertown, Massachusetts for the first wedding of the season with Ricky & Sylvia.  Here’s a little clip…as they see each other for the first time that day.

I’m thinking about doing a package that is simple and affordable, yet really beautiful and awesome.  And I’ve been shooting a lot lately with the Canon family of still cameras that are delivering just amazing images in stunning full-frame HD.  So how about a few wedding short films?

I’ll cover the major portions of the day and deliver a simple, yet amazing short movie of your wedding day, complete with music and credits.

I have a few dates still available in 2010 and early 2011.  Call me and let’s talk.  You get an inexpensive, unbelievable wedding video and I get a new demo reel for a new idea.  Everyone wins!

Sept. 2009 at Glen Manor in Portsmouth.
This camera is so cool.
