And finally, I wanted to share these last two clips from Elysium Productions (the amazing production company that shot Laurie and George’s wedding on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County…for all of you Bravo junkies out there). The first is a demo clip which I just thought was so much fun, I had to share. Plus, it won Best In Show at the Artistic Achievement Awards put on by the 4Ever Group…
The second clip is a sample of Elysium’s trademarked “Arthouse Edits.” This Arthouse film is actually very special because it was the wedding of Gary Fong and Melissa Carl. Gary Fong is a very famous photographer turned inventor, and he creates products for photographers. Ask any photographer and they’ll know who he is! There were only about 40 guests at his wedding, most of which were very well known photographers. Bottom line…if someone like Gary Fong chooses this company, you KNOW they are good!
This next film, shot by Weddings on Film, is absolutely beautiful…

The choice of music paired with the stunning images from the wedding…so romantic. This bride is a reporter for NBC. She is insanely gorgeous and it seems that her beauty just leaked into every element of the wedding! But, what I really love about this clip is the approachability of it. The dogs with their cute pearl collars, the best friends helping the bride and groom to get ready…it’s real and honest, with a touch of humor.
This particular clip, from Tangerine Media is a 2 minute trailer for a wedding that took place in Riviera Maya Mexico…
It’s just so lovely! Makes me want to drop everything I am doing and book a trip to Mexico. It really captures the feeling behind the wedding, the gorgeous colors that are so vibrant and alive, the absolute beauty of the day. And the happiness. The bride, the guests, everyone is so happy….you just know that this wedding was special.
Wedding Cinematography is one of those things that may or may not make it on to your wedding checklist. I debated whether to hire a videographer for months, as the added expense seemed to tip the scale just a bit too far. In the end, we did hire someone to film the wedding and to this day….I think that it was the best decision we made throughout the planning process.
I’ve probably watched my wedding video twenty or thirty times since I got married. Every time, I see something different, something that the photos didn’t catch…a small expression from my dad, or an insanely awkward dance move from my aunt. The video reminds me of my day in a way that photos simply can’t.
