For all of you new AND seasoned "vintage lovers" out there, this E*film from Mike Cyr at Buzz Media Company will be right up your alley!
From Mike at Buzz Media ... Meg and Ty (and Norah!) were made for Super 8 films with their sweet, simple, classic old-school sensibilities. This Super 8 medium...
It's the fourth day of SMP's tribute to the cinematographers in our Little Black Book who work tirelessly to give us all just a brief glimpse back in time to that day ... that one really special day ... that is YOUR new beginning. And it seems only fitting to bring you this highlight film from United Wedding Productions of Lisa and Yen's 2009 wedding. ...
We ASKED our LBB cinematographers to send us their favorite clips from this past year. We are die-hard wedding video people. No kidding, right? After a week full of wedding films ... from simple and pretty to elegant and posh ... you have to know that! Seriously.
I ASKED Joe Simon to let us post this short December wedding film. Because, to me, this IS what "it" is all about. These...
As we continue on with more 2009 favorites from our SMP cinematographers ...
Imagine ... you're married! All the months and months of planning and stressing about the details are over. And you almost can't believe it ~ it went by so fast! Now, it's time to celebrate ... there's nothing but fun in store for you and your sweetie!! After a few quick shots with your photographer, you head on over to the reception and voilá! A same-day-edit film from YOUR WEDDING is prepped and...
This week, we thought it would be fun for you too see a few of the weddings that made our hearts flutter over the past year... a few that we just can't get out of our heads. I loved seeing everyone's picks and the reasons they loved each wedding so much. Eddye fell hard for this Illinois winery wedding from...
When we asked Style Me Pretty's LBB cinematographers to send us one of their favorite films from this past year, I have to confess, I had no clue what the difference between a highlight or a trailer was. Might not sound like a big deal to you, but for me, a blog editor, that's pretty sad. And I was pretty embarrassed to ask anyone about it. Thanks to...
As we continue our quest to pay homage to the filmmakers around this wonderful world of weddings, we come back to Boston!
Ben and Edie were married at the Boston Harbor Hotel in a ceremony that incorporated elements of both of their heritages ~ Cambodian and Jewish. The ceremony was performed by his uncles, Jerry and...
This, the second day of our tribute week to the talented men and women of the wedding film industry is drawing to an end with an emotion-packed highlight film from Grace and Russ' gorgeous wedding from Awesome Shot Studios. We talk frequently about why you must consider having a cinematographer present on your wedding day. This week, we're trying not to beat that into your brains ... we're hoping that by...
Last night I read a post on Vantage Point's blog. It is a piece about the up-side and down-side of being in the wedding film industry. A Story About Love (by Laura) is about a very special group of people ... their fellow wedding filmmakers.
Odetta (originally from Albania) and Brett (originally from Australia), met at the immigration authority applying for American citizenship! As the ultra-talented Naomi Raiselle at Generations Cinemastories tells, the rest is history!
As you watch their story, you'll see the total and unabashed love on Odetta and Brett's faces every second of the day ...
While we hear the term vintage in the wedding world alot, I think that the quaint elegance of the Barr Mansion ~ the site of Rick & Jennifer's November wedding ~ is more accurately described as antique chic! Maybe that sounds silly. Vintage vs. antique? But from someone who grew up amid rustic Texas primitive homes, there's a huge difference to me. Anyway ... this Victorian home was built in 1898 by WB Barr...
It's rare that we publish a trash the dress session. And although the dress in this film does take quite a beating, it's really not about that! This film is SO full of energy and SO full of life that I couldn't help busting out in a huge grin! This shoot from Blue Skies Cinema is just an amazing example of the aura of out & out glee surrounding this bride on her big day. This bride OWNS her...
As promised in our earlier post, a week jam-packed with weddings from 2009 to inspire you ... to fill your senses with beauty and emotion ... and to recognize Style Me Pretty's terrific family of cinematographers!
Leading off this week's "Year In Review" from one of SMP's shining stars is a dazzling LA wedding from Curtis & Laura Heyne and the Living Cinema team ...
Heather and Chris were...
We have sooooo many fantastic wedding cinematographers who are a part of our Style Me Pretty family. Throughout the year, they send us many wonderful submissions and though we love and respect them all so much ... we don't run all that many film features on the LBB blog. I just wanted to take a quick minute to try to explain why...
Photos are our bread and butter. Not in a monetary sense, but in an image-based blog such as we have, they ARE the story. They are the inspiration...
For most of you, this has probably been a hectic, but hopefully happy week! It's hard to get everything done and still enjoy the 'reason for the season'. It's one of those things that I have to force myself to do. Stop. Breathe. Just enjoy the moments.
And so, from me to all of you ... our readers, our Little Black Book members ... my wish for you this weekend is to find peace and to celebrate love!
...
If you are a romantic ... if you are passionate about your wedding day ... if you want to remember it in ALL it's glory ... Sharrone is THE cinematographer for you!
Watch ... and behold Fiore Films in Action!
Seriously terrific!
A few excerpts from...
Continuing on with our call for Award-Winning Wedding Photography from our LBB photographers ... today's gorgeous images are from the equally gorgeous Steve DePino ...
These images haven't officially won any awards (yet), but in our books, they should! Steve took part in this terrific Holiday Photo Shoot that Abby featured a few days ago on SMP. He was there as the dashing groom!
Before I head out for the day to start (yes, start) my Christmas shopping, I wanted to begin our Holiday Film Fest! Over the next two weeks, we're going to be bringing you wedding film after wedding film to drool and envy over ... to make you get serious about all the different styles of film making choices that are "out there" and to simply remind you what this whole glorious business is all about!
Our LBB cinematographers have been sorely under-represented on the LBB blog ...
Well ... we wanted to take a few days off to finish up our holiday shopping (dare I say 'start' our shopping?!) ... and so we put out a 911 for some quick, easy posts from our LBB photographers and cinematographers. From the photographers, we asked for a peek at some of their award winning photos and wow did we get a lot of really terrific wedding shots!
So we're kicking it off today ... the first of our Holiday Hiatus from full real-wedding posts on the LBB blog. Instead, we're...
We TOTALLY love it when we are allowed to take part in a couple's journey from their engagement story through to their wedding story. When we first saw Jen and Matt ~ told you how they met and shared...
