NikkiBen | Quirky in love {same day edit}

Nikki + Ben had a ridiculously cool wedding at the beautiful Mandarin Oriental in Boston, with a delicious rehearsal dinner the night before at Turner Fisheries. We were there to capture it all and pull off a same day edit on a very tight timeline.  This creative couple had some awesome details throughout all aspects of their wedding and even had a frozen yogurt machine and crepes later on in the evening!

Nikki + Ben had a great team wedding pros for the day… We really loved working with their photographer Eric Limon for the first time and his work is incredible. For me one of the most fun parts of the day was when he took them on a quick walk through the city streets. Revelation Productions did a phenomenal job with the lighting as you’ll see, the ballroom there is always incredible but it looks and feels completely different with great lighting. The world famous Winston Flowers did an absolutely beautiful job with the arrangements. For music they had one of Boston’s hottest band’s District 21 who sounded fantastic and kept the dance floor packed all night.

Ben is the founder and CEO of Quirky, where Nikki also works as well. The business model for Quirky has got to be one of the coolest business concepts I’ve ever heard of and if you haven’t heard the name you soon will. Got an idea for a product you want to invent? Submit it to Quirky and if its a brilliant idea they’ll help put it into production. In fact on their website right now you can check out the trailer to ‘Quirky,’ a new series on the Sundance Channel that premiers August 30th at 10pm.

Enjoy their SDE…

Deb + Ian | Willowdale Estate wedding feature film teaser

A few weeks ago we filmed Deb + Ian’s wedding at the gorgeous Willowdale Estate in Topsfield. It is without question one of my favorite venues around Boston and it is so much fun to film there! The entire team is really great to work with and the location is spectacular.

We also got to work with Mark of Mark Davidson Photography… He has a really awesome approach and was great to work with. Mark presented a same day edit of some of his photos later in the evening which was done really well. He’s also a great natural light shooter which I enjoy and certainly helps us make an even better film.

Most importantly Deb + Ian were really awesome and I knew from our first meeting they were going to have an amazing wedding and it would be so much fun to film their day. So here is a quick tease of their feature film…

With the ceremony setup outside and only an hour to go, will the rain let up long enough?

Ilanna + Noam | trailer

Here is a small taste of what’s to come… On November 22nd Kurt and I filmed Ilanna and Noam’s wedding at the beautiful Boston Park Plaza. This was our first Jewish wedding and knowing this Ilanna and Noam certainly put a lot of trust in us… that is something I really appreciated. So once I reviewed the day’s itinerary I offered to extend the coverage a couple hours so we could get some great shots of Ilanna getting ready and truly capture her wedding day. I’m sure glad I did because Ilanna got ready in the presidential suite which was breathtaking with great views of Boston from every window on an absolutely gorgeous fall day. Despite this wedding being a bit different for us I’d say the day went really smooth from a filmmaking perspective, and thanks to all the information and a DVD she shared with us ahead of time we were well prepared.
