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. Check out quirky.com to watch the trailer to their show and check out some of their amazing products.

Enjoy their SDE…

Kerry + Steven | a Boston wedding film trailer

Kerry and Steven were married in early November at St. Leonard’s church in the North End with their reception at the stunning Mandarin Oriental. They had an absolutely beautiful wedding and we had so much fun capturing their day!


We were also lucky to work with an all-star team of vendors for Kerry and Steven’s wedding! We got to shoot alongside Ned Jackson again, who is undoubtably one of Boston’s best wedding photographers and awesome to work with. Michelle Schaufeld, their day of coordinator was super helpful – as was Gina, the coordinator at the Mandarin. Their band was Eye to Eye who sounded amazing and kept everyone dancing all night! Winston Flowers was the floral designer and did an incredible job with the floral arrangements. Their lighting designer was Suzanne B. Lowel Lighting Design. We’ve also had the opportunity to work with them a couple times and their work is absolutely phenomenal.

Enjoy their cinematic feature film trailer…

Allison + John | from a Tahoe blizzard to a destination wedding in Boston

Yesterday I filmed Allison and John’s amazing wedding in Boston along with Kate and Mike. They live in San Francisco and friends and family joined them from near and far for an amazing celebration. Allison and John were a really awesome couple to get to know and you can tell as soon as you meet them they are absolutely a perfect fit for each other.

Allison and John were married at the amazing historic Old South Church. Its one of those buildings that when you walk into your jaw just hits the floor. Their reception was just a couple blocks down Boylston Street at the beautiful Mandarin Oriental. They held their rehearsal on Thursday with a rehearsal dinner Friday evening at the Taj rooftop with stunning of the city views all around of the sunset over Boston. Amanda joined me for coverage of their rehearsal dinner and I also covered their rehearsal at the church the day before.
One thing that certainly makes for a great wedding is when you have the opportunity to work with a great planner. Heather Minicucci of Simply Inviting Weddings is one of a kind. She worked so well with Allison and John and her attention to all of the finest details was outstanding. All of her hard work made for a wedding I can say I will certainly never forget.
We were excited to meet and work with Christine + Andy with Bello Photography. They are a husband and wife team from the Cape that are not only incredibly talented but just so much fun to work with. The band Hush sounded incredible and provided the music for the evening. Boston Uplights designed the lighting and decor and took an amazing looking ballroom to a whole new level. Jason from Revelation Productions provided the projection system for us for this same day edit…
