Coming Attractions // Kristen + Ryan

Bryan — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:08:56 +0000

One of the best aspects of Tracey’s and my career is the lasting relationships we make along the way! Kristen was a bridesmaid at a wedding we shot last year and we liked them since the moment we met. This day was a long time coming for Kristen + Ryan and it proved to be more beautiful than we could have possibly dreamed. Check out their Coming Attractions Trailer marking the release of their feature film!

Susie + Ron // Save the Date // Super 8mm + HD

Bryan — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:38:28 +0000

Susie and Ron are planning an AMAZING destination wedding at the Don Cesar in November. While at the theater, Ron came up with the idea of sending out a Save the Date trailer to their guests! We couldn’t agree more that this was a fabulous way to get guests even more excited for their special day!

Funny enough, after leaving the snow behind in New Jersey, Susie and Ron arrived in Florida to the cold and heavy rain – we’ve had quite a winter here, haven’t we? Thankfully Susie and Ron are the COOLEST couple and were up to anything, including spending three busy days with Tracey and I dodging rain, and taking advantage of the intermittent sunshine whenever it poked it’s rays out through the clouds!

The shoot, beginning with the moment Susie and Ron stepped off the plane, spanned all the way from St. Pete Beach to Ybor and Channelside! We couldn’t be happier with how the film turned out! Incorporating both HD and Super 8mm film, this time spent with Susie and Ron filming was invaluable to Tracey and I, getting to know the couple and and gaining two new friends.

Check out their awesome Save the Date!!

Stephanie + Ross // Real Wedding Highlights

Bryan — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:23:56 +0000

Stephanie and Ross were wed at the breathtaking Ancient City Baptist Church in the oldest city in our nation, St. Augustine, FL. The couple met while on the debate team and knew almost instantly they would spend the rest of their lives together. The weather was more than perfect and both family and friends enjoyed the couples most special day in spectacular fashion!

I think it’s safe to say Stephanie and Ross found their fountain of youth!

Jennifer + John // Real Wedding Highlights!

Bryan — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:40:08 +0000

Jennifer and John were married at the beautiful Bayanihan Arts Center in Westchase (which is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to shoot)! Jennifer, and all her bridesmaids got their makeup done by Karen Turner at the very hip Sola Salon Studios in Carrolwood. Then we were off to shoot the lovely ladies and the men as they got ready to wed at the arts center. The night was beautiful and just before Christmas. The bride looked radiant as she walked down the isle choking back tears as she took her vows and the groom was the most excited man in the room as they became husband and wife!

Becky and Keith were married at St. Johns Catholic Church in Lakeland this past Friday. We were so happy when Becky contacted us and that we were able to share in their most special day. Becky was a bridesmaid and Kathryn and John’s wedding last spring and she was a ball of tears when Kathryn said, “I Do.” So we knew their wedding was going to be sweet. Becky and Keith are two of the sweetest and kindest people we had the honor of filming! Check out their short trailer to their upcoming film!

Bryan — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 23:48:13 +0000

Kara and Kevin love Halloween and all the scary, fun things that surround the holiday! Both have even performed as characters at Hallowscream at Busch Gardens. It only made sense for the newlyweds to tie the knot on none other than October 31st! Kara and Kevin tastefully included fun Halloween accents that made their day uniquely their own. From their personalized ceremony soundtrack, including the The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s theme song), to the toe tag name cards, Kara and Kevin really created a fun day for everyone! We hope you enjoy their super fun highlight reel!
