Lesley and Matt – wedding highlight – kansas city wedding video

What a beautiful new family! It was so great to be able to celebrate with you both and capture your wedding day – not to mention visit with your wonderful families! I had the pleasure of filming Lesley’s brother’s wedding a couple years ago and it was great to get to meet their new little guy!

Lesley and Matt’s wedding was filled with so many personal touches, from the movie posters in the theater hallways, the popcorn boxes that her Dad helped make, to the awesome musicians and bands that filled the Uptown with fantastic sounds, and of course wonderful food, and a VERY cool cake! Thank you both so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day – Please keep in touch!

Here is Lesley and Matt’s highlight:

Santa Marta Retirement Community

I had a fun project last week – I had the opportunity to work with a great group of people at a retirement community in Overland Park called Santa Marta. What an amazing place!  Wonderful people and a beautiful place – I was ready to move in by the end of my shoot!  Here is one of two videos that we created together – the next one will be a little bit slower for the “mature” audience.  This is another great example of how good video can tell a story and create such a wonderful marketing tool to showcase a location or business!

Michaela & Patrick – Short film

Wow.  This was one of those weddings that I kept noticing that I was smiling as I was editing – it happened over and over again!  Clearly it is one of the most beautiful weddings I have had the honor to record, but on top of that it is the way these two look at each other and the energy that they share that makes me smile. Such a loving family – and just Wow!  I will have to say, I had a hard time not just shooting straight up at the pedal drop during their first dance!  🙂 You two are lucky I got some shots of you dancing.  he he.

This short film is a few minutes long – make sure you let it load all the way before you play it.

Jenny and Mike – short film

Pretty Pretty Pretty!  I could just leave it at that and be done with this one!  Wow! I have a special place in my heart for art museums and the Nelson Atkins is especially wonderful!  This was the first time I have shot a wedding reception here and it lived up to all my expectations.  What a grand location for a wedding.  Jenny and Mike you will have such special memories now every time you go to visit!  It also turned out that our families are connected with some dear friends, which I didn’t figure out until they started waving enthusiastically at the wedding. 🙂  Beautiful locations, FABULOUS couple, great families, favorite photographer, wonderful coordinator and spectacular flowers makes for one awesome wedding.  Enjoy!

(don’t forget to let the video load most of the way before you watch it – it will make it play SO MUCH more smoothly!)

Amanda & Stephen – Sneak Peek

What a beautiful way to celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend – a wedding! Such a sweet couple and kind families – thank you for letting me be part of your special day.  The minute I heard this reading at your ceremony I knew the song that had to be included in your film!

This was the first of many weddings this season at Loose Mansion – very pretty location! I love the intimacy of the ceremony and classy yet homey feeling this venue allows.  Hope you had a wonderful AND WARM trip – enjoy your Sneak Peek!
