Wedding Films | Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Katherine & Mike // 2017

wedding film trailer

good looking, charming and so much fun!

This is a wedding video I had fun creating.  This is an example of a trailer wedding video.   I kept this to under 1 minute so that it can be posted on Instagram.

Katherine and Mike were such down to earth people and were having so much fun on their wedding day.  The ceremony was at a very beautiful catholic church, St Sebastian in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and the bridal prep and the reception were held at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort.  The bridal suite, as you can see in the video, had the most spectacular view of the beach and the ocean.  The ocean background made for some beautiful shots of the bridal party and the light was gorgeous!  This is one of the big pluses of doing wedding videography in South Florida, is we always have the beach and the ocean as a readily available backdrop.  Even if you are not having a beach wedding, as this was not (it was a Catholic Church wedding), the beach was still in the wedding video!

Having a bride like Katherine, who was such a joy to work with, and was continuously flashing her big happy smile, made my job of creating the best wedding video possible so much easier.  The great thing about video is that it captures the emotions of the wedding day and can transport you back to that moment better pictures alone.  It is also great for the people who couldn't make to the wedding - they can experience it - almost better than being there in person!  

Some of my recent favorites

ENGAGEMENT LOVE STORY

In 2020, I experimented with a new wedding celebration film form, the Engagement / Love Story. I actually had a give-away so that I could experiment with this form. This also to opportunity to get more experience directing couples during the romantics section of a photo shoot.

This is Torrie and Chase's Engagement Love Story. They were engaged on March 29, 2019, and like a lot of people, have had to adjust their wedding plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The opted for a small wedding at Bowditch Point Park on Fort Myers Beach. That is where we filmed this Engagement Film. Talk about cinematic! I flew a little drone too, which added some cools shots. We actually covered a lot of ground - as we also did an interview segment - where Torie and Chase were able to tell their love story. They were very cute and genuine - so in love.

WEDDING LOVE NOTE

The locations were so beautiful for this wedding celebration - so cinematic. St. Ann’s Catholic Church in West Palm Beach had wonderful light, and the pagontry was epic. The reception was in a location called the Hippie House. The building, grounds, table settings, cocktail ambience, dance vibe with the DJ Lexy, and a Cuban trio band that I recently saw perform at a popular music spot on Calle Ocho! WOW!!

WEDDING LOVE STORY

A beautiful couple married at the picturesque Florida Keys landmark - What more could you ask for?

WEDDING LOVE STORY

This is from pre-pandemic times, but I realized for some reason I wasn’t featuring it in my Highlight Films section. So, I am breaking it out now. This film has so much heart. As much as I am about the visuals (and I am all about the visuals), there is nothing that replaces the power of the spoken word. This film has such heartfelt feeling and love in the spoken word. Of course, having a happy and stylish couple and family and friends, celebrating their marriage in a boutique Miami Beach hotel with classic styling and charm, and the visuals ain’t too shabby either!

WEDDING DRONE / AERIAL FOOTAGE

This is one is just pure Drone Eye Candy! It is somewhat out of the vault, as it was shot a while ago. I think it shows - when you have the venue - sometimes the only option to truly do it justice is with aerial shots.

Biltmore Hotel - take it away!!!!
