A New Orleans Streetcar Wedding

,

In Emily’s first email she told us they were going to do something a little different on their wedding day. She wanted to get married on a streetcar while it was moving. We were immediately hooked and wanted to capture what we knew would be a once in a lifetime experience. The day did not disappoint.

Even more exciting was the fact that Emily wanted her wedding day captured on Super 8 film. Most of her childhood home movies were filmed on Super 8, but they were mostly lost in Hurricane Katrina. Filming her wedding day on Super 8 would represent the start of new home movies and a new adventure.

Thank you, Emily and Trevor. Your day was unforgettable!

A Destination NOLA Wedding at Race and Religious Wedding!

“Marriage is a commitment where 2 people can find and bring out the very best in each other.”

Amanda and Eric traveled to New Orleans from New Jersey for an amazing weekend at Race and Religious. Per usual Nathan cried as they read their handwritten vows that were filled with genuine raw emotion. Their wedding was New Orleans through and through with Cajun food, a second line, and even a tarot card reader. The Super 8 film added to the timeless nature of their love story. While they traveled to NOLA in January to escape the Jersey cold, it was actually pretty dang cold here in New Orleans this weekend so they moved the dancing inside and had an EPIC house party that lasted long past when we had already gone to bed.

Jessie & Francesco | A Virginia Estate Wedding on Super 8

Where do we even begin telling you about this wedding?

Jessie emailed us before she even picked out a wedding date and a venue because she wanted to base her wedding date on our availability. She told us video and photography were the most important things to her. So no pressure, right?

We are so grateful we had the chance to attend Jessie and Francesco’s Virginia wedding day. Every detail was so gorgeous, and Jessie did most of the design work herself! They even wrote their own vows which had all of the guests (and us!) in tears. Then they threw a super fun reception which ended with Francesco singing every word to Kiss from a Rose!

We are seriously so grateful that Jessie and Francesco found our work and brought us to Virginia to film their wedding. It was one of the major highlights of our year!

Alee's 30th Birthday!

You only turn 30 once, so we decided to make Alee’s 30th birthday one to remember. Alee’s birthday is in late November which is typically a slower time for us, so we decided to hop on a plane and head to Europe. Since we both want to visit every inch of this earth it was so difficult to decide where to go! However, if there’s one thing our bodies were not made for it’s cold weather, so we wanted to find somewhere that wouldn’t be too cold in November. After some research we discovered Lisbon, Portugal and Barcelona, Spain were fairly warm during November, and after finding some cheap plane tickets we packed our bags and spent Alee’s birthday the best way we could imagine. Below is a Super 8 highlight film from the trip.
