What or who inspires your wedding productions?
Inspiration is everywhere; films, music, other video artists… but mostly the couples themselves. Each wedding edit is a journey of discovery. It’s when we find the true essence of the couple - and their love, that something magical happens. It’s then that everything coalesces and the film becomes an intangible thing of beauty. That is the ultimate inspiration.
What drew you to wedding and event video production?
Steve was involved with film in school and he shifted to video when it came on the scene. He didn’t intend to “go bridal” but couples just started asking him to shoot their weddings.
What do you enjoy the most about being a wedding and event cinematographer?
Steve: It’s very rewarding being able to delight clients and have peer recognition.
Laura: The artistic process and end result.
What advice would you like to give brides and grooms about their wedding?
Love and a joyful attitude make the perfect wedding day; it’s as simple as that.
Would you care to share any details about the video clip we are sharing on the blog.
We often incorporate sound bites of the vows in our highlights to enrich the story. In this case the bride, Maria, in her nervousness, laughed while saying hers. So, instead of trying to use them, we focused primarily on bits of the minister’s profound message. A willingness to be flexible in editing is a great asset. Trying to force an edit to work generally means it’s not working.
The first song we choose for this clip is the theme song from the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird. We love how it begins quiet and soft with a sense of wonder and then builds into a rich and full symphonic crescendo for the bride’s entrance. The second song, 20 Years Ago from X-Men: The Last Stand, has a lovely magical quality; and lastly is the very sexy Dance Me to the End of Love by Madeleine Peyroux. There is beautiful music all around us and it’s often in unexpected places.
