This was the first time I got to film at Skytop Lodge in the Poconos. It is a virtual wedding heaven there with picturesque imagery every where you turn. Beautiful views from Seth’s golf session, Meghan’s relaxing preparations on a porch over looking the golf course, the emotional first look by the bridge and the waterfall, the sunset courtyard for the ceremony, and top it off with a stunning moonscape to end the night with a sparkler send off! Oh yeah, and the personal vows were straight out of a movie and the speeches where heartfelt and utterly hilarious at times. This is the type of wedding that begs to be made into a film,...

Kristen and Joe had a great wedding this summer up at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn at their Ridgecrest facility. If you have never been to a wedding there the view from the ceremony is simply stunning. We try and portray the awe in their film but it is really something you have to see to believe. Complimenting the picturesque ceremony was some beautiful live acoustic singing by Jay Lapp. I was so mesmerized by his rendition of Fields of Gold, even while I was running around like a crazy man trying to get the ceremony set up for filming, that I asked him to record a special version to be used in their wedding film. Jay did not even bat an eye...

Ashley and Peter are literally the perfect couple for shooting a wedding film! They are both so much fun with great personalities and are absolutely stunning when they are walking down the isle! Both their ceremony and reception was held at Sweetwater Farm Bed and Breakfast in Glen Mills.  Its always nice when the couple has everything at one location.  Its a lot stress for both bride and groom and great for the photographer.  The day turned out gorgeous and the reception was so much fun with the band “Imagine” keeping everyone dancing throughout the night.

Jessica and Craig were such a pleasure to be a able to film. Such a picture perfect couple and what a great day to be a part of. Absolutely some of the best personal vows I have ever heard, and I am a huge fan of personal vows! Everything was perfect down to the most minute details. The location of their ceremony was Ridgecrest. Its always a beautiful ceremony with that great view.  I would highly recommend the Ridgecrest location to anyone looking for an outdoor scenic view during their ceremony.  Their reception was awesome!  They hired the band Mashwork Orange to keep everyone dancing throughout the night.  Well, they sure did just...

Once I heard where Lisa and Jamie’s wedding was taking place, I knew that I had to make this happen. Meeting with the couple cemented the fact that we were going to make a great film with their help and wonderful enthusiasm. For anyone who is a baseball fan, especially a Philadelphia Phillies fan, you would have loved every minute of their day.  Both bride and groom love the Phillies and they tried to incorporate anything they could of their favorite team into their wedding day.  They got ready in a locker room, their first meet was along first base, the formals were on and in the dugout as well as the Phillies locker room, the...

One of the greatest live sporting events I have ever been to was a week before this wedding at the Philadelphia Eagles stadium. Just before the game, a perfect snowfall started and lasted throughout the game covering the whole stadium. Afterwords, I was thinking it was a shame that this wasn’t saved for this wedding, because what a beautiful day that would be. Well, somehow, someway, it turned out exactly like that for this wedding, even better actually. Bethlehem is a city with such deep personality, and I think that a snowy winter day fits like a glove. The snow was accenting Hotel Bethlehem as Paz prepared, Aaron’s parents...

WOW! What a wedding! Every once in a while you have a stunningly good looking couple. And quite often you have a couple that is deep down a truly down to earth, fun as heck, just plain good people. Rarely do you have both… and apparently when you do you get the type of day we had at Riverview Country Club. Vista-like views, whether from the windows of the Grand Eastonian in Easton or over the endless hills at Riverview, are not what you expect when shooting a wedding in eastern PA! Maybe Hawai’i. But Easton? Yes, absolutely. Sometimes you’re running around while the couple is preparing for their big day and you just...

Sometimes a wedding has so many compelling moments that it becomes impossible to fit the best version of the story into a Highlight Film and this was no exception.  Truly captivating stories  all the way from Michelle getting ready though the reception at the Hotel Bethlehem. Great moments with the dress and her mother and father, hilarious anecdotes about Chris from the priest, and killer speeches after a captivating slideshow and grand entrance. This is a great Highlight Film and just a preview of the feature film. Signature...

I had been looking forward to doing this wedding for a while. The couple had told me about all of the unique twists they were going to throw on the Reception, and there were even a few surprises for them courtesy of their Mothers as well! I do admit that the prior Thursday weather forecast had me a bit concerned, but what do weathermen know, it was absolutely perfect out the entire day! The Ceremony at St. Mary’s in Catasauqua had a few unique personal touches as well, with many more family and friends being involved then usual. I thought that was such a great way to personalize their Ceremony. And afterwards at Bear Creek Mountain...

Timi and Keith decided that with him being a farmer with a huge barn on their beautiful farm that it would simply make sense to convert it for their big day into a wedding extravaganza. They absolutely made the right choice! After the ceremony at Friedens Lutheran Church in Kempton, PA, we headed back to the farm. Having seen the barn in full farming mode I was literally stunned to see the transformation that had occurred through the hard work they put into it! And as if to reward them for their hard work they were blessed with an absolutely gorgeous September sunshine the entire day. And this all in turn made our job really easy, all we...

When Amanda and the groom’s mother Ellie told us that the wedding was going to take place on a moving train, we pretty much insisted that they book us for a wedding film! The opportunity for such a unique wedding does not come along that often. And boy did it pay off. If you haven’t been to Jim Thorpe, PA then you are missing out on the coolest, most scenic city in the Pocono region. There is so much preserved history and wonderful landscapes encapsulated in such an almost magical place. In fact, the “wedding train” passed right by the entrance to Glen Onoko falls, one of the most exhilarating waterfall hikes in...

Marjorie and Jon’s wedding had the classic wedding day and it was such a pleasure to be apart of. The Church in Spinnerstown, PA is an idyllic vision of the white church on a hill! The Meadows in Hellertown, PA glowed in the sunset as the couple partied with their friends and family for the first time as man and wife. You could feel the warmth from the family as the couple performed the first dances, and the reception sailed on through the dancing as the night went on. Such a great day!   View Signature...

Food for thought from Tara over at the Mauch Chunk Ballroom blog. (By the way GREAT venue in beautiful downtown Jim Thorpe) We definitely saw a trend this summer for more informal weddings. It’s something we think is neat idea for the right couple. After all, less time sitting for a formal dinner and more time for dancing is never a bad thing! (For the right couple..) So while yes, less formal does have it’s good qualities here Tara makes some great counterpoints why going to the extreme and eliminating “all the rules” can sometimes lead to some unforeseen issues. Bottom line as we always tell our clients is any idea...

  What an amazing site the Niagra Falls National Park is, to spend a day just standing next to the stunningly massive waterfalls and watching the endless water flow into a seemingly “another world” valley where the water sits comparatively still as the birds circle peacefully. Well, bookending our filming in Hawaii, we were given that exact gift from Deanna and Mark as they held their ceremony by the falls and later had their floor shaking reception at Monterre Vineyards in Orefield, PA. The vineyard reception was also a perfect second act to these wonderful families new journey, with a truly heartfelt design and decor to...

Carrie and I had a blast at the Orrico wedding. It’s been too long since we’ve been to Willow Tree Grove in Orefield so we thought we’d blog about this wedding. Stacy and Michael’s family & friends came ready to dance. The floor was packed the entire night. One of the many highlights of the night was a groomsman’s rendition of “I will always love you” by Whitney Houston. Hilarious. This reception had it all. A high energy entrance, a dollar dance netting over 300 bucks for the Bride & Groom to spend on their honeymoon, a playful cake cutting,  so many sing-alongs and a ton of dancing. Willow...

Watch Couples Reaction     He says in the beginning of the film “one of the most beautiful places in the world.” I would certainly like to see the other places he is referring to as well. The Big Island in Hawaii affords visitors and locals the ability to swim with the dolphins(or manta rays) right off the beach, zip over 300 ft waterfalls on a wire, and boat right up to a volcano spewing red hot lava straight into the ocean. The Four Seasons Resort Hualalai is the perfect place to enjoy the more majestic beach scene, and Lisette and Noel did just that. The stunning beachside ceremony was live-streamed to far distant...

Jena and Josh’s wedding a Bear Creek Mountain Resort was a pleasure to film. Bear Creek is a great venue with amazing staff, and The Lodge chosen by our bride and groom is my personal favorite due to it’s personality and atmosphere. And speaking of personality, our couple and their families were over flowing with fun and energy. Mother nature was trying to thwart our plans for most of the day, but Jena and Josh didn’t miss a beat and luckily Bear Creek is such an awesome venue inside and out. Both of them had a great time and I feel this film provides a great encapsulation of their wedding celebration. See more of our...
