I had the pleasure of producing a Same Day Edit for Melanie and Ryan’s wonderful Terraview wedding. Stroudsmoor Country Inn never disappoints and this winter snowscape wedding was no exception. On top of the aura of freshly fallen snow, the day was made even more special by the many thoughtful surprises sprinkled in by the couple and their families. Ryan was surprised with his best friend right before Melanie came down the isle and there were multiple awesome musical performances made for the new couple. I want to thank Melanie and Ryan for choosing Trevor and myself to be with them on their perfect day, and wish them nothing but the...

Lauren and Sam know how to plan a wedding. This wedding was all about the best! The best scenery and weather at the best wedding venue in the Poconos with the absolute best event planner, Ashley Haeuser! Set high atop the Pocono mountains overlooking the Cherry Valley Wildlife Sanctuary below, Crestview Chapel offered stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere on a crisp and beautiful Autumn day. Once I got a chance to start editing their Same Day Edit and see the footage from the day I knew we had a special one on our hands. I want to thank Lauren & Sam for having me be a part of their beautiful wedding. Cast & Crew Venue –...

Twenty-three years ago Jarrad and Nicole walked into Hope Luthern Church to begin their first year of preschool. At the time the two preschoolers were only focused on playing with toys and making their teacher happy. When preschool ended Jarrad and Nicole each went their separate ways, her becoming a Trojan while he became a Koncrete Kid. Many years passed but the two would still see each other at a mutual friends house for birthday parties or picnics. When the pair were all grown up and tackling their senior year of high school they finally started dating. Jarrad and Nicole went to prom together and continued dating through college. After...

Driving up to Skytop I was so excited to meet up with our Bride and Groom from Minnesota, though I was concerned about the weather. It had been overcast and raining for a few days straight and didn’t look like it was about to clear up anytime soon. But sure enough just as we were about to do the first look the day magically became a stunningly gorgeous, sun shining day. I think this is a metaphor for what happens when Ashley and Brian are together, as you can feel the energy emanating from them whenever they are together.Later, at the ceremony when their pup Ophelia came down the aisle right before her, I couldn’t get the smile...

Julia and Meg had a perfect wedding at the always amazing Monterre Vineyards in Orefield, PA. Prior to that Julia and Meg (at different time slots :)) had their hair done at Blow Dry Bar by Revive in the brand new hot spot of downtown Allentown town just across from the PPL Hockey Arena. Meg then proceeded to get her makeup finished at her parents house while Julia finished hers up at the Blow Dry Bar. Their “no look” first look was one of the most touching moments I have seen in weddings, and their ceremony at Monterre was beautiful despite the pesky weather forecast trying to rain all day. Not to be had though, as moments...

Keri and Jody had an amazing November wedding at Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie, PA. The mountain was golden and pink with autumn leaves and the sun was shining on the new chapter in their lives together. By the time we showed the Same Day Edit a wonderful journey was finishing its first act. I hope this film reminds Keri and Jody of how much fun their wedding was and how happy I am to have had a part in it! Watch Live Reaction...

Anthony and Dena met in high school. He tried and tried to get her to “talk to him” but of course she wouldn’t have it! They were friends but she just didn’t see “boyfriend” in him. He was more of the “class clown” or jokester type of guy and she was more of the “quiet girl” and choose a different type of guy. Anthony and Dena reconnected in August 2009, and at that time began dating. They had a short breakup in 2012 for about 5 months because she thought our relationship wasn’t moving along progressively as it should have. This made Anthony very upset and Dena sad also. He...

When Sarah and Andy first met it was through a mutual friend Gerry. On that night, Sarah and Andy played a game of pool together. Andy started telling Sarah what a great pool player she was, when in reality as anyone who knows Sarah,… she is a pretty lousy pool player! Andy was trying so very hard to impress Sarah, He liked her, and was interested, very interested indeed! Their relationship began almost before they even realized what was happening! Later on that evening, they decided to get a drink and talk some more and went over to the nearby Sands. Since they were at the casino Andy issued Sarah a bet…..”If you win you kiss me, and if I...

We couldn’t have been happier to film Denise and Mike’s wedding and have the opportunity to show this Same Day Edit the night of their wedding. There was so much energy and love from the newlyweds family and friends that the day glowed with the same warmth that we all experienced at their sunset ceremony. Watch Signature...

Kristen & Dennis’s wedding had it all, from a beautiful ceremony, creative session with their dog, and even an accordion player! But what I will remember most is how much their families and friend were so integral to the feeling of shared joy that the day radiated. Bear Creek is also never to disappoint as one of the ultimate wedding destinations in the valley, from the many indoor and outdoor touches that separate their weddings from others. The crowd was awesome as we showed this Same Day Edit at the end of the reception and I cannot thank the new couple enough for giving us the opportunity to be a small part of their big day....

Brittany and David are such great people you can almost forgive them for being Steelers fans! When we were discussing their plans for their Same Day Edit at Bear Creek Mountain Resort, I could just tell that they were the kind of couple that would be a blast on their wedding day and they did not disappoint! A perfect early fall day lent itself to a touching first look by the pond and lead right into a blue sky accented ceremony at the Woodland site. Every once in a while, like today, I get jealous of missing filming the reception when I hear them having a blast and dancing hard all night long and truly enjoying a photo...

Lauren and Matthew invited Bar None Weddings to film and photograph their wedding at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn in Stroudsburg, PA. Their Ceremony was full of energy and that flowed over to the entire wedding! The Rose Garden in Allentown, PA provided a perfect backdrop for their creative session and the dance floor was packed all night, right through the debut of the Same Day Edit film that was wildly cheered by the capacity crowd. What a great wedding to be a part...

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...

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...

  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 the...

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 friends and...

Watch Couple’s Reaction!       Denay and Danny shared their stunning Bear Creek wedding with us, and we had the chance to share it back with them at the end of the night with a fun Same Day Edit! As the sun rose on the mountain resort, the emotions where in the air and it was a great energy to feed off of when trying for find shots for inspiration. By the time we showed the film off to the packed Mountain Ballroom, the party had just reached its highest energy levels and that flowed right though to the presentation! It was a joy to be a part of...
