There were so many great moments on this wedding day, and possibly the best in my opinion were the vows that Le’ana and Mark wrote to each other. Both vows were heartfelt and allowed me to get a glimpse of the special relationship that they share and why the two are so great for each other. I also have to say that Mark’s vows perfectly blended hilarity and endearingness at the same time, and made sure to include some of the best parts in this short wedding film.
I first met with Le’ana and a few of her friends for a bridal consultation about a year and a half before their wedding and was psyched when I heard that she and Mark were going to book me. It sounded like it’d be a truly special day at the Fasig Tipton in Saratoga Springs and it definitely lived up to expectations. In addition to those awesome vows, the ceremony and reception were filled with fitting readings and toasts, the first look at Congress Park was filled with sweet emotions, and it was just a great overall atmosphere with their family and friends rocking at the reception.
I wish this “strong-independent woman” and “strong-independent man” well on their on life together, and based on what I saw on their wedding day, these two will continue to push each other for the better and have a lot of fun in the process.

The day of this wedding was full of many fun and funny moments. What probably helped add to the festiveness of the day was that Kristin and Chris grew up in the same hometown, so many of the guests knew each other and the day kind of had a feel of a big family get together. In addition, the parents of the bride and groom have actually been best of friends long before Kristin and Chris even began dating.
Kristin and Chris really do complement each other nicely, and Chris put it best by saying before the first look that they can completely be themselves around each other. Possibly testament to how strong their bond is the fact that they can remain deeply in love even while Kristin roots for the Syracuse Orangemen and Chris for the Duke Blue Devils.

This winter wedding took place at The Immaculate Conception in Glenville and the Glen Sanders Mansion in Scotia.
It’s always interesting to hear about the qualities that each newlywed saw in their partner that fostered their love. During Christine’s and Chris’s wedding ceremony, Father Jerry Gingras relayed the positive qualities each said about one another to the guests, and that moment felt like a perfect addition to the highlight video.
Seeing these two together, they just look like the perfect match and who knows; perhaps in 71 years they will be participating in the anniversary dance at one of their grandchilds wedding. That’s exactly what Chris’s grandparents Madeline and Peter did at this wedding and in my time as a wedding videographer, I can’t recall a couple that has participated in an anniversary dance that has had a marriage span that long. Way to go, and wow, 71 years! As if that wasn’t enough, Peter also gave a full rendition of an Italian song during the reception.
Quickly getting back to the Christine and Chris; it appears that their bond is so strong that they occasionally block everything else out and enter their own little world, as seen at the 3:27 mark in the video ;-).

This is the highlight video from Laura’s and Ben’s wedding at the Hyannisport Club on Cape Cod. These high school sweethearts make a truly sweet and special couple, and I feel totally privileged having gotten to know them and having been their wedding videographer. To me, there’s a certain throwback Americana vibe to what they have, and feel that there were plenty of scenes from their wedding day that could have inspired a classic Norman Rockwell painting.
It was fun to spend the day around them and their family, and to see the similar character qualities amongst the kin. For example, as I was filming Ben and his younger brother, Dan, getting ready, they definitely seemed like two peas in a pod (one difference though is that Dan has a taller frame, which made it pretty entertaining when they inadvertantly put on each other’s suits).
I wish Laura and Ben well, and look forward to seeing them continue through life’s journey as loving companions.
