Vintage Wedding Films

Hey Everyone!
I just thought that you would enjoy watching one of our very first films! I hope you enjoy watching the progression of film growth as much as I do. In the beginning we were going for the "true" 8mm feel to the films so we would put the crackle in the beginning of the film and the rustic feel of the 8mm lines throughout the film. I love how it has the crackles!

Black and white footage gives such a elegance and peacefulness to the film. Such love was at this wedding!

Contemporary Modern

Check out this beautiful wedding out in LA. The bride decided to have more of a contemporary modern theme to their photos and wedding. One place that they got photos taken out was the Disney music hall where it just happen to be their reception hall! They chose the sleek platinum color to match up with white, black and a pale green. Check out the film to see more ideas for your wedding!

Classic New York Wedding!



Complete with adorable ringbearer, gorgeous bride and lots of champagne, this is the quintessential New York wedding. Behold the ceremony which took place at the magnificent Saint Thomas Church built in 1913. With a nave vault rising 95 feet above the floor, this structure was created in the French High Gothic Style and is consistent in materials and acoustics to churches built in the Middle Ages.

Reception is in no other than Palace Hotel famed in countless films and lore. This romantic and iconic hotel serves as the perfect celebratory spot for an elegant reception ending with champagne and sparklers.

A warm, intimate Christmas

Nothing says class like black and white! This December Christmas-themed wedding took place at the Blue Bell Country Club outside of Philadelphia. Enjoy!



Traditionally brides wore their hair flowing down the back to symbolize their virginity; now the white diaphanous veil is often said to represent this.




The lifting of the veil was often part of ancient ritual symbolizing the groom taking possession of his wife. However, among the Tuareg of West Africa, women do not traditionally wear the veil, while men do.

This male facial covering originates from the belief that such action wards off evil spirits, but most probably relates to protection against the harsh desert sands as well.

The "Perfect Wedding" may not exist

What is your relationship based on? Is it fun and games, or maybe more sentimental? What if the couple is more fun and laid back? Then they won't fit into the traditional wedding theme, right? Weddings are many times elegant, serious, and classy.

Sometimes while editing our wedding films, we come across some really unusual couples that OBVIOUSLY are far from traditional. So what if their idea of a beautiful wedding is the equivalent of a 13 year old boy's bar mitzvah party- complete with funny glasses, games, funny dancing, etc. This just represents their personalities; more power to them!

A wedding is a day you can proclaim your love and share your love with your families. Why try to mask that love with the old stereotypical ways if that's not who you are?

Sometimes brides focus on the perfection of the wedding day. They have to remember, their wedding day will never be perfect. In my opinion, they should focus more on bringing their personalities to the table than the idea of perfection. A wedding day is just another day in life, and life isn't perfect! Have fun and enjoy, rain or shine!

Traditional Jewish Wedding

Below are two traditional Jewish wedding films that we filmed and edited. There are so many different traditions in a Jewish wedding that really make for an exciting film. For example, there's the:


Ketubah- A document the bride, groom, and their families sign which display the responsibilities of the groom to the bride. It is traditionally read out under the chupah (canopy the couple gets married under), but many times it is signed privately in a room away from the wedding madness. Many times, the document is decorated with a neat illustration that mean something to the bride or groom. For more traditional couples, however, it remains plain and in Hebrew.


Next there is something called the Bedeken, which happens after the Ketubah. The groom and his parents, as well as the rabbi approach the bride and veil her face. Many times during this ceremony, there is joyous singing. Music is taken very seriously in orthodox Jewish weddings. The musicians are not just there for a paid gig, they play spiritually and sway to the rhythm, really becoming part of the couple's emotions.


The chupah is a canopy held up by 4 poles. In traditional Jewish faith, it represents a roof where directly above is clear skies, depicting a soaring future for the couple. The entire ceremony takes place under this chupah, including exchanging of the rings and the breaking of the glass, which can represent many symbols. One of the symbols is that the couple's old world is broken and now they're entering a new world, where they are married and have new responsibilities.



And the best part of the Jewish wedding (in my opinion), the hora! This is a family dance where everyone holds hands and spin clockwise. This depicts the two families coming together and celebrating the marriage. It is custom to play musical instruments and drink during a Jewish reception.

Winter wedding in Philadelphia

This past winter we had an absolutely beautiful wedding to film here in Philly. The couple had such perfect weather, and just an overall great day.

They location was this great venue in Philly. The decor was just so sweet and simple but very sophisticated.

The Bride has such great taste. From her simple bouquet, to her beautiful retro gown!! The beading is so elegant and fun. And the Groom's suit is very handsome and classic. This Bride & Groom are the epitome of simple elegance!
The Bridesmaids were all dressed in classic black dresses, and the Groomsmen in classic black suits.

The couples choice in songs, were so great also. They are just so creative and unique. The songs just highlighted the wonderful shots filmed on the wedding day.

They were so sweet and happy the entire day. So in love!
Watch how the bride gets choked up while they say their vows during their ceremony!!
Just so sweet :)
