I knew from the first phone call with Christine that their Super 8 film was going to be fantastic. Her and Jon were into anything I suggested, anything that could make the day and the film the most fun. My goal is not only to keep things focused and make a great film but to reduce stress as […]

Kelsey’s bouquet looked as if it were plucked right from the meadow. It had that unfettered beauty, straight from nature, without anyone’s fussing to ruin it’s inherent charm. The same could be same about Kelsey and Paul’s entire wedding. Though every detail was meticulously thought out and executed, it’s biggest success was that it managed to feel a […]

Let me start by saying there are weddings (great ones, of course) and then there are Greek weddings. As much as we knew certain events and dances and toasts, etc were going to happen, we could not have imagined the vigor Cynthia and Terry’s wedding had. It was everything all at once…elegant and welcoming, decadent […]

I just photographed the cutest couple on the cutest street. I love photographing on little cobblestone streets in Philadelphia. I jump on my bike about an hour before the shoot and scout out blossoming trees, ivy-covered walls, colorful row homes and cool signage. I like to shoot in new places as much as possible. Which […]

I’ve shot Super 8 several times at the Union League and we’ve photographed weddings there more times than I can remember. Every time it’s an elegant affair that goes off without a hitch. That means a lot to us, other vendors. It makes our job easier and communication is clear. That’s a lot of background but […]

Front & Palmer weddings always have cool couples. It’s industrial chic with modern art chandeliers and exquisite food. It sits under the el in Kensington and has a chill, urban vibe. It’s the antithesis of a ballroom wedding and it fit Erika and Mike perfectly. Also, it was in their ‘hood! A couple of favorite things […]

Caroline and Mike created the ultimate backyard wedding that lent itself perfectly to the nostalgic tone of a Super8 film. Let me just list a few things that you didn’t want to miss: horses and carrots, great combo (Caroline is an avid rider and professional trainer, horses are a significant part of her and Mike’s […]

What goes better with Super8 than a fun-time couple whose immediate family owns a craft brewery? No need to actually answer that one but Mike and Robin are that couple and Crooked Eye was fueling the fun. Like I always says, “those who love craft beer love craft filmzzzz” -Dutch, 7/13/16 Good times had by […]

I’d be willing to bet that when Kaitlyn and Brad met one of the two was dancing. More specifically, spinning while dancing. They’re both so good at it. Just watch the film and see how anyone who hangs out with either one of them ends up spinning. Kids can’t stop spinning. Even Kaitlyn’s dress spins […]

We were both excited and nervous for Katie and Charlie’s wedding. Not for the obvious reasons that usually go along with shooting a wedding – not missing a moment, keeping everyone on schedule, traffic, etc. But mainly because Julie was due to deliver our first baby anytime around that weekend. So you could say there […]

The Brits felt right at home at Catherine and Dan’s Appleford Estate wedding with the lush gardens and damp rainy weather. They played up the American/British marriage with flags, traditional fruit cake (made by Catherine’s mom), whiskey bar, Rolls Royce and of course, big beautiful hats and fascinators. Perfectly executed, the Queen would be proud. […]

Joe surprised Megan on the wedding day with a gift I fully support…Super8. Megan had no idea until I entered the room rolling film. To say the least, she was shocked (and legend has it she was still muttering moments before I entered how she wish she had made it happen). These two lived their […]

Hope the holidays and festivities treated everyone well. To start off this new year I’ve got a new film montage to share, You Are Here 2014. It’s Super8mm as always, delicious and infinite (in certain ways). I love these films. I love shooting them, editing them, editing them some more, making the music fit the […]

I get real excited when anyone requests Super8 from us on their wedding day. That means so many great things. Here the first 3 reasons I can think of after finishing this film at 3am: 1) We’re most likely on the same page visually/aesthetically and in the same ball park musically I bet. 2) There […]

Here we are again. I love these montages of the year’s Super8 films. It’s a real challenge to try and trim down all the footage into a sweet little 3 minute (or so) film that can draw out the essence of both the Super8 medium as well as the rush of a wedding day. This […]

Liz and Scot’s engagement session at the Hidden Valley Horse Farm in Pennsylvania was featured on Style Me Pretty this week! This makes me happy for two reasons. First of all, farms are my thing. Not in a trendy worn wood and Mason jar kind of way, but in a down and dirty working farm […]
