Michelle + Jeremy’s Skiesta Mansion Wedding


Michelle and Jeremy’s wedding was a last minute addition to our schedule. A friend of theirs stumbled upon our work and decided that this dear couple needed to have us there. She knew that their budget was tight, but also saw the lasting importance of such a special event, so decided to gift one of our wedding films to them. We should all be blessed with a friend like this! We were quite excited to arrive at Skiesta Mansion since we had never been there before. Filming at a new location is always fun and this one was (wow), not only gorgeous – but so well suited to for a guest list of about 100 or less. It is a luxurious oversized cabin-mansion with breathtaking views that provide an intimate feel. There were a number of rooms right inside, and if you are choosing to keep your wedding more intimate feeling - and want to spend lots of quality time with family and friends – this is a place to consider. Stay for the week leading up to the big day if you can.  Jeremy and Michelle made us feel right at home with them. They were definitely our kind of couple. The love they have for each other and their too-cute-for-words daughter,  was so heartwarming and a joy to be around. We hope you enjoy this peek into their truly memorable day.

Matt + Kristen at Wachusett Village Inn


We first met Matt at another wedding we were filming (Stephen & Stephanie’s). Matt is a DJ…a fantastic DJ. He’s the kind of guy that you can’t know for long without becoming his friend because he’s so others-oriented, genuine and well…likable. So, before we left the wedding that night, he told us about his girlfriend Kristen and how he was getting ready to ask her to marry him. He shared a little of their backstory. They had been together for a long time, parted ways – but neither of them could forget about one another. He wasn’t going to let Kristen slip away again. Having met Kristen now, we are sure we have lifelong friends in them both. Our goal in visually telling someone’s story is that you really have a feel for who these people are; we hope we’ve accomplished that.

Below is the story of their engagement. Matt shared with Bryan his vision, and together the two of them hammered out the details. There are not many chances in life for a man to truly surprise his woman (we women are pretty aware), but when it happens – wow!

If you are getting married and haven’t found all of your vendors yet, then you should check out the links below. If you don’t have a DJ, you definitely have to talk to Matt!

DJ: (Matt’s company): World Record DJ’s

Venue: Wachusett Village Inn – Everything except the ceremony took place here. They had plenty of accommodations for their family and friends, and their rooms were nice and big for the wedding party to all get ready together! And after the tented reception, the guests could just stroll (or stumble – he he), to their rooms.

Photographer: Audrey Cutler Photography – Audrey and her husband, Cody, were two of the friendliest people to work with. They were so relaxed, and yet on top of every aspect of the day. Check out their blog post about this wedding complete with some incredible images!

Florist: Windmill Florist – check out their work for yourself as you re-watch the wedding clip above!:)

Limo: Limo Affair – They used a trolley; very nice company.

 

 

 

Tyler + Andrea

What a cute pair these two are. We liked them the moment we sat down with them to talk about their upcoming wedding. Andrea had confessed to “stalking” us (well, our work)…and they were so excited to be having us film their day. Well, I have to say…after watching what Bryan has put together from their day…I am quite choked up over THEM. Their story is told through the glint in their eyes, the smiles, and all the other little nuances throughout the day. They made it so easy for us…by just being who they are together. It all flowed out so naturally that – halfway through previewing this highlights clip – I shamelessly burst into tears. So…yea, we have not grown so used to this that we are not moved by the magic of it all.

We want to shine a spotlight on the other professionals whom Andrea & Tyler brought in to make their day a success:

Photographer: AMW Studios (Matt & Ariel) – Thanks for the gig you guys! These 2 are so much fun to work with, they are so considerate, cooperative & their photos look so darned good too!

Venue for the WHOLE day / Caterer: Bedford Village Inn – What a gorgeous, intimate and comfortable place to have a wedding! The staff is ‘on it’ when you need something. There are so many creative shots to be had around the property; such fun!

DJ: Get Down Tonight (Dave Pekarski) – It was great to work with you Dave!

Here are two vendors that we don’t usually get to meet on the big day, but their talents make our work look better. Great job guys!
Florist: Apotheca Tea & Flower Shop

Cake: Celia Cakes

Ronnie + Lindsey "That Kid’s Moves are No Joke…"



     Okay, if it isn’t obvious by now that we love what we do…then I don’t know what to tell you. This wedding was an adventure to film. Never have we had quite the pressure to get onto a lift that quickly or with that much stuff (camera bags, etc.). But the man that worked the lift at Gunstock helped us get it done. It was a little nerve-wracking as we took off; hoping that everything was secured well enough to not drop and that we hadn’t forgotten anything because the ride to the Summit was 20 minutes long. Once we knew we were good though, we could sit back and enjoy the amazing views to the top. Bryan filmed part of the ride up, and you can see how it turns thick as pea soup, but personally, I think the fog gives the ceremony a cool, Celtic look.
     We loved capturing Lindsey and Ronnie’s energy. We met them at another wedding we had filmed, (Ronnie was the best man back then) and it was great to see Jackie & Will (Wonder-woman & Superman) again! Be sure to look at the lower left part of your screen for the last shot at the very end (after our logo). I had to watch it 3 times before I could catch it, and I shot it!

This is very nice site. I love to read blog in your site. I hope you will blogging such a interesting blogs. Thank you very much.

Dana + Chris



It was clear to us the moment that they saw each for their first look…
It became undeniable during their playful moments while we took creative shots…
It was comical, and heartwarming throughout the ceremony…
These two were the best of friends
members of the same team

This wedding is one of the highlights of our 2012 season, and it will not be forgotten. You can’t spend the day with a lady like Dana and not feel truly blessed to have met her. Not only was this one kind and thoughtful bride, but she…no, they…were hilarious.Yes, we  would choose this to be our Groundhogs Day of weddings if we had to make that choice. It can’t be easy to hold your wedding day without your beloved parents by your side, but Dana is strong – and she kept them with her in her heart and hanging from her bouquet the whole time. The testimony to how she was raised was evident. All you have to do is look around her and see the relationships – the deep connections. Everywhere you saw how they both touched the lives of those present. This truly is one of the things about our work that we love the most.

Stephanie, The Cliff House‘s Coordinator felt like a long-time friend for us and the Bride from the time we arrived. Everything from Dana getting ready to the reception took place right there on the property. More and more couples are choosing to keep everything at one location, and this really is the most ideal situation for everyone involved in the day as well as those attending. It also can allow more time for creative shots as you see in this highlights. What better backdrop (if you are wanting an Ocean-side wedding) can you have than this place? The rocking swells of the water were so breathtaking and so close; you couldn’t help but be moved by God’s magnitude and power.

Other professionals that helped to bring this day together were (links provided – so hover your mouse):
Photographers: Patricia & John of Prestige Barkley (a really fun and creative couple who have been in this industry for a long time).
Florist: Calluna Fine Flowers (Heather)
DJ: Fred Pappalardo DJ’s
Cake: Let them Eat Cake (Gayle Forte) And wow, what a cake that was!!!
Caterer: The Cliff House (their food was amazing!)
