Fort Myers Wedding - Jaime + Matt

Jaime and Matt were married on Saturday March 24, 2012!  We were so happy to be able to be part of Jaime and Matt's wedding day for many reasons.  One being that we typically are on the beach shooting weddings.  What a nice change of pace it was for us.  Take a look at some pictures below and you will see that it is a bit different then the pictures from the rest of the weddings we shoot every week.   How often does one get to see a bride holding a chicken?  The other BIG reason is because Jaime has been friends with Steven for a very long time.  It was so nice to be part of her wedding day.  

We were happy to be working along side with Stacy and Brandon from Set Free Photography.  I am looking forward to seeing their fabulous photos.  And seeing Mike again from Black Tie Entertainment was a pleasure.  

Important Details from this wedding:  The gazebo that the bride and groom ate under was built by Jaime's brother Jason.  He widdled it out of beach wood....Just kidding :) It is going to be something the bride and groom will cherish forever. 

Jaime arrived to the ceremony site in a Model T from Model T Chauffeur Services.  What a way to make an entrance.  They also exited in the Model T at the end of the evening after walking through a path of sparklers held by their family and friends.  Love it.   

Jaime and her bridal party posed holding chickens.  This is something I don't see very often.  Which may be a good thing, considering my phobia of anything with feathers.  But, it certainly did make for great photo/video opportunities :)

The famous guitarist - soloist Douglas Parker (Trey to his friends) strung his guitar and sang a sweet song as the bride came down the aisle to her groom who awaited her.  It was a treat. 

Best of luck to our newest married couple.  Happy Savannah honeymooning to both of you.  I LOVE Savannah.

Weddings By Socialites - A Wedding Planner's Video

Wedding Planner Kelly McWilliams went off to San Diego for another one of those amazing industry conferences she goes to, engage!11,  and came back with many great business ideas to implement.  Her biggest priority was having a behind the scenes video produced!  She called Steven and I over to her studio for a meeting right away, very excited to share her ideas.   She wanted two promotional videos done and she was excited about getting it started right away.  And so were we! A promotional video can be very powerful because they are so engaging.  Especially for someone who truly caters to the destination bride as Kelly does.

So, Finally!  We have been working with Kelly for a very long time to complete these two videos.  I must say I LOVE them both.  One of them is all about what Kelly does as a wedding planner, which is very informative for those of you who don't know the role a wedding planner has in the planning process.  Brides, you just may want to consider hiring a planner (if you haven't all ready) after seeing this video.  It was very interesting to me, as a videographer, to see all that goes on behind the scenes before I ever show up on wedding day.   After all these years of working with Kelly,  I really did not know all that was really involved with planning and executing wedding day.  The other video I call "Who is Kelly?"  Those of you who know Kelly, will be like, "yup, that is sooo Kelly...."

Grace Ormonde Shoot !

We work with some awesome people in the wedding world.  It's obvious we all LOVE what we do.  When Kelly McWilliams, of Weddings By Socialites told us her idea for a styled shoot for Grace Ormonde we knew this was going to be a great opportunity for all involved.  Plus Photos AND video!   
Not many submit VIDEO when only Photography is asked for....What a great idea! Kelly put together a talented  team of people.  We put in a 14 hour day at the gorgeous Mediterra Country Club.  And we really enjoyed every minute of it.  Here is the final video that we submitted to Grace Ormonde for their blog. We are happy to say they loved it and published both the photography AND the video from the shoot in their blog!  The first video is the final cut we call "Destiny".  The second video is the "behind the scenes".


These are the awesome people who all contributed to the shoot:
