Kathryn & David - BWI Marriott

January 10, 2009
Kat and David's wedding was at the BWI Marriott Hotel. The hall was decorated in lush, vibrant shades of red and black - very dramatic. All of the flowers were red and white roses. The couple was a pleasure to work for. They were very laid back and just wanted to enjoy themselves. The whole evening was up against the Ravens-Titans playoff game so most of the guests were huddled around the TV during the cocktail hour. They even had a TV in the bridal waiting room. Dancing was a highlight of the reception. David's dance towards Kat to remove the garter was one of the best I have seen yet. Dan from Music Masters DJs was the DJ. He kept the party going all night long.

Megan & Bill - Loyola College & Baltimore Museum of Industry

November 15, 2008
Megan and Bill's ceremony was in the chapel on the Loyola College, Baltimore, Maryland campus. The reception was at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. I really like how they had arranged the museum for the reception. They had hors d'oerve stations placed throughout the museum and staff members on hand to answer any questions the guests might have. They even fired up the machine shop with all its belts and pulleys.

The photographer was Kyle from Kyle Bergner Photography. I have worked with her before and I was glad to do so again, she is a talented photographer. I think that we are able to work well together because we both put the couple at the center of our attention. We didn't battle each other for position because we both know that photo and video are very different final products. It allowed for us to both ply our art to the best we could for the couple, and I think our final products will reflect that in the end.

Also, this crowd was very active on the dance floor. They got down from the first dance until after the band quit playing. It was a lot of fun, and I wish Megan and Bill all the best.

Jessica & Brett - Gramercy Mansion

This past weekend we filmed Jessica and Brett's Wedding. The interfaith ceremony was at the Towson United Methodist Church under the custom hoopa in historic Hampton Maryland. This was one of the most beautifully lit churches I've ever seen. The sun through the windows created beautiful pools of light making the church's interior glow. The reception was at the upscale Gramercy Mansion in Greenspring Valley. The wedding was a ton of fun and the couple danced the night away. The photographer was Eric Stocklin - a long time friend and colleague of my wife. He was great to work with and I think his working style added to the enjoyment of the evening. Weddingscapes did an awesome job with the floral decor. They did both the ceremony and the tablescapes at the reception. This created a real feeling of continuity between the ceremony and reception. The deep rich colors they used for the bridal bouquets and centerpieces were unique. I would highly recommend any of these wedding vendors.
