Yesterday’s wedding was gorgeous! Ann-Marie and Steve were married at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church and had their reception at the Rainier Club. It was a rainy Seattle day but the mood was still warm and sunny! Ann-Marie was glowing and the wedding party was tons of fun to work with!
Wendy from Weddings With Wendy did a fabulous job and we had fun having dinner with her in our own little vendor room. Bella Rugosa created a warm candlelit room at the Rainier Club that was truly breathtaking. John from the infamous JKHPhotography was great to work with, as always, and let us get some really creative shots.
At the end of the night, Ann-Marie and Steve left in a horse-drawn carriage into the downtown Seattle night. It was a bit wet, but still very romantic!

Greek Wedding

We did an amazing Greek wedding yesterday. About a month ago we got a phone call from a bride who was unhappy with the videographer they were going to use. She found our website and fell in love with our work. When she called and said they were getting married at St. Demetrio’s Greek Orthodox Church, I mentioned Camp Agape which is an awesome camp in Gig Harbor for families who have children with cancer. We were lucky enough to have been there for two years and it was an amazing break to have when going through such a hard time.
Anyway, she said yes she knew about Camp Agape and that in fact her fiancee is a counselor there. She said his name is Steve and I just about hit the floor! I quickly emailed her a picture, and sure enough…it’s the same Steve who was my kid’s counselor at camp! The bride said she definitely believes in fate and I think she decided on the spot that we were the ones who needed to film her wedding.

A few days later she and Steve came to our home-studio. It had been 8 years since we’ve seen him, and it was so great to catch up and for him to see how much our boys have grown! He really made a huge impact on our oldest son, so you can’t even imagine our delight to film their wedding!
The wedding was amazing! The bride was beautiful and one of her bridesmaids who knew us from Camp begged me to have the kids come to the reception (which I really didn’t feel was too appropriate). I love the tradition of the Greek ceremony…there are 4 priests who do the ceremony and they sing almost the entire thing! It’s just beautiful and the church is incredible. The photographer, Emre from EK Photography was great to work with too. He has done seven weddings for this family!
The reception was fun and emotional. Her brother couldn’t be here because he is in Iraq right now, and Steve’s dad has cancer again (for the 4th time) but he was there. In addition many of the Camp Agape staff and volunteers were there and it was so great to see them! It was just a beautiful day for us both on a professional and personal level. It felt like being with family.
So many of the toasts at this wedding were very poignant and emotional that I can hardly wait to get my hands on it to edit! I’m definitely going to be using a lot of voice over throughout their video! Oh, and the Greek dancing…what more can you say? 
Thanks to Steve and Koreen for asking us to be a part of their day!
