Kierstan and Chris live in St. Paul Minnesota but contacted us by phone about filming their wedding here in Seattle. I had such a great time speaking with Chris on the phone multiple times and was really excited to finally meet them in person last month when they were in town to meet with their coordinator, Melissa Parker, to finalize details of the big day. Everyone was worried it would rain but it turned out to be a gloriously sunny day! I hope you enjoy their Same Day Edit wedding video which is full of love and sunshine!

That’s right…Dina surprised her groom, Chris, with a fantastic helicopter ride before their wedding ceremony at the Golf Club at Newcastle! The couple and their families are from Vancouver, British Columbia and decided to have a destination wedding here in Seattle. So what better way to see the area than by air?? The chopper landed on the 10th tee and took the couple and Chris (our Chris that is…not to be confused with the groom Chris!) over Seattle and the Space Needle. I’d say that is a pretty cool way to start of your wedding, don’t you agree?

While Dina and Chris were taking their whirlwind tour above the city, I was busy getting some gorgeous detail shots of Dina’s dress, jewelery, etc….she had so much beautiful eye candy and it was really nice to have an extended amount of quite time to get everything captured. The ceremony was short but very sweet and since there were only about 50 guests, the reception was held in the tent. The Same Day Edit was a hit and later in the evening Dina told me she knew it would be amazing, but it was even MORE incredible than she dreamed it could be. That was like music to my ears. Did I mention how much we love filming weddings for awesome people like this??

We also enjoyed working with the extremely talented Joey Hong from JKHPhotography. Just a few weeks ago with worked with his brother John Hong at another wedding. These guys are simply some of the most amazing photographers on the planet. Not only do they take insane photos that are pieces of art, they are really nice, the utmost professionals and so easy to work with. It’s really a pleasure working with them!

This wedding was a great example of how we try to go the extra mile for our clients. I got an email from Dina just before midnight on Tuesday (the night before the wedding) about the helicopter. So first thing the next morning I made arrangements to get a second Canon 5D Mark II (which takes GORGEOUS video footage…more about that in another post!) along with an extra wide lens and a gyroscope to make sure we could get some incredible aerial shots.  We picked up all the gear on the way to the wedding and it was really worth it! The footage turned out great and we used it in their Same Day Edit….man, was it cool! I think every wedding should have a helicopter! : )

One day, about a year ago, a young lady named Rachel walked in to 24 Hour Fitness to see about signing up for a membership. When she arrived back home later in the day, she told her parents that she had met the man she was going to marry. His name was Austin, and yesterday they were married in a beautiful ceremony at the Golf Club at Newcastle. There are so many amazing places in Seattle to have a wedding, but The Golf Club at Newcastle has been considered one of THE best places for many years. The tent is beautiful, the food is great, the staff is awesome, the view and sunsets just can’t be beat and we truly enjoy filming weddings there!

To add to the serendipity, this past weekend also happened to be SeaFair….in Seattle it is a BIG weekend full of Hydroplane races and the Blue Angels flying over Lake Washington. When Austin’s mother married his step-dad, it was also SeaFair weekend with the Blue Angels flying overhead. How cool is that?

As Rachel was getting dressed yesterday, Austin had a small package delivered to her. It was a book that he had been writing in since they met. He would write down his thoughts and feelings about their relationship and had left some special place for their wedding day. As Rachel read the entry for that day, there wasn’t a dry eye in the place and the bridesmaids asked if he had a brother! It was just so sweet and set the tone for the entire day.

I hope you enjoy watching this celebratory Same Day Edit as much as I enjoyed putting it together! I can’t get the song out of my head…it just makes me smile!  Congratulations Rachel and Austin, and thank you Suzi for asking us to capture the day and for welcoming us like a member of your family. You are wonderful!

P.S. for those of you who want to know the techy stuff, about 75% of this video was shot on the Canon 5D Mark II with Canon 24mm, 50mm and 70-200mm lenses.

Marissa & Ali were a blast to work with! Having a really good wedding video was a very high priority to them, which of course is a delight for us!

They had a unique way of combining their Filipino and Persian wedding traditions during the ceremony. Usually these traditions can take quite some time, but they combined the Filipino cord & veil along with the Persian shawl, sugar cones and honey all during one song. We got some gorgeous shots of the traditional Persian spread…it really is beautiful and you can tell that a lot of love and work went in to creating it.

We had the most amazing weather on the day of their wedding. There is something about the sunshine in Seattle during late October that is just stunning! Please enjoy their Same Day Edit and feel free to leave comments for Marissa & Ali!

The amazing vendors for this wedding were:

Venue: Golf Club at Newcastle
Coordinator: A Sharpe Occasion
Photographer: Courtney Lynn Photography

Sarah & Jerome were married at the Golf Club at Newcastle this past summer in an elegant but fun ceremony. As soon as you meet Sarah and Jerome, you know they are very intelligent, caring people who also have very good taste! They are best friends that laugh easily with each other. We thoroughly enjoyed working with them both!

This ceremony is representative of the editing that is included in our Full Coverage Packages with the addition of a Retrospective Interview. In addition, there is a separate chapter on their DVD with the entire ceremony exactly as it happened in case they want to see or hear other parts of the ceremony.

Don’t forget to come and see us at the Seattle Wedding Show this weekend!

Wow…Sunday’s wedding at Newcastle was amazing! With elements from Jewish, Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiian cultures, it could have gotten pretty crazy, but Elizabeth (the beautiful bride!) and her wedding coordinator Wendy Wojcik were able to pull it all together cohesively. There were some really great, spontaneous moments in the day and I’m sure now that it’s over they are even more happy that they decided to have it filmed!

This wedding was shot in High Definition and we created an Extended Same Day Edit where elements of the reception are included. The first half was shown right after Toasts and then the entire video with the reception shots was shown just before the Liz & Aaron departed. Both viewings had standing ovations and after the second viewing, people were shouting “We want MORE!!” We had tons of fun with this wedding and even brought home a Hawaiian print yamika as a souvenir!

The Extended Same Day Edit is becoming one of our service options as a stand alone product. It will be a perfect solution for brides who want a more scaled back video than our usual package offerings. If you are interested in a quote for your wedding, please email us at info@edit1media.com!

Be sure to watch this all the way through so you can see the Lion Dance!

Here is an “Extended” Same Day Edit from Analisa & Ini’s wedding today at Newcastle. I’m super tired so I’ll try to write a bit more later. In the meantime, enjoy this one! Oh, and yes, those are our aerial shots of Newcastle in the beginning.

Once again we worked with the “A-Team” of J. Garner Photography (he is sooo creative!), Weddings With Wendy, DJ Daddy Cool, and Rented Elegance.

OK after filming literally hundreds of weddings over the last 9 years, you’d think I could get to the point where I never cry at a wedding. Well, not today! There were several times in fact! Lisa and Ben and their families are so amazing that everytime something emotional happened, I found myself tearing up like crazy! Man!

So this gorgeous couple was married today at the Golf Club at Newcastle. It was such a crystal clear day and the weather was absolutely gorgeous and perfect! I had a great time getting to know the girls a bit in the bridal suite before the wedding and had even seen a few of them at other weddings we’ve filmed. We worked with Jim Garner of J. Garner Photography who is such a high energy and creative photographer! Sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with him…he totally blows me away!

Lisa & Ben hired us to do a Same Day Edit for their wedding and of course they LOVE the Gladiator song that I’ve done a zillion Same Day Edit’s for, so they had to have it! They are actually friends with a couple whose wedding we did two years ago with a Same Day Edit to that song too…how cute is that?

Oh, and surprise, surprise…everyone was crying while we showed this! Actually, Ben’s older sister was completely sobbing which made me cry! Even a few groomsmen were crying! It was so sweet!

So without further ado, here it is!

More details: This wedding was orchstrated by Wendy Wojick of Weddings with Wendy, David from Rented Elegance did the flowers and decor. Ben’s uncle was the officiant, and later on in the evening, the Michael Benson Band and DJ Daddy Cool rocked the night away until the sparkler getaway!
