Super 8 is here!

well, here it is - I am so very excited!!! A big thanks to Kim and Andy for trusting me to do great work! I shot VERY little super 8 at their wedding, but am VERY excited about the product. I have more to share from the photo session before the reception that turned out beautifully as well. I just drool at the idea of shooting 4-5 rolls of the stuff!

Take a look - this will be offered to clients soon - more details to follow!

Ashlei & Charles

What a beautiful wedding. I am so lucky to get to be part of such an important day for so many wonderful couples. This wedding was at two of my favorite locations, a beautiful Cathedral and The Kemper Art Museum. I was an art teacher before I started this business and I always took my high school art students to the Kemper. I look forward to taking my own kids there when they get a little bigger. It was the perfect spot for Ashlei and Charles, and they added many details that made it even more unique. I thought it was fun that the museum kept the shop open for a little bit, they had some really cool stuff in there!

Thanks again Ashlei & Charles - I wish you the best!


Kind words from the Mom of the Bride:

we LOVE it!  It was so nice to actually sit down and
enjoy the wedding and reception.  You did a phenomenal job.  Your
presentation in the white box all tied up with pretty
ribbon was really unique.  Also, the extra recap videos
are nice remembrances for the attendants.

If you ever need a recommendation, please feel free

Katie and Jays video

Sorry for the delay - I had a little bit of a learning curve with the widescreen compression.

Thanks again Katie and Jay!

This was a special wedding for me - it was at the same location where Sam and I had our wedding reception! The Simpson House - Katie and Jay did it just how we wished we could have, the ceremony AND the reception there, but I couldn't talk my priest into marrying us outside :-). Thank you for letting us help preserve your wedding day, it was so beautiful! Sam and I celebrated our 13th anniversary this week - it is pretty special to get to do that while working on your edit at The Simpson House.

I did things a little differently on this edit, this is the format that I prefer and plan to offer on a regular basis next season. Any current couples who want their weddings edited this way, let me know, I would love to do it! Katie and Jay received two DVD's, one with the ceremony and reception, and this one with the entire wedding day edited to music and audio from their day into a short film. I think it is a better way to tell the story of their wedding day and very fun and special to watch again and again. They can also watch the whole ceremony and a longer edit of the reception as well on the other DVD. Thanks again Katie and Jay!

From the bride:

Hi Maura,

I must say...WOW!  The video was amazing. I cried everytime
I watched it. Father Cullen's voice as I put on my dress
was my favorite part,aside from the vows.  You captured
the emotion and the day beautifully.  Thank you. 
You are amazing.
Katie
