From Radison to Addison

We had a couple of great weddings this weekend. I already got a great review from Lauren and Dan. Here’s what they have to say:
“Eric,
Thank you for filming our wedding this past Saturday at Addison Park. Dan and I had an amazing time and everyone in our bridal party thought you were great- easy to work with and very friendly. The picture of you in the photo booth was awesome!EVERYONE cannot wait to see your finished product. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend. And again, great job and thank you for making our wedding run so smoothly.

Love,
Lauren and Dan” Awww thanks guys. Love you too 😉

First Stephanie and Kevin got hitched. I started at Stephanie’s while Dave was with the Kevin and the guys. Got the chance to work with David and Amy Lau photography, LAUUUUU!!! Their always nice. I took Stephanie’s dress outside for a sweet shot hanging on the picket fence out back, the maid of honor stood serious guard while I did that, haha. Of course, I was careful and it’s in the name of art, but not a smudge baby, as usual. Stephanie looked gorgeous, and was all smiles all day long 🙂

The day continued at their St. Cecelia’s Church in Iselin, NJ and then we shot over to the Crystal Ballroom at the Radisson in Freehold, NJ. That was my first time there. Nice place though. Made friends with the fajita and pasta girls, haha. Great party, it was fun to see them both out on the dance floor. Kevin has some moves.

The next day I was flying solo for Lauren and Dan’s wedding at Addison Park. I started with Lauren getting ready. Lauren looked amazing in her gown, and was very cool and collected. I’ve never gotten so many thanks for every compliment, but a beautiful bride, and beautiful friends, makes for an easy day for me. Luckily, all my brides are beautiful 😉

After getting ready we went over to Addison Park in Aberdeen, NJ so Lauren and Dan could see eachother for the first time, and get all their shots done before the ceremony. It was a very sweet moment, and we worked quickly to get everything they needed, and then the ceremony started as the sun was setting. Beautiful, but thankfully our cameras work well in low light because it was getting dark.

The reception was awesome. They partied and danced the whole time, even grandma and grandpa got out there a few times. Jay from Sound Connection DJ’s was doing his thing. I helped him with his video blog, by providing the light, haha, but we had a great time together as usual. They had a photobooth, which I love, so I got a shot for myself, but also left one for the couple in their album below, using some napkins to deliver my message. I even got a keepsake at the end of the night, one of several leftover favors a nice glass with the Rutgers R, and their names and wedding date. Now evertime I drink from it, I’ll think of them. Maybe I should give out mugs too, haha. Good idea 😉 Congrats guys.

Unfortunately, I didn’t take out my still cam for some pics at Stephanie and Kevin’s wedding, but I did at Lauren’s wedding. Here are a few fun ones:

Bernadette and Jeff at the Crystal Plaza

We finished this wedding a long time ago, and I realized I never put up any clips. Bernadette and Jeff are a very sweet couple. Dave and I showed up at the Sheraton Suites to capture each of them getting ready. The ceremony was at St. Francis Church in Hoboken, NJ, and the reception followed soon after at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston NJ.

Since Bernadette is Filipino, this was a Filipino wedding, and so there were plenty of customs including sponsors, the coins, the cord, and the veil. The reception was a lot of fun, and we even showed a Same Day Highlights, which you can see here, and on our YOUTUBE page). Check out the great video clips from their wedding.

Irene and AJ’s wedding at the Liberty House

Great wedding on Saturday August, 15. Irene and AJ got ready at the Hyatt in Jersey City. It was great seeing photographer Jose Reyes again. I think we’re both coming from the same referrals, and will actually be seeing eachother again in this weekend. Everything was really on time with these guys. Plenty of time to get some great shots of Irene and the girls getting ready, and AJ and the guys chillin with Empanadas. That was the magic word to get AJ to smile that day, Empanadas, haha.

They had a traditional Filipino Ceremony at Holy Family Church in Nutley. They’re reception was at the Liberty house, back in Jersey City. We stopped nearby at this historical train station. I had been there before for some great bridal part shots, so I suggested it, as it’s like 2 blocks away from Liberty house. It was an awesome spot to get some great shots of Irene and AJ, and their bridal party.

The reception was a lot of fun, plenty of great dancing, and everything was going well, until I got a rumbly in my tumbly. Something I ate was not agreeing with me, and I truly felt sick for a few minutes. I thought I was going to hurl on the dance floor during their bouquet and garter toss. I was filming and holding it back, and thankfully I didn’t toss my empanadas and my stomach calmed down. Oh my God, I was imagining being on Youtube puking on the floor. Would I have filmed myself doing it, or would it have been Irene’s video enthusiast Dad, with his trusty camcorder? Haha.

Well, I was able to work it through, but it was one of those moments where a 2nd cam would definitely come in handy. Someone to keep filming even when we have a man down. It was a beautiful, and yes hot day, and definitely a future demo sample. Congrats guys!!!

Wonderful new review :)

I just got this wonderful review today from Julia and Jeff. We filmed their wedding quite some time ago and unfortunately shortly after the wedding the best man (the groom’s younger brother) passed away very suddenly. It was an extremely difficult time for them as can be expected. Rahim who actually filmed the event (as 2nd cam) also edited the video, and we both got a little choked up watching the footage. I made some additions to really make it special, and you can feel they truly appreciated it.

I just find it amazing to be able to see someone again who is no longer with us. Photos are nice, but nothing, NOTHING captures someone the way a good video can!!! It’s not a reason any of us cares to think about, but if you don’t think a good video is worth it, think again. Here is their wonderful and touching review:

“Good morning Eric,

I almost called you at 10 pm last night but I didn’t know if you were sleeping. We watched the video last night and I can’t even tell you how much we love it. The video itself was done beautifully – love the music and the way the speaking (readings in the church, officiant, etc.) was done as it showed us and our family.

But the most touching part was how you dedicated it to Jason and wrapping up the video with Jason’s words. Jeff and I were bawling. It was so unexpected and so wonderful. My beloved grandmother died this year at age 104 so to see her and Jason in the video made us cry but made us happy to see them and especially hear Jason’s voice.

Just had to tell you how much this video means to us – can’t really express it.

Have a great weekend and will email you next week.
Julia”
