Megan & Geoff’s Fusion Film

Posted in Weddings

Gorgeous! It’s the one word that comes to mind when I want to describe Megan & Geoff’s wedding!

Megan and Geoff = Gorgeous!

The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Va (where the were married) = Gorgeous!

The ceremony = Gorgeous!

The weather (at least when we were outside) = Gorgeous!

The reception = Gorgeous!

Hair, Makeup, Flowers = Gorgeous x3!

Windy Jennings (wedding planner extraordinaire) = Gorgeous and Awesome!

Their band, The Dickens = Handsome and Awesome!

… ok so gorgeous didn’t quite fit for everything, but you get the idea! :)

Megan and Geoff I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for awhile more than most couples as they booked me over a year and a half in advance! I’m so glad too as I’ve really enjoyed shooting not only their wedding, but also their engagement pictures, other weddings that they have been a part of, and we’ve had the occasional dinner together when I’ve been in Richmond! Through everything I’ve really seen how great they are together, and I’m really excited to share their Fusion Film with you so you can see what I am talking about!

I have to give props to Windy Jennings who did an awesome job helping them plan and carry out the celebration (while being very pregnant)! Also, props to their band The Dickens who I highly recommend if you want a rocking band for your wedding! We actually listened to their music while editing thanks to a direct feed recording that we have of them playing throughout the evening! Lastly, I want to thank Matt Ryb who came down from Baltimore and not only did an awesome job as a cinematographer, but also as my second photographer. Thanks to Thomas Dalton for helping with a little bit of everything, and Ashley Chipman & Ophelia Armengol for editing!

Enjoy!

Look 3/Downtown

Posted in Commercial, General

This last week has been really crazy, not only for me, but also Charlottesville as the annual Look 3 (a.k.a. the festival of the photograph) is taking place. Over the next few days I will be posting some more cool Fusion films and recent wedding pictures, but for now I just wanted to share a single photo of the downtown mall that i took tonight …

Each year one of my favorite parts of the festival is the Trees exhibit. If you are in Charlottesville definitely make sure you check out the dozens of nature photos hung throughout the canopy of trees lining the mall!

Annie & Robbie Part 2

Posted in Engagement Sessions

You might remember Annie & Robbie from the recent pictures I posted. Well I also shot a little video, and over the last few days have been editing together a little film to surprise them with! This was the first one that I shot & edited by myself using the 5D Mark II and Final Cut Pro, which was really a feat since I know little about Final Cut except from what I picked up by looking over Ashley’s shoulder while she is editing. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Grier & Tad’s Wedding … Fusion Style!

Posted in Weddings

I am very excited to show you Grier & Tad’s wedding! For many reasons, but most of all because every time I watch this video I think of what an awesome couple they are and how blessed I was to be a part of their special day! … now before I start getting all teary eyed and stuff I want to thank Erin Manfredi, Ashley Chipman, and Kyle Patton who all were an awesome help and I could have not done this without them. You guys rock! Now to tell you a little bit about Grier & Tad’s wedding day …

One of my favorite places for weddings in Charlottesville is The Clifton Inn as everyone there is very nice and accommodating, the food is the best in all of Virginia (maybe the universe), and in the spring it is absolutely gorgeous with flowers galore! Grier & Tad were married on April 18th, 2009 which was perfect timing as all of the blossoms were just starting to peak! Pat’s Floral Design did a beautiful job bringing in additional floral arrangements for the bouquets, garters, and tent decorations.

The ceremony was very unique as Dave Norris, the mayor of Charlottesville, officiated his first wedding along with officiant extraordinaire Claire Goodman who local brides might know from the Charlottesville Wedding Blog and Sacred Ground Ceremonies. It was a very touching and heartfelt ceremony that had many choking up and a few tears being shed. Later on that evening the party kicked off with the Kings of Swing rocking out! I don’t think I had seen a 12 piece band play at a wedding until then … it was very impressive! To add a nice little touch the tent (from Skyline Tent Company) was adorned with beautiful lanterns that really made for an awesome and unforgettable atmosphere. I definitely recommend them for all weddings and I think you will see why when you watch the video!

 

With that said I would like to wish congratulations to Grier & Tad, and I hope you enjoy the film!

This film was shot by Aaron Watson and Erin Manfredi on a Canon 5D Mark II and includes photography by Aaron Watson and Erin Manfredi. Editing was done by Ashley Chipman and Aaron Watson.
