Loren and David

Last night we filmed the wedding of Loren and David. The ceremony took place in Ardsley, NY in a relatively small church and the reception was at the Stamford Marriott.

I think when I film, one of my favorite moments is when the bride arrives at the ceremony. You can always see her excitement and anxiousness to jump out of the limo, run down that isle and make that final true step into marriage. Loren was no different. As soon as the limo pulled up, her window rolled down and she was all smiles. In fact I don't think there was a moment through the entire wedding I didn't see her or David smile.

The photographer's were Will and Sue of Begin with a Grin photography. They couldn't be nicer people! Not only were the unobtrusive and very photo journalistic, but they really made sure to stay out of our way and not get into any of our shots which was very considerate of them!

The ceremony was a quick full mass, about 45 minutes long and then we headed to the bride's uncle's house to take pictures.

His house was right down the road from the church and sat on a large lot with a beautiful 3 part pond that had fountains and even their own house ducks (who made their way out for a picture or two).

After a short stop there it was off to the Marriott.

Cocktail hour was held out in an open area which had plenty of room for people to move around and sit. Often I see cocktail hours that you cant even move in, but this one was nicely layed out and worked out great for not only the guests, but for us to get the shots we needed!

The reception began roughly at 7:15.

Loren and David went with the band Al Scatt's Stolen Moments Orchestra to provide the music for the night and let me tell you, they were great! They had everyone up and dancing all night long. I can only remember maybe one time where hardly anyone was dancing and that's because they opened up an ice cream and desert bar...I would stop dancing too...

Loren and David were quite the dancers - they spent nearly all night dancing. They worked the night right too. They got to eat and spent a little time with everyone, but still left time for themselves to enjoy their evening.

All in all everything went smoothly and was a beautiful day full of great vendors, great people and an amazing bride and groom!

Congratulations Loren and David!
