Come Original

On Sunday I filmed Bridget and Brian's wedding in Fairfield/New Haven. What an event!

Bridget and Brian are huge music lovers and both extremely original people in their own right, which influenced the entire day.

First off, the guys opted out of the traditional tuxedos for some light colored suits and some cool patterned ties which was nice to see. I like different. I mean don't get me wrong, I love tuxedos and the traditions of a wedding, but when you see the same things week in and week out its nice to see something different!

During the ceremony music was incorporated with not only singing but also instruments. What sounded like an irish style band got people seated and down the isle. From there there was a solo guitarist who sang a song, an elderly woman in a wheelchair who belted out a beautiful song and then one of the flower girls accompanied by an electric guitar, sang "Grow Old With Me" which during the whole song you couldn't help but smile at how cute it was to have someone so young sing such a meaningful song, and do it well! Some people cried, some people smiled, but everyone enjoyed it!

During the reception they had a band play. This was not your typical wedding band - infact I dont think they do weddings. They were a funk band that were just amazing. Before the band even got to start though, Bridget and Brian did their first dance to a performance by two of their guests. The choreogrpahed dance flowed nicely with the music.



Following dinner, the band hit the stage and not too long in, guests were called up to play along with them. Members from the band Deep Banana Blackout hopped on stage and completely amazed the whole crowd. The last hour of the reception was basically a concert! Along with the band, the flower girls hopped on stage and did a little background singing to a few of the songs.

A night fulled of music, fun, dancing and originality, it was a great day!

Congratulations Bridget and Brian!
