maria and bryan   preps and vows  post-ceremony

Filled with family, friends, laughter and tears, Maria & Bryan's wedding took place on a beautiful warm July day in Detroit.  This is an example of the "retrospective narrative".  A cool and very personal way to tell your wedding day story as only you can tell it - in your own words.

   
eileen & erik wedding video

eileen and erik  play movie 

An example of contemporary films' non-chronological storytelling.  Beginning with their first dance, the video then segues into Eileen's preparations.  As his wife-to-be walks down the aisle, we flash ahead to Erik's toast at the reception.  What may first seem like random moments, are actually moments tied together by similar themes.

A warm August day in Lansing is the backdrop for their wedding - a coming together of two families and two faiths.  These clips showcase contemporary films' use of non-chronological storytelling/layering/retrospective narratives.  This fresh, modern style is very visually and emotionally engaging, and is quickly becoming a hit with brides.

 
kady & dylan wedding video

kady and dylan  play montage

Having initially met there, Kady and Dylan chose a beautiful fall day in Ann Arbor as the backdrop for their wedding.  At their ceremony, they recited some of the most emotionally heartfelt vows I have ever heard.  When it came time to put together their highlights recap, I knew I had to include their vows.  This simple, yet emotional, recap offers a glimpse of their wonderful day.

 
 

Special thanks to Maria & Bryan, Eileen & Erik, Rebecca & Jeffrey, Kimberly & Darryl, and Kady & Dylan.
