We have worked with some of the best wedding professionals in the Philadelphia area. We will work with a great DJ here or a great photographer there. But Samantha and Nate put together an all-star line-up of professionals. Every person Sam hired does extraordinary work and are people that I am not only proud to recommend, by I am proud to call friends in the industry.
When Samantha hired me back in January of '08 one the first conversations we had was with regards to her photographer. The company she hired had more of a traditional style, with the emphasis on posed shots and less photojournalistic. She asked for my opinion and I told her it would be better to lose her deposit and get somebody else who she'll be happy with instead of sticking with the original company and regretting her decision forever. A wedding is a special day and it needs a special person to capture it. I gave Sam a few names of people I respect and she chose Jenn Childress. Jenn brought a long Pete Malone from 217 Photo to be her second shooter. You can see some of Sam and Nates pics on Jenn's Facebook Page. All I can say is WOW!
And what would be great pictures without great flowers? As you can tell from the shots that Jenn took, Sam had a gorgeous bouquet composed of flowers with various shades of pink. Unfortunately I'm not a horticulturist so I have no idea what various kinds of flowers were in there. If you want your flowers to look as great as Sam's you'll have to call Marie Huss from Flower Sculpture in Paoli, PA.
For an officiant she used Marguerite Sexton, owner of Journeys of the Heart. Marguerite put together a very meaningful and spiritual ceremony that was not only very moving, but also a bit humorous as she told a couple stories of Same and Nate's first few dates.
Anybody who knows me knows that I am huge fan of DJ's Available. You'll frequently see the names Mike Petretti, Terry O, DJ Bishop, Pete Palmer and Paul Cole in my blog posts. Sam used Paul and he kept a great flow to the night and kept the dance floor packed right up until the last song.
When it came to the cake cutting Nate played nice, but Sam didn't. She smashed cake on Nate, apparently forgetting the tradition of kissing each other immediately afterwards, which is when Nate smeared the cake off his face and onto Sam's. This makes for great video. What makes for even better video is when your bride still looks gorgeous after smashing the cake. And staying gorgeous just comes naturally to Emily at Cheekadee Makeup Artist. When you watch our video below you can see how Sam looked before makeup and how wonderful she looked after Emily worked her magic.
Speaking of food, Sam and her girls was a wonderful spread setup in her hotel room for everyone to snack on. I had a pretzel and some fruit and it was great. There was no card so I'm not sure what company to credit.
And then to put the whole thing together and make sure all the professionals are on the same page Sam went with Erin Proud as her planner. Erin's company Proud to Plan is one of the leading companies in the Philadelphia area for wedding and event coordination. Yesterday's wedding went off without a hitch, except for a strong wind that blew over some flowers and wine. Having a wedding planner like Erin makes everything go smooth.
Hmmmm...let's see. Am I forgetting anybody? No. I think that's it.
Oh, wait....we were there. Me, Jimmy and Lynn filmed the wedding and Jimmy turned in what could be his finest edit to date. For the reception my sister, Cindy, was in the area so she stopped by to help film some of the formal events - for free! How cool is she that she'll just stop by a wedding and help just because she loves making wedding videos?
Okay, if you read through this whole thing, God bless ya. I know it was a long one, but I just had to give props to all wonderful wedding friends for the great job they did. I think this is the beginning of our best wedding season ever. I hope to see all my friends many more times as the year progresses. Thanks and please enjoy The B.I.G. Video Show of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Trimmer.

What a wonderful surprise to read that The Roddy Bride nominated me last week for a Kreativ Blogger Award. Thank you!!!! This makes it all worth it! Now, I need to list 7 facts about myself and then pass it on to 7 other Kreativbloggers!
I'm keeping it simple:
1. Word: Love
2. Dream: To become a fashion designer
3. Love: Motorcycle rides
4. Hate: Injustice
5. Place: Beach in Puerto Rico
6. Designer (s): Karl Lagerfeld (Couture) Oscar de la Renta (RTW) Pronovias (Bridal) OK that's 3 but I couldn't resist.
7. TV Show: First 48 Hours
Passing it on to (some may already have one but you can never have too many!):
I don't mean a "destination wedding" - did I confuse you? I saw these amazing suitcases...but they aren't really suitcases! They are actually boxes from a paper company called Kate's Paperie. They are made of lightweight but sturdy cardboard and trimmed with metal latches and hinges. I thought they could be an interesting photo prop! They come in three sizes: small, medium or large and the price range is $10 - $15 each.
I browsed around the site awhile and came across something else that inspired me...if you have suitcase in hand....what does that mean?? That you are going somewhere....correct!! (my blog readers are so smart!) Keep all your travel details (so you will never forget a single moment of your vacation/honeymoon) in this:
Once I saw these two items, I was hooked! I stayed just long enough to know that I had to tell everyone about this great site that has unique items that I have not seen! I loved these invitations!

Virginia & Brandon's Engagement Session
Qoute from the Bride
Hi Joseph,
Just wanted to thank you for that wonderful engagement photo shoot that we had on Sunday. You are a wonderful person and an excellent and professional photographer. We couldnt have made a better choice. It was a pleasure to work with you and we cant wait to see the pictures (which we already know are going to be spectacular) and to have you again at our wedding. My mom has said so many wonderful things about you to all her friends that they are already asking for your info to hire you for their weddings and other events (I am going to need some of your business cards .
Again, we are so thankful for your work and effort in making everything perfect for us, you are a true artist, simply awesome.
Thank you very much,
Virginia y Brandon
These two were so amazing! When a client allows me 100% control over a shoot; to be creative and just enjoy their company, awesome image aways result! Ive include just a few from the session but theres many more at http://allure.exposuremanager.com if you would like to take a look. A professional wedding photographer or event photographer is a special breed of artist. We must capture the true essence, mood of a location or client without forcing things. My style is more of a voyeurist where I simple watch, listen and allow the images to come to me. Im not a fan of ridged poses of ol school photography.
90% of all of my wedding packages include an engagement session with the bride and groom. This is beneficial to both parties: 1) it allows myself and the client to have a 2 or 3 hour visit and to get to know each other before the big day 2) always produces amazing images to be used in their final flush mount wedding album or too create an enlargement, say 20×30 on Pulled Canvas, to be displayed at the reception!
I cover all of South Florida as well as destination weddings aboard. Packages are customized for the bride and grooms specific needs instead of trying to shoe honing them into a one size fits all package which in many time is simply is wasteful. If you dont need it, you dont pay for it, if you want it, you do! Simple, to the point and very agreeable for both parties.
Im a firm believer in hiring the right person for a job. If you like the style, personality and or demeanor of the photographer and their in your budget, GO FOR IT! Theres nothing worse then being stressed out on your wedding day to then have someone around that you really dont like; you will not be happy, the photographer will not be happy and your final images will show it!
Virginia & Brandon you guys were awesome! oxox Looking forward to April 3rd

Title: Destination Wedding Dresses
Informal Wedding Dresses by Mon Cheri
www.MonCheriBridals.com
We know that the hall means well, and they want to dress the room up as best they can so that your guests are completely in awe of the reception facility. But sometimes they just don't think about how it will all look on video or in pictures. Like this example (again, not from one of our videos):
It's not the fact that the center pieces are there, but they should be removed temporarily for the toasts so that we can get a clear shot of the couple and the toaster. Who wants a shot of the toast with a bunch of flowers on the bride's face?
We have worked at The Merion many times in the last couple years and Scott is one of the best room managers I have ever worked with. The last time we worked there he moved the centerpieces without me even having to ask. What a great guy! I hope he does this for all videographers when the centerpieces are possibly blocking the shot. I love working at reception halls that appreciate that we have a job to do.
At another recent wedding the hall had the cake right in front of the sweetheart table. This looked rather odd so they accommodated us and moved it to the side.
Unfortunately at one reception hall they had some big candelabras that were completely blocking our shots. I asked one room manager if they could be moved before the toast and she said that I could move them. After the toasts another lady yelled at me for moving them. It is such a shame when a reception hall cares more about how their hall looks than they do about the couple's wedding video or photos. Needless to say I will not be accepting any more weddings at that hall. If they want to ruin the wedding video they can, but it won't be ours.
