“How will my live band sound in my wedding film?”  That’s what she asked.

April 18, 2011

We have always believed that the soundtrack makes the film.  I’ll even argue that how a film sounds is more important than how it looks.  Imagine watching TV and the picture is a little fuzzy.  Still watchable, right?  Now imagine that same show with a perfect picture but constant static.  Unbearable.

So what happens with a live band?  Will the energy and great sound come across just the way you remembered it?  It helps if you start with a great band.  Check out the pipes on the lead singer of CTO’s Park Central!

Same Day Edit at Crystal Springs Resort - Gina and Greg React

August 31, 2010

It’s not often we have the opportunity to show how people react to one of our Same Day Edits.  But last night we had a great angle, decent lighting, and the right lens to capture some really great reactions from Gina and Greg.  They gave us permission to share this with you.


Watch the film they watched:



Now watch their Same Day Edit with Greg and Gina’s reactions:

Dave, Jordan and Jimmy,
If your servers crash we are sorry.  We have sent this to every possible person we know.  Words cannot describe how wonderful this Same Day Edit is.  We are in Italy right now and CANNOT stop watching it.  We cry every time we watch it.  We love it and cannot thank you enough for capturing the day the way you did!  Everyone was absolutely blown away by the film.  Thank you so much and will be in touch when we get back.
You guys make a great team and we are so happy that we were able to spend our wedding day with you.
Greg and Gina.

St. Thomas Wedding Video and St. John Wedding Video, Behind the Scenes

January 19, 2010

We always love shooting our wedding films in St. Thomas and St. John so when we were fortunate to line two of our destination weddings up on the same weekend - only one ferry ride apart from each other - we were thrilled.  It’s too bad we could not stay longer because the US Virgin Islands are just such a magical place to shoot.

Thank you US Airways for not screwing up like you usually do.  With last minute destination shoots like these, we don’t have a lot of travel choices.  Most of the time, flying PHL to STT and back is uneventful, but it’s always risky to try to cut the time too close, ESPECIALLY with US Airways, but Jordan and I had the most enjoyable flight down AND back.  No lines at ticketing, security, OR for the obligatory shot of rum that was handed to us at the airport when we arrived.  Good for you, US Air - keep up the good work!

The Team this weekend included Jordan, Mike, and myself on a non-stop weekend, including waking up before the chickens on Saturday for the sunrise.  Unfortunately, we miscalculated and got up too early.  One hour of waiting in the dark was worth it, though.

Establishing Shots
One of our favorite things to do is to get some establishing shots.  We are like moths to a flame with sunrises, sunsets, and unique cloud cover and lighting situations that will help our clients remember the day as it was.  In St. John, we even caught some amazing rainbows right before the ceremony.

Most of our clients prefer to keep their films private but if we get the green light from our clients, we’ll post a trailer or a highlight reel here on our blog, so stay tuned.

To book your own CinemaCake Destination Wedding Film, contact us online or call toll free, 866-989-0158.  Destination wedding films start at $8900.
