Diana and Jesse Trailer

After living in Colorado for a few months I got a call from Diana to see if I was interested in going back to the windy city to shoot her wedding. The previous year I shot her sister's wedding and they were such good people that this was definitely a wedding I couldn't miss. It's always fun being back in Chicago and Diana and Jesse's wedding didn't let me down. Hope you enjoy the trailer, congratulations!

Nicole and Seth Trailer

Here is the trailer for Nicole and Seth's wedding. They were such a great couple to work with and truly seemed to be deeply in love. Summer and I had a blast working with them. Thank you both for choosing Rising Moon to be a part of your day!

New Camera Test

Here is a little sample video from my new HD camera. I'm not sure if all the settings are correct yet, so once I figure all of that out I'll post some more.

Shannon and Mike Trailer

My wife Summer and I shot Shannon and Michael's wedding on Saturday at the St. John Francis Regis Chapel at Regis University, and then at Coor's Field for the reception. The Chapel was beautiful, with big windows and a nice view of the mountains. The reception at Coor's Field was fun, everyone had a great time dancing, listening to the Irish band on the field, and playing the "cornhole" game! The day couldn't have gone any better. Congratulations Michael and Shannon! You were a fun couple to work with, and I hope you enjoy the trailer. I can't wait to start editing the whole video!

Somer's Bat Mitzvah, Part 2

Yesterday was Somer's Bat Mitzvah, and then her party following. The party was held at the JW Marriott in Cherry Creek. The room was decorated amazingly - probably one of the coolest themes I've seen! The theme for the evening was the Oscars, and the entrance to the party room was adorned by two giant Oscar statues. One of Somer's friends stood by the entrance and interviewed friends and family before they entered the room. The party got underway by Somer handing out awards (little Oscar statues) to friends and family that had helped her and supported her along the way. After dinner, the dancing got started - and everyone was having a lot of fun, kids and adults! Everyone was exhausted by the end of the night, but it was a great time. Thanks to the Reznick family for letting me be a part of it!

Somer's Bat Mitzvah

Today I shot Somer's Bat Mitzvah rehearsal. It went pretty well, and she did a great job! I'm excited to shoot the party tomorrow, which should be a blast.

Nicole and Steven

We just got back from New Orleans a few days ago, and the wedding went great! Nicole and Steven chose to get married at a plantation house outside of the city. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm. Before the ceremony, we shot some footage of Nicole and Steven in Jefferson Square in the French Quarter. I shot some great footage, check out their pre-ceremony video on Rising Moon Video's website.

Off to New Orleans

Tomorrow my wife and I will be leaving for New Orleans to shoot Nicole and Steven's wedding. I felt honored that they chose me to come along and capture their special day, even though it's over a thousand miles away! It'll be a long drive, but well worth it. We've never been to New Orleans, so we hope to check out the sites while we're there as well. Hopefully everything will go great!

Love Story

Nicole & Steven's love story is finally done! Check it out on the website. I hope you enjoy it.
