McDance – Rebecca and David’s Unique Special Dance

So far in 2011 we at Lifestage have been lucky enough to work with some great couples and to experience some wonderful weddings.  We have also seen our share of funny moments, outtakes, and unique interesting touches.  Part of Rebecca and David’s wedding definitely feel into the unique category.

After all the events of the reception ended and it was time to have fun and dance the night away our filmmakers were surpirsed when the crowd started to roar and look towards the door.  Through all the laughter and cheers it was hard to see what was going on but once the crowd parted Zach & Matt could only see one thing…McDonalds.  You will see what I mean.  We were Lovin’ It.

Amy & Daniel – Wedding Highlights

Wilmington, NC

You think you’ve seen all the best parties, until you attend a wedding like this! Amy & Daniel came up from Charleston, SC for a wedding on our beaches, with a ceremony at the gorgeous Landfall Temple Gardens, and the reception on the beach at The Surf Club. We were so excited to shoot with our vintage Super 8mm film camera. You’ll notice the old film in the highlights. We love it because it creates such a unique nostalgic feel/emotion, that you just can’t get with a video camera. Amy & Daniel cracked us up all day! It also didn’t help that Kevin Millard of KMI Foto was with us taking amazing pictures during the day. You never know what hilarious comment will come out of his mouth. In one of the most unique events at a reception we have filmed, Daniel, the groom, got on stage with the insanely entertaining band, Soul Fish, and sang a set or two, and serenaded the bride with a very familiar Pearl Jam song from the 90′s. Everyone went crazy! So much fun! You can see towards the end of the highlights video not only how much Amy & Daniel are in love, or how much of their own style they have infused into their wedding, but how truly blessed they are to be surrounded by so many of their loved ones, singing and dancing the night away. We appreciated being with these two families so much on this day, and it will go down as one of the most joyful wedding celebrations we have been a part of. Leave some comments folks, and let Amy & Daniel know what you think about their wedding film.

**In keeping with the great 90′s songs of the past, we knew that Amy & Daniel liked Dave Matthews Band, so we edited this piece to one of the classics of DMB from 15 years ago! I think the song fits very well with the mood of the day and their personalities.

Our Website Make-Over

We wanted to shine the spotlight on the people that make our website look good! Over the past year, we have tried numerous ways to “decorate” our website as best as we could. Problem is we are videographers, not photographers! So, instead of using our old still images from our videos we decided that photos created by the photographers we work with would best suit our website. High quality video deserves a high quality website. Now, obviously we have worked with A LOT of photographers all over the region and in Wilmington. Most of them truly great and passionate about their work. Being in the industry, we even have photographer friends that we know, we just haven’t shot a wedding together. That said, these photographers listed below have the work displayed on our site because,

1. They are GOOD…

2. We know that we work well with all of them. Its important that your videographer and photographer work well together because that means not only a stress free wedding day, but both the pictures and video will be even more incredible. We can say that about these photographers. If you are excited about having us film your wedding, look into these folks if you haven’t already reserved a photographer. And if you have, no worries! Before your wedding, we make it a point to discuss your wedding with your photographer so we can coordinate smoothly…

We couldn’t leave out Hal Queen. Based in Charlotte, Hal referred us to many many brides to help us get the word out about our unique style. We couldn’t have expanded so quickly without his help. We work very well with him, and he comes highly recommended, because he shot our wedding!
All of these artists have different styles, so have fun looking at their work and pick the one that’s right for you!

Happy Tuesday,

Matt
