Erica and Mark Wedding Video - Woodwinds Branford, CT

If you have perused my site at all the bride in this video might look familiar. Erica is the face of the Gorilla Grip brand that I do a ton of work for. Which brings me back to what I love about this job, the connections you make. If we hadn’t worked together for years and shared a ton of laughs I can guarantee you I wouldn’t have shot her wedding. It’s also important not to take those connections for granted because I was incredibly happy to be there and humbled that she asked me. Now onto these two…they’re just so great. They’re best friends, they share everything about their life with each other and they are excited to be a part of each others interests. You can see it on their faces how much they just wanted to marry each other.

The wedding itself was a quintessential winter wedding. Christmas trees everywhere, indoor night ceremony with plenty of candle light, tree ornaments as party favors, lanterns for cigar smoking etc. Then there was her dress…what a stunner. A custom wedding dress made my Nova McLaren that was one of the most incredible dresses in the almost decade I’ve been shooting weddings. Erica even commissioned me to make a video just highlighting the dress on the day which is featured underneath their wedding film.

BMPCC at night.

Filming wise this was the first wedding I ever shot using the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K and let me tell you it was a treat. Considering it was winter and it was just gray bright skies that is usually the perfect storm for ugly blown out backgrounds everywhere. The dynamic range the camera has captured everything beautifully and the tonal capabilities with colors were just dreamy. Even at night the BMPCC was incredible. I heard mixed reviews about the low light capabilities of the camera and I ended up loving the look of the night time footage. Keeping my ISO to a max of 3200 the color space was still beautiful and hardly any noise in the footage. Even low light kings such as Sony cameras produce noise in situations like the sparkler send off where there is a heavy contrast of darks and lights but I didn’t find there to be a noticeable amount of that at all with this camera.

I can’t thank Erica and Mark enough for having me, I wish them all the best!

Cheers - Will

KYLEROSE AND JEFFERY'S NEW YEARS EVE WEDDING AT THE DARIEN COUNTRY CLUB

There is something really special about a New Year’s Eve Wedding. In my film maker brain it feels like something straight out of cinema. Everyone is dressed well, there is champagne all around, great food, lots of people, dancing etc. But for Kyle and Jeffery it was more significant than just a day to party, it was the day they met years ago and wanted to celebrate their marriage by recognizing the day that they were introduced to each other. New Year new life as husband as wife.

As someone that likes to support local businesses I really appreciated how much of a Darien affair this wedding was. The dress was from a local vendor (and friend I might add) A Little Something White and The Darien Country Club is literally across the street from where Kylerose and her sisters grew up. The wedding was such a beautiful event and so quintessentially New Years Eve. From the black tie attire, to the jazz quartet during happy hour and of course the grand finale of fireworks. Alright thats enough from me and I’ll let the video do the rest of the talking. Cheers to Kylerose and Jeffery!
