Erica + Kevin – Amarante’s Sea Cliff – Boston Wedding Films

Our latest Boston Wedding Film actually comes from the ocean shores of Connecticut. Erica and Kevin chose to take advantage of a weekend holiday as they were married on the Fourth of July. We definitely didn’t mind giving up the holiday, as Erica’s Mom is friend of our family. Most of the wedding party and their friends live around us, so there were a lot of familiar faces in attendance for this holiday wedding.

Erica and Kevin, who hail from Massachusetts, are a couple who likes to be around the water. Therefore, Amarante’s Sea Cliff in New Haven was a great choice for their ceremony and reception. The day featured a first look that was threatened by rain, only to see the day get brighter and hotter by the minute. There were plenty of cool details including acoustic music in the ceremony and during dinner, sparklers, town fireworks, a speech aided by a photo montage from Erica’s Dad, and a sweet candy bar. Erica and Kevin’s sweetness really came through, as they each broke down during a card and gift exchange during the preparations.

We go to work a lot of long time friends from the wedding industry including Dave and Eileen Breveglerei of Breveglerei Photography, and DJ and Singer Gary S Jones. Familiar faces always make the day such a pleasure. This Connecticut Shore wedding film starts off with a great story with a funny twist from Erica’s brother Nick. Enjoy the show…

Highlight Film

Alyssa + Matt – The Riverview – Boston Wedding Films

Our latest Boston Wedding Film was another Boston couple traveling back to the couple’s home area of Northern Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. We met Alyssa and Matt through one of our favorite couples, Liz and Jon. I actually covered Jon’s early baseball days while I worked at 22News, and then later coached against Matt and his best man CJ’s high school hockey team when I left the television business. The couple was engaged for almost a year and a half, after Matt proposed to Alyssa at a waterfront restaurant in Boston by having the ring delivered on a platter.

This was one of our few Friday weddings in 2015 and it was held all within a 1/2 mile radius of The Riverview in Simsbury, Connecticut. After preparations and a first look at the Simsbury Inn, the couple was married under a tent by the river at the Riverview. Alyssa + Matt could definitely pass as friends of ours as they used their favor to donate to the MSPCA, and Alyssa scored big points for the Bruins/Patriot inspired groom’s cake. Enjoy our latest Highlight Film…

Photographers, Vendor Spotlight

Featured on Our Website – Seth Kaye Photography

Last week, we started a four-part series highlighting the four wedding photographers that have their images featured on our JPod Films website. This week we are highlighting Seth Kaye Photography. We biasedly love Seth, because he is a photographer who is not afraid to snap some behind the scene shots throughout the wedding day. His pictures now represent our best “action” shots of us at work while creating our Boston wedding films.

Although Seth and I became friends more recently, we have known each other for over 20 years, as we went to the same high school. When we started our company over ten years ago, it definitely made it easier having a few friends and acquaintances in the industry. Seth was one of those people.

If you look at Seth’s work, you can tell he definitely looks through the lens a little differently than a lot of photographers. From the technical side, I enjoy watching Seth experiment with different lenses in different situations throughout the day, while still getting the “must-have” shots. For the casual observer, his keen eye means that his photographs have that unique look and variety that many couples desire.

Lastly, you will not meet a more calm and relaxed photographer on the wedding day. That calmness is a great thing to have around when things get hectic. Check out a few of Seth’s images below and check out his website HERE.

Short Film

Nonie + Ben – Boston Seaport Wedding Film

We met Nonie and Ben through their photographer and our friend, Randall Garnick of Garnick and Moore Photographer. Nonie and Ben met at Providence College, and we quickly saw how Ben brought out the best in Nonie’s quiet persona. The couple was engaged on Valentine’s Day in Iceland in 2014 and planned a summer wedding in 2015.

This Boston Wedding Film would start and finish at the Seaport Hotel in Boston. The preparations included some nice intimate moments and one of my favorite details, Nonie’s grandmother’s bracelet. The bracelet was a traditional piece of jewelry worn by all brides in the Lane family. The two flower girls were just enamored by bracelet in one of the cutest moments of the day.

The ceremony took place in West Roxbury at Holy Name Parish. The couple chose to do a special exit from the church as guests wove white wands with bells down the long church walkway. My other favorite feature of this wedding day was a night photo session we did outside the hotel. A light rain started to fall during the session, which provided some unbelievable images thanks to some off-camera lighting.

In addition to Garnick and Moore, we go to work with a new band called Incadence. The band only performs a few weddings per year, but you would have never known it from the way they handled the emcee duties and kept the dance floor packed all night long. Stapleton Floral Design crafted the flowers, which looked stunning from the bouquets to the centerpieces. Enjoy our latest Boston wedding film from the Seaport District of Boston.
