Art and Tradition
The most flattering compliment: To produce wedding films for each son or daughter in the same family. This summer for us has been quite a testament to family tradition. To create a library of legacy for the Barkley family and the Howard family has been an incredible privilege for us. Partnering with the Barkleys to insure that each of their three wonderful daughters have the best wedding film available is the principle of excellence upon which we have built Four Seasons Films. We celebrated with Auburn as she was married in a delightful outdoor ceremony at the family's mountain estate during June.
Paul and I have also traveled to three distinct locations over the years to record three wedding celebrations for the Howard family. To be placed at the top of their priority list is humbling to say the least. We celebrated with them at Katie's August destination wedding at the Cliffs' Chapel, elevation 3200 feet with 360 degree views for 75 miles. Priceless! Thank you to both these families for making us a part of their wedding tradition and trusting us with recording these most significant days.
A Wedding Day Edit for the Ages
I am married to a filmmaker and editor that is a class act, cool under pressure, and well, simply brilliant! With skill and impeccable timing, Paul created a dramatic wedding day edit in a matter of hours for the guests to view following the dinner of a wedding reception at Rumbling Bald Resort. It was such a proud moment for me personally to see and hear Paul receive applause and standing ovations from hundreds of guests who understood and appreciated the moments they had just witnessed. It was also very gratifying for me personally to watch others delight in the images that I had recorded earlier in the day. Thank you to Sherrie and Stacy for sharing our vision of creating a memorable evening for their guests that will be etched in memories for a very long time! Kudos to a terrific wedding planner, Tamara Heston at Belle Soiree for working alongside us with a strategic and well planned schedule of events that made it all happen perfectly.
Featured Wedding
Q&A: "Why were Paul and I celebrating our wedding anniversary in Charleston, South Carolina, this year?" Because we really wanted to create a unique wedding film for Elena and Kevin to watch together as they celebrate future anniversaries of their own. That is what it is all about...couples celebrating their marriages year after year! This wonderful ceremony and reception were held at The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island. The couple exchanged personal vows during their ceremony and then a double rainbow appeared over the ocean during cocktail hour. There were several guests and family from Russia so we learned many lovely Russian traditions during the weekend. We produced a moving cinematic portrait for Kevin and Elena that features spectacular moments from their Sanctuary wedding. They even hosted a second reception in New York where they unveiled their Four Seasons Films wedding trailer to their guests. How exciting!
Style Me Pretty - Seattle!
Paul and I are traveling to the Pacific Northwest for a September destination wedding! We are thrilled to be filming Julia and Dean's wedding on the scenic Kitsap Peninsula. Their wedding guests will be crossing the picturesque Puget Sound via Washington ferries to arrive at the wedding venue. We were introduced to Julia and Dean's story via one of Martha Stewart's favorite blog sites, Style Me Pretty. We are a proud member of their exclusive Little Black Book of wedding professionals. Everyone knows that Seattle is home to hundreds of independent coffee roasters and brewers. As an artist and editor, I derive much inspiration from the heavenly aroma that a dark roasted coffee produces. I'm sure to be spotted at either Cafe Vita or Cafe Ladro sampling some of Seattle's finest! A featured story on Julia and Dean's wedding coming soon on Style Me Pretty!
