Nothing says class like black and white! This December Christmas-themed wedding took place at the Blue Bell Country Club outside of Philadelphia. Enjoy!
Traditionally brides wore their hair flowing down the back to symbolize their virginity; now the white diaphanous veil is often said to represent this.
The lifting of the veil was often part of ancient ritual symbolizing the groom taking possession of his wife. However, among the Tuareg of West Africa, women do not traditionally wear the veil, while men do.
This male facial covering originates from the belief that such action wards off evil spirits, but most probably relates to protection against the harsh desert sands as well.
This couple wed at the historic El Morro Fortress in San Juan. This lovely HD film documents their intimate bilingual ceremony.
Originally the city of San Juan was called Puerto Rico (rich port) and the entire island was San Juan. The capital and the island's name were later accidentally switched.
The Fort San Flipe del Morrow (El Morrow) lies on the northwestern-most point of San Juan. Named in honor of King Philip II of Spain it was designed to guard the entrance to the San Juan Bay and defend the city of Old San Juan from seaborne enemies. Construction began in 1539 and numerous additions and expansions carried through the next 400 years. Today this magnificent structure, including the grounds cover over 70 acres.

Claudia Hanlin & Jennifer Zabinski of The Wedding Library hosted another extraordinary and flawless Wedding Party!! Well Spun Wedding Films set up a table along with Ron Ben-Israel and Mark Ingram and many other cool people.
While there I had the opportunity to meet some highly influential people in the wedding industry, including Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings, Colin Cowie.
The highlight for me was the Vera Wang Spring 2010 show. I had the privilege of creating a film of the show. Here is a sneak peak at it:
A wedding day can come and go so quickly. Being the center of attention for the day can really make you miss out on a lot of the little moments. Sometimes, the little moments can be the most beautiful.
The most beautiful moments happen when you least expect it. The gold is really found in children though, they always pull off something so cute such as being shy to go down the aisle or waving around in a field with their puffy dress. Grandma and Grandpa can surprise you as well, but it's hard to catch them swing dancing their behinds off in a crowd. Your family pet is probably wandering around wondering what's going on-- in a very cute way!
So even though your eyes might not catch everything, luckily there's a wedding videographer who can kind of act as your second pair of eyes to catch these moments. Otherwise, how will you ever know what happened? We tell him to specifically focus on the timeless memories and emotions, which actually show through the most in nice closeups.
That's how we define our style of shooting, close shots defined by the right action. It's not about how much money you spent or the decorations even so much as the people you love and capturing them to hold onto forever.
The most important thing? Smile! Emotion is what we look out for. The tears behind the smiles, we try to catch those too. How many of these timeless memories can you catch in this film?
