I’m happy to announce the “official” release of our new style of highlight film…the ‘Cinematic Edit.’ Its evolution came about one day last year while I was talking with some friends about the spark that pushed me forward into the world of wedding films. I told them that amid the many poor samples films I had seen online, I had found a few gems that completely drew me in. Films about people that I didn’t even know, but that I found myself returning to and watching over and over again. I was impressed with the style of shots that (at the time) I had never seen before. The editing looked flawless and the music seemed to capture everything that a wedding and a marriage should be.

As I moved forward in my career and progressed as a filmmaker, my own style began to emerge…at first mimicking the methods of the films that so impressed me, and later transforming into something far more personal. I’m utterly pleased that I have been able to move beyond the artwork that initially inspired me to create wedding films, but as I sat with my friends talking about that first film that truly caught my attention, I realized that over the past few years I had essentially eliminated from my repertoire the very style that I first fell in love with…the cinematic edit. The slow, grand movements and dramatic musical scores associated with this style were new to me years ago, and as I step back for a moment, I realize that they are also new to practically every engaged couple. A well crafted wedding film is something that couples look for once in their lives, and I want to share with them the same feelings that first drew me in to this visually-driven style.

I still love what I consider to be a superior film style, which is what I offer in my ‘Custom Edit’ but this form of edit can be cost-prohibitive for so many due to the intense time and attention involved. As precious as these films are to me, I am happily welcoming back all those who find the cinematic style more appealing to their personal styles and the feelings they want conveyed throughout their wedding affair. Additionally, there is a very appealing factor (i.e. secret) at play here…the work involved in creating a ‘Cinematic Edit’ is far less than that of a ‘Custom Edit’ which of course is the reason for the lower price I am able to offer my clients for this type of film. In this fashion, I sincerely hope that I will be able to reach out to couples who may not have expected that they might be able to afford a true film experience.

And so, I have opened a new door to all choosing to come with me. Within the gallery of “Featured Wedding Films” that I’ve made available, you may now view samples of recent ‘Cinematic Edit’ highlight films alongside the ‘Custom Edit’ of the very same weddings. You have the option of selecting whichever style you feel will best tell your story and share your feelings with those closest to you.

So now, I am happy to present to you, Jacalyn and Chad’s ‘Cinematic Edit’ highlight film. You may also click below to view their ‘Custom Edit.’

Jacalyn and Chad’s wedding was way cool. They chose the Westlake Village Inn for their venue and it was a great fit. The couple was completely at ease and Chris Diset (Chris Diset Photography) captured it with the professional edge he always delivers. The unique part of the ceremony for me was when the pastor read a short history of the couple before Jacalyn was “given away.” He really brought their two families together with that. Walking into the wine cellar where the reception was held was like walking into a different reality with the great decor overlooking the lake and the band playing all night long. What a great end to such an emotional day where the pastor summed up the wedding and really, Jacalyn and Chad’s relationship with this prayer…

“Thank you for this moment.”

By the way, the LA Dodgers were happy to help Jacalyn out with her “something blue” for the ceremony.
