Rock the Dress Films | Real wedding Video taken after the wedding day by New York Film Works

So you probably have heard of "trash the dress" photo sessions where brides are photographed the day after in their wedding dresses and either jump into water or sometimes rolling in grass just really enjoying themselves as they "trash" their dresses as the photographer captures it all on film. But now... there is also New York Film Works that actually tells a story and beautifully films your day after session. They call it "Rock the Dress NYC Films". And today I am sharing one of their film sessions.

Stylish and gorgeous bride and groom, Ginger and Ilya wed in NYC, this is a day after video session.   Super stylish, vintage and very much like a commercial, this Black and White film is set to the perfect French song and follows the couple as they walk, dance and romantically stride through NYC . They ended the night with them jumping, in full wedding attire, into the fountain of Washington Square Park.
It's really quite stunning and beautifully shot!

Enjoy!

Thursday Trend Day | 6 Minute Stories | New Wedding Video Trend

So, you're thinking of getting video for your wedding, but are scared of having a huge contraption be the center of attention that has an attached light fixture rather than you and your husband be the center of attention. Besides that you are thinking, how long is it going to take? Some videographers are great but they take anywhere from 6 months to a year before you will receive your video. Plus who uses DVD's any more? Well my friends, there is now 6 minute films!

When it comes time for your event there is only one thing that matters: having a good time. You won't even notice them as they capture some of the truly unique moments of your event. Six Minute Stories was created to capture great moments - not to interfere with them.

Once the event is over your Six Minute Story will arrive to you within a matter of days - not weeks. That's right DAYS! Gone are the days of gathering around the DVD player; your Six Minute Story will be delivered to you online and available in three sizes including full High Definition, a medium size perfect for emailing, or Facebook and small size designed for your iPhone, iPod and other mobile devices.
How cool is that!!! And let me tell you from experience once the big day is over, and it goes quick, you will be dying to see it again! As soon as possible. Check out a sample story below. Simply amazing.

Lauren and Jack did it right. After getting married the day before, they had their reception the following evening...on the beach. Shot on NEX-VG10 with an SLR Magic 35mm. Go to sixminutestories.com for more information about wedding shoots.

Thursday Trends | Caught On Film | Wedding Video Proposals

There are so many different elements to consider when planning a wedding proposal. Creativity, uniqueness, romance, personality, should it be done in front of friends and family, or is better to be intimate and alone? I wanted to share with all of you the fun and cute trend of video proposals. Catching the proposal on film, is a great way to capture the true emotion of such a special moment and allows you to share with others afterwards! Below are some top favorites...each one has a different style and approach to popping the question. What do you think? Which is your favorite?
Would you say yes to a unexpected choreographed dance routine, or would you prefer a more professional scenario like hiring proposal planner, Sarah Pease? She created the last video, Josh & Mandy's cooking class wedding proposal. Aren't these cute?

Valentine's Day Wedding-Empire State Building

I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day. Here is what some lucky couple got the chance to do.

It’s an annual tradition for couples to tie the knot on Valentine’s Day atop the Empire State Building in New York City. The event is sponsored by TheKnot.com which held an online contest late last year selecting the very best love story submissions. In all, 14 couples won the opportunity and one of them was Lindenhurst, New York firefighters Sarah Carpino and George Callahan.

Enjoy the video!
