Jessica and Kenny met at Bar Anticipation in Belmar NJ. From the moment I met THEM, I knew they were a special and fun couple. It turns out they knew some of the same people I do, from my days at Bar A, haha. We got along so well that they even invited us to hang out there again. Jess got ready at the Ocean Place Resort and Spa in Long Branch, NJ. We met up with Kenny and the guys at Seven Presidents Beach, just down the road from the hotel, where a very sweet and personal ceremony was performed by Jessie Blum.
After some great shots on the beach we headed over to the reception at McLoone’s Pier House, also in Long Branch (right next to their hotel). It was my first time there, but it’s a great place for an intimate wedding. The dance floor was busy all night, and we got some great footage. Congrats again guys. Here are some great clips from their wedding:
Everyone loves a good love story. This is about Rachel and Daniel and how they met. Partly filmed near their home, and partly filmed in Long Branch. It was shown at their wedding on June 28th, 2009 and the crowd absolutely loved it. As I was showing this clip, I was seated on the floor by one of the guest tables, and I heard a guest say, “this is really great, it’s not cheesy, they got a really good videographer”. Nice to overhear a great comment.
Me with Danny and Rachel
Rachel got back from her honeymoon and wrote: “I gotta tell you that your video montage has been raved about every time i showed it off! Thanks again for a phenomenal job!!!” Congrats Rachel and Daniel!!!
We filmed Jessica and Kenny’s wedding on May 8th. We started off at the Ocean Place resort and spa in Long Branch. Jessica was getting ready with her bridesmaids and parents. It was very laid back as everyone got their makeup done. We got a really cool Stop-Motion shot with her flowers and dress. I know they’ll love that one. It was perfect weather, sunny but with a cool breeze.
I left Dave behind with the girls while I went to Seven Presidents beach to get set up for the ceremony and get some shots of Kenny and the guys. They were nicely dressed in their khaki suits. I like light colors, of course it makes sense on the beach, matches the sand, plus Dave and I are the only dummies wearing black on a sunny day at the beach, haha.
The ceremony went beautifully. They were handing out seashells and the guests were instructed to place them in a circle in which Jessica and Kenny would take their vows. The female officiant did a great job, she told the story of how Jessica and Kenny met at Bar Anticipation (Bar A). They even know one of our friends, since we used to hang out there a lot too, haha. Small Jersey. What was funny about the story is that Jessica is the one that initiated things with Kenny, and after all these years she finally admitted during the ceremony that when she went up to him and said “Don’t I know you from somewhere”, that it was totally a pickup line and she had never met him before, haha. Everyone got a kick out of that.
It was great working with the photographers, and talking business with them over dinner. They actually filmed our friends wedding, the one that Jessica and Kenny happen to know as well, so again, Small Jersey. I’ve seen those pics, and they were great. We definitely got a lot of great stuff on the beach with Jessica and Kenny and their bridal party.
The reception was at McLoone’s Pier House. Nice place, great view of the ocean. The party went well, there were some great speeches, and a lot of fun dancing. Thankfully they got 2 camera coverage, because the way the room was set up, it really helped for getting some great reaction shots during speeches. Jessica and Kenny are just a really sweet couple, and they had a lot of nice touches throughout their wedding. From the lemonade stand by their ceremony, to the delicious yogurt covered pretzels for their guests to take home at the end of the night, it was all very nicely done. Congrats you guys on a great wedding.
