Wisdom - A simple word

I found this on our friend Anne Ruthmann's blog. I'm not going to describe it...just watch it.

Katie and Crash = FUN

Fun fun fun. That just about sums up this wedding.

We had such a great time getting to know Katie and Crash. They had a beautiful wedding and probably one of the best receptions we worked at in 2008. So much going on we didn't know what to shoot next. Katie and Crash are the type of couple that seem to want to live life to the fullest. On their wedding day, they were surrounded by incredible friends and a wonderful family.

Thank you Katie and Crash for being such great clients and making what we do, so rewarding.

Megan and Gary - Indianapolis Wedding

Megan & Gary from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.


This was a wedding we filmed at Robert's Park in Indianapolis, IN. Megan and Gary had a beautiful wedding and reception. I always love seeing the Brides expression as she enters the aisle. Gary's reaction first in trying to see over the crowd and then seeing her for the first time was priceless. We thought Megan's father looked alot like country singer, Alan Jackson. The reception was held at the Indiana Historical Society.

We were honored to be able to capture their wedding. We worked with good friends and great photographers, Stefanie and Brock Childs with SB Childs Photography. You need to visit their website and view some of their work. Great stuff!

Thank you Megan and Gary.

Super 8 Film - Demo

Super 8 Film - Northernlight Filmworks Demo from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.

This short film is a demo of some of our Super 8 that we shot in 2008 from weddings in Chicago, IL , Indianapolis, IN and French Lick, IN.

As a child, I remember my uncle Ronnie always with camera in hand shooting Super 8. There is something about film that creates a warm vibe with me. I love the organic look of film and how it makes a contemporary wedding look vintage. It's not a look for everyone and our clients either like it or they don't. We typically know right away if is something that they fall in love with. I recently met with a client and we sat in our studio and she loved the look of Super 8. I am always a bit curious as to what it is they like. So I asked her. She really could not put her finger on what it was she liked most but, words like "warm", "authentic" and "intimate" were a few of the descriptors.

We purchase all of our film stock from a company in California, who maintains the film in a controlled environment. The film is fresh film stock, which is very important. After we shoot the film we send it to the same company for processing. I will give them instructions on how to process the film and to run a second pass on any special effects that I may want to use. You will see some special effects in the demo.

If you have any questions about Super 8, give us a call or e-mail us.
