Adam and Kimberly - A Classic Wedding


Adam & Kimberly from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.


We travelled to Chicago to film Adam and Kimberly's wedding. We didn't get a chance to meet Adam and Kim before the wedding but thanks to Facebook, we were able to peek a little into their personalities. We remembered when we first arrived and walked into the house where Kim was getting ready and how beautiful she was. She thanked us for traveling up to Chicago, which meant a lot to us because we were the ones that wanted to thank them for hiring us. We love starting the day out with the Bride and seeing how the day starts out slow and the banter of talk and laughter between family and friends gravitates to a frenzy of activity. Kimberly had this romantic charm to her that begged to be captured on Super 8 film. We shot about 3 rolls of Super 8 film and mixed it in with the HD footage. Kimberly's dress was stunning and it complimented her very well. We met up with Adam and his buds at his house. Adam is one of those guys who probably treats everyone the same, strangers or friends. Thanks Adam for the cheeseburgers :)

There are several moments that we love. The moment the Groom sees his Bride coming down the isle, the vows, the kiss, etc.. We also enjoy observing the relationship that the daughter has with her father. Kimberly's Dad gave a wonderful speech that really made us realize that its sometimes the simple things you do with your children that matter the most. Those things that create memories are often hidden in the moment, but in time, those moments become so cherished. The Father Son relationship was very evident with Adams father and his strong commitment to faith and family. We couldn't help to notice how obviously close Adam was to his mother and their emotional Mother Son dance.

Thank you Adam and Kimberly.

Loved the mix between the super 8mm and video which enhanced the beauty of the wedding story. You guys captured some sweet emotions during the day and being able to relive those endearing moments from that day in this video is awesome. The shot with the trees and sun in the background from the couple standing with the veil floating down was breathtaking.
