Super 8 Film - Bridal Elegance *Jessica*


Super 8 Film - Bridal Elegance - Jessica from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.
This was a Bridal Elegance shoot we did with Jessica, who is getting married later this year. She is a natural in front of the camera and could easily grace the cover of any style or bridal magazine. This was our first to shoot alongside the incredibly talented Jennifer Driscoll. Jennifer has the most authentic and sincere personality, which is so critical when connecting with couples.

The location is a rising star as a unique venue for weddings. The house is called "The Ambassador House". This is a historical structure dating back over 170 years ago. Go here Ambassador House, to read more about the history.

This film was shot with Super 8 film stock. We used Kodak film both in color and black and white stock. The film was processed at a lab in California. There are 3 or 4 shots that we shot using 35mm lense adapter, which gives video a very film like look. These are just a few of the tools that we utilize to give your wedding film a professional timeless look.

After spending the day shooting, we collected our thoughts and recreated in our mind what we thought the day portrayed. I kept getting a French style vibe. Jessica just had this French elegant style look that day. The song French Song by Kate Walsh was a perfect fit. If you like folk style music, you have to check out Kate Walsh.

A special thanks to April Hensley at the Ambassador House for allowing us access to the home and for being so patient. The makeup was done by one of our all time favorite makeup artists, Kiralee with EyeMax by Kiralee. Jessicas stunning hair was done by Irina Green. Flowers were donated by McNamara Florist. Thanks for Leslie Jones of Leslie Jones Weddings & Events for handling the wedding dress for us. We are grateful to be surrounded by true professionals who are passionate about what they do.

Finally, thank you Jessica for being so gracious with your time and sucking it up and walking around on that cold day. Your soon to be husband will certainly have one of the most beautiful brides.

Thanks,
John and Jennifer
