Victoria & Jason

Vicky & Jason from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.

We really enjoyed Vicky and Jason and their wedding and reception was beautiful. We met with them a couple times before the wedding and filmed their engagement shoot, which you can see here: http://northernlightfilmworks.blogspot.com/2008/08/jason-vicki-save-date.html


We used a little Super 8 film to sprinkle in their wedding highlight. The wedding was held at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Indianapolis, which is a beautiful church. We worked again with our good friends Kevin and Alicia Monahan with Kevin Monahan Photography. We had perfect weather on the wedding day. The wedding planner was April Foster of April Foster Events and she did an amazing job and was very helpful. Having a planner takes so much of the stress away from planning to even the wedding day itself. The reception was at the Crowne Plaza, which just happens to be one of our favorite places to work. The staff there are first class. Souled Out Band rocked through the night, they are such an entertaining band.

While editing this film, I kept thinking about how much these two are in love. You can see it in their eyes and just how much fun they have with each other. When we spend a period of time getting to know our couples, the films always mean more to us and Jason and Vicky were certainly no different. Jason and Vicky are two of the nicest people you could meet. We wish them all the best. I'm sure we will remain in contact with them.

Woodstock CC Classic - Maggie & Hunter

Woodstock Country Club Classic - Maggie & Hunter from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.

This is a short trailer of a wedding we recently shot at Woodstock Country Club in Indianapolis, IN. The wedding was beautiful and was something you might find in Town and Country Magazine. Everything from the Bride her dress, flowers, cake and setting set the stage for a memorable wedding. We enjoyed working with Photographer Jennifer Driscoll. The flowers by Posh Petals were amazing. The intro to this film features members from the Buffoons, which Hunter was a member. Cool stuff. More of them in the final edit.

Congratulations to Maggie and Hunter who are currently on their Honeymoon in Aruba.

We are Featured on "The Bride's Cafe"

We were excited to learn that some of our Super 8 Film work is being featured on a popular wedding blog called The Bride's Cafe. If you want to stalk a blog, this is one to keep an eye on for the latest trends and to get some ideas for your wedding.

The film featured is a film we shot at the Ambassador House for the now married Jessica. The Ambassador House is one of those quaint places you might find in a magazine and is a fabulous place to have your wedding and reception. We shot this along with our good friend and Photographer Jennifer Driscoll. This shoot really fit her style so well. Jennifer does an amazing job creating art out of photography. Kiralee of eyeMAX was the makeup artist and she did a superb job as always.

We shot with a vintage 1965 Canon Super 8 camera and used a combination of color and black and white film stock. Film has a romantic feel to it and has an organic quality to it aside from screaming Vintage. It's not so much about obtaining a crystal clear image as it is about setting a mood and film is an archival medium that allows us to be artists and to think in terms of cinematography and being selective about each shot. In addition to Super 8, we also shoot 16mm film. We really love 16mm and particularly the black and white stock....beautiful stuff. All of our film is purchased from a lab in California on an as needed basis so that it is always fresh. The film negatives are then sent to the same lab for processing and any special effects passes that we might want.

We have also been shooting 35mm high definition, which has the look and feel of true movie cinema. The 35mm HD is a nice compliment to any film stock that we might shoot.

We are Featured in an International Magazine

We were interviewed some time ago about a concept video we produce. When we started doing them, it was something that we didn't see being done, so we tested the waters a bit. We started offering Save The Date videos for couples to use as they see fit. The couple could purchase DVD's to send out or at no extra charge send out a link to the digital file or if they had a wedding website, they could embed the file in their site. The great thing about it was it was original and set us apart and it was also something unique and cool for our clients to use.

Each one of the Save The Date videos we produce are different than any other that we do, primarily because we plan it that way and we also look to the personality of the couple.

Here is a link to a digital copy of the magazine should your heart desire. http://www.eventdv.net/Articles/News/Feature/Coming-Attractions-Selling-and-Producing-'Save-the-Date'-Videos-56016.htm
