Couple: Jackie & Ryan
Where: The Stables at Hartwood
Favorite moments: The mom's emotion and her breaking it down in her tennis shoes at the reception, the surprise entrance of the groom and friends in dinosaur costumes with the Jurassic Park theme song playing, and then this one moment where Jackie & Ryan just spontaneously started dancing. Every single time I see this clip, I light up. These two inject fun into everything, and it makes me want to do the same!
What to know: Jackie, like Makenzie, is also in the wedding business, and she has quickly become a friend. It adds pressure to the endeavor, but also makes the work all the more meaningful.

Couple: Makenzie & Tyler
Where: Buccia Winery
Favorite moments: Makenzie singing to Tyler, the emotional exchange between Makenzie and Jackie, plus all the moments that include Makenzie, Tyler, and their little boy, Brycen.
What to know: This is the first time I've made a wedding video for a friend. This is the first time I've made a video for an extremely talented, professional wedding photographer! No pressure there. Fortunately, the day provided tons of wonderful moments, spoken and unspoken, and I think you'll see the love between this couple and within this family. Many, many thanks to Makenzie who has been a rock of support in this wedding videography endeavor. I wish you and Tyler all the happiness in the world! Thank you for everything!

Couple: Erica and Blake
Where: Armstrong Farms
Favorite moments: Erica raising her eyebrows and the mother of the bride's speech.
What to know: This is our miracle baby. Full disclosure: this was only our second wedding, and I made a series of bad decisions in my quest to get everything. In the end we had next to no usable ceremony footage. Then, during the editing process, my hard drive became disconnected from my computer and became corrupted. I sent it off to a company and for a ridiculous fee got most of the files back. I'm glad I did it, because this video radiates joy, love, humor, and connection. It makes me happy; it makes the couple and the family happy; and it'll live forever.

Couple: Karly & Brendan
Where: White Barn, Prospect, PA
Favorite moments: Karly and Bethany bouncing and Brendan standing up in the boat.
What to know: I was drawn to the song "Find Your People" because this definitely wasn't just a wedding for two. This was a strong community of friends, and you could feel how deep the ties went. When I listened again to the father's speech, it sealed the deal.

My sister, Erica, and I started filming wedding in May, 2023. We're calling ourselves North Star Films. I just finished this film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y7pgtB2VxY
Please check it out and if you enjoy it, please share it with engaged couples. There are several other videos at this youtube page as well that are dear to me. While I'm still a novice at the videoing portion, I feel I have a knack for capturing the vibe of the couple, which is why all the videos are unique. If you could please do all the things, subscribe, like, share with couples or contacts, that would help us get out there!
