Karin & David.

11.8.2011

I got an email from Karin about 2 weeks ago to see if I happen to be available for a last minute booking on October 30th. A friend was supposed to do their videography, but because of some unforeseen circumstances, they were no longer available. I am so glad that Karin found me and I was able to be a part of her day! Her and Dave were married on an early Sunday morning at reBar in Dumbo just after the random snowstorm NYC had on the 29th. It was a super chilly morning, but the feeling inside reBar was warm and relaxed. You can tell after only a few short minutes with the two of them that Karin and Dave have something very special between them. After dating for over 6 years, they literally could not wait to walk down the aisle and be married. I had a hard time picking out small parts of their vows to include in the video because they were so heartfelt and amazing! I wanted to include everything but it just wouldn't fit into 3 minutes. As you will hear in her father's speech, the first snow of the year fell on the day Karin was born. Giant flakes like on a Hollywood movie set. He knew it was a good omen that day, just as he knew the unexpected snow that fell the day before their wedding was a good omen for Karin and Dave's life together.

I wanted to add some of the email I got from Karin upon returning from her honeymoon and seeing her preview video:

"Dave and I returned from our honeymoon this weekend and came home to the most wonderful gift in my inbox - our video preview! We were completely blown away... It is AMAZING!

The video looks phenomenal, the sound edits are great, the music is really really beautiful (what song is that?) and I started to cry before I even finished reading your description on your blog (as did my dad)! My new father-in-law also had this to say: "What a great video. And it's just the preview. People need to see it so they can see what happiness looks like." (Cue the "Awwws"!)

I cannot thank you enough for coming through for us at such short notice. You and your assistant seamlessly blended into our celebration and we could not have imagined how stellar the resulting video would be, especially given the late booking! Even though it was just a short preview, it really captured the excitement and anticipation of the day and I am so grateful to have such an awesome video to always remind me of the emotions Dave and I were feeling in those magical moments. We cannot wait to see how the longer highlight film turns out!"

That email seriously made my day! I am so lucky to have the job I do.
