Matt {and} Katie from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.

Katie and Matt’s wedding day was so beautiful. We love when we get to shoot weddings out of town. Their ceremony was held at The Summit Country Day School, which is such an amazing church inside the school. Katie and Matt are huge Disney fans and their wedding defiantly had ha fairy tale wedding feel. The reception was located at the historical Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel. Being history buffs and very much into architecture we learned all we could about the historical hotel, which created an even more excited experience for us to film there. We enjoyed getting to know Matt and Katie’s families and share in their special day.

We always enjoy filming a wedding at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame and Morris Park Country Club. We met with Bridget and Eric about a year before the wedding to shoot a Save The Date video for them. The campus of Notre Dame is full of history and beautiful architecture. The day of the wedding, we also produced a Same Day Edit for them. A Same Day Edit is where we will shoot and edit throughout the day and then produce a highlight of the day, which is shown on the big screen at the reception for the couple and guests to enjoy.

We enjoyed working with Bridget and Eric and they made it such a fun and memorable experience for us.

This was a wedding we filmed in Indianapolis, Indiana at the beautiful St. John’s Catholic Church in downtown Indianapolis and the Indianapolis Central Library. Casimir and Andrea dated briefly in High School and went their separate ways. As fate would have it, they reconnected while attending Purdue University and now they are Husband and Wife. We are always intrigued by our couples relationship, how they met, and little twists of fate, their family, etc. There is always a story to tell. They had a beautiful wedding all the way around. We enjoyed once again working with our good friends Brock and Stefanie Childs of SB Childs Photography.

This wedding will go down as one of the upper tier most beautiful weddings we had in 2010. A credit to Stefanie’s vision and Kim King Smith Events. We always seem to luck out and get great couples with equally great families. The wedding was at St. John’s downtown, which is one of our favorite old churches to shoot at. The old churches really have a lot of character and there is a certain romance about them. We shot quite a bit of 16mm film and Super 8 film for this wedding. There is some black and white film that was shot and this is true black and white film stock. Film always adds to the romantic feel of the wedding. Film has natural grain in it and imperfections that give the wedding film some texture.

The reception was at the Indiana Roof Ballroom, which is also one of our top places to shoot. The reception was over the top beautiful. How about that cake from Heavenly Sweets…it tastes as good as it looks.

Thank you Stefanie and Bryan for choosing Northernlight Filmworks to film your wedding!

What a classy family! We had the pleasure of filming this wedding in Indianapolis, Indiana. Such a great family on both sides. We felt so incredibly welcome. The Bride, Stephanie, had this perpetual smile all day long. She has one of those infectious smiles. One of our favorite times of the day is the morning when the Bride is getting ready. We don’t film that entire time but bits and pieces. It is during that time we see the relationships and the personalities of the Bride’s family and friends revealed to some extent. Scott was in such a great mood all day long and they both really just soaked it all in. Below is the e-mail we received from Stephanie.

“The movie along with the ceremony and reception were awesome!! We couldn’t be happier! The filming and production…everything amazing! Thank you so much! We also loved the special touches on the DVD cases. ~ Stephanie”

This was a wedding we filmed at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) for Jenny and David. We had an opportunity to learn more about them before the wedding in filming a couples interview. This is a great way to document how they met, the proposal and how the relationship developed. This interview was woven into the fabric of the wedding film. We spent the morning with Jenny’s family as she prepared for the day and they made us feel so welcome. We always enjoy this time because it gives us an opportunity to get some candid moments and to see some of the personalities come out. The wedding was so beautiful being on the grounds of the IMA. We loved the sonnet that David wrote for Jenny, it gave the ceremony a personal touch. Jenny’s Maid of Honor is a concert pianist and she played a couple of pieces during the reception and she was phenomenal. It was amazing being that close to her and watching her hands and fingers take over that piano. We worked again with Photographer Andrew Scalini and Event Planner, Casey Scott.

Here is a very nice note received from Jenny and Dave.

“Hi Jennifer and John,

Many Thanks!

This film represents a lot of why we are passionate about what we do. Shawn and Sarah have been together, dating back years. Each wedding we film, we understand that the framework of a wedding day is mostly the same. But within that framework, we look for nuances and personalities and stories that help shape the identity of the couple, the family and their friends. What we see and hear on the wedding day is only a very small fraction of the couple’s lives but although it’s a snippet of time, it is one of the most important times of their lives.

As we documented some of Sarah getting ready, we talked very casually about their relationship and learned about a letter that Shawn had wrote many years ago, long before the thought of marriage. I asked Sarah to get the letter and had her read a little of what that letter said. She had decided she was going to read this letter that Shawn wrote during her speech at the reception. Loved the heartfelt speech Sarah’s Dad gave. We really enjoyed spending this time with Shawn and Sarah and the wedding was beautiful.

We enjoyed working with Janie with Alanna Photography

It’s been a little over a year since Whitney and I became husband and wife and it has been the greatest year yet. Looking back on our first year as a married couple has brought back so many memories. Since then we have made some changes in careers and many changes to our house in Fishers. I have decided to spring into the wedding industry and coordinate weddings as well as work part time as a teacher. Whitney has made many updates to the inside of our home including an outdoor oasis. We enjoy many things together and especially playing with our pups Lucy and Lacy. This first year as newlyweds has been a blast and we couldn’t have asked for more! It has flown by and it reminds us to take time to look back and remember all those moments in life that go by so quickly.

As we approached our first year anniversary, we also knew how much fun it would be to look back at our wedding film produced by John and Jennifer of Northernlight Filmworks. It brought back even more great memories of our wedding day. We just love bringing it out every now and again to remind ourselves of what a great day it was. Having them capture every moment with family and friends was the best thing we could have decided to do. We always know we will have this film to watch for years to come! We can’t thank John and Jennifer enough for the amazing work they put together for us!

This was a wedding we filmed in Carmel, IN. We really enjoyed shooting this one. While I was shooting I kept thinking that Jamie reminded me of someone and it wasn’t until I was outside with her getting some shots and it hit me that she had a striking resemblance to Eva Longoria. We worked with Joni Streit Photography and had such a great time working with her.

This was a wedding we filmed in Indianapolis, IN. The wedding was at Geist Christian Church. The ceremony was beautiful and it was very apparent that Afton and her Father have a great Father / Daughter relationship. The anticipation of walking down the aisle with his daughter, made us wonder what was going through his mind. Afton and Joe have quite a story of how they met and the romance involved a long distance relationship. We believe that every single wedding has a distinct story and personality and this wedding involved a story of fate and faith. Just goes to show you that if you want to make a long distance relationship, it certainly can be done, but it takes work. But Joe and Afton remind us that if you love someone, it is work that is well worth the effort.

The reception was held at the Skyline Club, which is the same location where Joe proposed to Afton. We worked with Ardent Stills Photography.

Thanks Afton and Joe!
John and Jen
