This was an absolutely beautiful wedding at the Indianapolis Central Library. This was our first shoot at the new Library and it was nothing less than spectacular. The day started off with us spending some time with Stephanie as she prepared for the wedding. The first thing we noticed was how close she is to her mother, who by the way was an incredible host. We always felt welcomed. The wedding, held in the Library, had such a classic feel. The staff at the Library were on top of things and very helpful.

The reception was held in the Atrium, which again, blew us away with how this facility rocked. Evans Audio Visual handled the sound for the wedding and the lighting in the Atrium. The lighting in the Atrium looked amazing with the uplighting. Uplighting can really transform a facility or enhance it.

We shot this wedding with our good friend and incredible photographer, Jennifer Driscoll.

Hope you enjoy this little teaser to the main film.

A little backstory on this one. We were contacted last year by one of our former Brides, Brittany. We had filmed her wedding at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, CO. Brittany sent us a message and said “hey just wanted to let you know that I referred a friend to you to film her wedding, her name is Maggie.” We thanked Brittany and told her we would let her know if Maggie contacted us. Later that day, we received an inquiry through our website and the message said that Brittany had referred her to us and she really liked our work and wanted to meet with us. As usual we read through the particulars of the date, location, etc. we then happened to notice that the last name of Hilligoss. Could this be the Maggie Hilligoss we know? John hadn’t seen Maggie for years….but how many Maggie Hilligoss’s could there be in this world? We wrote her back and told her that we were available and told her that John thought he was related to her. John’s Dad and her Dad are cousins. Lots of memories with the Hilligoss family when John was little. Wow! small world. Maggie immediately wrote back and confirmed what John had suspected.

This was a beautiful wedding and we had perfect weather. Everything from the location at Woodstock Country Club to the flowers, cake and overall decor. This wedding rocked! Maggie and Hunter are such a perfect fit for each other. John went to shoot some of the guys getting ready and as he walked out poolside, the Groom and the Groomsmen were in a circle talking. They started to sing and John was blown away by how good these guys were. He filmed them and later found out they were with the group called the Buffoons. A very talented group and I encourage you to check them out. To learn more about this group and their history go HERE.

We really enjoyed experiencing this wedding, it is close to our heart and it will always be a great memory for us.

We enjoyed once again working with Jennifer Driscoll. You have to check out the amazing images, Jennifer and Jordyn captured that day. To view go HERE: Jennifer Driscoll Blog

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.
