Bear Brook Valley Wedding Video: Michelle & Ryan

“When looking for a videographer, my husband and I wanted our video to be professional, classic, and something we would enjoy watching for years to come. Once we saw Greg and Dierdra's work, we knew that was the exact aesthetic we were looking for. All of their work is stunning and really captures the emotions of the day. My first phone call with Greg was so pleasant. He was kind, enthusiastic, and thoroughly explained what we could expect on the day of if we were to book with them. After seeing their work and speaking with Greg on the phone, it was an easy decision for us to move forward with booking them. Greg and Dierdra were incredibly professional throughout our entire day. We had a lot of moving parts and strong personalities surrounding us, and they were calm and professional with smiles on their faces all day. Our sneak peak, cinematic highlight, and full length film were all delivered within the promised time frame and exceeded our expectations. Greg and Dierdra produced a video that will help us relive our perfect day for years to come, and we are truly so thankful!” - Michelle & Ryan Google Review

This Video Was Filmed & Edited By Lorenzo Media Productions

Michelle and Ryan had so many beautiful moments on their wedding day. My husband, Greg, and I are so honored to have captured these once in a lifetime moments on video. After reading Michelle and Ryan’s review of Lorenzo Media Productions it seems like they are over the moon with our services and we couldn’t be happier for them! They were such a great couple to work with.

The wedding day took place in Fredon Township, NJ at the gorgeous wedding venue, Bear Brook Valley. This new jersey wedding venue has a stunning bridal suite. The room has so many windows which is great for lighting purposes and an amazing view of the outdoor ceremony, lake and all! Now, I have to admit, most brides want their hair down for the photos and video however, Michelle was our first bride ever to have her hair in a pony tail for her wedding! When the hairstylist and makeup artist were finished, Michelle sat up from her chair and walked into the main room of the bridal suit surprising everyone! She looked absolutely stunning! Her beauty radiates throughout her cinematic highlight video that you can view right here on this page. :)

From there Michelle and her bridesmaids popped champagne to celebrate her special day. Then, she scooted everyone out of the room for her intimate note read. “These past three years have been the best years of my life...for the longest time I always thought I knew what I wanted in my counterpart until I met you…you have been everything I’ve always dreamed of and so much more…you’ve shown me so much love over these years and have supported my unconditionally, that I can’t wait to make you my wife.”

It’s times like these where I, as a videographer, take a second and realize just how precious my job really is. I’m documenting beautiful words spoken that will never be spoken again after their wedding day. - uyy, I’m such a moosh tearing up as I write this. Okay…just getting myself together so I can tell you about the rest of the day.

They decided to do a first look so we took them towards the bridge to set the mood for a romantic scene. Ryan was definitely in awe of Michelle when he turned around to look at his beautiful bride…and guess what? Not only did we capture that on film, but Greg always mic’s up our grooms to get their reaction and the words spoken during the big reveal. But we’ll save the audio for the couple to listen to on their own in a more intimate setting. That way they can cry and not me this time… :)

There were so many scenic locations for photos and video at Bear Brook Valley. We started at the rustic swing hidden in the back of the venue. Only the pros know where to find it! We love incorporating this into their wedding film, it’s a must every time. The sun was peaking through the trees as Ryan pushed Michelle back and forth on the swing. A great way to create motion for the videographer!

After that, Michelle walked down the aisle with a beautiful sunset behind her and they both exchanged their vows. Then it was on to the party where they danced the night away with the bridal party, friends, and family!

Congratulations Michelle & Ryan! Wishing you all the best!!

What Expectations To Have When Searching For A Wedding Videographer?

Great, you’ve decided you would like to hire a wedding videographer for your big day! You’re probably thinking now what? What’s the next step in your search. Let me start by explaining the most important part of hiring a videographer. First, you need to figure out what style you like best. For instance, would you like a chronological look of your day, or do you prefer a film with different parts of the day all mixed together? Do you want a film that has more of a documentary feel to it or a cinematic film filled with beautiful shots and poses? Do you like crazy transitions or like a simple, clean, and elegant film that will remain timeless for decades after. With varying video styles, personality types, and working styles, you’ll want to be sure you’ve found the right videographer that fits your needs. But what specific qualities should you look for in a wedding pro? Lorenzo Media Productions breaks it down for you!

Your Videographer’s Style Should Match With Yours

Whether they shoot more “raw” and documentary style or have a cinematic flare, you want to be sure the videographer you’re working with has a well developed look and feel for their work

While watching films the most important tip I can provide is looking for consistency, consistency, consistency. When there is consistency in a videographer’s films you know exactly what to expect with the product you will be receiving. Realizing this consistency will also help you feel confident in choosing your wedding videographer.

A Videographer Who Works Well With Your Photographer

When you book your videographer consider asking for any photographer recommendations. Since both vendors will have to work together side by side, it is important they have good chemistry and have previously captured weddings together. While all professionals should be able to work with one another, a pre-existing history can’t hurt.

A Videographer Who Creates A Plan

It is important for all your vendors to be well organized, but especially videographers. They have much more equipment to carry which means they need more time to setup. If your videographer is a pro, they will create their own separate timeline with you before your big day which allows for such setup time.

Find A Videographer With A Calm Personality

Your wedding will be a long day filled with emotion, so it’s important your videographer is someone you feel comfortable with. Good energy and a sense of calm will be a blessing if you’re starting to feel stressed.

Your Videographer Should Be Clear About What They’ll Deliver And When

From the time you inquire, your videographer should be specific as to what you can expect to receive and when it will be delivered.

Is Spending On Wedding Videography Worth It?

Most bride and grooms believe wedding videography, although nice to have, is considered many times as an “over the top item,” than a necessity. Here, Lorenzo Media Productions will explain why coughing up the money to hire a wedding videographer to capture video footage of your once in a life time day is a must!

To See The Moments You Missed…Worth It

It is impossible for the couple to really take in all the moments from their wedding day while they are getting dolled up in the morning, in transport to the wedding ceremony, or greeting guests at the reception. Wouldn’t you like to see the reaction of your partner as he or she opens your wedding gift? Hiring a videographer enables you to see many moments for yourself.

When You Want To Relive Your Favorite Moments…Worth It

Video coverage allows you to relive your favorite wedding moments again and again — like your dad’s speech, the vows you exchanged, or the first look. These special moments pass in a blink of an eye. Even a second after they take place, these moments are considered in the past. As time goes by naturally the memory fades but with video you are literally able to relive and remember the feelings and actions that took place whenever and wherever you’d like. What makes it even better is the online blu ray streaming services videographers provide so you can download and share with as your family and friends. I’m sure you’d love to show your kids some day. Believe me when I tell you, you’ll watch it more often than you think you will — it’s a great way to mark anniversaries!

Documenting The Full Mood Of The Day…Worth It

Photography captures some beautiful photos however, it falls short to many components when it comes to your wedding day. Video picks up the slack by recording movement, let’s say your coordinated first dance or children walking down the aisle. How about sound? Wouldn’t you want to hear your best friend or siblings wedding toast? Video is able to capture the mannerisms and personalities of the people you love forever.

Check out our latest highlight. I’m sure this is what you wouldn’t want to miss out on!

WEDDING OF JACKIE & MIKE THE TIDES ESTATE NORTH HALEDON NJ

WEDDING OF DANIELLE & RICK THE MILL LAKESIDE MANOR SPRING LAKE NJ

Happy Thursday Everyone!

Today we celebrate the wedding of Danielle & Rick. They too had a beautiful spring wedding at the end of April. The bridal preparations and groom preparations took place at the old world Chateau Inn & Suites. Once the bridesmaids were all dolled up and had their gowns on, and the groomsmen were suited up we headed by trolley to Divine Park. The bride and groom had their first look on a bridge that stretched across the like. It was quite the romantic spot! After was their photography and videography session with the bridal party and bride and groom portraits. From there everyone went to the last location, The Mill Lakeside Manor, where the ceremony and reception was held. Everything was so close to the beach. The matrimony of our couple on the outside of this venue along the lake was amazing! The colors of the tulips were stunning, I’ve never seen anything like it! We were so happy to capture these beautiful flowers because they added so much to the video, creating a spring vibe. Take a look at their wedding video sneak peek!

THE WEDDING OF STEPHANIE & MARTIN IN SEASONS CATERING WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP NJ

Hello Everyone!

In today’s blog I have a big topic that is very popular amongst bride and grooms. It always seems to add to the pre wedding gitters and the nervousness leading up to the wedding day. Couples tend to obsess about this the week of the wedding doing all the research they can, hoping for a better outcome. Can anyone guess what I’m talking about? The weather! Typically rain seems to be the main concern.

Well I’m here to tell you that it’s not! To be honest, from a videographer’s standpoint, I feel it actually adds another layer to your video creating a sense of warmth and coziness. When it’s portrayed the right way, you can really get some unique footage. Oh, and let’s not forget that when the rain stopped we took them to the outside garden in the soft lighting. So you won’t be seeing any harsh sun in our shots. This will also help with your wedding photos! You can see how we’ve added these shots into Stephanie and Martin’s wedding video below. The film came out beautifully!

Stephanie & Martin,

Thank you for choosing us to film your wedding day at the Seasons Catering!
