John and Ashley's Love Story Video Session

What a whirlwind!

On Friday (the day after Christmas), we videotaped the "Love Story" interview for John and Ashley, who got married the very next day. The couple flew in from Florida, and graciously sat for the last-minute interview.

The "Love Story" is a section of the video where we interview the bride and groom separately, then together, asking questions about how they met, what their likes and dislikes are, and then we interview them together at the end (a' la "When Harry Met Sally") to finish off the segment.

Normally, these interview segments are interspersed with shots of the couple in some of their favorite locations, walking hand-in-hand, etc. But due to our compressed deadline (they live out of town and the wedding was the next day), the interview segments will be supplemented with still photos and text. Still, we can't wait to show them the results.

John and Ashley were great sports for the interview, and while I can't give anything away just yet (after all...they haven't seen the footage), I can tell you that they were a joy to work with, and their stories are great. John in particular made a comment that's sure to elicit a tear from anyone who sees it.

The next day, we spent a total of 14 hours from start to finish with John and Ashley, beginning with a hairstyling session at Ashley's parents, a trip to the wedding venue (historic Hamilton Hall on the campus of Elmira College), then on to Sayre, PA for the reception. What a day!

Winter

Ten inches of snow, treacherous driving conditions, no school...and the photographer drives up a mountain to take pictures!

It's what I do, y'all.
