The Bridal Spectacular was fantastic on Sunday. Michiana’s largest and oldest bridal show, held at the Century Center brought in hundreds of brides and was a lot of fun. Thank you to all the brides, grooms and their families who stopped by our booth and took a few minutes to speak.

Allure Films was the official photographers of the Bridal Spectacular and we have a bunch of photos of the fashion show for you! Click the little monitor icon to view the slideshow full screen!

Mark and Maria A Wedding Trailer

Mark and Maria were married at the Notre Dame Basilica of the Sacred Heart and the reception followed at the Century Center White Water Ballroom. You couldn’t ask for a more fun couple to document the day of. As you can see by the end of the trailer they were dancing on the altar, almost. And at the reception it was a non stop party with the happy newlyweds constantly on the dance floor. In fact the difficulty with this wedding film will be the abundance of great dance footage.

New feature: This is a wedding trailer video and as it’s name indicates it is designed to preview the upcoming edited video. I played with a few of these years ago, in fact I think I’ll go dig out my original one, and then promptly forgot about them. This year I am brining them back. The fun thing about them is this is where I can really experiment and play with new ways of editing videos. You will notice at the beginning of this video after the intros (and can you have a more fun intro) you can hear a voice track over the video and song of the bride and grooms vows. Yes it was intentional to have them talk over each other with the grooms vows coming up just after the bride starts speaking hers. Just an experiment but I think it’s fun and if you’d like let me know what you think of it.

Also take note the images of the dome and the basilica were shot of super 8mm film! I love the look of film.

So enjoy the wedding of Mark and Maria.

The Swathwood wedding took place at St Thomas Church in Elkhart and the reception was at The Century Center in South Bend. They had a lovely wedding and reception culminating in fireworks off of the island at Century Center. Greg did the photography and I did the cinematography for the Swathwoods.

There is a lot of images in this gallery so it will take a minute or two to load. Please be patient.
