We usually try to shoot one wedding per weekend - being that we work with so few couples every year that usually works out pretty well. Sometimes though, we have two couples on the same weekend that are both incredibely enthusiastic and we need to find a way to make it work. That was the scenario here. We had Joyce + Raymond to shoot in LA on Saturday and Carol + Bryan to shoot in NY on Sunday. to make for more of an adventure, both couples had same day edits.

In most cases this would never work, as there just wouldn’t be enough time to pull it all together and cover things properly. What made this weekend different was that Joyce + Raymond’s day ended rather early and Carol + Bryan’s started rather late. To be extra careful, we also had Ray Roman (from Ray Roman films) fly in for Sunday for some extra backup.

For Joyce’s sde we were really inspired by the location, and they gave us a blank canvas on which we could create. We knew that something a little zany would be very fitting for them, and so after many sketches and chatting, the concept for their SDE was born.

For Carol’s SDE, we felt something a little more romantic would be very appropriate. While shooting the ceremony, I can rememeber the moment Bryan couldn’t make it through the vows and it hit me - this is their same day edit.

I edited and shot both pieces, but we also had some huge help from Casey of Mindcastle who shot Saturday with me and also helped out on Sunday (along with Ray).
