Gone in a flash…

To the newly engaged couple:

You may not believe it now, but your wedding day will come and go before you know it.  All the months of hard work and planning will play out over several hours and then it’s done!  Once the last piece of cake has been eaten and the last floral arrangement has wilted, all there is to look back on the day with are the film and photos.  Of course the photos are a great way to remember special moments by, but nothing compares to being able to relive your day with a film!  Leila planned an amazing destination wedding to New Orleans and had this to say after seeing her film for the first time:

“EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR WEDDING CAPTURED ON FILM! We had the most amazing time at our wedding weekend in New Orleans! Dave + team were fabulous and truly captured the essence of the weekend and our favorite moments. Pictures are amazing but film is the only way to truly capture these precious moments in time to remember forever. The celebration all goes by so fast and being able to hear your vows and Maid of Honor’s toast again and see yourself dancing with your dad is priceless. This is such an important celebration in your life and you put so much time, energy and money into it and you want to be able to relive it forever. We were so fortunate to have had CinemaCake as part of our big day and we are so glad we made it happen. They are the BEST!!!!”

There will be so much of the day that you won’t get to see with your partner and watching back these moments will be one of the best post-wedding experiences.  The biggest part of the day you’ll experience separately is Bride or Groom prep, when you are each getting ready with your members of the bridal party and family.  These small, special moments make up a lot of our film for a really good reason: your partner won’t be there to see any of it!  With your film, he will now get to see your father’s expression when he sees you for the first time, and you’ll be able to see all the fun he’s having with his groomsmen.  Personal moments like these add so much to your film, like the particularly special moment that Janie noted after watching her film several times.
“Every. single. person. could not believe that you were actually present and were capturing the moments that were seen on the film. After the third and fourth viewing, people still commented that they couldn’t believe you were there at that particular moment because they just didn’t see you. For instance, I clearly remember being surprised with jewelry by Kenny’s mom before the ceremony and thinking to myself, “I wish Dave was here to capture this.” And you were!!! You and Jimmy blended in so seamlessly with the background that no moment felt staged. Everything was authentic.”
