Meredith & Mark – Wedding: Day After

Ryan Welch — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 00:41:31 +0000

What an amazing day yesterday for Meredith and Mark’s wedding. It was a great experience and everything was beautiful, from Meredith, Mark, wedding party and First Christian Church to the reception at Valley River Inn. (I’ve heard rumor that the food was great also, but I wouldn’t know first hand as we were under the gun to get the Same Day Edit finished).

Thanks to Brittney at the Valley River Inn, Elaine of First Christian Church and photographers, Aaron and Amber of New Morning Photography, for being great to work with.

Below, are a couple of stills pulled from the video. We’ll have the same day edit within a couple of hours – it’s encoding now.

Old Friendships & Kindred Spirits

This wedding season was one of the most epic in my history of shooting wedding films. It seems that old friends were getting married off, older friends children were growing up. I had the privilege of working with one of my dearest friends, Greg & Kim Lawless, Greg was one of the first people I clicked with upon my move to Oregon, he played in a band called Adam Again that have I always admired. That was about 12 years ago, well many encouraging conversations and countless cups of dark coffee later. My wife Lorrie and I watched their kids grow up all too quickly, and then this past summer, first their daughter Kelsey, and then their son Ryan took the marital plunge all within a 48 day period. Wow!

Here are a few shots from Kelsey & Kyle’s wedding, we will post some of Ryan & Lauren’s day down the road. One of my favorite things about shooting wedding films is that every couple is different, and those differences always come through in a finished wedding film, from the music to every subtle detail. I am looking forward to hitting the editing suite for my favorite Lawless kids soon.

Shooting in Portland Oregon

I got the chance to shoot another old friends wedding film in Portland earlier this year as well, Aaron and I met at a christian music festival called TomFest back in the day. Aaron is a great filmmaker in his own right, and we dig the same music, we went on to work on a couple of video projects together for Michael Knott. Aaron is an outstanding individual, then he finally met his match in Lyndsay…what a fantastic couple and I also had an opportunity to work with their photographer Jelani Memory, here are a couple of shots of Jelani’s from the gig and thanks to both Aaron & Lindsay for their friendship and collaborative spirit.
