Last weekend's wedding took us high atop the city to Mt. Washington. Lauren and Mike were married at St. Mary of the Mount Parish. After a few preparation shots with the groom, the bride arrived in the Limo. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. Lauren and her attendants were absolutely stunning. I am becoming a fan of the "hair down" look and Lauren's gold locks perfected it!
The ceremony went off without a hitch and exactly on time...as all weddings at this parish do. It was a catholic mass and we ran 3 cameras because of an angel requested by the bride. I can't wait to download the tapes and see how it really went (this camera was static on a tripod).
After the ceremony and some formal shots, we got thrown out of the church and off to the West End Overlook we went. This was out 3rd wedding with Dino, and again, we had a blast. He came up with some awesome shots at the Overlook and I was happy to check it out, cause we had never been there before.
Then we headed to Le Mont for the reception. As a guest, the wedding was perfect, the dances were all very nice and the food was probably pretty good. HOWEVER, I must say, for such a high class resturaunt, they sure don't treat the wedding vendors very well. We asked for a table to eat, and the guy in charge rudely told us "NO" with no explaination. After an awesome salad, we were handed a plate of cold pasta. It's pretty bad when the people that park your cars are nicer than the staff inside.
Done ranting... the reception was georgeous and we got some good footage. The set up here presents a challenge because of the tightness and the windows everywhere, but we worked around it pretty well. CONGRATULATIONS Lauren and Mike and thanks for making us part of your day!
