Gina and Jason's Love Story

Yesterday was the Wedding of our dear friends Gina and Jason.  It was a beautiful and emotional event at the Greentree Country Club in New Rochelle.  Along with being in the Bridal Party, Gina and Jason asked me to create a Love Story to be viewed before their entrance into the Reception.  For the Wedding Day itself JPI Cinematographer Sean King filmed the event while my friend and Mineola Office Mate David from www.davidedwardphoto.com photographed the Wedding.  It was our honor to be so involved in Gina and Jason's special day and we look forward to sharing with you the images captured!  We had a complete blast last night and enjoyed the months of preparation and anticipation.

On a technical note this is one of the first projects that I used my new Canon EOS 7D HD DSLR Camera on.  I love the cinematic look this camera helps bring to the piece!

Stacy and Andrew's Highlight Reel

 

Stacy and Andrew had a beautiful August Wedding at the De Seversky Center, which is on the campus of NYIT in Old Westbury, NY.  That day we had the pleasure of working with an amazing photographer, Alison Conklin.  You can check out Alison's work at www.alisonconklin.com.

Allison and Jarrett's Wedding Trailer Milleridge Cottage

Allison and Jarrett had a beautiful Winter/Christmas Time Wedding at the Milleridge Cottage in Jericho, NY.  Milleridge had a lot of Holiday Spirit with the Christmas Village set up across the street, as did Allison and Jarrett who were willing to brave the cold to take some outdoor photos.

You may have noticed portions of this video have a bit of a new look.  That's because we started to use a new Canon Camera, the 7D, for an even more cinematic feel.  However it was very important to us that even though we are using a new, and hot in the industry, camera that the work still have the JPI feel.

I hope you enjoy the clip!

Happy New Years!

I’d like to wish all of my friends, family, clients, and future clients a Happy and Healthy 2010.  When looking forward to the New Year I really prefer to focus on what I accomplished in the year past.  Rather then making my Resolution List based on faults, I prefer to make it based on building upon the positives and accomplishments made so far.  2009 was one of the best years for JPI Films and myself personally.  I’d like to share with you the highlights.

-Opening a Satellite Office in Mineola.  After years of meeting clients out of our office in Wading River we finally opened a meeting space in Mineola right by the LIRR Station, a short ride from Penn Station.  The office has helped us expand our business!  At this point we have more Weddings booked for 2010 then we did in the entirety of 2009, with the prime months of booking 2010 Weddings still to come!

-Awards!  We won a 1st Place Award in LIVA’s Competition in January and then won another Internationally Recognized Event Video Award in September when we won our first WEVA Creative Excellence Award.  WEVA’s CEA is the most recognized and prestigious Award in the Event Videographer Community.  View our Award Winning Clip!

-The Knot’s Best of Weddings 2010.  JPI Films was voted as one of the Best Wedding Vendors!  We are so thrilled to be included on this list, voted on by actual brides, and are looking forward to seeing our name in the coming Magazine and Best of Weddings Website!  www.theknot.com

-Voted LIVA President.  This is perhaps my proudest accomplishment.  The Long Island Videographers Association is one of the largest and oldest Local Professional Videographer Associations in the country.  LIVA members include some of the best and most artistic Event Film Makers in the Area and World, who come together monthly to discuss ideas and share work for the betterment of the Event Video Community.  I have believed in and loved LIVA since the first meeting I went to so naturally I’m honored and excited about the possibility of leading it into the New Year!  www.liva.org

Thanks to all of my friends and family for making 2009 a success.  Thank you to my brides and grooms who have inspired me to create Masterpiece Wedding Films!  I look forward to a fantastic 2010!

The Beginning of Lee-Ann and Zach's Wedding Film

Today I'd like to share with you the first 5 minutes from the Wedding Film of Lee-Ann and Zach.  This segment is a great example of how our Masterpiece Wedding Films start.  In this clip is our Intro, which usually does some time-shifting or fore-shadowing of what's to come in the video, followed by the Getting Ready, which has a healthy dose of live audio which really brings out the story of the day.  Lee-Ann and Zach's Wedding took place at The Inn at East Wind in Wading River, NY.  I hope you enjoy this clip!

Karen and Rogelio's Wedding Trailer Southampton

It's always fun when one of our couples, like Karen and Rogelio, want us to roll some Super 8mm Film on their Wedding Day!  There are filters out there, but nothing simulates the look like the real thing!  Karen and Rogelio had a beautiful Halloween Wedding in Southampton.  The Church was at Our Lady of Poland, which looked amazing, and the reception was at the hard to find Whitefield Estate.  I was joined on this job by Cinematographers Sean and Aurora.
