When Maria first met Sam, they were both looking for a roommate, but they wound up finding a lifetime love. We were thrilled to film their creative Chicago wedding at the Newberry Library. From the ornate paper details, to the string quartet and DJ, to the surprise swing first dance, this celebration had Maria & Sam’s personal and unique touch all over it. Congrats you two! Enjoy! P.S. we still have to get some Lou Malnati’s real soon!

It was a joy to capture the wedding of Kristi & Tony, two people who started out as friends but over time the relationship developed into much more. The day started with getting ready at the Four Seasons with the girls and the guys at The James. As the morning unfolded, very thoughtful gifts were prepared for the other person and delivered in creative ways. It was interesting to capture these preparations knowing that each of them would later see the ‘behind the scenes’ of the how the gifts came together. Tony (an avid Michael Jackson fan) did an especially nice touch by sending Kristi some clever photos on a new camera. After a touching ceremony, we moved on to the reception at The Ivy Room. Kristi liked this venue because she wanted to be in the heart of Chicago but in an intimate and romantic place that would make you forget that you were on State Street. The cocktail hour in the garden fit this bill perfectly. At the reception during the band break, we set up the projector and presented this Same Day Edit to give the newlyweds and their guests a nice recap of the day. The film starts with a brief snippet from Tony’s speech at the rehearsal dinner …
LIVE REACTIONS
A Same Day Edit is a great way for you to entertain your guests and add a special and very memorable touch to your celebration. It’s also a nice way for you and your new mate to sit back and relive the day (which goes by in a blur), and to discover touching moments that you wouldn’t have seen otherwise.
Have you heard about a Same Day Edit but have never actually seen one? Well here’s your chance! Play the video below to see how Kristi & Tony experienced their film with family and friends at their reception at the Ivy Room. I would tell you about it, but it’s much better if you just experience it for yourself. Have a look!

The rehearsal dinner has a different feel than other wedding events. A great time with the closest friends and family. It’s pretty laid back and very personal, and as you’ll see, it’s also a great opportunity to capture some great speeches. This is exactly the type of event that you should be capturing on film to cherish. Can you imagine Tony’s grandchildren watching this story of what he wrote to Grandma back in high school? In addition to rehearsal dinner coverage, we also created a “Through the Years” slideshow of old and recent photos. Watch to see Kristi and Tony experience this presentation with this intimate group.
We plan to include this clip on Kristi & Tony’s Wedding Film DVD in the ‘bonus features’ section. If you’d like to know more about how Emotia can help you cherish and share great moments like this, get in touch! We’d love to hear from you.
