A Sneak Peek from the JW Marriott

Renee’ & I got to finish out our last wedding of 2007 at the JW Marriott in Grand Rapids. We found Zach and Andrea through Nancy Dobry of RSVP Invitations & Bridal Consulting. Zach & Andrea had a beautiful ceremony at First Evangelical Covenant Church in Grand Rapids and then it was off to the JW Marriott, the brand new high-rise in the downtown Grand Rapids skyline. We had heard good things, but this was the first time that Renee’ & I filmed there and I have to say, it lived up to its reputation.

We were taken back by how beautiful the International Ballroom was decorated, which should be expected since Nancy, Marisa, and Amy from RSVP were in charge. The beautiful floral backdrop was created by Beth of Gumina Flowers.  Entertainment was provided by Rick Reuther Music Productions, you've gotta love live Christmas music.  Rick was very organized and did a great job of orchestrating the entire evening.  Zach & Andrea opted to have 2 large 42" plasmas to share their photo montage with their guests.

My favorite shots came at the end of the evening when Tim of Motley Cat Studio & I took Zach & Andrea outside the JW for some amazing shots by the glow of the JW Marriott.  Tim was great to shoot with, his energy is contagious.  This is the first time we have had the chance to shoot with Tim, we can't wait to see the great images that he captured.

We captured tons of great footage and now the process of telling Zach & Andrea's story begins.  After going through all of the footage, we can't wait to create their wedding day movie.  Until there here is a sneak peek of their wedding day.  Zach & Andrea thank you for treating us like family the entire day.  Enjoy your wedding movie trailer.
