One of the most touching, soulful, and most complex events we ever had to shoot. All the way in green and wonderful Georgia, about two hours north of Atlanta, in a lovely mountain town called Yong Harris a slew of guests partook in this three day wedding weekend, where New Yorkers mixed in with the locals, and enjoyed the sweet and spicy flavors of southern cooking paired with famous southern hospitality. But don’t take it from us – this is what the New York Times had to say about this lovely wedding:

Sarah Rebecca Swanson and Dr. Robert Stephen Brown Jr. are to be married Sunday at the Brasstown Valley Resort and Spa in Young Harris, Ga. Stone Zvi Altman, the leader of Mountain Synagogue in Franklin, N.C., is to perform a traditional Jewish ceremony…

Just before the Labor Day weekend we packed our bags, and flew to Atlanta, GA, then drove to Young Harris, GA singing “Georgia on My Mind”, to photograph this three day destination wedding of Sarah Swanson, the owner os Swanson Skincare & Bobby Brown, an illustrious surgeon and educator from New York.

New Rochelle Wedding Video

 

Venue: VIP Country Club www.vipcountryclub.com
Church: The College of New Rochelle www.cnr.edu

Hot off the presses this wedding video trailer is a more polished and complete version of the same day edit wedding video showcased here http://luxphotostudios.com/2012/03/same-day-edit-wedding-video/ last week. The difference between the two versions are apparent: we had way more time to go through and select footage as well as play around with the audio. The new version features more detail shots, panoramic and dolly views, crane-like shots, voiceovers, and footage from the dance floor – something that the same day edit video (SDE) could not encompass.

In this pre-season New York wedding we tried some of our new wedding videography equipment: a portable dolly, a steady-cam for a DSLR, and a few more tricks that will be fully shown in the final feature-length film. As the wedding season approaches our NY crew is fully geared-up to meet all the challenges that wedding videography and especially same day edits may pose.

Featured on Project Global Love by Smitten

 

Recently we received a lovely email from the British event planner Carmen Yuen-Stevenson, also known as simply Carms. It read:

“Dear Lux Photo Studios,

I’m a UK wedding planner and I came across your blog after searching for wedding photography in Uzbekistan – the reason behind this is I have recently started to work on a blog project called Global Love. It is not only a personal project but also because I would like to highlight more on worldwide weddings. The aim is to feature one wedding from one country only.

Having come across this particular wedding on your blog – http://luxphotostudios.com/2011/12/wedding-in-uzbekistan/ – I was indeed very excited.

It would be an absolute honour to be able to feature this beautiful wedding of yours.

Warm Regards
Carmen”

How can we refuse such a nice letter?! In a few days lovely Carms featured one of our favorite weddings on her Smitten website.

We look forward to seeing more weddings from different and exotic parts of the globe to be featured by Carms and her team. We will certainly be honored to contribute more of our works as well. To be continued!
