The groom is a film maker who knew just what he wanted. He asked us to shoot just a few moments in Super 8 Film that he would use along with video shot by Open Eye Media of New York to create the final video.
It was a treat to shoot Super 8 Film and create a dreamy home movie feel. Here is one minute of the footage we captured.

I just finished editing this wedding for a couple that were married in August at Pittsfield Vermont's beautiful Riverside Farm. Watch this 3 minute preview, the last shot is of the bride walking down the aisle hand in hand with her father toward her new life. This short piece of video (about :10 seconds of the brides walk) conveys the anticipation, nervousness, fatherly love, and joy like no other medium can.
Enjoy.

What the bride said:
"Tweed River Video captured our day perfectly. We loved working with their team and couldn't have been happier!

I had the pleasure of making a video of my niece's wedding last week. She had a beautiful, small ceremony with just immediate family. I edited the video and she screened it at the Saturday night party.

I'm thrilled to begin this spring with a new weapon in my battle against the stereotype of the cheesy wedding video. I take only a limited number of wedding projects each summer so that I can remain fresh, attentive and enthusiastic with each couple, the rest of the time I work on other broadcast and corporate projects. This spring my videography and editing work on one of those (
Vermont Spotlight) was nominated for the New England Emmy awards.

I studied painting at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and Film at NYU, then started a career in documentary filmmaking in New York City. I soon realized the city life was not for me. After time in Aspen and in Rockport Maine I came to Vermont for a seasonal television job in the ski industry and never left. I have run my own video production business, Madmotion, llc., since 1996.
I started Tweed River Video specifically for wedding video work in 2003. In addition to weddings I continue to work in documentary, commercial and sports video production and design.
