an elario wedding

Posted in: Featured Videos, Video

November 14 2011

There is nothing like a behind the scenes video! Whenever I have the chance to watch something behind the scenes I’m all about it. Thats why I love sharing with you all what it’s like on a wedding day. I can’t thank my buddy Jason Valentine enough for capturing this for us. Jason is obviously a master behind his lens and one hell of an editor. I mean how do you take a day that was roughly 11 hours and get it into a video thats just under 7 minutes? That takes talent! I couldn’t be happier with this video and can’t wait to hear what you all think of it. Thanks to Tanya & Dylan for letting us film our behind the scenes at their wedding. So sit back, relax and check out An Elario Wedding, by Jason Valentine.

Peace,
JP

  2. Sidd Rishi (11.23.11) 

    Love your work!!!! Seriously one of the best I have seen.

    Thanks so much for posting the video as well.

    Cant wait to see pics from the next wedding you shoot.

  3. Chrissie (11.19.11) 

    YAY i loved it. It was so fun reliving it all and remebering how fun!

  4. Cherie Cole (11.16.11) 

    What can I say (this time I promise I will only say it once….hard to tell if the first post hits or not…..impatient Italians…meaning me). You guys are just the best…what a fun thing to watch and JP you are just the cutest damned thing…..oh, and quite handsome as well. Great job guys. Love to Joe, Sr…..handsome as ever too. Thanks for choosing Tanya and Dylan’s wedding.

  5. Cheryl (11.15.11) 

    I don’t think there is a better pair of photographers around. They captured the essence of what was truly a beautiful and wonderful time had by all! Thanks Joe’s!!!!

  6. Peter (11.15.11) 

    Should be an ad for Canon, Panerai, Calvin Klein and American Crew all in one. Great video–wish my photog put half the energy and enthusiasm you do into your job.

  7. Jean (11.15.11) 

    Watching this video reminds me of the first time I met Big Joe. It was at my friend Jen’s wedding and she got ready at the Gideon Putnam. I was there in the hotel room where he shot and it didn’t seem like there was much to work with. Well when I saw her proofs, there was the Elario magic and I knew that there was no other choice of photographer when I got married. You both are amazing! Love these videos, thanks for sharing!

  8. Sarah (11.15.11) 

    LOVE IT!!! Can’t wait for you to shoot our wedding!!

  24. Cathy Gatta (11.14.11) 

    That’s really great!

  25. Al Woodard (11.14.11) 

    Dude… So you are actually working your a.. off while you are out there. I thought Big Joe did all the work on wedding day, while you just B.S. with me and Hayden. Proved me wrong yet again. Awesome video Jason, your time lapses rocked it! Congrats on another great production fellas!

  26. Kris Ann (11.14.11)

  27. joe Elario (11.14.11)

November 9 2010

I can’t begin to tell you all how happy I am about this video piece I’m sharing with you today. My good friend Jason Valentine shot and edited this for me. Jason went above and beyond my expectations and really outdid himself on this one. We shot this at Tiffany and Jonathan’s wedding on 10/24/10 which is still to be blogged btw. I have to thank them for being an awesome couple and participating in this promotional piece. Believe it or not, I didn’t have the pleasure of  meeting Tiffany or Jonathan until their wedding day. As you can see we got along quite well! Oh and they happen to own the Putnam Den up in Saratoga Springs. It’s a live music venue you must check out! I hope you all enjoy this 3 minute look inside a wedding day with yours truly.

Peace,
JP

ps.. If you read anything in this post read Tiffany & Jonathan’s comment below… for me it says it all. Love you guys!

  1. Brian (11.19.10) 

    I just love this video you and what you do. I too enjoy shooting photography and have been following your site for a year now. I enjoy getting looking at what new photos your have shot and would love to know what gear you use more with Canon than Nikon since I use Canon as well. Thanks for sharing what you are shooting!

  2. Amy Laurin (11.11.10) 

    OK–so i thought i wanted a button before this video…well–i am a TOTAL groupie now! Why do I love this so much? I live for it! Simply and truly obssessed! i dabble in photography so getting to study JP’s ART is sooo much fun! once again—BANANAS!

  3. Kate (11.11.10) 

    I love this video! I am so happy we chose Joe and JP to photograph our wedding! Best decision by far in our wedding planning process.

  4. Lynette Curtin (11.11.10) 

    Uh, I’m not cool enough to know you (or really, just know OF you). Plain and simple. I feel like an Elario groupie. I love everything that you do and your video? Jason did a great job and you truly look like you aren’t “working” weddings, you’re enjoying them!

  5. Rudi (11.10.10) 

    Great video! You are so relaxed! Nice tie too JP! Mr. Valentine you did a great job!

  6. Girish (11.9.10) 

    That’s a fabulous video. It’s a great in-depth of faq about you. Great way to show behind-the-scenes of a wedding.

    It’s so good to see how to make the bride – groom relax. Mix with them..and end up getting great shots.

    Very inspiring.

  7. Marie (11.9.10) 

    Great Video guys!!! This makes me even more excited for my wedding!!!! 6 months!

  8. Mona (11.9.10) 

    I’m Mona, and I love seeing you guys photograph people in love :)

    This was awesome. I love the fist-pump-jump “YESSS” move. Beautiful bride and groom, what great energy to have as a promo shot. :)

    YAY!

  9. Sharon Wheaton (11.9.10) 

    this was awesome!!!!

  10. cindy (11.9.10) 

    Tiffany and Jonathan how beautiful, and you are right about being lucky to have Jp and his dad. My daughter was married 09/11/10 and she was spot on by choosing the Elairo’s as her photographers Every single person who saw their amazing work were blown away when they saw the magical results. Jp’s best source of advertisement is his work. Congratulations and amazing stuff Jp.

  11. Al Woodard (11.9.10) 

    YO! JP and Jason, this video completely rocks! I love to “story” behind the photographer. Even though i know you very well, after watching this 3 minute piece, I still feel like I learned a bit more about you as a person and photographer. Anyone who sees this knows that you are one very committed and enthusiastic individual. Great job on the production. Well Done gentlemen!

  12. Alayne (11.9.10) 

    OMG the whole entire thing was awesome! So fun, so cute, so real, so fabulous!!

  13. Jen (11.9.10) 

    Amazing, amazing, amazing. Truly! So sincere and so heartfelt. What a great video and a gorgeous couple!

  14. elisabeth (11.9.10) 

    Personally, I think so much of why your business and photos are a success is the attitude and genuine enthusiasm that you bring to every job you’re hired for. Whether it’s an e-shoot, wedding or family session, the energy and love that you have for your photographs transcends to the image you capture.

    And how cool is it that your Dad introduced you to and fostered your interest in photography! Kudos to Big Joe, as well!

  15. natalie (11.9.10) 

    aw, jp, you’re awesome, ’nuff said ;)

  16. Elaine (11.9.10) 

    Great video!! It really shows how much passion and enthusiasm you have for what you do! :)

  17. Jonathan and Tiffany (11.9.10) 

    WOW! What can we say? First I’ll need to stop crying so I can type… thank you for choosing our wedding to create this promotional piece- for trusting that we would all get along and we wouldnt be camera shy (haha). But thats really the gift of JP Elario- we felt so comfortable and at ease… like we had known you for years and our close friend was going to be capturing those sweet, intimate moments others don’t even recognize. Add to that amazing eye for details your ability to be every where at once and you’ve really got a wedding covered from every angle. Everytime we wanted to capture a moment and said to ourselves, where’s JP- he needs to be getting this, we would turn around and you were already there shooting away. At the end of it all… all of the planning, joy, anticipation… we only have our memories and our pictures of that day to hold with us… we’re so delighted we chose you to preserve some of the finest moments of the journey we began that day. From the bottom of our hearts- thank you….. One last quick shout out to your pops— I have a crush on him! (this is Tiffany not Jonathan- although I think he really liked Joe also lol) and where’s this “button” I keep reading about?

  18. Isabel (11.9.10) 

    Jp- You rock! your work is unreal….keep it up!

  19. kate (11.9.10) 

    I looooooooove this video!! You are the best. I can’t wait until you photograph my wedding! Where is my button?

  20. Jennifer (11.9.10) 

    I am inspired by your work I have to say ….. I hope that one day I am as good as you! Great Job!!!!

  21. Dana Sheehan (11.9.10) 

    Great video, JP! I love how excited you get! It really puts the couple at ease that they’re getting great shots.

time for some video

Posted in: Best Of, Featured Videos, News, Video, Weddings

April 30 2010

With wedding season officially underway I thought it would be fun to kick it off with a little video. Really, this is just a bunch of stuff complied into 6:25 of fun. Thanks to the one and only Al Woodard for hooking me up with clips starting from April of 2009 to November of 2009. I quickly edited this little piece and threw some Dave behind it because Dave just sounds better when its nice outside. It’s basically a fun little compilation of me & Big Joe doing our thing with some beautiful stuff Al captured last season. I know you all like the video so lets get into it.

Peace,
JP

  5. Ryan Gladstone (05.3.10) 

    Really love the behind-the-scenes look at what you do. It is clear you two and your wedding parties have A LOT of fun while shooting.

  6. Mona (05.2.10) 

    Another fun thing to try – reading your guys’ lips as you’re guiding the bridal party, or talking to the camera! Fun fun :)

  7. Alissa (05.2.10) 

    I LOVE THIS!!! This is the first video footage I’ve seen from the wedding and I am so pumped! Thanks so much for posting this!

  8. Katie O' (05.2.10) 

    I LOVE this….it brings back SO many awesome memories from Alissa + Shane’s Wedding day…seriously one of the MOST fun weddings ever. Thanks for sharing this!!

  9. joe Elario (05.2.10) 

    Mr Woodard (aka director) instructed the duck thing , he really did.

  10. Sonia (05.2.10) 

    This video generates so much excitement! What a fabulous team! I can’t wait….3 more weeks! Great work guys!!! P.S. I love these video segments in the blog! More please:)

  11. Kim (05.2.10) 

    Wow! How fun to see you both in action! our family cannot wait until June!! By the way, do you always coordinate your ties to the bridal party color scheme or is it coincidence? Either way, you guys are a class act!

  12. Nicole (05.2.10) 

    So Fun! It is amazing to watch all of you work and this is so great to watch…to see the motion and how things all come together. Dream Team is the perfect term Mona…Posts like these make 2010 brides like me OVER THE TOP excited for the big day. Thanks for putting the footage together and sharing :-)

  13. natalie (05.1.10) 

    Hah! this was so fun to watch! how did al get the ducks to do that at the same time? :)

  14. Anthony (05.1.10) 

    It was nice to see some of my own bride and grooms, Sean & Jaimee, Shane & Alissa having so much fun on their wedding day. once they leave the tux shop I don’t ever get to see them enjoying their wedding day. I do get invited occassionally but unless it is an obligatory family to a friend I don’t often go. I’m thankful for the photos and thank you notes couples send so I can see what they looked like together, but I really appreciated the live action. JP you are a show unto yourself. It was so funny that it seemed you were moving to the music at times even though the music was after. You have an entertainers personality, I’m not sure what side of the camera you should be on :o) TC

  15. Mona (04.30.10) 

    Love it, love it, LOVE it. :) Made me smile all over again. Loved seeing all the other bride and grooms who had the dream team of you and your dad, and the one and only Al Woodard. :)

    After seeing so many of the couples in pictures, it was so nice seeing them actually moving about and laughing and such. Well done. Proud to be among those captured by you guys. Fun. :D <3

  16. Lisa (04.30.10) 

    LOL!! I LOVE this!! I am so glad Jerome and I doing our farmer dance in a field is at least set to Tripping Billies!!! Keep up the GREAT work guys! Can we do it again?? PLEASE!!!!

  17. Kara D (04.30.10) 

    Makes me even more excited for 64 days from today!! Shout out to the Big Joe and Little Joe 2010 Brides to be! It’s almost here ladies!

  18. Maria (04.30.10) 

    The two of you are a class act!

  19. Elizabeth (04.30.10) 

    This is awesome! I’m getting SO excited for August!!!

  1. Brian (05.26.10) 

    I would be interested in knowing what canon gear you carry with you in your bag.

  2. Valerie (02.6.10) 

    Part 2 was great! You guys should definitely do a workshop! I have a Canon that I would LOOOOVE to get some “real” training on…. only so many books I can read :)
    As always, great job Elario’s!

  3. Alayne (02.4.10) 

    Hey guys, of course I love the what time should everyone be ready question. FYI, Many always say that the bride should go last for hair and makeup. Not so… She should go first or in the middle so no one rushes on her preperations. She is the most important one and you guys are ALWAYS early!!

  4. Lelia (02.2.10) 

    One more question, if it hasn’t already been asked. How much processing do you do on your photos? Any photoshop actions? Do you use Rad Actions?

  5. Rose (01.30.10) 

    I really enjoy your blog – it’s fun to get to know my cousins. I would also love to attend your workshop – photography is a great hobby of mine.

  6. Sonia (01.30.10) 

    JP, love, love, love this segment! You are both great on camera! What about your own television show??!!Hope to see more of these segments!

  7. Johan (01.28.10) 

    Thanks for the Nikon Canon answer :) that makes sense to me… Its about getting the shot. I personally agree with your dad… the ergonomics of a Nikon is what i love about them.

  8. Mona (01.27.10) 

    Wait, actually that was three questions for me. Thaaaaanks :)

    Ditto on the workshop. Of course I’ll someday need to buy more than my rectangular point and shoot thing. :)

  9. Allison (01.26.10) 

    You guys do great work! Keep it up.

  10. Bob (01.26.10) 

    My jacket was on the entire night! Great stuff guys, and if you ever do a workshop, you know I’ll be there.

  11. Mona (01.26.10) 

    Two thumbs up! Look at me, I got TWO (actually, two and a half) questions answered. :) Awwww. Thanks guys!!! You really *do* like me! (Or maybe it’s because I asked a thousand questions…) :D

    Loving the Q&A. I have no doubt that as the night goes on, your jacket will be on. I think Andrew kept his on the whole time too. :)

    Thanks again guys for taking the time to do all this. Love it!

  12. Kate (01.26.10) 

    I think my father said it best, “[Your talent] is truly an artistic gift that could never be learned ( only inherited)!” Now, for all of these sponsorship mentions, as someone in digital marketing, I have to ask…why don’t you have ads on your blog? You should get on that…there is a lot of revenue to be earned!!

    Keep up the good work! :)

  13. Al Woodard (01.26.10) 

    You fellas rock! Informative, nicely paced, fun & funky. Bring on part 3!

  14. Kat (01.26.10) 

    My father always said, “a true gentleman always keeps jacket on!” SO I’ll be watching!! And I would sooooo sign up for a work shop! Let me know if you do it! I’ll bring a banana for Pops and resese for you!
