time for some video

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

    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.

  5. 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 :)

  6. 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!

  7. 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!!

  8. joe Elario (05.2.10) 

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

  9. 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:)

  10. 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!

  11. 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 :-)

  12. natalie (05.1.10) 

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

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. 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!!!!

  16. 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!

  17. Maria (04.30.10) 

    The two of you are a class act!

  18. Elizabeth (04.30.10) 

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

our wedding: jessica claire style!

Posted in: News, personal stuff

April 5 2010

Well… here they are! Drumroll please………. Our wedding photos! If you follow me on twitter or facebook you’ve probably already been saw these. If not, here we go! I can’t even begin to get into how freaking excited I was when I saw these images. Being a photographer it’s not often you get to see yourself on the other side of the camera, it’s just funny to me. I’m super thrilled with the job our photographer Jessica Claire did with these images. Jess brought photographer Kamee Nuzman and they were both so awesome to spend the day with! I could go on for days but I’ll let the images speak! Since you all let me share your photos with the world I thought it would only be fair for me to share our wedding images with you! Oh and here is the direct link to the post Jessica did on her blog.

Peace!
JP

Shoe’s are always a big deal right?

A glimpse of Kris Ann’s gown.

Kris Ann’s bouquet was all cattleya orchids. Yellow is my favorite color so you know I loved the centers on this.

Kris Ann getting “made fabulous

WOW!

Really am I lucky or what? She looked so damn beautiful!

My turn for the getting ready pics… this was the point of the day where all my nerves went away. Really when Al, Jess & Kamee showed up I was like “ok, let’s go! I’m ready.”

Ahhh and now the time piece! Kris Ann & I gave each other some sweet Rolex’s for our gifts. Her’s is an awesome Air King with a white dial. And mine… The steel Daytona with the white dial. A note about this watch is it is next to impossible to get. You’ll never see them in a display case and if a dealer is lucky enough to actually get one it’s already spoken for. But I got it, and I love it! ;)

Jess did a nice job here making me look like cool.

Time for our first look!

I love these images. especially the one on the left. Jessica shot these with my 200mm 1.8L

Happy!

I love this b&w! So awesome.

I think we might have been laughing at the killer ducks of congress park in this image. Seriously you should have seen them chasing everyone.

Wow! Just wow. I love these images of my beautiful wife.

Remember this?

So awesome!

The ceremony space… Since we’ve all done the ceremony in this room the long ways Kris Ann & I wanted to switch it up. Give the room a twist.

Seriously this space was off the hook!

Lots & lots of candles!

Gotta blog one of me & Big Joe!

Before we got married Kris Ann did a little hair change. She added a beautiful birdcage veil as well. I was a big fan of this look as well.

Can we say nervous… Not nervous to get married nervous I was going to knock Kris Ann into the stream. Anyone who knows me know’s I can’t stand still so this was a tough spot. Props to Jess with this image. The light, the setting its by far the most romantic one of this whole collection.

Anyone who know’s Kris Ann’s dad absolutely loves him including myself. He did a spectacular job walking her down the aisle, I couldn’t wait to shake his hand and then take Kris Ann’s.

Great moment.

Since Kris Ann & I are big Dave Matthews fans I had John Charles Cook play “Ant’s Marching” for our processional song. This was a big hit and let our guests know it’s party time!

Jess refers to this shot as “kind of a mistake “. I think its awesome. I love the motion and graininess.

Now to our fantastic space!

I love all the designs Kris Ann came up with the room looked so good.

These couches from Renaissance Floral Design were a huge hit!

Just an all around great image.

This ones even better!

We never left the dance floor.

Debbie Coye did an incredible job on our cake!

But the big surprise was from Krista Washburn and Well Wed Magazine! Ben & Jerrys! That was so freaking cool. Thanks Krista!

And thats a wrap!
