Cap & David's beautiful, chill, intimate summer wedding

6/8/2019

1 Comment

 
Upon meeting Cap & David, it was apparent pretty much immediately that not only are they deeply in love but they are pretty amazing human beings. It was so enjoyable for us to be able to capture all the sweet, intimate moments between the two of them throughout the day, and the cozy, laid back setting was truly something special. They couldn't be more happy to be starting this chapter together and I loved how they stripped away a lot of the frills to focus on what is most important to them; each other and their loved ones. With the backdrop of a gorgeous private residence in Essex, MA Cap and & David created a celebration that was truly their own and it was truly our pleasure to create this longer format film for them to capture it all. 

The Must-See Moments:
  • The story of their 2nd date; how amazingly supportive Cap was of David's career and values right off the bat. Not to mention David's selflessness. Their second date!

  • The breaking away from tradition to get ready for their big day together, just the two of them. 

  • HER DRESSSSSS. She pulls off a stunning two-piece number like nobody's business. And just wait until you see the shoes. And her cape as part of their traditional Filipino formal wear. She slays. 

  • The way David looks at Cap at 6:13. Swoon.

  • "The fact that you aren't 'man and wife' but 'Cap and David' is really just the only way it should be." They started off their life together, by walking together down the aisle at the start of the ceremony. 

  • Literally every moment of their exchanging vows. 

  • The story of how they ended up at their reception venue. Again, these two really couldn't be more selfless individuals. 
    ​
  • If their first dance isn't enough to have you obsessed with them, then their reception exit most certainly will. 
    ​
And as always, a major thank you to the other amazing humans who helped turn Cap & David's vision for their celebration into reality: ​

Katie & Zirui's classic, touching wedding celebration

5/16/2019

0 Comments

 
As Katie and I worked together to plan for her wedding film, I was repeatedly struck by how genuinely all aspects of the day were designed to echo the sentiment of how deeply she and Zirui care not only for each other, but for the family and friends in attendance. Their love for each other is palpable from their heartfelt letters exchanged prior to the ceremony, to the way they and their relationship are described by those closest to them, and culminating with their beautiful toasts to each other during the reception. It was also extra special to know that they were married in the same church as Katie's parents! It was an honor to celebrate their love story and take in every gorgeous detail; from the soft pink color palette to the delicate illusion buttons trailing down Katie’s back to the tender moments after their first minutes of marriage - Katie and Zirui’s wedding was one for the books!

The Must-See Moments:
  • The absolutely adorable way Zirui is described by his friend and groomsman, Mike, followed by his sharing the even more adorable way Zirui describes Katie. Swoon.

  • The sweetest, most genuine exclamation by Katie upon reading a letter from her soon-to-be husband. Also, Zirui deserves a serious shoutout for his gorgeous handwriting.

  • The beautiful, unique musical addition to their traditional ceremony from Katie’s father. 

  • The tangible excitement and emotion sweeping the room as Katie walks down the aisle, through the vows, and after the first kiss. Seriously, do aisle moments ever get old?!

  • That. Dress. Those buttons, the lace detail - it was stunning. Props to Vows in Watertown, MA for that Martina Liana treasure!

  • A little pop of color during a classic New England mid-afternoon passing summer shower. Thanks to Flowers By Steve for keeping things bright!​​

Fun Filled Summer Wedding At Boston's Battery Wharf Hotel

3/12/2019

1 Comment

 
​From office work colleagues to school love, Chris was determined to make Kerri fall for him. Joining in on her group project for their class, Chris began to woo Kerri with his comic attitude. Constantly messaging “Total Babe for Sure” Kerri, he began to grow on her. Rigging a game of Black Jack, Chris won his first date with Kerri, and their love blossomed from there. 
  • Proposal. Chris planned a romantic walk on the beach with Kerri, in which he refused to take his shoes off. Kerri, warning Chris of the mishap that could happen, turns around to help him after seeing him fall to his knee out of the corner of her eye. To her surprise, Chris did not fall, but in fact he dropped down to one knee, and asked for her hand in marriage.
  • Wedding 5K. The morning of their wedding, Team Bride and Team Groom rallied for a pre-wedding 5K for their good friend whose father had been diagnosed with ALS. They ran a 5K bright and early, even after a long and fun rehearsal dinner, the night before. The members of their bridal party as well as some of their family also joined in to support ALS. It just shows you how selfless people can be, even on one of the most important days of their life!
  • Toasts. Kerri’s maid of honor offers a charming tale of how she got to know her best friend’s soul mate. Chris’ best man then takes the stage, offering kind and supportive words before he breaks out in song. A lyrical tale about bromance and true friendship had the bride and groom, as well as the crowd, doubled over in laughter.

Here's a sampling of just a few of the moments captured so beautifully by Justine Yandle Photography! Be sure to check outJustine on Facebook to see more!!

Loving Outdoor Summer Wedding of Amanda & Chris

11/16/2018

0 Comments

 
There are many different ways a love story can start, from bumping into each other at the office to meeting in a hilarious inconvenience. Another very common scenario is when your friend knows exactly what kind of person you are looking for and happens to know just the right person for you. In Amanda and Chris’ case, that’s exactly what happened. Their mutual friend Brandon saw the potential for love and he made sure to introduce them. “The rest is history”, as Brandon says.
 
A couple years later, love blossomed between Amanda and Chris. After falling head over heels in love and realizing they didn’t want to spend life without each other, they decided to tie the knot! This wedding was definitely a labor of love as this couple created their own wedding with stunning DIY décor and hand made products from Etsy.
 
Here at Next Level Films, we were honored to capture such a marvelous wedding. That’s why we wanted to share a few highlights from Amanda & Chris’ loving outdoor nuptials with you. If you are in search of wedding inspiration, be sure to continue reading to discover more:

  • Capturing the vows. Your wedding vows are the opportunity to declare your love and commitment to your partner in front of all your loved ones. You will share your dedication and willingness to make your marriage amazing, as well as your promises to each other in life. Amanda and Chris shared their excitement to watch and be a part of the person they will become through life’s journey. They shared their eagerness to learn from each other and support each other. They became one, with one goal in mind, and working together through life’s hardships and triumphs as one. They chose each other for the rest of their lives.
  • Heartwarming speeches. It’s always such a happy experience to have your loved ones wish you all the happiness in the world. Speeches are the perfect opportunity for encouraging and heartfelt words. Amanda’s father brought the crowd to tears with the amazing story of the day that Amanda was brought home to meet her new family. Amanda’s sister hit the guests with another tear jerker, welcoming her adopted sister’s new husband into the family. She assured him that although “Amanda did not grow under their mother’s heart, she grew in her heart”, and Amanda was family no matter the genetics, as is her new husband. Chris’ best friend also offered his excitement and well wishes. There was surely not a lack of love and happiness within their family and friends.
  • Dancing. It’s custom to celebrate such a joyous event with dancing. Amanda and Chris’ wedding featured happy and beautiful dancing. These loving newlyweds embraced each other for their first dance, sealing it with a romantic kiss. The guests enjoyed each other’s company and dance moves, as they joined hands creating a full dance circle. The feeling of cheer could be felt in the air.
 
Weddings are a beautiful event where two families become one, the road is paved for a new generation, and two soul mates join together to embark on their journey through life. It’s something you surely won’t want to miss, and Amanda and Chris’ wedding surely didn’t disappoint. Here at Next Level Films, we want to help you capture the magic of your big day.

Vanessa and Adam's Romantic Waterfront Wedding at Misselwood at Endicott College in Beverly, MA

1/30/2017

0 Comments

 
​When you look back on the moments that made your life as incredible as it is, often times you will see growing up, the family you made and the family you were given, the lessons you learned in life, perhaps the birth of your own children, and of course, the moment you didn’t have to walk through life alone. Your wedding day is such a pivotal moment in your life, as you embrace your true love, and begin creating a life together.
 
For Vanessa and Adam, they stole each other’s heart and became best friends, loving each other for 3,700 days before saying their “I do’s”. Celebrating their life commitment in hues of champagne, gold, and blush, they created a romantic event. This elegant and timeless wedding also held a vintage flair.
 
Here at Next Level Films, we were honored to be present to capture this heartwarming day. We enjoyed it so much, we just had to share it with you. If you enjoy a magical love story, be sure to keep reading to learn more:

  • Getting ready and pre-wedding notes. Joined by her loyal sister and closest girls in her life, Vanessa slides into her stunning white wedding dress. Before Vanessa makes her grand walk down the aisle, she opens a pre-wedding gift from her fiancé Adam, a love letter. Acknowledging everything they do for each other, the journey that they have already started together, and how much Vanessa has always been there with him, Adam expresses how excited he is for them to be together forever.
  • Capturing the venue. This vintage fairytale wedding took place waterside at Misselwood at Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts. This classic, brick college had more to offer this wedding than it’s vintage building. From lush, rolling green, and whimsical vine growth, to a stunning view and a beach with peaceful waves, this couple certainly chose a naturally beautiful venue to join each other in marriage. Their wedding took place waterside, giving their guests a beautiful view and providing their wedding photos and video with a naturally beautiful backdrop. The little details also made this venue a lovely choice, such as an architecturally graceful water fountain and black iron fences. Vanessa and Adam surely weren’t at a loss for wedding beauty.
  • Organic moments with the wedding party. Congratulating and encouraging the groom, the groomsmen are more than happy to express their joy for such a touching event. Playful shoving, skipping, and hugging, the groomsmen brought a lively energy to the big day, creating a fun mood for everybody to enjoy. The bride’s maid of honor, better known as her sister, joined her in joyous dancing upon the dance floor, later followed by the rest of her bridesmaids.
 
Although fairytales have you under the impression that “happily ever after” is marrying your soul mate, they couldn’t be more wrong. It’s the years that you get to spend creating memories, building a life and family, and enjoying those precious moments that are the happily ever after. Here at Next Level Films, we would love the opportunity to help you capture the beginning to your happily ever after. If you are interested in planning your Boston wedding videography, be sure to contact us today.
