2011 RVP Wedding Season Film Trailer Review

2012-01-06T14:08:00.000-08:00

Below we have showcased some of our short wedding film trailers from 2011 and we hope that some of you will enjoy looking at them as we truly did try and capture a number of magical moments. Don't be shy to drop us a line telling us which one moved you the most.

Katie and Sigmund's wedding began at Brookstreet Hotel and ended at Lago with beavertails and lots of dancing, check out some of the moves ........it was hard to not dance ourselves as we were shooting!!!

Sarah and Maroun's day was full of funny moments ........Especially with Sarah's infectious laugh!

Ivonne and Nick showed off with their incredible camera moments which you can see at 1:15 and then topped it off with a very romantic kiss.

Sharon had her wedding dress and veil handmade in Sri Lanka and had to even fly back just before the wedding to have it adjusted.......check out her many different outfit changes and the jewellery!

As Cynthia was having her makeup and hair done, she showed us a picture of her wedding dress on her phone. It was so cool that her dress was featured in the window of McCaffrey's from where she bought it, and now on her special day she was just around the corner from there. How could we not capture that in her wedding film.....?

We don't preplan or rehearse shots from our wedding couples, unless there is a special request. Sometimes, however, we will ask a bride or groom to redo a movement if let's say there wasn't time to properly set a focus or exposure. Getting to meet the couple before their wedding and getting to know them is vital so that then they are able to relax and act naturally during their wedding day. That is why each and every one of our wedding films is uniquely different from one another, just like the couples!

Our first French wedding of the year had us working outside with sweltering warm temperatures at the Hilton at Lac Leamy. It was spectacular outdoor wedding without a tent. The flowers at the alter had to be constantly sprayed with water so that they wouldn't wilt. It was fun speaking French all day and all night!

Another very hot day ........but Christine and Steve hung in there like real troopers during the park session so that we could capture all of their beauty and love for each other in their wedding film!

Christa requested that we get a shot of her dog to be included in her wedding film and after many tries he gave us his best shot! Christa watched Jason going through some preplanned challenges from the bridal party from her parents bedroom while getting ready for the "first look".

Rarely do we see a father of the bride tie the final stages of her wedding dress, but here we have Megan's father doing his best and declaring that it is quite similar to tying up hockey skates. Brandon added a hilarious surprise for Megan before finally finding her garter.

Sarah was very concerned about the weather of her outdoor wedding when she arrived to get ready ...........due to the hurricane!!

It was amazing that mother nature did not disturb any of the planned outdoor activities despite the heavy winds and cold temperature. I remember freezing while filming outside and there was Sarah, in her sleeveless dress. never even uttering a complaint, amazing!

Our first Philippino wedding was amazing! Check out the cool running shoe gifts they gave their wedding party with the individual names written on the shoes. TJ. is a huge basketball fan, can you guess his favourite team by checking out the wedding colour theme?

We had so much fun shooting their park session at the Museum of Civilization with four photographers, with Celia and Bassam's good looks and ease in front of all the cameras, they caused quite a distraction for all the bystanders.

We had the pleasure of shooting Taban and Andre's wedding film not once, but twice! As you can see in this wedding trailer below, it was a cinematographer's dream come true with all of their colourful activities.

We knew when we met Chrisitine and Raja and got to know them before their wedding that they were a couple very much in love and that shooting their wedding film would be all that it was, amazing !!!!!!!

Melissa and Jason's wedding in November was a great way to end the season.........everybody got in the dancing spirit, even the little fellow who really put on a show.

It was a superb season!!! We are so grateful to all of our couples who let us capture their wedding films while being silent observers to such an important moment in their life.

Hope you enjoyed these wedding film trailers and perhaps even shed a tear or a giggle!!!

I cannot say enough about how nice Kathy is & how respectful and understands what we have to do. Although we pride ourselves working around photographers... we shoot mostly video journalism...we don't set up shots per say but Kathy is always checking if we got what we needed !!!

Merci Kathy to you and your team.

Next stop Mandy's crib... Viva Italia !!! She is so nice to us its impossible not to like her... wow she is stunning in her dress.

Absolutely an unbelievable weekend spent with Narin & Nayeem !!!

First Gaye Holud on Friday July 2nd then followed by a beautiful ceremony at the Museum of Civilization Saturday Night.

This is our first wedding shot entirely on HDSLR cameras & the results are a stunning image to say the least. The setting and colours worn by everyone helped of course.

I cant say enough about how much fun this couple had during the 2 day festivities. They truly enjoyed themselves and I think we captured this on their recap video. We delivered this on their Facebook page within 48hrs of their wedding so they could share this with there friends & family while everyone is still in wedding mode.

A longer musical montage & reality show will be delivered in the coming weeks.

I also had the pleasure of working with Baz Kanda a truly amazing photographer and all around really nice guy !!

Reno Video Productions invites you to come out and see us at the 2010 Ottawa Wedding show this Saturday and Sunday March 6 & 7 between 10am and 5pm. Booth # 604

http://www.ottawaweddingshow.com/

2010 will be an exciting year for Reno Video Productions as we launch our new wedding look
for Ottawa.

On October 10th 2009 We produced an amazing video for Marley & Andrew. This was shared on Facebook with hundreds of friends within the first week of their wedding day.

The response was overwhelmingly good & this is what Marley and Andrew had to say about the finish product:

“Sylvain and his team at Reno Video did an extraordinary job capturing the most special moments of our wedding day. They went out of their way to ensure that our entire wedding party felt comfortable in front of the cameras, while making an effort to be as discrete as possible.
The video itself was produced in a professional and timely manner, and far exceeded our expectations in terms of quality, design and execution. The wedding video was unlike any we had seen before; it was modern, fun, and very entertaining. Sylvain and his team not only focus on the major events of the day, but also capture the smaller details which really help to make the video special. It doesn’t matter how many times you watch it, each time you will come across another detail that you had previously missed.. I was extremely impressed with the video montages that Sylvain created, they were paired perfectly to music and really helped to emphasise the events of the day They are perfect to share with family and friends as they are not too long, yet extremely special.
Sylvain is a true master of his trade, and work speaks for itself. He strives for perfection and will do whatever it takes to ensure you receive the perfect video.

Thank you Reno Video for helping us preserve this very special occasion! ”
