Kim & David's Love Story and Wedding

This couple had a fantastic back story that they wished to document in an engagement video session. First, we performed a private video shoot in Downtown Portland. Then, both of them were interviewed separately (using two cameras) and were asked the same questions. Then, through the magic of editing, their stories came together later in this beautiful piece. They later played this video to begin their ceremony proceedings. It was an incredible and unique way to begin their once-in-a-lifetime event.

In addition, Solstice is now asking input from the couples as to what 5-10 minute excerpt they would like to see on-line from their wedding film (a new bonus in order to share with family and friends from all over!). Here is the one Kim and David chose:

The ceremony later took place at the First Unitarian Church and the reception followed at Montgomery Park in Portland, OR. The day was elegantly coordinated by An Affair To Remember. 

For best results on watching: As a reminder, these are LARGE video files. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, you may have to roll over the video (to open the control panel at the bottom of the clip) and press the "pause" button for a couple minutes in order to allow the clip to load for a bit before playing.

Oregon Olive Mill - Olive Press Promo

Durant Vineyards was starting a new venture of producing olive oil. They worked on the olive crop for many years in preparation for the oil. The oil is then made by using a sophisticated press brought in from Italy.

This family-owned company had the foresight to get this unique event documented. This piece now can be used for their promotional purposes (website, lobby, news channels, features, etc.) as well as be an incredible archive for their historical record as they continue to build this new business.

The still photography used in the clip was masterfully provided by the Eye of the Lady: Doreen L. Wynja

Brittany & Ryan's Wedding

This excerpt is taken from the first 10 minutes of this beautiful couple's wedding film. In it, you get another excellent example of the documentary work Solstice puts into each of our movies, as you see both couple's getting ready and move onto their first look prior to the ceremony. They were a lot of fun!

The amazing photos you see on this blog (and incorporated in the video clip) were generously provided by AJ's Studio, who are always wonderful to work with. The couple's ceremony took place at the First Baptist Church in Portland, OR, and the reception took place later at the Oregon Golf Club in West Linn, OR. As always, the event was coordinated brilliantly by Marilyn Storch of Portland Wedding Planner.

Here is what the bride had to say after watching it:

"I just watched our wedding video and am incredibly happy with it!! You did an AMAZING job - the way you edit different parts together and what music you put where - it couldn't be more perfect. I was able to appreciate the little things I missed on our wedding day and your attention to detail was evident. I am truly grateful for all your hard work. This is a priceless gift I will cherish forever. Thank you so much!"
