All of our clients are loving the Director’s Cut highlights we’re producing here at Blue Sky Films — and Jenny & Pat’s highlight is one of our favorites!! The image quality of the Canon 5D is so wonderfully paired with such a sweet story. Their film is so full of love and emotion. Grab some tissues before you watch!

Jenny looked so gorgeous in her gown and hair styled by Andre Chreky. We love how she wore it down, and her makeup by Jennifer Lee of Phenomenal Faces looked flawless! Pat also looked sharp as well, especially with his Converse sneakers. ;)

Jenny and Pat had a beautiful ceremony at the Georgetown University Dahlgren Chapel. The circle outside the church is so pretty for photos and video. It was quite easy for Martin and photographer Meredith Monatgue to capture such stunning shots!!

The beautiful reception held at the Four Seasons Hotel was a rocking fun party as you can tell by the video! Mr. Greengenes had the party jumping all night long! They’re not the typical type of wedding band, and they have such a great sense of style. Jenny and Pat were so happy to be surrounded by all of their family and friends throughout the day, and they loved letting loose with everyone on the dance floor!

Kate Harlen from Simply Chic Events helped make the wedding and all the details perfect! The all-white flowers  for the bridal party looked so chic. Heavenly Hydrangeas did such a wonderful job on all them. The menu cards were so fun and sweet with the rhyming thank-you, which were designed by Jenny’s Sister. Such a great idea! The cake by the Four Seasons looked so yummy as well!

All of the toast were so amazing and definitely our favorite part of their Director’s Cut! From the Father of the Bride’s touching toast, to the fun and loving toasts by Pat’s Brothers and Jenny’s Sisters. They really highlighted some of the best moments thus far in Jenny and Pat’s relationship. We love how her Sister got upset, like she couldn’t go on, but then wouldn’t let the other Sister talk! To cute! Everyone at Blue Sky Films agrees with Jenny’s Sister – she really did find her Prince! :)

Jenny and Pat’s wedding was also featured on the Washingtonian! View the wonderful write up by Kim Forrest and photos by Meredith here and the write up about their video here.

Everyone at Blue Sky Films loves a good Greek Wedding! They are so lively, fun, and rich in traditions, so when we had the opportunity to work with Katerina and Lambros we were so ecstatic! They are such a great couple!

Katerina looked so beautiful during the getting ready. Her details were so lovely with the birdcage veil and custom jewelry, which was designed by Linda Blackbourn. Stunning! Linda also designed the Bridesmaid’s jewelry as well. Lambros’ morning prep was just as wonderful with The Red Scarf Ceremony, which is a tradition from Cyprus.  It was so fun how the whole family was involved in getting him dressed!

Katerina and Lambros worked hard at incorporating their theme in the space, details, and the flowers with a color palette and clean lines inspired by the Olive Tree. The green and whites really set the tone, and the olive oil favors were so adorable, a perfect addition.

Katerina and Lambros chose to have their wedding at The Music Center at Strathmore, and one of their favorite elements of the wedding was the overall ambiance of the space. The performance by the Gold Flame Band at the reception, combined with their guests’ energy and uplighting from Atmosphere all made for spectacular event! It really created an opportunity for us to capture some wonderful video footage, as we’re also sure it did for photographer Jennifer Lust, who we adore working with.

We also love how they made their introduction down the stairs — now that’s an entrance!

Katerina and Lambros had such a fun, romantic wedding, and we were so happy to be a part of it! Opa!

We are in love with Paul and Jen’s Director’s Cut! What an amazing day they had on the ever so popular 10/10/10 wedding date last year. You can just tell that Paul and Jen and madly in love just by the way that look at each other in the film. So Sweet!

Their wedding had such a cool vibe beginning with the venue, the National Aquarium Baltimore. It was amazing that Paul and Jen were able to share such a special day with all the sea life! The Best Man did a great job with his speech. “Why are we here tonight?…fish.” How Awesome! The love and laughter truly filled the day. They really pulled of their theme “East Meets West(ern) Aquarium” perfectly; especially with Jen’s traditional Chinese chi-pao dress and Chinese table details. You wouldn’t believe that Paul’s Mom took on the role of planner. She did a Fantastic job! Planner + MOG = No Easy Task.  Jen and Paul’s favorite detail of their wedding was their cake. So adorable and delicious! What a truly wonderful wedding!

We are also happy to announce that Paul and Jen’s wedding film was featured on United With Love. Check it out!

Allison and Andrew’s amazing wedding from last year is diffinitely one of my favorites! Allison’s dress, hair, make up, the flowers, décor, the ceremony, and the Helicopter. That’s right, the Helicopter! Allison’s Mother and Father surprised them with a Helicopter at the end of the night. I just love the look on the Allison and Andrew’s face when they see it. Such a great moment! Another great moment was when Andrew picked Allison up after they kissed! So Cute! It’s like they couldn’t wait to kiss each other. You can tell are so happy and meant to be together.

The lovely ladies at Union 3 Events helped Andrew and Allison pull off such a grand event. The décor and flowers they used to decorate the The Grand Lodge of Maryland in Cockeysville were spectacular. The overall golden look was so breath taking, and I loved how they tied it together with the golden chargers and wine glasses. The white dance floor with their monongram was so striking as well. I was definitely digging the sushi station for cocktail hour, and couches for guest to lounge around on. Fandango did a great job with the lighting. I think it really set off the space! They also had a photo booth, provided by Freed. All the guests had a blast taking crazy pictures with the props and feather boas. This wedding was definitley a team effort by Allison, Andrew, their families, and all the wedding professionals. It was perfectly designed, perfectly executed and perfectly captured!

Andrew and Allison were so happy that day, and loved every moment of the wedding. It’s such a pleasure to work a great couple with a beautiful wedding!

If you listen to MIX 107.3 then you have definitely heard of Chilli! She is the afternoon radio personality on MIX 107.3! Her blog is one of the Best out there! I highly recommend checking it out, and listening to Her and Carson in the afternoons from 3:00 to 7:00. They are an entertaining team in the afternoon! They make your long MD/DC/VA commute so much better!

Chilli and Don had a hard time deciding if they should get a video, and we were so honored that they chose Blue Sky Films! Their Closing Highlight Film really reflects the love and fun they had on their wedding day. Chilli looked dazzling in her gown, and it was so cool how they incorporated Chilli’s Armenian heritage in the ceremony and the dancing. Matt Mendelsohn took some insanely amazing pictures. Check them out on Chilli’s Blog. The Landsdowne Resort was such a beautiful location for the reception. We all loved her red, black, and white décor, and her beautiful bridal bouquet by Rick’s Flowers.

She wrote the most wonderful things about Blue Sky Films! Many thanks to Chilli & Don, and MIX 107.3!

Her listeners also wanted to see Her full first dance, since they took dance lessons to learn the Foxtrot. It’s no easy task to learn a new dance , and they did such a Great job! The guests at the wedding loved it!
