For years as a disc jockey I ended the night with a two song combination, Last Dance by Donna Summer and What A Wonderful World by Louie Armstrong. Lately though the last song has been this great one from Michael Buble

Celebrated Events
One of my favorite wedding coordinators is Cynthia Basker from Celebrated Events. When working with Cynthia I know the wedding day will flow like a well oiled machine. But what Cynthia is really known for is her decorating style, her receptions are always a burst of color and beautiful to look at and film.
In this clip from a wedding we worked with Cynthia, last year, we captured the bride and groom's reaction to the decorations that Cyndi designed with Michaelangelos. This is why I love video, pictures could never do this moment justice! The reception took place at the Palais Royale.
This may take a few moments to load as for some reason the video preloads before giving you the option of playing.. I'm experimenting with new codec mp4 and larger images for streaming to better present our videos. Let me know what you think.

Super 8mm Film for Your Wedding!
Everything that is old is new again! We at Allure Films / River City Productions are excited to announce that we are now offering Super 8mm Film as an additional service to be integrated into your wedding video!
Super 8mm Weddings!
Why return to those old days of film production? The feel, the look, the color of film is unique, organic and made of memories. Nearly every family has a closet shelf of Super 8mm Film from up to 20 years ago. The scratchy, grainy images of granddad, grandma, mom and dad, it's how we have learned who they were in their younger livesdays through the moving images of film.
Of course for years the ability to add fake grain, scratches have been available in the editing process. For me this has always looked fake, there is an organic feel to film that just can't be replicated by adding a digital effect on top of a digitally created image. I have resisted for years adding such effects with the opinion that if I wasn't offering the real thing I wasn't going to fake it.
Then last year on a fluke I bid and won a Super 8mm Film camera on ebay. Last summer I went out and test shot a roll of film wandering around the University of Notre Dame capus. The intention was adding the campus images into weddings we shot at the Basilica. The results of that shoot are below in the video. I just love the look of film and hope you like it too!
Oh during the shoot I ran across a bride and groom getting married on a Friday at the Basilica and shot a few feet of them walking at a distance for fun.
