  • Videographer
  • Documentary style

Films are my life. Everything I do is seen through the lens of a camera. It's my life and love, and I strive to create the most cinematic films I can. I have been working full-time in the event industry since I graduated from film school in 2000, and I have captured well over a 1000 events. My job as a cinematographer is to create a cinematic film of your day that is both natural and magical. When I'm working, I prefer to be as discrete as possible, therefore I don't like to do too much staging of shots. I like the more natural films and that is what I strive for with every job I take on.

Love stories demand exceptional images. We deliver. Wedding photography requires an interesting set of skills.

You need to disappear at times, ninja-like, and reappear larger than life to marshal the attention of 50 alcohol-fueled people for a big family portrait! You need stamina, incredible organizational skills, and the best camera gear money can buy. Most importantly, you need to have a big love for what you do. We are those guys! Let us exceed your expectations!! Love, Tom

I did my trials for hair and makeup a few weeks before my wedding. They texted me a few hours later to see how everything held up and what I wanted to change. On the day of my wedding the helped me deal with the awful news that my venue would not be staffed for my wedding. They helped me get my mind off of all that and focus on my friends and the hair/makeup. We made the changes I wanted and I genuinely have never felt so beautiful in my life. My bridesmaids looked incredible as well. Were all different ethnicities, skin tones and hair textures and all looked amazing. They were efficient in our timeline so much so that we finished nice and early which allowed me to take a breather with all the things going on with my venue. The make up and hair held through tears, sweat, outfit changes, and head banging on the dance floor. I can’t thank them enough for making my wedding day the best it could be!

My husband and I got married on 6/15/2024. I handled majority of our wedding planning, but as an OCD bride, my biggest anxiety was not being able to be hands on for the day of our wedding. Everyone was telling me that as the bride I had to enjoy my wedding day, but all I could think about was “I need to make sure everything goes exactly the way I’ve been planning it for the last year and a half”. That’s when I knew I needed a day of coordinator. I came across Star Rose Creations and I’m SO happy that I did. Miranda and Kylie are absolutely gems!! They are both so professional, caring, and understanding. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. From the initial meeting, to creating timelines for the day of, to making sure that everything was setup the way my floor plan showed, to handling the vendors, to making sure we kept on schedule for the ceremony and reception… I mean they handled it all! And most importantly, they kept me smiling which helped to keep my tears at bay on the happiest day of my life! I can’t tell you how happy I was to have them both there on our wedding day! Even our bridal party talked about them after our wedding and how impressed they were that Miranda and Kylie were so attentive to my husband and I. Trust me, if you book with Star Rose Creations you won’t be disappointed!!

Jonathan was an excellent videographer. In the wedding prep, he was so easy to work with. His emails and contracts were simple and easy to read. He was great to talk to over video chat to get things set up.

I can't recommend Daydream Floral enough! From the very beginning, Mitali was a dream to work with – patient, organised, creative, and totally in sync with our vision. Planning a wedding from overseas isn’t easy, but she made it feel seamless. She was so accommodating with time zones and always kept me involved throughout the process. Beyond florals – Mitali even organised candles, lighting, and styling elements that brought my romantic, whimsical Pinterest board to life. Every single detail was perfect.

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

Seth was amazing as our wedding photographer! Our wedding package included an additional photo shoot that we used as an engagement shoot. This session helped us feel at ease with our decision. He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and we were so impressed with how those pictures turned out. Leading up to the wedding day he helped us build our day of timeline and we compiled a list of must have pictures. Seth and Drea helped us stay on schedule and were able to capture all the pictures we wanted. They were organized, professional, and prepared. Any time during the night we wanted a photo captured, Seth and Drea were already on it. They made it so easy for us to enjoy and have fun knowing they were capturing all our special moments. Seth even agreed to stay later because it started snowing and we took some amazing photos in the snow! Seth turned around wedding preview photos for all the big moments in only a few days. These pictures are amazing! We already have many of the framed and hung in our home.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

We cannot say enough great things about Nicholas Yee and his incredible team! Literally from the very beginning, he demonstrated unparalleled professionalism - answering all of our emails super quickly, and taking the time to ensure every detail was covered. He worked with us to create a personalized timeline that made our day run SEAMLESSLY. Most of our vendors worked off his timeline. This allowed us to focus on the joy of the moment without worrying about logistics. He’s also just a great person overall - we felt like we were talking to an old friend. :) What truly sets Nicholas Yee apart is his eye for capturing not only the big, emotional moments but also the quiet, loving exchanges and the spontaneous moments of levity that made our wedding day uniquely ours. We were blown away by the pictures and the moments he captured. We can only really describe the pictures as breathtakingly “cinematic.” 10/10!!! On top of his artistry, his organizational skills were impeccable. He efficiently coordinated all of the family and wedding party photos with incredible time management, ensuring everything was done quickly and beautifully. He budgeted extra time in the timeline for delays which was most appreciated! This allowed us to maximize time with our guests and enjoy the celebration while still getting every shot we had hoped for—and then some!

My husband and I have really diverse tastes in music, and the crowd at our wedding was honesty a weird mix, so Ernest and Marlowe had their work cut out for them. Pros: -Had a cool app you could plug all your music into, incredibly detailed. -The MC was an absolute hoot -Tried very hard to get the guests to dance. -Everything was set up in time and looked nice. -Open communication, could accommodate our venue needs. Cons: -(my biggest issue) The DJs phone was hooked up to the ceremony speakers, he got a message as I was walking down the aisle. Funny in retrospect, upsetting at the time. -Would skip songs midway through. Have a very funny video of the groom and groomsmen singing a song and the DJ stopped playing it midway through. -My nephew requested "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and for some reason he played the instrumental version? It was really weird. If you're a really type A bride I wouldn't go for Electrified DJs. If you're planning your wedding like its a big party for you and your guests? Have at it

My husband and I got married at the CKE this October 2024. There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to their entire team for all of their hard work to make our visions and dreams come to life. Each and every staff member was kind, and helpful. If you had a question you’d get a response promptly and always with a “let’s see what we can do attitude”. Katherine (the owner) made you feel a part of the CKE family and always was looking to make the planning process seamless and easy for us and our family. The CKE floral and design team made our big ideas all come to life- we had a visions of big branching centerpieces with florals tucked in, that Jess and her team absolutely delivered on. On top of that, we asked for an installation over our sweetheart table. Jess and her team have many suggestions and shared they visited Home Depot at least 3 times to see how it would hang, and the final installation beyond exceeded our expectations. The talent and grace their team exudes is what ever bride and groom look for in a team. The planning process was also so seamless due to their amazing coordinator team. We worked with Katrina, the kindest, most professional coordinator we have ever met. Katrina was available at every step of the planning process, providing thoughtful recommendations due to her very obvious experience. Katrina also was there for our wedding day of helping to manage the schedule, set up, constantly checking in, and making sure it all went according to plan (which it did). In addition during the reception Katrina was checking with us throughout the night to see if we wanted to pivot anything or if we needed anything. We are extremely grateful for her support! In addition, Kyle was our maitre d’ for the evening and he did an absolutely wonderful job. He made sure to check in with my husband and I as well as our immediate family members. He was so kind and professional! Lastly but very importantly- the food and drinks! Most of all of our guests shared that this was the best wedding food they have ever had. It is no small feat cooking for large groups and every aspect of the food from the cocktail hour to the dinner course was absolutely fantastic. These are a few quotes from guests: - “The food was gourmet.” - “This is the real deal.” - “The sushi… Oh, the sushi! So fresh!” In addition, the bartenders crushed it! Everyone was impressed by the quality of the drinks and we never had a line at the bar- they were fast and catered to our guests. I would highly recommend the CKE to future couples getting married. The aspect of the family business really shows and ensures you have a tailored experience for your wedding. The entire staff is kind and down to earth- always willing to help. We wish them nothing but the best for their future wedding seasons!

Eli was absolutely amazing as my day-of wedding coordinator! She met with me a month before the wedding to review every little detail and then completely took over vendor communication, which took a huge load off my shoulders. Eli was there every step of the way—at the rehearsal and all throughout the wedding day itself—and her support made everything run smoothly. She handled everything with such professionalism and grace, and her assistant Stacy was also incredibly helpful. Eli is super nice, always helpful, and truly a life-saver. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or event. She made my day stress-free and perfect!
