Andrea and Tim's Wedding

On July 10th, the Powell Productions team was happy to have the honor of filming Andrea and Tim's wedding on the Eastern Shore at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club in Maryland. The beautiful waterfront location, with its eye catching gardens and romantic ballrooms, was an excellent place to film a memorable wedding. Although it rained off and on throughout the day, Andrea and Tim's wedding was so filled with love and laughter that nothing could dampen their excitement and joy. Andrea's beauty- and Tim's adoration of her- shined right through those clouds and easily brightened up their wedding day!

One aspect that made Andrea and Tim's wedding so fun to film was the incredible enthusiasm of their families and friends. Their reception had such high energy- I can hardly wait to view their wedding again as I edit their priceless footage. It's weddings like these that keep me wanting to work in the wedding videography business! The original reason I started Powell Productions Wedding Videography was to capture and preserve the most important day of couples' lives. After filming weddings like Andrea and Tim's, I am easily reminded of what a valuable task that truly is- nothing beats it!

On another note, I do want to pass on an important lesson that I learned about the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to other wedding vendors, and that is to leave several hours in advance when traveling over the Bay Bridge on a weekend. Luckily, I did leave early in the morning for Andrea and Tim's evening wedding, because although the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club is a short trip from DC, it took me about four hours to reach the location in the famous Saturday beach traffic. However, once you make one trip to this private beach club, you will find out why so many people will travel to have their wedding take place there. The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club's expansive views and romantic ambiance creates a perfect atmosphere for a wedding- rain or shine!

Cristy and Jeremy's Wedding

Last Saturday I had the privilege of filming Cristy and Jeremy's Wedding on a beautiful, sunny spring day. We captured their joyous, quaint ceremony in Taneytown, MD and then traveled to their reception hall in Gettysburg, PA where we filmed all of the traditional reception events. Their reception hall was gorgeous with a balcony that overlooked the water. You could have not asked for a more perfect day.

Here is what Christy's mother wrote me after the event:

"My family and I cannot thank you enough for the awesome job you did at our daughter's wedding. We have had many compliments about the great job you and your coworker did. We have heard, "That video guy was great, where did you get him?" and "Who were your video people? They were awesome!" My daughter's exact words were, "Mom, the video man was amazing! He even followed us to the playground." If anyone were to ask me to describe Powell Productions, LLC, I would have to say, from our first phone conversation to the minute they left the reception, they were professional, personal, respectful, and I was honored to have found them. Thank you so much, Jack, for being a part of our daughter's wedding. We look forward to seeing you again." ~ Dave and Teresa
