This past weekend was a cross-border international affair for Christine and Matt’s wedding. Here’s a couple screen captures from our video for a sneak peak preview for all of you!

This was a bit different than our usual weddings. The ceremony was held in Windsor, ON. We sent two of our videographers there, John and Samson.
In a unique twist, Christine and Matt had the reception aftwards held in the gorgeous Dearborn Inn, in Dearborn, MI a suburb of Detroit.
I was planning on meeting Samson and John over in Dearborn since I live on that side, and we couldn’t risk any unexpected delays in crossing the border. I’ve never been to the Dearborn Inn before, and I actually got lost trying to find it. The hotel itself is really close to the Henry Ford Museum and Ford automative plant, so I was bit thrown off when I was driving by and saw the factories.

This was also the first time I actually met Christine and Matt — the rest of the team met them several times during our consultations while I was away in Iowa.
Matt was a super fun guy who’s sense of humour and smile was infectious. It really made for a fun day.
Christine, I found out within the first couple minutes of meeting her, is a really strong-willed and intelligent bride. Her and Matt will have a tremendous life together.
The speeches that evening were so touching and emotional. Everyone from the fathers of the bride and grooms, to all the bridesmaids and best man, did an excellent job. Each was so eloquently thought out and spoken, that by the end of the night I felt as if I had known Christine and Matt for years.

The biggest difficulties we had were actually in battling the killer mosquitoes which decided to gang up by the thousands and feast on us. By the end of the night, I had counted no less than 10 mosquito bites, even through my pants!
Note to self: for future weddings, bring bug spray!
A special thanks to the photographer, Michele Bowman. We love working with her as she makes our jobs as wedding videograhers actually so much easier — we have fun, and make sure we each get all the beautiful shots we need!
