The couple hosted an original and beautiful wedding weekend at the University of Notre Dame in May. They got the weekend kicked off at with a Rehearsal Dinner at Foley’s. Foley’s is a club space on the 4th floor of O’Neill Hall, attached on the south side to Notre Dame Stadium. They hosted their wedding the following day at The Basilica of the Sacred Heart. The reception was hosted later that evening at Dahnke Family Ballroom. Dahnke Family Ballroom is located on campus on the 7th and 8th floor of the Duncan Student Center, attached to Notre Dame Stadium on its west side. It’s the larger of the two ballrooms in the Notre Dame stadium and it’s good they chose Dahnke because it was a big group!

Meg and Jonathan had a special request of us for their wedding film and that is to use Motown inspired music throughout. They both enjoy vintage, soul music and music was to directly influence the style of their wedding day. They even booked a Motown music band from Detroit, MI The Jerry Ross Band to play their reception! When considering their style choice I knew I needed to make the video match the music aesthetic. To achieve this I used a handheld approach to filming their day. This doesn’t mean I always held the camera only in my hands but rather I went with a more intimate close-up approach. I also used documentary style filmmaking to record the things that were said and done when camera’s normally aren’t rolling. These methods paired with film effects grain and scratches produced a vintage film look we’re confidant the couple will love.

 

Our best to the newlyweds! May they live happily ever after. Looking for your Notre Dame wedding videographer? Contact us today!
