jennie 
howard // flippin’ out
the day before her wedding, jennie received a flipHD as a gift from her bridesmaids. when it showed up at the salon, the girls seemed to be having some fun recording the mayhem. when it showed up again back at the house, jennie started to get into the filming as well. when it then followed howard’s present as it was being delivered, it got us thinking.
after the ceremony i chatted with konrad about what shots we had of them using the flip so we could tie that into the story throughout the day // the good idea.
he then suggested we get the camera at the end of the day and download the footage so we could tie it into their main feature // the great idea.
seconds later, it dawned on us. let’s tie the flip footage into the sde itself // the awesome idea.
that’s what makes SM so cool to be a part of. we can take an idea and in seconds it can evolve into something so much more as it bounces between us.
i should note, this isn’t exactly a same day edit. for the first time i can remember we had to show the sde earlier than planned (and that is not good news when we time these things to the minute). it wasn’t much earlier, but it was enough that the piece wasn’t quite finished (mostly the color). we showed everything as it was that night, but then i spent that extra time that i thought i had, a good thirty minutes or so, fixing up what i had planned to do. so, this would be an sde with a little * to denote all of that rambling i just did.
P.
jennie + howard’s sde.
at this point, konrad and i were getting pretty nauseous. much like the cake, we were swaying and jiggling in the back of the car trying to keep breakfast down. but as we sat there watching the cake accommodate the bumps, we got over our stomach aches and focused on what was unraveling to be one of those quirky things that made the wedding uniquely “jennie + howard”.
howard high-fives a guest as he an jennie exit the church together… it was tough having to shoot from the balcony and having the restrictions that we had imposed on us by the church coordinator. but sometimes its about taking the impossible and making something that could never even have been imagined otherwise. it’s interesting that my favourite image of the day was created during the only time of day that we had any restrictions put on us – the harshest restrictions we’ve ever encountered at a wedding actually.
we had a fairly hurried photo session after the ceremony. jennie decided it would be more efficient to move around bustled. i was busy looking at the lighting, the shapes, the atmosphere, planning, feeling, and almost not noticing her and her bridesmaids fussing over her dress. i’m glad i had the impulse to stop what i was doing and notice the brief sequence of events that would have been missed had i been in the tunnel-vision mode that we can sometimes get sucked into.
there happened to be a balcony at the reception as well, and in the spirit of shooting from above, i decided i would shoot their first dance in a way i had never done before.
Hello, you are amazing, the only thing I want to know which song is the video of angie & joseph, I just love that song I’d appreciate it

hey steven,
you can find songs by searching the lyrics online or trying something like kazzam. our blog is about the stories and the people, not the soundtracks, so we try to refrain from posting that info.

*SIGH* Your work is so precious and wonderful. It warms my heart in many ways. You guys rock big time. :)
what breath taking photos and video to recount the day…i didn’t know that the quality of the flipHD was that good! i was playing with one a couple weeks ago. nice to see it in action and even on an SDE…way to think outside the box…but that’s what SM is about…thinking above and beyond…brilliant work…congratulations howard and jennie! what a lovely couple and love how there was sooooo much smiles and happiness…all the best
Ok, I find the answer to my question above :) anyway, would have loved if more blog entries were on a single page. It’s just eye candy to see more photos and videos.
Hmm, how do I get to your older posts with the new blog? :)
Anyway, awesome idea with the flipHD! The images have a different tone to it this time too but equally amazing :)
Hi Patrick, Amina, and Konrad:
We just got back home from Thanksgiving and I was curious to check the blog…what a surprise!
1) LOVE the new look of your blog
2) Patrick and Konrad – incorporating the flipHD into the SDE was simply genius!
2) Amina – your photos are SO personal to our special day. THANNK YOU. the cake shot is awesome. love jennie’s expression during the 1st look! i remember doing that high-five as i was walking out – it was to my friend named Bill. still can’t believe you got that shot. your ability to maneuver despite the restrictions you were placed under are truly, truly amazing. also -that aeriel shot from the balcony – we had no idea that you were even up there! your ninja stealthness maneuvers eluded us completely. the result? – a beautifully captured still that we can cherish forever.
3) The TEAM: the captions below the photos and video are wonderful. it provides great insight to what YOU are thinking / feeling / considering as you capture our day. so touching, so personal, so endearing.
simply awesome! every time I look at your videos I get something new….just amazing1
some very awesome imagery for two very awesome people. good times. congrats jennie+howard :)
