The Unplugged Wedding Today we are talking about the unplugged wedding, we also talk about what are some of the ways to help tell guests to keep their phones down during the wedding ceremony. We suggest the nicest and most effective way possible, and give specific options to achieve this. As Brides and Grooms may or may not know, as a Wedding Photographer one of the most nerve-wracking events is when a guest completely destroys the picture perfect moment you’ve been hired to capture. Whether guesses stand up in the aisle during the first kiss, take photos with their ipad in front of your camera, or inadvertently cause half the family to look off to the side during posed family portraits, wedding photo bombs can be a real headache. We suggest having having […]

Interview with Preston Sternson Director at Grassfire Studios Annika + Cole from Grassfire Studios on Vimeo. Our Story Before starting Grassfire Studios, wedding videography had a very different style. While most videos documented the big moments of the day – the ceremony, receiving line, and first dance – they didn’t include the unique moments that tend to fade into the background. For instance, the letters a bride and groom to write to each other before their first look. After all, your love story is much deeper than a single day. With this vision, along with their combined passion for storytelling and technical background in filmmaking, our founders Preston and Justin knew they could do better.
