Been a while since I updated the blog. Here is a wedding album from one of our events last summer. The wedding took place in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of Notre Dame. Enjoy!

Wedding Trailer
April 2, 2009Kate and Brian were married on a beautiful winter day in February. The wedding took place at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of Notre Dame. The Reception followed at the Palais Royale.
Every wedding has those special moments that happen once and never happen again that only video can do justice to. This one has one of those special moments in spades. You will notice that the song I chose for this trailer is not our typical ‘canned’ song, we use for trailers, it was recorded at the reception as the bride’s grandmother joined the band on stage to sing the first dance song. What a fantastic memory these two newlyweds will share for years to come!

If you are a Notre Dame University graduate or a member of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart Church on the campus the day when the books are opened for 2010 weddings is around the corner. March 2nd is the day when you can schedule your 2010 wedding. Our friend Cynthia Basker of Celebrated Events has written a blog for brides and grooms how to assure that you are able to schedule your wedding at the Basilica. It’s full of very useful information and I suggest if you are planning to have your wedding at Notre Dame check it out!

July 21, 2008Mark and Maria A Wedding Trailer
May 13, 2008Mark and Maria were married at the Notre Dame Basilica of the Sacred Heart and the reception followed at the Century Center White Water Ballroom. You couldn’t ask for a more fun couple to document the day of. As you can see by the end of the trailer they were dancing on the altar, almost. And at the reception it was a non stop party with the happy newlyweds constantly on the dance floor. In fact the difficulty with this wedding film will be the abundance of great dance footage.
New feature: This is a wedding trailer video and as it’s name indicates it is designed to preview the upcoming edited video. I played with a few of these years ago, in fact I think I’ll go dig out my original one, and then promptly forgot about them. This year I am brining them back. The fun thing about them is this is where I can really experiment and play with new ways of editing videos. You will notice at the beginning of this video after the intros (and can you have a more fun intro) you can hear a voice track over the video and song of the bride and grooms vows. Yes it was intentional to have them talk over each other with the grooms vows coming up just after the bride starts speaking hers. Just an experiment but I think it’s fun and if you’d like let me know what you think of it.
Also take note the images of the dome and the basilica were shot of super 8mm film! I love the look of film.
So enjoy the wedding of Mark and Maria.

Notre Dame Basilica of the Sacred Heart
March 30, 2008I had my camera sensor cleaned this weak. Digital to me is the best thing to happen to photography in the last hundred years, but if dust gets on your sensor it’s a nightmare. So it came back and I decided to test it out wandering around the lakes on the campus of Notre Dame. I was walking by the Basilica of the Sacred Heart when a little inspiration struck me. I love shooting dutch angles and I have done several upward shots on video and film from the front of the Basilica, when a little inspiration hit me. Why not include the sign!
So here are my three favorite shots of the Basilica from today’s wandering. Which do you like the best?
I just noticed, tomorrow is Basilica Day at the University of Notre Dame when the books are open for those wanting to have their wedding at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in 2009! For all those brides and grooms who will be rushing the phones in the morning and dialing until they get through, Allure Films wishes you the best in getting the dates and times that you desire!
And once you have your date and time, please consider Allure Films for your wedding photography and videography needs! We love working in the Basilica and are at ease working within the restrictions of the Basilica wedding day rules.
Bellow is some of my favorite pictures from the Notre Dame Grotto. Enjoy!
The next three images are the same image. We have been getting questions as to what special effects we can do to your wedding photos. Well we can do anything you like, but below is three of my favorites. Enjoy.
The traditional Black and White
Modern Antique finish. This is one of my favorite effects. It has the look of a Black and White photo but the original color still seeps through just a little bit. I actually like this better than B&W!
