The film shot all around the world on one day — October 10, 2010 — will be screened in every country of the world on Earth Day, April 22, 2012. We’re proud to say that clips from Nativa and Brian’s wedding — shot by Mary Carol and myself on that day at PNC Park — are included in the final film.
We’re planning to attend the screening in New York City at the United Nations General Assembly. Exciting!!
Nicole and Matt’s wedding in August 2011 was very laid back and a lot of fun. They had an outdoor ceremony at Klein Immergrun in Loretto, PA, followed by the cocktail hour and reception. (If you saw the entry about Alex and Leo’s wedding, you’ll recognize the location – Matt and Leo are cousins!)
The first video is the “Before the Wedding” segment, showing Nicole arriving at the farm while Matt works on his vows up till the last minute.
The day was overcast and humid, thanks to Hurricane Irene that was ravaging the east coast. Showers during the dinner hour couldn’t dampen the reception, although the band had to relocate from the patio to the garage to keep dry. Happily, no one’s spirits were dampened in the least!

“One Day on Earth,” the global film shot on one day – 10.10.10 – will premiere on Earth Day, April 22, 2012 in every country of the world. Over 16,000 filmmakers submitted about 3,000 hours of footage to the project team.
Digital Keepsakes shot Brian and Nativa’s Wedding Video at PNC Park that day, and I’m proud to say that it was chosen for the final film. While we expect to see only a clip or two of the wedding in the final feature, we’re happy that our work was selected to depict one very happy occasion that occurred in Pittsburgh that day.
Here’s the trailer for the film:
We’re excited to be part of this great project and thank Brian and Nativa for being willing participants.
While meeting with one of my client couples before their July 2011 wedding, I asked what they wanted me to be sure to capture in their wedding film. The groom-to-be quickly answered: “All the sights and sounds.”
Thinking about it, I realized that’s what we do best. We make sure we capture every important moment of the Wedding Day, from the bride’s preparations, to the processional and vows, to all the reception events – captured in their entirety. After all, how else would the bride see her bridesmaids walking down the aisle? How else could the couple re-live the vows, see their first dance or the parent dances?
When we capture all the sights and sounds, we look for those special moments that will make your wedding film unique: when you steal a kiss during the photo shoot; the tear in Dad’s eye during the father-daughter dance; your close friends partying with you at the reception.
Capturing the sound is a very important part of what we do. We use multiple wireless microphones during the ceremony to capture the words of the officiant and the readers, and to especially capture your vows clearly.
You can see highlights of our recent weddings on the Gallery page of our website at www.digitalkeepsakesvideo.com/gallery. If you’d like to have a DVD of one of our complete wedding films, just send me an email and I’ll get one out to you right away.
We here at Digital Keepsakes wish all a joyous Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.
We were blessed to meet so many great couples this past wedding season, and we thank them for allowing us to take part in their most special day. We’ve produced some great wedding films during 2011, and look forward making more during 2012.
Please take a look at the web site if you haven’t done so for awhile. We’ve updated the packages and other offerings, and added highlights segments from 2011 to the Gallery page.
Happy Holidays!
We submitted Nativa and Brian’s wedding video shot at PNC Park on October 10, 2010, to One Day on Earth’s 10.10.10. Global Film Project, showing the work of 16,000 filmmakers around the world that was shot on that date.
At least one clip from Nativa and Brian’s video will be used in the final film. With the cooperation of the United Nations, the 10.10.10 One Day on Earth film will be shown in every country of the world on the same day in late February, 2012. We’re excited that Nativa and Brian’s wedding video is part of this project!

Not every wedding film we produce can be part of such a global effort, but it can be seen around the world! We post the highlights segment of each of our films to Vimeo, where anyone around the world who’s interested in wedding cinema can view them. We’ve had viewings from not only North America but also Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
It’s hard to find words to describe Alex and Leo’s wedding. A beautiful couple, superb venue, and gorgeous day all combined to make for an outstanding wedding celebration. Alex and Leo were married on July 30, 2011, in the chapel at Mount Aloysius College in Cresson, PA, and their reception was at Leo’s grandparents’ farm, Klein Immergrun, in Loretto. After shooting the lovely and moving ceremony, we used our GoPro camera to get great candid shots of the couple as they drove from Cresson to Loretto in a Rolls Royce convertible.
Saint Francis University catered the marvelous dinner, and the band Black Tie provided the dance music. Anita Buzzy Prentiss of Buzzy Photography immortalized the day with her splendid photos.
It’s a wedding we’ll long remember.
Jenny and Bryan were married at the Duquesne Club in Downtown Pittsburgh on June 18, 2011. The elegant ceremony was complemented by the harp music of Suzanne Hershey. While the guests enjoyed cocktails, the couple had their photos taken in the Parlour and on the rooftop terrace by Anita Buzzy Prentiss of Buzzy Photo. Afterwards, the couple and guests danced to the music of Velveeta. Rich Fishkin was my assistant for the wedding, and got some great video shots.

Our entry was accepted, and after sending in 17 DVDs worth of raw footage, we hope to see a snippet from their wedding video in the final film.
The film is due out in October, but you can view the trailer here:

Kelly and Manny’s Wedding Video Teaser
The middle of March was a great time to shoot Kelly and Manny’s wedding in West Palm Beach, Florida. Sunshine and mid-70′s temperatures made the perfect setting for their ceremony and reception at Eastpointe Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens. Manny’s a great University of Miami fan, and Kelly arranged to surprise him with a visit from the school’s mascot, Sebastian the Ibis.
