Backyard Wedding at Pearl Street Grill, Buffalo

MAX & MEREDITH

Mixed Media Wedding Film

Max and Meredith wanted their wedding film to feel like watching their grandparents' home videos. Intimate backyard ceremony with under 30 of their closest people, then everyone headed to Pearl Street Grill for one of the most fun receptions we've filmed. We swore we wouldn't do two weddings in a row that weekend but we couldn't say no to these two.

This was a full Dream Team shoot with all three mediums rolling. Max was mic'd all day and we came home with nearly a terabyte of footage. Meredith called it pure magic. Honestly, if we had a wedding film, this is exactly what we'd want ours to look like.

What is it like filming a backyard wedding and reception at Pearl Street Grill in Buffalo?

The contrast between an intimate backyard ceremony with your closest people and a downtown Buffalo party is exactly the kind of story we love capturing. It's real, it's fun, and it films beautifully across all our mediums.
