Fitsum & Josh's Trailer at the Portland Art Museum
Saturday, October 16, 2010
Our final huge wedding weekend of the season ended with a great one! Fitsum and Josh had a two-day wedding celebration, starting with a traditional Ethiopian kelekel (reception) at the Eliot Center. Having never shot an Ethiopian wedding video before, I didn’t quite know what to expect at a kelekel but I’ll tell you what I found: very spicy food, and TONS of dancing! Josh was a dancing maniac, jumping right in with Fitsum’s family and friends and busting out his rendition of traditional Ethiopian dances all night long... and then he kept the energy just as high the following evening at their second reception held at the Portland Art Museum! The guy was a machine. And Fitsum was drop-dead gorgeous... so put the two together and it’s pretty easy to predict this will be an outstanding wedding film. I can’t wait to edit the “real thing” but in the meantime enjoy the sneak peek at their theatrical trailer, and of course let us know if you would like to see more of this or any other full-length Focal Point wedding films by contacting our studio.
In addition to being a genuinely fun and engaging couple to hang out with for the weekend, Fitsum and Josh also assembled an amazing dream-team of vendors for their big day, including many of our favorites to work with! Photos were covered by Kate Kelly Photography (who we LOVE), Kevin Venables of Northwest Mobile DJ Service was spinning the tunes, yummy food and drink from Vibrant Table was on the menu, and wedding planner extraordinaire Amy Nuttman of Blush Bridal Consultation Group kept everything running smoothly. What a great team to be part of, and what a fabulous wedding weekend to experience with Fitsum and Josh! Congratulations you two!!!
