Filming a romantic love story with Igor and Anna made us smile. Their simplicity was both enchanting and alluring at the same time. Their story conveyed a natural feel to it, thanks to the fact that they are real as a couple. No fake presentations or pretended endearment—their sweet love for each other is genuinely shown in every word and action.

The clip starts with Anna awaking to discover a folder slipped underneath her bedroom door from her beloved. She settles down against the pillows on her bed, and opening the folder, finds some pictures and an iPod with a mysterious sticky note that reads “Play me”. As she plays the recorded song, she flips through the pictures fondly. A shy smile spreads across her lips, as memories of their first meeting flash across her mind.

It all started at Baruch College with a cute teddy bear and an invitation to the beach on Coney Island. This invitation led to one date after another, eventually creating an endless number of magical visits to places like Central Park and many other lovely spots across NYC. Simple memories perhaps, yet sweet and fanciful to Anna’s heart.  

That’s why Igor wanted to make these memories come alive again by capturing them in pictures for her. Ever the romantic, Igor wanted to make this particular day one she would never forget. For opening the door after finishing flipping through the pictures, Anna came face to face with Igor, his sweet smile, and one lovely ring.

The Visualaz crew worked hard to film Igor and Ann’s love story in all of the favorite spots where they spent hours together as a couple. We wanted to include all the places that had been meaningful to them, thus producing a fun loving clip that romantics of all ages can enjoy.

The concept film, “The Proposal”, features Daniel Itingen and Luiza Grimberg, a dynamic couple with an appreciation for humor. Their zest for life shows clearly throughout the film, as their love story unfolds in a way that is both creative and captivating.  In this entertaining film, Daniel must undergo a series of wild complications before proposing to his beloved successfully.

“The Proposal” starts off with Daniel running late to his date. In his effort to find the perfect bouquet of flowers, Daniel runs into a unique sense of inconveniences, such as a florist who talks faster than he works, and a policeman who seems more intent on fulfilling his arrest quota of the day than in serving justice.  When Daniel finally manages to rid himself of both set of problems, however, he races to his dinner date, only to discover that his girl had grown tired of waiting and left.

At this point, Daniel tries several different approaches toward proposing to Luiza. Unfortunately for both of them,  luck seems set against them even in the most ridiculous ways,  as literally every little detail planned ahead by Daniel always goes wrong at the last minute. But although the odds first seem against him, Daniel’s attitude soon makes it clear that he will harness every power under the sun before losing the woman that he loves. And boy, does he do just that.

With the help of Je T’Aime Design Studio in the creation of the multiple bouquets presented in the film, our crew at Visualaz worked hard filming the various locations in NYC to ensure a quality story that people of all ages can enjoy. A funny love story with a twinge of spice and tenderness, “The Proposal” is sure to captivate your heart.

Roman and Anna wanted to have something special done for their wedding. Something unique that could exemplify their unique story, and capture their affection in a timeless and romantic way. As future husband and wife, it was only natural for them to want the most special day of their life to be simply dazzling.

We understood their need to capture their devotion to each other, and it didn’t take them long to realize that making a film of their unique story was exactly what they wanted. With this in mind, Roman and Anna wisely settled on both the Jericho Terrace and the Old Westbury Gardens for their cinematic shots, eager to select the lovely scenery that would merge perfectly with their romantic theme.

To ensure smooth and artistic shots, our crew used natural light and steadicam, a vital instrument in professional cinematography services. Creative angles on the grand staircase and lawn were explored and used to their full advantage.The finished product of Roman and Anna’s wedding trailer was breathtaking. The gentleness exhibited in their relationship during the days of production was inspiring to those around them. Each one of their movements evidenced their devotion to one another. Even their shy smiles brought a soft glow to the shooting.

This trailer shows the dedication our crew exemplified toward creating those memorable shots that Roman and Anna will now be able to cherish in the years to come.

Visualaz recently had the honor of flying out to Punta Cana Dominican Republic in order to capture Milan and Sabrina’s elegant destination wedding. As most of you probably already know, a destination wedding is a wedding held in a setting away from one’s hometown and most of the time, the wedding and the honeymoon are celebrated in the same venue or location. The concept of the destination wedding has become a very popular trend in recent years; with couples escaping their busy cities and hometowns for a slice of peace and tranquility.

Well known for it’s breathtaking beaches and beautiful balnearios, Punta Cana is a Caribbean paradise with a picture perfect setting for a wedding. Milan and Sabrina were the bride and groom that Visualaz had the pleasure of filming down in DR. Where do we start with Milan and Sabrina? First off, they were an extremely fun-loving couple who were absolutely head-over-heels for each other! Their wedding was amazing to say the least and we were extremely lucky to have been given the opportunity to bring our equipment and team to Punta Cana in order to capture this loving couple’s monumental moment. Their trailer is a montage of moments the couple shared together while in Punta Cana edited with audio of the couples deeply moving vows.

Our experience in Punta Cana was one that we will never forget. The stunning surroundings, beautiful weather, and gorgeous wedding were truly an astonishing and enlightening experience for the whole crew. A big thanks to Milan and Sabrina for allowing us to partake in their wonderful wedding, we wish you guys all the best! So kick back and enjoy the emotionally charged and touching film featuring Milan and Sabrina.

PS: We’re warning you, it’s a tear jerker!

Every time we film a wedding we learn something new and beautiful about the couple, and try to interpret their unique story throughout the day. Albina and Slavik were not an exception. Albina’s passion for art brings out the transparency and sincerity of her character. This is clearly evident through her skills as a makeup artist.

We met Albina during one of the weddings that we have filmed in Brooklyn, NY over a year ago. Her free spirited mind shined across her creative work, and we noticed right from the start that we speak the same language of art. A few months later when Albina and Slavik came in to talk about their wedding day, we wanted to create something special for them, and tell their unique story.

The words of Anthony Fedorov of American Idol, who happened to be a close friend of Slavik and Albina, exemplify how powerful their relationship truly is. Beautiful couple, great strong friendships, care for the family, and fun loving atmosphere bring together this small teaser.

Ingredients of the day:

Dress: Pronovias

Hair Piece: Bridal Styles Boutique

Venue: Passage On The Bay

Our latest concept film entitled “Entrapment” featured Mariya Maslova and Gennady Pikovsky– a wonderful and lively couple who went all out for their film debut. “Entrapment” starts off on a farm, with a farmer making his rounds– when all of a sudden a bunch of suspicious gangsters drag a hogtied damsel in distress from their trunk. Our hero notices the sketchy situation and eyes the thugs as they take her to their hideout with seemingly cruel intentions. Does our male protagonist take a stand or cleverly outwit the seedy thugs? You’ll have to stay tuned and find out!

This Love Story has a bit of everything: action, kidnapping, comedy, and of course– a healthy dose of romance. As you can imagine we had a blast shooting Entrapment. The film gave us a chance to shoot on one of our most extreme locations to date– an authentic farm! With cows, pigs, and chickens running amuck it was surely an exciting experience that we’ll always cherish. Without giving too much away, our story takes an exciting twist towards the end that’s sure to catch you off-guard. Our two starlets Mariya and Gennady were a high energy couple willing to go to the extreme in order for us to create a unique and exciting film that was telling of their unique story.

We knew from the moment that we met our leading couple that this film would be unlike any story we’ve ever worked on and have premiered at a wedding reception. Masterfully shot, exquisitely acted and carefully created– Visualaz is extremely pleased with the final product. The film debuted at Golden Gates Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA. So without further ado, we present to you Visualaz’s latest Concept Film– “Entrapment.”

P.S. Big thank you to Bobolink Dairy Farm in Milford, NJ for allowing us to film on location.

This past weekend Visualaz had the honor of premiering one of our latest Concept Films entitled “Blind Date” at a beautiful wedding in Passage on the Bay in Brooklyn, NY. The Concept Film is essentially a full-feature production that Visualaz carefully plans and thinks out from scratch; from pre-production to post-production we make sure that each of our client’s stories are represented as true to their personalities as possible.

An essential element to the Concept Film, is when we get a chance to meet our clients. As filmmakers who are trying to tell a story, it is extremely important that we get to know our clients and learn about their journey. After we had the pleasure of meeting Albina and Slavik, we really wanted to take the romantic comedy route for their first feature– in hopes that it would do justice to their quirkiness and charisma. After all their hard work we’re happy to announce that they completely nailed their first acting gigs and we are very pleased with the final product.

This was one of our more high tech films that took us a little longer to produce and edit but in the end it was worth all the hard work. The visual effects (the green screen in particular) also played a significant role in the film– adding some excitement to the laughs and reinforcing the overall production quality of Albina and Slavik’s film. Through some crafty music mixing, editing, sound design, and slick camera work we were really able to achieve the look that we were aiming for, and at the end of the day we are proud to say that “Blind Date” is definitely not your typical love story! So sit back, relax, and enjoy Visualaz’s latest feature “Blind Date.”

December 19th, 2010 was one of the most freezing days of 2010, but it made Zoya and Steve’s wedding day even more special. They weren’t planning on being filmed outside, but we did our magic and convinced them to drive out to Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island for some outstanding shots. Because no reservations were made for filming at that location, in order to be discrete Zoya and Steve decided to “abandon” their limo and drive in the Visualaz “carriage”.  We had about 10 min to film this fun couple on a background of picturesque New York scenery as well as the majestic Verrazano Bridge. Our team was wearing triple layers, and we were freezing just by looking at Zoya and Steve. But they did an amazing job not turning into icicles, and it was so worth it. The next stop was the beautiful reception hall on Staten Island, NY – the Excelsior Grand catering hall. Entertainment was provided by the very talented D & E Entertainment (Douglas Genuard and Eddie Ganz) and boy did they make everyone go bonanza on the dance floor! Igor was making his sexy moves on the dance floor with the love of his life time – his Steadicam.

Please enjoy their cinematic trailer of the wedding day.
