Featured Film | Bridal Musings

There are a ton of wedding blogs to get fabulous wedding inspiration, but seeing the same old thing can get old after a while.  However, when I ran into the wedding blog Bridal Musings I immediately noticed there was something different. I found them on Pinterest when I was looking for wedding film inspiration and I LOVE that they have a whole gallery of awesome wedding films. I also love the breadth of inspiration on their blog–it isn’t just full of one type of weddings, but hip wedding inspiration from around the world.

I was thrilled when they decided to feature Jewels and Zach’s Montana Wedding film  on their blog–and I’m excited to link over to our film on Bridal Musings today!

 

Happy Holidays from Zinchuk Films!

Dmitriy + Mar’yana | Unconditionally and Forever


Dmitriy and Mar’yana were one of our wonderful Slavic couples this year – Zinchuk Films began in 2007 working primarily in the Slavic community and it is such a pleasure when we have a chance to work with them again. Their wedding was at the Slavic Christian Center, where we’ve shot many times before, but with Mar’yana’s eye for detail it transformed into such an elegant place. Dmitriy’s music talent filled the room during the reception when he sang both with his family and with a special song he wrote and performed for his new wife.

This wedding was a bit different from the usual – they had no first glance; instead, Dmitriy first saw his bride as she came down the aisle. It ended up being such an emotional moment (one we couldn’t help but highlight in the film!). Christian Slavic receptions are usually held in the afternoon and don’t include any dancing, so there was no first dance for this couple, but the early end to the party allowed us to catch the last bit of light at Gasworks park with Seattle’s amazing skyline in the background.

This couple is so genuine it was easy to capture their love! We wish them and their families so much love! Enjoy!

Featured Film | Maharani Weddings

A Maharani is an Indian princess. When we first started shooting Indian weddings, I came across the website Maharani weddings and fell in love with all the truly royal real weddings they post every day. They have a cool feature called Film-y Fridays when they post wedding films. It’s so much fun to see what other wedding cinematographers are up to!

Today, Zinchuk Films was featured! It’s so fun to see our work among the best of Indian wedding films. If you missed Keta and Goutam’s next-day edit, take a look at it on Maharani weddings!

Jewels + Zach: Stand the Test of Time


We are so excited to finally present Jewels and Zach’s highlights film! Although they both live in Texas they planned a Montana destination wedding because it’s a place close to their hearts. Jewels’s family has a home in Whitefish and that’s also where Zach proposed. Their family and friends from around the US and Canada gathered on such a beautiful August day to celebrate Jewels and Zach’s wedding & have a rockin’ party!

The wedding was at the gorgeous Whitefish Mountain Resort–in wintertime it’s one of the best ski hills in the US and in summer it’s an outdoor adventure park. Jewels got ready at her family’s condo right in the ski village while Zach and his boys got ready in a rental house nearby. We spent the day with the awesome photographer Lindsey, of Lindsey Jane Photography.

Montana is a very special place for us, too, because Jennifer grew up there. This trip actually marked our son’s first trip ‘home’ to Montana. Luckily, grandma and grandpa drove up to Whitefish to babysit and Jennifer’s brother came to help us shoot the ceremony at the top of the mountain (thanks, Mike!). Of course, it was a challenge to have baby along with us. At that point, Nikita was 10 months old and still waking up a few times at night. Good thing we work well on no sleep:)

Enjoy!

After shooting this fun wedding, we took a little family trip through Glacier National Park and then down to Helena to see relatives.

Thank you Zach and Jewels! And congratulations on your happy marriage – we wish you many years of love together!!
