Win a Vintage Wedding Film at Get Hitched Give Hope!!

It’s only days away: the 2011 Get Hitched Give Hope charity auction // wedding extravaganza! In my opinion, it is the best bridal show/part Seattle has to offer. Last year’s party was a blast–and raised over $64,000 to grant wishes for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer patients. GHGH is a pretty awesome concept: bring together the best wedding vendors Seattle has to offer so that brides can bid in both the silent auction and the fast-paced live auction to get great deals on bridal gear and all the proceeds go to charity!!

This year’s event is Thursday, October 27th from 6-9pm, at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Seattle. This year’s goal is to raise $75,000 to grant wishes for adult patients with life-threatening illnesses and their families, and ZinchukFilms is doing it’s part. We are donating a full wedding film package to the cause!!!

Last year, Taz and Channy won an extra-special Love Story film and it was so fun telling their story, which was shown at the wedding of their dreams.  This year we decided to up the ante and donate our ‘Vintage Fusion’ wedding film package—an over $2,500 value!  It includes up to 8 hours of wedding day coverage on high definition film AND vintage Super 8 film.  We will edit the events of the wedding day into a cinematic film that lasts up to 15 minutes.  This is an exciting way to remember the sounds and moments that made your day really special!!

This is an awesome opportunity to get your wedding cinematography taken care of AND to know that your money is going to a great cause!!  We hope you can join us on Thursday – get your tickets online or at the door.  It will be an awesome evening with free drinks, yummy food, fun entertainment, a LIVE AUCTION, and the chance to win some really amazing stuff!!

We look forward to seeing you!!

 

He’s here!

Our little boy is here! After waiting and waiting (first babies are often born late), our baby decided to come into the world. Nikita is now just over 2 weeks old and we’re getting into a new routine – feeding around the clock, sleeping in 2-hour spurts (both him and us), figuring out how to juggle work & family. Finding a new normal.

This little man has brought such joy to our lives!

Robin + Dennis: The Spirit of the Day

We’re a little behind on blogging–but that’s because our baby is here!  We’ll post the birth announcement very soon, but we wanted to make sure that this highlights film was blogged:)

Robin & Dennis’s wedding was on a gorgeous July day at the Seattle Aquarium.  The bright sunlight posed a few challenges (shooting into the sun for the ceremony) but because of that challenging light we ended up with some gorgeous ceremony shots!   and despite the bright light, we love the way everything turned out!  It was such a fun film to put together–we decided to approach things a little differently: instead of highlighting live sound from the toasts or vows, we let the shots  flow with the music to tell the story of Robin & Dennis’s happy day!

Of course, this amazing day wouldn’t have come together so beautifully if not for the team Robin & Dennis pulled together:

Wedding coordinator:  Chesney Schmidt – All the Flutter

Photography: Jean Marcus Strole Photography

Cinematography: ZinchukFilms

Morning location: The Alexis Hotel

Dress: San Patrick

Ceremony & Reception: Seattle Aquarium

Floral: Fena Flowers

Cake: Starry Nights

Taz + Chanvatha: Love Story


We first met Chanvatha at the 2010 Get Hitched, Give Hope–she first made an impression with her excitement for her wedding and her support of our creative work. She also turned out to be our silent auction winner–she bid the winning amount for a Love Story Film–the proceeds of which all went to Get Hitched, Give Hope’s charity, the Dream Foundation, which grants wishes to adults with terminal diseases.

We spent one Saturday afternoon shooting this Love Story Film and put it together to show at their intimate Hawaiian wedding.  They were so cute–slightly nervous during their individual interviews, they came alive when they were together.  Such a great couple! It was such an honor to be a part of their Love Story.

Enjoy!

A few of the beautiful places we visited to tell their story:

We will be participating again this year at Get Hitched, Give Hope with another great donation–this year we’re donating a full WEDDING FILM!! Stop by our table on October 27, say hi, and enjoy the party!

 

Almost time!

This has been an exciting summer for ZinchukFilms – we’ve been busy shooting weddings, love stories, and wrapping up a ton of edits. We will unveil a number of different films for you over the coming days and weeks.

Most of all, we have been busy preparing for baby. Every Wednesday evening we headed to birth class–learning more than all that we needed to know about labor–and newborns. Jennifer’s belly grew and grew . . and continues to grow today. We will meet our little boy any day now!

We recently had a maternity photo session with our friend Vlad at Voir Photography. Enjoy a few pics–and find even more on their blog!
