Dara and David met while working on a political campaign in 2004.  They had us produce our famous Wedding at the Wedding to show their  friends and family during their celebration. We edited the footage so that you can view their history and wedding the way it was seen, by  their guests, on August 17th, 2008.

Jay Stein: Celebrating 65 Years of Memories

Jay's family had us produce a surprise 65th Biography production to  celebrate Jay's birthday. We interviewed Jay's family and extended  family to create an exciting and moving 30 minute story.  Since this  was a surprise for Jay we interviewed him yet he thought it was for a  video we were producing for the company he owns. He loved the video  shown at his surprise birthday party and he was happily surprised  that he was the star of his production. Enjoy a short version of his  story as he talks about how he fell in love with his wife, Gretchen.

Biography WeddingStories: SARA AND TODD at THE INTERCONTINENTAL

Sara loved her wedding and is kind enough to share with our viewers how she and her mom created such a wonderful wedding.

"My mom and I spent 8.5 months planning the wedding for my husband and I and I have to say that I can't think of one thing that I would change. It's so hard to try and visualize how you think your wedding day will turn out, but I can't complain about anything.

Aside from the things that we did ourselves, our day would not have been possible without the help from all of our wedding specialists. We chose the InterContinental Hotel in Boston for many reasons.  The most important reasons being that it was convenient for all of our guests, it was right on Boston Harbor and the staff; including Paul Melino were wonderful to work with.

Jeff and Andrea: A Hot Air Balloon Ride Turn Into a Wedding Proposal

Jeff and Andrea had a wonderful wedding at the Taj, on the Fourth  of July. While fireworks were shooting across the Boston skies, we  showed a Wedding at the Wedding that showcased how Jeff and Andrea fell in love. DJ David Pettengill, one of New England's best, mixed  crowd pleasing musical sets that kept the crowd dancing till early  morning while The Taj held another first class wedding celebration.

Dani Kwatcher: She Came Late To Her Own Bat Mitzvah

When Eye2Eye announced Dani into the room, she was no where to be found. Her Dad, Mark, and her Mom, Tali, realized she was still at a soccer game and made her run the 10 miles to the Belmont Country Club to celebrate with her friends and family. Sounds strange, yet once you view the video you will see how it all turned out!

Wedding BiographyStories: MARLA AND PETER AT THE FOUR SEASONS

The interesting thing about a wedding is that there are two sets of families coming to this milestone event. One side knows the groom while the other side only knows the bride.

We love to show a video, after dinner, that highlights the history of the bridal couple and how they met. We'll add in video footage of the wedding that just took place and before you know it both families are cheering, crying, and loving what we call "The Wedding at the Wedding".

Marla and Peter had a fabulous wedding at The Four Seasons, in Boston. Marla and her Mom both agreed that the video we showed, that night, was one of the true highlights of the wedding.
