I first had the opportunity to meet Mike Cyr, the man behind Buzz Media Company, a couple of months ago and was just blown away by his work. He truly has mastered the art of capturing your day on film and has such an incredible talent of combining film and music to tell the story of your day, and he is one of the nicest guys you will meet. After a decade of working in Manhattan in the music/film/video business for SONY, Miramax and others, he returned to Mystic to build a company he could believe in. Buzz Media Company was formed in 2003 but was years in the making.
The philosophy is simple: do creative work, collaborate with talented people and live and work in a beautiful community near family and the ocean. Most importantly- we feel fortunate that our work is about shining a light on some of the most meaningful moments in peoples lives. -Mike Cyr
On Sunday Buzz Media Company will present a workshop that discusses “Tapping into the rhythm: music and moving images. Each wedding has its own rhythm. Finding music to compliment the film is one of the most creatively rewarding parts of putting "it all together."
It is going to be such an incredible day filled with rockstar vendors! We are so excited to bring all of these amazingly talented people in one room for this event!Videos:

With just a couple days away from the big event we are so excited to introduce you to a couple of amazingly talented ladies. Erica Coppell & Tiffany Fosnight of Adeline and Grace Photography and Maggie Conley and Maria Scaglione of Maggie Conley Photography. These ladies are truly incredible in capturing your day from behind the lens and have mastered the art of photography.
On Sunday they will be presenting a workshop together that will discuss the topic: "Presentation/Designing your Heirlooms." The design and art of making images is very creative however the more collaborative part is in the final stages, which is a great inspiration topic. Adeline and Grace and Maggie Conley are very similar in their offerings as photographers and yet distinctly different in their aesthetic sensibilities. This makes a great collaborative presentation! We are thrilled to have them collaborating with us on this event

A young bride and groom (Patty and Web) 1952
Patty and Web Now
Patty and her husband Web Copp are one of the most amazing couples I have had the chance to get to know. Patty has been a Justice of the Peace for over three decades and together with her husband they officiate wedding ceremonies together. Truly a unique and extremely special experience for a couple to stand before them as they say their vows. The Copps have been happily married for over 50 years, with four children, and eleven grandchildren, they are a true symbol of love, commitment and family.
In addition to marrying brides and grooms, Patty is the author of an incredible book, What we do when we say I do. The Book reflects the humor, poignancy, frustrations and joy that are a part of planning and officiating, surrounding the most important decision people ever make. It also carries an inspirational message that can be helpful to those about to get married, those already married, and all of the extended family who play a far more important part than they imagine.
We are so excited to have them be a part of our event on May 3rd where they will talk about selecting a Justice of the Peace and the art of ceremony writing. A workshop you won't want to miss!
A schedule of all workshops will be posted this week.
