Jonathan & Jessica’s island reception

What a day For Jessica & Jonathan. In fact, what a week. The bridal party just returned from the couple’s destination wedding in Jamaica and brought the caribbean back with them. They were close friends & family, and the experience seemed to have brought them even closer. Hearing the stories about the trip also made it easier for me to get to know the party.

The staff at the Kokomo Country Club did a great job taking care of everyone. DJ Shawn D was awesome, interacting with the crowd, maintaining the party atmosphere all night long . I enjoyed meeting the husband & wife team from Veldman Photography. Being a friend of the couple, I’m sure Abby was able to capture their true emotions.  The cake table was beautifully arranged with handmade chocolates and a beautiful 3 tier cake from J. Edwards.

Thanks Jessica & Jonathan for including me in your day.

Thomas & Amanda

When you focus on a person for a full day you really get a sense of who they are. This is one of the things I enjoy about wedding videography. Throughout the wedding day I look for details. These are the pieces of information that connect the events, locations, and especially the people together as part of something larger.
I’m close to finishing post-production on Thomas & Amanda’s Wedding, which was shot June 19th. They were a great couple to work with: fun yet sincere. They’re a perfect of example of my previous point. As I reviewed & edited their footage, I could tell they truly loved each other. The looks on their faces, the subtle & not so subtle emotions… This day meant more to them than a wedding & party. This was the start of their life.
I’m glad I could play a part in capturing those details. Thanks Guys!

Wedding budget priorities.

I wanted to share a paragraph from an article I came across recently.

The Wedding and Event Videographers Association (WEVA), commissioned a 2005 nationwide study to look at brides’ attitudes about videography both before and after their weddings. The brides were asked to rank videography on a personal “Top 10” list of wedding priorities.  Prior to their weddings, barely 50% of the brides listed videography as a Top 10 item. However, after the weddings the emphasis changed dramatically. A whopping 79% of the brides placed videography among their Top 10 items for wedding planning.

I bet a survey conducted years afterwards would show those percentages increasing further. Here’s why: Your video  captures the timeless intimate details of your individual wedding celebration. It endures long after the flowers & cake.  Your video will be around long after you’ve forgotten who gave you the fondue set.
