Wrapping up a few edits

I was blessed with a lot of work this spring and summer. With so many weddings to shoot comes a tremendous backlog of video to edit.
I recently wrapped up Meghan and Chad's DVD. They were married at The Homestead and their ceremony and reception were a lot of fun. I'll be upload video of their wedding soon.

As I type this, the video for Beth and Kyle's wedding is currently encoding. Their ceremony was outdoors at Maison Beliveau near Blacksburg. It was a very windy day, but everything came out great. I've uploaded the closing credits from their DVD. Hopefully the "aged film" filter comes out clean online. Trust me, it looks great on TV.



I really appreciate the patience my couples show in waiting for their video to be finished. I know it's tough. You want to see it and relive the day, but it takes A LOT of work to edit the video properly and I never rush through it for the sake of getting it out the door quickly.

That would be cheating you and selling my work short. To me, it's not worth it.

The time to book is now

As February approaches, my phone is starting to ring... a lot. Brides are looking for information, a demo, and to see if I'm booked on their date.

Too often video is the last thing on their list after spending their budget on other things. All of the details of a wedding are important and it's an expensive investment. So look at video (and photography for that matter) as the return on your investment.

Once the wedding day arrives, it is going to fly by. There is no way for couples to enjoy and reap the benefit of their time and effort that went into planning and preparing.

A wedding video is an archive of your lives on that day. Every client writes about how much they had forgotten or never saw at their wedding, but were able to enjoy it again because of the video I produced for them.

My motto is "A Wedding Video is an Heirloom". And it is true. Don't do all the work of setting up the perfect day and not take the final step and make sure the day is preserved by video.
