Wedding at The Seelbach in Louisville--Abby & Mike
It had been raining for days, but the weather reports were predicting a break over the weekend; just in time for Abby and Mike's wedding at The Seelbach in downtown Louisville. And when Saturday morning rolled around, the skies were clear, the sun was shining down and the temperature was perfect. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful day to get married.
The Jewish ceremony took place under the Chuppah in the Medallion Ballroom. The team of In Bloom Again worked their magic and created a beautiful and colorful atmosphere for the ceremony. The words spoken by the Rabbi, cousin to the bride, were so wonderfully moving as you will hear when you watch their highlights film.
At the reception, everyone was able to relax and enjoy all the festivities planned. The Galaxy Band from St. Louis put on an incredible performance; mixing it up and keeping the guests out on the floor and having a great time. We were honored to be there to work with Abby and Mike as they celebrated such a wonderful day with all the amazing people in their lives.
Venue: The Seelbach Hilton

Why a Wedding Film
I was surfing today and found this wonderful blog post by a fellow filmmaker in Florida, Jocelyn Karas. I thought this would be very helpful to brides in the planning process. This entry gives wonderful reasons for placing a priority on a wedding film when you are planning your wedding budget.
"As wedding filmmakers, we are often told by brides that having a wedding film is “not a priority.” There are many reasons why having a lasting high quality film of your wedding day is absolutely vital to reliving your special day forever.
The wedding day is one that, for many couples, passes in a blur. Moments such as the way you moved while dancing your first dance, your father walking you down the aisle, and the sound of your quivering voice as you recite your vows can only be captured in a wedding film. These moments in your film serve as a legacy that will be watched by your children and grandchildren. To quote one of our past brides, “I never realized how important my wedding film would become to me. My dad who was ill at the time of the wedding was not going to be able to walk me down the aisle. At the last minute he ended up walking me down the aisle. Having the film of that moment with my father and our other loved ones has been priceless to us.”
We hear couples say, “I’ll never watch my wedding film.” If we could only count the number of couples that have called to tell us that they watch their wedding films over and over. If you choose to hire a company that is not adequately trained or whose editing style you don’t enjoy, you probably will not watch your film. However, if you educate yourself on the cinematic styles that are offered today, you will easily see that contemporary wedding films are entertaining and timeless. By hiring a professional you are ensuring that every special moment will be captured, it will be professionally shot and edited, you will be able to hear the vows and toasts perfectly (something not easily accomplished without professional sound equipment) and the filmmakers will remain unobtrusive on your wedding day.
We live in an interactive age. With outlets such as blogs and e-mail, couples are able to post their cinematic highlights online and e-mail them to friends and family who might not have been able to make it on the actual wedding day. Many couples display their films in digital picture frames. We live in a multimedia world and having a wedding film engages people in a way that no other media can.
Many of our couples come to meet with us because they have a friend who has told them how much they regret not having a film of their wedding. No one should have regrets regarding their wedding day. By finding a quality professional cinematic film company, you will have given yourselves the gift of reliving your wedding day anytime you wish."
After the wedding day is over, the food has been eaten, the band played their last song and the lights have been turned out, all you have to show for your day are the photos, the video and your memories. Make sure they are good ones!

Louisville Wedding Videographer-Great start to 2011!
Wow! We are already 2 months into 2011 and I still cannot believe it! We had such an awesome 2010 and for that we want to say a big "Thank You" to all of our wonderful couples. We really enjoyed working with each of you and loved the opportunity to capture your wedding day. And as 2011 came around, there was lots of good news for us. We were honored to receive the second year in a row the "Bride's Choice Award 2011" for wedding videography in Louisville, Kentucky from Weddingwire.com; this award is given to the top 5% of wedding vendors as decided by past clients. Then a few weeks later we learned that we came in 3rd place in The Best Of Kentuckiana for Wedding Videography! We are so thankful for everyone who voted for us and supported us. We are proud to know that our couples love their wedding videos so much that they want to brag about us online.
So with all this good news coming our way, what did we do? We went to New Orleans! (okay, so we had the trip already planned before we found all this out, but it sounded good;). But this wasn't a trip just for fun. We had the opportunity to spend several days with some of the best in the world of wedding videography and some of the best wedding videographers out there. We talked with old friends and new from all over the world and shared ideas and tips with others in our industry. Dennis and I learned so much during our stay and we are so excited to use our new knowledge and great ideas with all the great weddings we have coming up!
We made a short film about our experience in New Orleans-this was our first trip. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

Greta & Matt-Dancing the Night Away
Greta & Matt are such a beautiful and sweet couple! It was a beautiful fall day for a wedding. Their wedding day was filled with lots of family and friends and quite a large bridal party! Greta looked beautiful in her mermaid style wedding gown. Greta and Matt's wedding ceremony was held at St. Louis Bertrand Catholic Church in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. The reception followed at St. Michael's community center. There, the guests were entertained with food, dancing and a live performance by The Wilson Brother's Band! You can tell by looking at the faces in their highlights film that everyone was having such a wonderful time.

Natalie & LeRoy-Time for Something a Little Different
When I met with Natalie and LeRoy before their wedding, they told me that they wanted their highlights film to be different. The groom is a huge Michael Jackson fan and really like rock, too. They didn't want a typical pop song that everybody uses; they wanted something exciting with a lot of energy that would really show off their unique personalities. So I suggested this song and they loved it. Once I got into the editing of the footage, the feel and the fun of their day was really expressed through the song. Their wedding ceremony started at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in New Albany with the wedding reception at The Grand in New Albany. Both families were fun loving and I had a feeling from the start that it was going to be a party to remember. We worked along side Wendy Burk Wedding photography. The DJ's from Spin-Around-Sounds kept the music playing and the people on the dance floor. I was not disappointed one bit! So many of the guests had us laughing out loud throughout the night. It was such an awesome wedding and we are honored that we got to be a part of it.

Angela & Brant-The Desire of Your Heart
We had the pleasure of filming Angela & Brant's wedding day at the Marriott in downtown Louisville and what a warm and wonderful event it was! The wedding ceremony was incredibly intimate with a wonderful speech by the officiate, Bob Cherry. As a friend of the family, he had the privilege of watching Angela grow up which made the ceremony very personal. In Bloom Again worked their magic and created a beautiful setting for the wedding day with a custom cross and gorgeous bouquets and floral centerpieces. In the Kentucky Ballroom, the reception was a blast! SUP did an awesome job getting all the guests out on the dance floor and having a great time. We had such a good time working along side Studio E Photography; be sure to visit their blog to check out the amazing pictures from this wedding. And while filming the toasts, I had the luck of getting hit by a flying cork for the first time. Nice shot Brant! Watch their highlights film to really get a feel forthe love, the friendship and the joy that was their wedding day (please feel free to leave comments!)
