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!)

Dionna & Theus-Laughter and Love

Bold colors and beautiful fall weather, a recipe for a beautiful wedding day! Dionna and Theus are such a wonderful couple and they are so full of life. The entire day was filled with family and friends, smiles and laughter. Their ceremony was held at Mt. Olive Missionary Church in downtown Louisville-the live music during the ceremony was incredible! The celebration continued with food and dancing at Woodhaven Country Club; a beautiful ending to a beautiful day.

Barefoot with Butterflies-Allie & Jeremy

When I met with Allie & Jeremy about their wedding day, they told me they both loved nature and the outdoors.  In planning their wedding day, they mentioned the details of their outdoor wedding and I knew it was going to be beautiful.  When we arrived at Grace Christian Church in Georgetown, Kentucky, the first thing that caught my attention was that the field where Allie and Jeremy were going to be married was filled with little yellow and white butterflies.  They were so beautiful!  It added to the already beautiful landscape and decorations of the wedding; as you will see in their highlights film.  Allie and Jeremy are such a sweet couple and we really wanted to show off not just the beauty of the day but the beauty of the love that these two obviously share for each other.

Jackie's Quinceanera-What a Party!

We had the pleasure of filming a quinceanera for Jackie (her 15th birthday party).  And what a party is was!!! There was a ceremony held at St. Joseph's with the reception following at the Mellwood Arts Center in their new room.  There was so much going on from the food, to the mariachi band, the fashion show, the dancing; the list just went on and on and so did the party; as you can see from her highlights film.

Karen & Adam's Wedding Day

Karen and Adam were married over the 4th of July weekend.  It was a beautiful and emotional wedding ceremony.  The wedding ceremony and reception were both at The Olmsted in Louisville, which made for an elegant and yet intimate event.  Adam selected his son as his best man; the toast that Little Adam, aka "LA" gave to Adam and Karen actually brought a tear to my eye.  For such a young gentleman he was very well spoken.  Shannon with Leigh Photography was there creating beautiful images of the wedding ceremony and reception.  Kenny Sauter with Masters of Music did such an awesome job of entertaining the guest, as he always does.  There was even a bar sculpted out of ice!   Karen and Adam even planned a festive end of the night surprise for their guests; a private fireworks display by Louisville Wedding Fireworks.   I think their highlights film captures not only their day, but their relationship, too.


  

Stylish and Elegant-Sarah & Arturo

We had the pleasure of working with Sarah & Arturo on their wedding day and what a beautiful wedding it was!  Sarah works in the wedding industry so she knew which vendors she wanted to make her day the wedding of her dreams.  They held the ceremony at the Gardens of Ray Eden in Crestwood, KY.  As beautiful as the location is, her florist, In Bloom Again really brought style and color into the day.  The flowers were gorgeous.  Even though the heat index was about 100, you would never know it looking at the bride and groom.  They were having the time of their lives and family and friends right along side them.  Masterson's provided the wonderful food and service, with a country station and a Mexican station to please everyone.  Masters of Music kept the party going all night long.  Watch their highlights film and see what a great time everyone had.  Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

I'm in this one!

So just the other day I was in a local book store and on the shelf I saw this book.  So I picked up the copy and flipped through the pages and I am in it!  Last year I had a fellow videographer from California call me.  She was writing a book about wedding videography and was looking for wedding videographers from all over the country.  She was impressed with our work and wanted to interview me for her book.  It was really great to talk with someone in the industry about what we do.  And imagine my surprise when just a few months ago, I received a copy of the book in the mail from her as a thank you.  If you are interested, you can purchase the book at Amazon or you can find it at some of our bookstores here in town.

It's a Love Story-Angela & Ben

Such a great story!  Angela and Ben met when they were in middle school; and Ben knew from the beginning that Angela was the girl for him.  In Ben's words "we were inseparable, we always have been."  And 13 years later they walked down the aisle and pledged their life and love to one another.  And what a wedding it was!  We had the pleasure of spending the whole day with them; getting ready at the hotel, preparations at the church and even some fun footage at the hotel at the end of the night (it's PG I promise!).  The ceremony and reception were both held at St. Louis Bertrand.  Their first dance was absolutely AWESOME!  They took formal lessons from Dance with Grace and created a dance montage including Thriller, Dirty Dancing, Cotton Eye Joe and many more.  The guests loved it! You can see some of their moves in their highlights film.  Jason Eustice provided the music; he even wrote and performed a song for the couple.  J. Elizabeth Designs created all the beautiful floral arrangements, Chaney's Chocolates had a yummy chocolate fountain flowing and Fun Time Photo Booth kept the guests entertained all evening.

Love and Luck-Racheal & Will

If rain on your wedding day means luck, then Racheal and Will have enough luck to last a lifetime! This wonderful couple was married in Pikeville, KY on May 2, 2010. You may remember that this was the day of the big storm that caused the horrible flooding in Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. But the rain lightened up just enough for the day to go on as planned. The family and friends that surrounded this couple were such warm and welcoming people; and they braved the weather to come out and show their love and support of Racheal and Will.  You can really feel the love and warmth of the people and their day.

Ben & Angela: High on Love!

We just filmed this wedding last night, but I couldn't wait to share this photograph!  Ben and Angela are such a fun loving and out going couple.  We spent the entire day with them and it was one big party!  They were married at St. Louis Bertrand Catholic Church in downtown Louisville.  Check back soon to see their highlights film.  In the mean time, you can watch their love story on our website by selecting "view our films," then select "love stories." 

Mindy & Jason's Wedding Day

If I could use only one word to describe this wedding, it would have to be "Perfect."  Mindy and Jason's wedding day was an absolute dream!  The weather could not have been better for an outdoor wedding and everything seemed to happen so smoothly.  The wedding was held at Spring Valley Golf Club in Lexington, KY.  The bride and groom were both so relaxed; but I guess that had a lot to do with Leann Shields, their wedding planner.  She did an absolute wonderful job of pulling this wedding together.  Her decorations were gorgeous and the candy buffett was a HUGE hit!  Mindy and Jason selected Todd Pellowe as their photographer and he was a great professional to work with.  He had such a great rapport with the couple so be sure to check his blog to see some of the wonderful shots he captured.
There was so much going on a the reception between the photo booth, the unbelievable grooms cake, provided by Confused Confections and the nonstop dancing, provided by Sounds2Go.  It was truly a memorable day and we are so honored that Mindy and Jason chose us to be a part of it.

Sara & Robert's wedding highlights

These are just the highlights from Sara & Robert's wedding video!  Everyone at this wedding and reception had such a great time; the dancing lasted all through the night.  The entire bridal party was a fun group to work with all day long.  The wedding was held at The Grand in New Albany.  Sara & Robert are huge Dave Matthew's Band fans and so they chose their favorite song for this video.  It was a wonderful wedding and a wonderful day!
