We love the opportunity to experience new places and this wedding was certainly a beautiful wedding to remember. Abby and Russ were married in Bloomington, IN at Deer Park Manor and the reception was held outdoors under a tent at the same location. Watch the video and pay attention to who the ring bearer is. Very cool. The grounds and the facility at Deer Park Manor made this event stand out.
We had so much fun at the reception. Everyone was dancing and celebrating to the max. Helping sustain the party atmosphere was one of our favorite bands Dave & Rae. They rocked the tent. Even the Bloomington PD showed up to see them :)
This is a little movie like trailer we did for David and LeAnn. This was a beautiful wedding held at St. Lukes United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, IN. The reception was held at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. One of the things we remember about this wedding was the heartfelt speech given by the Brides father. I have 4 daughters and the thought of going through that 4 times is going to kill me...I think.
We are looking forward to editing the Highlight and main video.
We shot alongside Andrew Scalini and the wedding was coordinated by Casey Scott of Etcetera.
We found out today that we won Channel 6 A-List as Indy's Best Wedding Videographer!
Business has been great in 2008 and we are looking at 2009 as being an even better year. We have had a blast getting to know new people, meeting new collegues and seeing new places and there is more to come.
We never want to be comfortable with were we are at and we are always looking for opportunities to improve our cinematography and editing, whether in the form of new tools or just working on our shooting skills. We will be attending ReFrame in New Orleans in October and then again in April we will be in Austin, Texas. As important it is to invest in good equipment, we believe it is equally important to invest in yourself as well.
This was a wedding we filmed in Cicero, IN at the Cicero Christian Church for Stephanie and Duane. They were great to work with and are two of the nicest people you would want to meet. As the wedding video captures, this was an emotion packed day for Stephanie. She looked very beautiful on her wedding day. Duane seemed calm, cool and collected but there is a point where he sees her coming down the isle and appears to be at a loss for words. I can only imagine that he was thinking, "Wow".
One of the things we most like about being in the wedding cinematography business is being able to experience the wedding day with the couple and to observe the relationships that they have fostered over the years. It was quite evident that family is very important to Duane and Stephanie. We never tire of seeing the emotions of Father and Daughter and Mother and Son as they prepare for this day and of course the intimate moment of the first dances.
The reception was held at the beautiful Bridgewater. The reception is on our list of one of the all time favorites. The toasts were a little like a play, a roast and a commercial rolled into one. We just might post that section later on.
Congratulations Stephanie and Duane. I keep running into the couple so I'm sure we will see each other soon :)

Some Comments About the Highlight
John/Jennifer, I was able to watch the video last night! WOW...that's all I can say. Duane and I are so happy with it! The moments you picked out for the day were so touching! We also both said we didn't remember you guys being around to catch all of those things.
Anyway, everyone that has seen it in my family has just raved over it! Thanks for doing such a great job.
Thanks again!!
Stephanie
