Summer of Love

This year we have several of our Love Stories scheduled for brides and grooms. Love Stories are a video biography if you will, documenting how you met, fell in love, who proposed and how and your thoughts on your future life together as husband and wife. These are generally projected on the big screen for your guests at the wedding reception. These have become very popular add-ons in our packages this year.
Many of our brides tell us that they like the stories because it gives them a chance to introduce their spouse to the other side of the family. Many times the bride and groom have not met many of the relatives in their new families. For example, last fall we flew to Little Rock, Arkansas to film the story of Thomas and Jenny for their wedding this past January. They are both very involved in their church in Arkansas and the proposal took place in Arkansas, so it only made sense to go to Arkansas to complete the filming. You can check out thier story in the Gallery under "Upgrades".
In March of this year Kayla and Austin showed their story for guests at their reception. Many friends and family had no idea they met over the Internet, through Yahoo personals to be exact!
Another twist on the Love Stories is for currently married couples to document their life as well. We will be working with Shannon and Joe this summer. Joe and Shannon met us a few years ago after we filmed the wedding and Love Story of Joe's brother. This December, they will show their Story to guests at their 5th wedding anniversary party! We can't wait to post this one later this year, they are a phenominal couple full of life and the most carefree attitude of anyone I know!
So this past Wednesday we spent the day filming with Anastasia and Jason who will be married 7/7/07. We completed the interview portion of the story but the most fun part of the day was getting the casual shots we overlay in the video. We went downtown to the river where Jason proposed and reinacted it, and spent some time around the Hyatt where the two started feeling adventurous and played in the water-wall fountain! A stop at the newly renovated Keeper of Plains was also great! Playing softball was important to their story so we headed east to get some great shots of them pitching to each other, etc.
If you are interested in a Love Story, give us a shout, we'd love to talk to you!
