In November of 2006 I had the opportunity to work the Taylor Monen of Soirees. Taylor is a well respected and sought after wedding and event planner in our area. I only wish I had the energy that she packs into that small frame. Wow, she is a pistol. She and her staff are very professional and were extremely prepared. To say the events we worked on went without a hitch would be an understatement. She and her staff took care of all details, including us vendors, so that all the bride had to do was enjoy her special day. Thanks Taylor. Be sure to visit often as I will be posting some video clips of her weddings.

We are finally accepting credit cards!! Yes, we decided it was time to bring some convenience to our customers.

We will be accepting Visa, Mastercard, American Express & Discover. 

I recieved this email from Amanda just this morning. It is emails like this that keep me going and pushes me to try to produce the best videos I can. I always love hearing that a bride is happy with my work.

Shane,

We absolutely LOVE our highlights video!  Our friends and family are also raving about how good it is.  No one has ever seen a wedding video edited this way.  It’s amazing!  We can’t wait to see the full video.  Tripp and I are so thankful that you were available for our date.

Sincerely,

Amanda

A collegue of mine has put together a set of podcasts to help the bride in the planning of her wedding. What is a podcast? Here is the Wikipedia definition:

Podcast – A podcast is a media file that is distributed by subscription (paid or unpaid) over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers

The podcasts I am linking to here has lots of useful information to help you. There are 10 episodes with 10 different topics ranging from guests to vendors to dos and donts. Have fun and listen and you may just find just the answer you were looking for. You can link to the podcasts here.

Well, it’s been a busy week here. Amanda & Tripp’s wedding is coming along great and the edit should be complete this week. Amanda & Tripp were married at Patten Chapel in Chattanooga with the reception following at the always elegant Read House in the Silver Ballroom & Terrace Room. The wedding was photographed by Liz Power Photography. Liz and her husband Terry do wonderful work. Be sure to check out Liz’s website to see some wonderful examples of her work. Liz was kind enough to allow me to use one of her photographs from Amanda’s wedding in my February ad in City Scope Magazine.

  Back in December, City Scope Magazine called and said they were putting together and special wedding edition for February and wanted to interview me for the article. Be sure to check out the article and see our ad. I am sure you will find some helpful hints for your upcoming wedding.  

I recently returned from a week long wedding videographer’s convention in Jacksonville, FL. The event was hosted by the 4Ever Group. This is an organization of wedding videographer’s from all over the world. There were many top videographers who hosted seminars and inspired us all to strive to produce the best work possible. The week was extremely productive and I returned with more knowledge and eager to get started in the 2007 wedding season. We are off to a great start already.

Next month, I will be attending a 2 day workshop with Mark & Trisha Von Lanken. I was inspired by this husband and wife team. They are producing award winning cinematic video productions and I am excited about learning first hand from them in a one on one environment. The skills I will take home from this workshop will help me to produce even better wedding videos for you. 

Be sure to check out my blog regularly for updates and new videos.
