Last Friday, Todd and I make a quick trip over to Central Oregon to produce a promotional video for a new wedding site near Sunriver, Oregon. 

Ghost Rock Ranch is a unique location with plenty of charm, a dose of the “cowboy” feel and some amazing views. We’d highly recommend this site for anyone looking to Bend as a destination wedding. Taken from their website, here’s a few amenities offered at Ghost Rock Ranch:

 Horse drawn carriage for the bride’s entrance or special events.

 Spectacular views for photos

 Deck at the pond

 Deck off the house

 Endless choices for entertainment location

 Accommodations for a limited number from the wedding party

 Industrial kitchen ideally suited for caterers

We arrived early afternoon on Friday, shot some footage in and around the lodge, then headed back to edit a video together that would play at their Grand Opening the next day.

The main thing we love at VWF is working with couples to create the best wedding film possible. A close second to that (behind the actual “art” of creating such films) is getting to travel to cool places. It’s mostly the Pacific Northwest, which, we think, is one of the coolest regions in the country, but occasionally it’s to some place like….the Bahamas, Paradise Island. Below are some pics of me filming (the day before, and during the ceremony) at a recent wedding in the Bahamas. Thanks to Glen at Aperture Photographics for the pics.

Thats what we do. By plane, train or automobile, we go where the action is at. Recently that just happened to be Reno, Nevada, shooting a wedding film for Katie & Kyle. This wedding film project was a collaboration with our Portland Oregon friends, Whitney and Dan over at www.blissstudio.net we had the pleasure of shooting their wedding film in Portland a few years back, check them out for some innovative wedding photography. Thanks for lending us a few stills for the Vivid Wedding Films blog guys, nice work as usual!

We will post some footage of the Katie & Kyle film once it hits the editing room. They were great to work with, because they understood the importance of setting ample time aside in their busy wedding day for both great videography and photography, the two go hand in hand. They left capturing the images of the day to us, and did exactly what every couple should do on their wedding day…..BREATHE DEEP & ENJOY IT! Thanks for showing us the beautiful state of Nevada on a crisp fall day. 

We recently returned from the beautiful state of Colorado where we had the privilege to shoot Annie and Andy’s wedding. It took place just outside of Denver in the city of Golden. A very nice little city and a beautiful fall day for a wedding.

I’ll post more after we get more done in the editing room. We’re starting to plow through our “end of summer/early fall” weddings and hope to get most of them done soon after the new year. It’s been an eventful year for Vivid and we’re looking forward already to 2008!
