Hi-Res Photos and Your Wedding Film

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Another advantage of having Vivid take care of both video and photos at your wedding is the increased quality of print materials. We can us the photos in the final dvd design, on the dvd menu as well as in the package design. Here is a sample of a recent wedding film package.

Ghost Rock Ranch | Central Oregon Weddings

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

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.

    Top Songs for ‘First Dance’

    Saturday, May 5th, 2007

    I thought this was interesting. I Will Always Love You, by Whitney Houston, is the nation’s top choice for the first dance at weddings. Endless Love by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross was second and Angels by Robbie Williams and Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton were voted into joint third place. Source.

    New Angles

    Thursday, April 26th, 2007

    I’m pretty passionate about video. Its power to preserve the sights and sounds of an event should be enough to convince anyone to use it. But often times it’s not. I came across this article that discusses how video has changed and will change in the coming years. Check it out.

    “Imagine your dad, decked out in a tux and with his glass raised, delivering a toast that leaves you and most of your guests reaching for the hankies. Your photographer will snap the pics to preserve the moment, but after the champagne glasses clink together, Dad’s words are only a memory — unless you have them on film. Wedding videography captures the sights and the sounds of your day, evoking a feeling and portraying the day’s emotion. Your videographer is bound to catch something you missed. The bonus: With digital video — often called DV — becoming the norm, your DVD promises to have a much longer shelf life than a grainy VHS tape. That means future generations will be able to see how Grandma and Grandpa married — even if at that point they have to ask what a “DVD” is.”

    Why a Wedding Film?

    Saturday, April 14th, 2007

    It’s been almost 6 years since my wife and I got married. And while I have many memories that will never leave me, most of the day seems such a blur. We did not spend the money to get a professional videographer to capture our day.

    We had members of the family randomly using a video camera to capture events here and there, but it didn’t work out so well. At one point, my dad was holding the camera, aimed at the crowd, while he was giving the toast. As much as we laugh about that moment caught on tape, we regret not hiring someone to capture the moments of that special day.

    I began filming weddings shortly after we got married and realized that we’d made a mistake in not getting ours filmed. I wanted to make sure others had the opportunity to get their once in a lifetime days captured on film.

    My two-year-old son Cade loves watching old home videos. His favorite is “daddy boy” (as he calls it) which consists of old Super-8 films taken of me up until the age of 4 or 5. How cool would it be for him to be able to watch a DVD of his mom and dad getting married?

    Our goal is to not only provide couples with with the most creative, thoughtful wedding films around, but also to give them a piece of history they can pass down for generations to come.
