Hey Guys,
Well I know its been way too long since I posted. Its just been soo busy with getting all these projects out the door the blog HAD to wait. Anyways me and Lyn are leaving tommrow to head to Arkansas to do a really cool wedding in Bentonville "Home Of Walmart". We are going to be working with an amazing couple who both work as executives at walmart headquarters! They are so cool to work with, they are full of life and are a blast to be with. Both of them have amazing stories of how they met and how he came to write this song. The song is about he never thought he could have her as a wife. But as you can see things changed and they fell in love!
A couple weeks ago we drove to Little Rock, Arkansas to shoot their really cool music video where Mark "The Groom" had written and produced a song for Paulin" The Bride". Its a really cool video that we can't wait for you guys to see. I can't show you any pics of the bride in her dress because Mark is not allowed to see her till the wedding day HA! But I can show you a screen shot from the actual video of them together in different outfits. This video was shot in HD as part of the CINEMATICBRIDEHD package. Its amazing how beautiful the footage turned out we are able to do so much more in HD its simply amazing!

WEDDING TRAILER
Hey Guys,
About two weeks ago, Lyn and I headed out to do a wedding on a rainy Saturday morning. We were really nervous about the weather because the wedding was outside of the bride Lindsey's house. Regardless, Lyn and I drove up and the setting was so beautiful with the dark clouds and the feel of a country-style wedding. We started filming as Lindsey got ready, and later we were able to capture some great shots of her running through the cool field and viewing the beautiful landscape. As the time for the ceremony approached and for everything to begin, it was still rainy and dark-looking. Of course, though, we proceeded as normal despite the threat of rain. As soon as the couple said their vows, the sky opened up and the sun broke through over the hill--it was a m a z i n g and the timing was perfect. It was as if the heavens opened up the moment they made their vows between each other.
After the ceremony, we headed to the back of the house to film the reception, which was really nice. Tents dotted the landscape. They had really GOOD looking cakes and a variety of desserts. They even had some that they mixed up on top of a fire with ice cream, cake, etc.--I never can remember what that is called! lol. Lyn and I both had a great time filming the day. Lindsey & Lee were great to work with along with their really nice photographer, Mary Dawson, from www.mdawsonphoto.com.
Outside weddings are always so beautiful because of the amazing colors we are able to capture during the day and the way the light causes shadows in different times of the day. I am a big fan of natural lighting--I find it so romantic and very pleasing to the eyes. Anyways, I hope you guys like the trailer for their wedding. I really went with a vintagy, dark feel to it which I believe complimented the weather that day!

Seattle Project
Hey Guys,
As some of you know (and as I briefly mentioned in my last post), I was gone for a week working on an amazing project in Seattle that I am a part of with http://www.merakoh.com.
It's exciting to see this project come to life in so many amazing ways. I had a wonderful time with Me Ra, Brian, and their children, Pascaline and Blaze.
For the project, we also flew out my best friend from Chicago, Kendal Miller, who owns Lighthouse Media (www.lmpstudios.com). Kendal is an amazing Director of Photography who is full of l i f e. Check out his work--it's amazing! Kendal has taught me so many things and he is one of the reasons that I am where I am today. HE ROCKS!
Anyways, we had some really intense days full of hard work! Some of the days we would pull in over 16 hours of non-stop work.
After it was all over, I think all of us slept for several days :), but everything was totally worth the work! Post-production on my end has begun. It's amazing to see every little piece come together to make a wonderul project. As I promised yesterday, here is a short glimpse into seeing what Me Ra & Brian's kids are like! THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL KIDS and they both are full of life
