You've got mail!

What a great phrase... especially to those brides out there waiting for their DVD package! I have been able to get caught up to where I wanted to be at this point. All May weddings went out a while ago and I am over half way through June! After Sheila and Kevin recieved their video, I got this email a few days later. I share it not to boast, but because I enjoyed working with them and their feedback helps share some of the special touches we take pride in!!

"Dawn,

Kevin and I got our video yesterday and absolutely loved it! You really captured all of the important moments of our special day. I love that you used different camera angles for everything, it gave us the opportunity to see the things going on that we missed that we missed. The microphones at the church worked out great! You really heard everything that Kevin and I said. I love the music that you picked! The Kenny Chesney song is now my new favorite song. The special touches that you put on the video were just amazing. The slow motion added so much emotion to the video. We laughed when Kevin was falling out of his groomsman's arms and cried when we were dancing with our ring bearer and flower girl. We also enjoyed watching our guests do the chicken dance at high speed, that was hilarious. The DVD case that you gave us as a gift is so cute. It is the perfect way to keep our video safe for years to come (if I can ever stop watching it).

Overall we are thrilled with our video and your work. You have been nothing but a pleasure to work with and by far were one of my favorite vendors from our day. It was so nice to work with someone who you knew really cared. We are so happy we found you to be our videographer!

Thank you for everything!
Sheila & Kevin Keough

Thanks Kevin and Sheila! I also look forward to hearing from other brides, as your feedback and reaction to your wedding videos is one of the reasons we do what we do!!!

Whats going on...

Well, we now have 2 weeks to get caught up, as we are off for the next 2 weekends! I am so excited to say that all May weddings are finished and the last one is going in the mail tomorrow! I have minor touches to finish on our June 10th wedding and am over half way through the June 16th and 23rd weddings!! Such a great feeling to have that sense of accomplishment! Not to mention, I absolutely love to deliver the final product sooner then expected to clients!

Its funny, cause I had plans to be a little further ahead last week, but then on Tuesday (last week)my 10 month old daughter Caitlyn, decided to master crawling and pulled an Evil Kineval (no clue how to spell) down my steps and landed on her head on a ceramic tile floor. So we spent the night at Children's... got a CT and she's okay (thank God!), but time was lost there, cause that was a scheduled "work" evening!!

Anyway, things are good here and I am starting to book more weddings for next year! I am so excited, as we have some great venues booked, like the Pittsburgh Zoo, W&J (who just started doing weddings) and more! So much to look forward to!

Okay, after the whole day at the zoo with the kids today, I'm beat. Signing off! G'night!

July 21st Wedding

Wow! That sums up our day today!! Today was the wedding of Sophia and Mike. It took place at St. Mary of the Mount on Mt. Washington. We showed up early and caught the previous wedding taking place, so we decided to check it out. What a GEORGEOUS church!! I ran to a friend Photographer, Rebecka (Becka's Place) and had a moment to chat before it was time to work.


The ceremony was about to begin and it was discovered... we had no bride! The limo had forgotten to pick her up!! So after a minor glitch, the ceremony took place and went great! We took the normal photos, then headed to an overlook to get some of the "Mt. Washington" shots. We worked with Sunny Carney of Sunny's Photos today, one of our favorites and as usual, we had a blast with her!

The reception took place at the Carnegie Museum, in the Music Hall! What a beautiful venue! We went to several locations throughout the museaum for some shots before everything got started. I'm sure the photos will be absolutely stunning from Sunny, because from my lense they looked great!

Then we headed to the reception which was beautiful. Very dark, but with the lighting they provide, it was perfect for video... I didnt' even have to bring out my light all night! From their first dance to the moment Mike serenaded Sophia to the end or the night, things went perfectly! The love between Sophia and Mike was like a lingering fog in the room... They are such beautiful people, inside and out, and we feel blessed to have worked with them on their special day!!

July 7th, 2007

7-7-07 The biggest wedding day of the year! Every where I went that day I saw Brides and limos! We had the privelege of working with Jeremiah and Ashley in Greensburg. The ceremony was held at Zions Luthern Church and it went very well. I must say that I absolutely loved the bridesmaids dresses, they were my favorite this year (so far). And of course Ashley was georgeous as well! There was a sense of nervousness in the air, but those feelings make the day special!!

After a touching ceremony, we headed to Mountain View Inn for the reception. The room was decorated beautifully and the party was great! All nerves were gone here, and the dinner and dancing begain. I had a great time working with Ashley and Jeremiah and look forward to working closer with them as I begin editing!! CONGRATS!!

June 30th Wedding


Today's wedding took us to Mount Olive Baptist Church in Rankin for the wedding of Krystin and Jason. The wedding ceremony went very quickly and flawlessly (... almost... if only the unity candle would have lit!). After some quick photos, we headed to the Westwood Golf Club by Kennywood. Its a very nice location and the room was decorated beautifully.

We did some photos on the golf course then headed inside for a great meal and a fun party! Jason and Krystin were wonderful to work with, and on our end, the day went great! Beautiful Bride, Beautiful Day... Beautiful Video!! Photos coming soon!!
