We headed to Irwin for the wedding of Dave and Nicole. The ceremony was located at Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church. I got to work with Dino again... yay! Always a good day when working with Dino! Their ceremony went great (had to cross my fingers on the one camera angle, but hey, who doesn't take chances from time to time and it worked GREAT). After some shots at the church, we headed to White Oak Park. The photo session wasn't included in their wedding coverage, but sometimes I just can't resist a great bride and groom and a wonderful photographer!
Their reception was a Stratigos Banquet Centre in Irwin. I had only been here before once, for a bridal show. It was set up beautifully. Dan from 5th Ace was the DJ... we have worked with Dan before, and I must say this was Dan at his best! Although, he did something I had never seen before... literally stopped the bridal dance with a line half way to the door, and said it was over so he didn't have to restart the song again!? The grandparents were in line still and so were both the bride and groom's parents!? Not sure what that was all about but I know I wouldn't have been happy (hey, who knows, maybe they asked for it to be cut short). BUT... They had a blast and the dance floor was packed all night! Congrats Dave and Nicole!

We have arrived safely!!!
Well, after Sunday's wedding, I was informed by my husband that Monday is the official relocation day! So after hours of loading and moving and storing and loading more and all that fun stuff... HERE WE ARE! We got here Monday night and as of today, I am back online and ready to get back to work! Thanks for those of you who have tried to contact us in the past week for your patience!
One other spectacular update before I get to bed... our new house is almost up! I didn't get to see it, but my hubby went up today to our storage unit and swung by on his way home and all the walls are up and he was able to go throughout the house to check it out! UGH I can't wait to go on Thursday! Last time I was there (just Saturday), it was just a foundation! I will post pics or link you to our blog after Thursday... and you can officially see the new home of DMB Videography!

Pardon Our Dust!!
We are moving!!! DMB Video is in the process of relocating. The next few months will be a bit difficult for us, as we will be transitioning from one place to another. We will try to offer you the same smooth, efficient service we take pride in, however, we are asking for your patience as we relocate to a temporary location and then to our new place! Please contact us with any concern or questions you may have. The next 2 weeks may be difficult to reach us by phone, but please continue to email us.
Our new location will be in Sarver, PA... and I can't tell you how excited I am! We will have a studio/office... no more Panera meetings! It will be here that we will meet clients, edit your events, and create your memories on DVD. We are looking forward to offering a new look and standard of service to you and will share the progress of the relocation(s) as things happen! Thanks for your continued patience and understanding!

Nice to meet you!
Just wanted to write a quick note to all of the wonderful people we met yesterday at Cavanaugh's Bride Show in Pittsburgh. After our disasterous experience in the past with bridal shows, we never anticipated the huge success we had yesterday! For those who we did have a chance to talk to... even the 2010 brides... we look forward to hearing from you and helping to keep your memories for years to come! Don't forget about the coupons... we hope you enjoyed the chocolate too! 
Its funny... my husband is seriously considering going into the wrapped chocolate favor business. If you see this and are interested... let me know. We might be able to work something out. For those who were not present at the show... we handed out blue foil wrapped Hershey's bars with our logo on the front and a coupon on the back of the paper wrapper... and we had more comments on the candy bars than we did on our videos (you can see some of them in the pictures below)!
CONGRATULATIONS also to our winners of the iPod drawing. I am not able to post the name yet (pending permission), but they have been notified via email and phone. We are also in the process of contacting our winners of the Free Love Story's! Take care and thanks again!!!

Like a fish!!!
Well, its been a while since I have taken a minute to show anything personal to my bloggers... here you go! This is a video that I took on my cell phone of my peanut Benjamin at his swim lessons. He is 3 1/2 years old and I must say... quite the swimmer! About every other lesson he just cries and won't do anything, but when he decides he wants to try... this kid can do just about anything! I even tought him yesterday how to DIVE!

UPDATES!
Yes, bloggers, you will notice a huge increase of blog posts as of today... but I regret to inform you that my blogging is going to slow down dramatically! I am working diligently on wedding videos and just can't keep up. So my new rule is, I won't be blogging about a wedding until I have something to show you! Its only fair though, right. I can't just tell you about a great wedding and then weeks later post the video or something, because by then the post is buried in my blog and no one sees it! Thanks for you patience... back to work I go!
Buck & Paige - July 19, 2008
Yesterday took us to "the sticks" as I have called it before... actually toward Uniontown, PA for the wedding of Paige and Buck. I was incredibly excited for this day to come, because Paige hired us from her friend's wedding last year, so I knew, not only are Paige and Buck awesome to work with, but we'd have a little reunion with our past clients, Cristy and Chris!
Paige was just amazing and her gown... wow!!! Absolutely stunning!!! The girls looked great and, of course, the groom and his men were dashing! Their ceremony took place in a quaint little Methodist church and went off without a hitch. From there we did some pictures and headed to the reception at Lakeside. Gorgeous place!
We showed their Love Story during the entrance, right before our Bride and Groom came into the room. It went great! I love the reactions of the family and friends when they watch this... and this time I was standing around the bridal party to hear their fun comments about it! We also had prepared a Memorial Montage for Paige's dad who recently passed away. This was played after the Bridal Party dance, in place of the Father Daughter Dance. This was a very touching moment and I admire Paige for her strength and Buck for his unending support for her! These two had a spectacular day, from the gown to the cake, every single detail was perfect... even the 40 minute Bridal Dance!! Congratulations Buck and Paige and have fun in Antigua!!!

John & Kristen - July 12, 2008
John and Kristen's wedding took us to Beverly Heights Church - Mt. Lebanon, PA. We were there early to capture the preparations... which I love to do. I met John for the first time upstairs in the church, before heading down to meet Kristen! They were a wonderful couple. Both of them were so calm and easily to work with!
After the "getting ready" was over, upstairs we went for the ceremony. While we were filming the preparation, we had done some Wedding Party/Family Interviews. This group did fantastic! I have never seen so many people do so well in front of a camera!
The ceremony was beautiful and afterward, we went to Mt. Washington with the photographer, Bob Carrol, briefly for some photos before heading to Le Mont for the reception. Things went great and I was shocked to see how much fun the crowed was... the dance floor was packed! One minor glitch... the power went out, but they made the best of it! You can tell by looking at these two, just how in love they are! Congratulations!

Ben & Cristy - July 5th, 2008
This Fourth of July weekend lead us to Allison Park, PA for the wedding of Ben and Cristy. We had met with these two prior to the wedding for a Love Story Interview session and I was looking forward to the wedding! The ceremony took place at Memorial Park Church, and one really cool unique thing... Cristy had a 4th grade string orchestra play a song at the ceremony!! It was amazing! Our bride was radiant, groom handsome as can be... just a beautiful couple!
After the Ceremony, I headed with photographer, Steve Craddock of Preferred Photography Inc of Rochester NY, to Oakland for some photos. Then we arrived shortly after to the reception at The Magnolia Room in Creiton, PA. Beautiful location! I had only seen it from the outside in the past, but I was pleasantly surprised! The DJ was Craig Lawrence from Red Hot Chameleon, and he was a great person to work with and was a lot of fun! We attribute it to him that we stayed until the LAST DANCE for the FIRST TIME IN DMB VIDEOGRAPHY history!
Cristy and Ben had a great time and everything went off without a hitch. The guests love the Love Story that we played and once the party got started, the dance floor was packed! Congratulations to you both and thanks for making us a part of your special day!!!

Tony & Stephanie - June 28th, 2008
Tony and Stephanie were married at the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church in Mt. Lebanon. We arrived early and it was then that I had the pleasure of reuniting with a great photographer, R. Alan Adams . He had great talent and is an awesome person to work with.
I ran into the wedding party downstairs preparing. Stephanie's dress was gorgeous... very unique and her headpiece was one that we have never seen! Beautiful! They headed upstairs for the ceremony, which went great! They had already done photos before the ceremony, so off to the reception we went.
The reception was at The Renaissance in Pittsburgh. They came in to the room and went right into some fun Greek dancing. This was a fun group! The food... the fillet... was some of the best wedding food I have ever had! YUMMY! After dinner, I popped in for the cake cutting and off I went! They had a great day... hot with some nasty storms during the reception, but still perfect! Congrats to you, Tony and Stephanie!
