Patrick and Rebecca - May 29, 2011

I know that I have some catching up to do on my blog, but I wanted to start this year on the right track as far as blogging. So, I'll do my catching up in between this current season's weddings!

Patrick and Rebecca were married on Memorial Weekend at the Foxburg Inn, along the Allegheny River. I have to say this venue was awesome and I can't wait to go back to enjoy the rest they have to offer. I had a great time working with this couple and the season couldn't have started any better! Thanks for everything and best wishes!

Here is their pre-ceremony montage from their video... enjoy!

Truly honored...

DMB Videography was just recently notified that we are one of the recipients of the "Brides Choice Award 2010" from WeddingWire.com! This award recognizes the top 5 percent of local wedding professionals from the WeddingWire Network who demonstrate excellence in quality, service and professionalism. Wow.... really!?  We are in the top 5% of some AMAZING wedding professionals in the Pittsburgh area and are honored to receive such a award!

I would like to thank all of our past, present and future couples, and their families, as well as our awesome colleagues for everything you have done to help us to get to this point.  Its truly humbling to me to think of where we started... with a dinky little consumer camera... to where we are now and we could have never done it without all of you!  And a HUGE thank you to my assistants, Lenny and Katy, because without you and your never ending support, DMB Videography couldn't have possibly accomplished all we have... together.

More to come on this award, but I wanted to share the excitement with you all!  Many blessings and thanks to you!

Signing off from what was...

an AWESOME YEAR for DMB Videography. We can't thank our clients this past year enough for all of the wonderful experiences you have given us. New places to work, many new faces to greet, and the opportunity to work with many new wedding professionals we call our colleagues and in many cases friends.

I usually say I am sad to see a year end - I am one of those sappy people that cry when the ball drops for some unforeseen reason - but for strangely, this year I am filled with hope and excitement for 2010. Many people are reflecting on the negative things that happened this year and in this decade (and yes, there has been plenty of negatives), but for me, I just think 2010 is going to be a great year!

Thank you again to our past clients and many many MANY thanks to our colleagues that work along side us and help us in many different aspects of our job. We look forward to the brides and grooms and other clients that we will have the opportunity to work with in 2010 and wish all of you a very happy and safe NEW YEAR!

Signing off to spend time with family and friends as we ring in 2010!!!!
(got any awesome resolutions you want to share with us!?? I'm trying to come up with something I'll actually stick to!)

Grant and Bethany - October 17th, 2009

The wedding of Grant and Bethany was absolutely beautiful. These two were awesome to work with and if there was an award for being easy going, these two won it! Seriously, we don't have many "bridezillas", but when it comes to being relaxed on the big day - Grant and Bethany take the prize!

They were married at St. Sylvester's Church and the reception was at South Hills Country Club. We got to work with Dino Bovo, a long time friend and great photographer. Bethany was absolutely stunning, both beautiful inside and out!

Here is the Reception Highlight from their Highlight DVD. Congratulations to you both and thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!

David and Meghan - October 10th, 2009

David and Meghan were married at the gorgeous Heinz Chapel on a beautiful day in fall. The temperatures were a bit brisk, but its okay, its fall in Pittsburgh! I had the honor of working with Autumn from Skysight Photography... and what a great time I had!

After the ceremony and photo session, we headed over to the Circuit Center on the South Side, where I ran (yes, ran, traffic was nuts and I was running behind) in to say hello to a DJ friend, Eric Schiemer from Schiemer Entertainment. The evening went off without a hitch and the day was amazing. Congrats to my "Cinderella" bride and groom. (Every once in a while, I give my brides and grooms titles - and this one is so fitting... every hair was perfectly in place, her gown was stunning and after they bustled her dress, wow, she just looked like Cinderella straight out of the movie. By far my favorite bustle of the year)

Here is their pre ceremony montage:

Ryan and Brittany - October 3rd, 2009

The wedding of Brittany and Ryan was one that I was looking forward to for almost a year! They were referred to us by Brittany's cousin Kaitlin, who was married to Shawn in an absolutely beautiful wedding last June.

Ryan and Brittany were married at St. Peter Parish and the reception was held at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriot. We met Brittany at the hotel to film the girls preparing for the big day, and then off to the ceremony we went.

Things were going great and Katy and I were having an excellent day... until we arrived at the ceremony and realized that I had left the tripods in our other car almost an hour away. After a brief panic attack, I decided to have a chat with our photographer friends, Paul and Cyndy Meyer. Paul came to my rescue, allowing me to use their monopod, while Katy improvised using the front pew railing as a stabilizer. I started with the monopod, and when Cyndy looked over and saw my slight fatigue (LOL), she quickly offered up her tripod for the remainder of the ceremony. I can't thank them enough for their generosity and it make me smile to know that photographers and videographers can not only work happily together, but also have each others back when necessary.

Anyway, so off to the photo session and reception we went. Their day was absolutely amazing and I am so happy to be a part of it. Congratulations Ryan and Brittany and we wish you all the best!

Their photo montage, played at the reception:

WOW... talk about an aweome engagement...

I frequently visit the Bakerella.com blog for awesome ideas (not that I can seriously pull these ideas off... but I have made the Cake Pops successfully). Anyway, today after the Steeler Game, I decided to peak and see if there were any updates. Check this out folks... and stick with it till the end!

Wedding Cake Pops

My guess is... Mel is a frequent reader of this blog (and/or close friend)... what an awesome engagement story... I just hope she posts an update complete with pics!

Just thought I'd share... it made me smile!
