As you watch the below segment from Mary and Matt’s video one of the first things that may come to mind through a certain section is the movie Jerry Maguire.

If you have watched many clips on our blog you have no doubt seen that we pay careful attention to music and do our best to make the music underneath the video support the words you hear and the visuals you see and hear along with that music. We pick out much of the music purely based on the mood of the moment being shown on screen, however we also ask each couple for musical preferences and look to utilize those in any way possible.

With our movie style videos we send out questionnaires to the bride and groom asking for a ton of information related to their personal preferences and for personal details about their wedding. As I sarted on Mary and Matt’s edit and was reviewing their questionnairre, I noticed that they had made notes twice on it about how much they loved the song Secret Garden which was ultimately made famous in the movie Jerry McGuire. As I storyboarded their video I looked at every single moment of their wedding to see how I could carefully craft this song into their video since it was made so evident that it was special to them.

I could not be more happy with the way it came out!!

Congratulations again Mary and Matt!!

The below thumbnail for the video was taken by our good friends Clark and Becki Berry of Clark Berry Photography.

Below is the full length movie portion of Amy and Brandon’s wedding video.

In addition to the movie, they also received a disc with a ton of other content on it including a full documentary “as it happened” edit on the ceremony.

We actually ended up working with Amy and Brandon along with Ryan and Anita Goodman with Goodman Photography. Ryan and Anita used to offer photo/video package deals and Amy and Brandon chose a package with two photographers, so Ryan and Anita asked Marianna and myself to complete the video portion of their package.

It was a beautiful day and was the first time that we had been to a wedding at the Charles Ezra Daniel Memorial Chapel which is located on the campus of Furman University. Not only is the chapel beautiful but the grounds of the university are just as stunning and we had fun capturing all those details.

Congratulations again Amy and Brandon!!!

Below is a segment from Lindsey and Jason’s wedding movie.

From what we have seen, each wedding always seems to have at least one thing that goes wrong. Weather it is a tux that doesn’t fit someone, a dress needs some hemming, or a floral arrangement didn’t show at the church; there is always that one thing. On my and Marianna’s wedding day, the problem we had was pretty major.  We did not have our marriage licence due to me losing my wallet a few days prior to trying to obtain the license. Lindsey and Jason had a “problem” on their wedding day that I would also consider pretty major as it dealt with their rings. But despite having a major issue to deal with and think about they pushed through and had a very lighthearted attitude about the whole situation and it was an awesome day.

I’m not going to give away any spoilers as to what the issue was, but make sure to watch their wedding movie segment and you will find out exactly what happened!!

Congratulations again Lindsey and Jason.

Here is a 22 minute segment from the Lauren and Scott’s movie.

If you’re a frequent visitor, you know that we are constantly looking for creative ways to blend moments form the coverage we have on the wedding day. Doing this allows us to maximize the emotional pull of each moment in everyone’s wedding movie.

As we were filming on the wedding day with Lauren and Scott, it was immediately evident that Lauren and her Dad had a special bond. As we began editing their movie and developing the storyline we started cross comparing the Father Daughter Dance song “I Loved Her First” and the toast that Lauren’s dad gave at the reception. After realizing extreme similarities we decided to blend those two moments together. Not until we actually had it edited down did we realize the full impact that this blending actually had. The music volume diminishes as Lauren’s dad’s toast starts, but if you carefully listen to the words in the song, and the words that her dad is saying, it will give you chills to see and hear how close they match up.

Congratulations again Lauren and Scott!!!

Sara and Andrew were married on December 19th in Charleston, South Carolina. The ceremony was held at Saint Luke’s Chapel which is on the campus of MUSC. Nan, the Mother of the Bride, and other family members worked feverishly on the decorations at the chapel and I must say they did a fantastic job as everything looked wonderful.

A reception followed at the Francis Marion where everyone had an awesome time until Sara and Andrew departed to their room around 10:30.

Sara and Andrew chose Brooke Turner of Brooke Turner Photography as their wedding photographer and we always enjoy working with her. You can see some of the awesome photos she took at the wedding by CLICKING HERE.

Congratulations Sara and Andrew!!

Nicole Tese and Kent Gladden were married on 11.21.09 at Incarnation Lutheran Church off of Devine street in Columbia, SC. A reception followed at the beautiful 701 Whaley.

Nicole and Kent were a blast to work with.

They had Clark Berry Photography as their wedding day photographer and chose to have us tag along to the engagement session that Clark does before the wedding. You can see some of the footage we captured at the session in the trailer. Nicole wanted some unique stuff at night and we ended up shooting until 10:30 PM that night. It was a lot of fun.
You can see some of Nicole and Kent’s wedding day images that Clark and Becki took by visiting THIS PAGE.

Nicole and Kent also chose to have Melanie Murphy with By invitation Only do all of the coordinating for her wedding. As is normal for Melanie and her team, she made sure that every little detail was absolutely perfect and everything looked awesome.

Congratulations Nicole and Kent.

Earlier this year we made some extreme business changes. The first change was to move of all of our movie style wedding videos to the Player Wedding Films business name. The second change was to create a different style wedding video that is more simple to produce and cheaper than our movie offerings, all while still retaining a highly polished feel that we have come to be known for. This new style is called our documentary style.

One of the packages we offer with our Documentary style (Absolute Productions and Media) is called our “Close to a Movie Package” and includes a trailer just like the ones included in all of our Player Wedding Films packages.

Kim and Rick chose our Close To a Movie package and the trailer we produced for them is listed below.

They were married on October 25th with a beautiful ceremony held on the waterfall lawn at Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa. The reception was also held at Brasstown at the Sunset Pavilion and the sunset over the mountains was absolutely stunning. Their DJ was Andrew with Music Masters and he did a fantastic job leading the party until around 11:00 when Kim and Rick departed by golf cart.

AFTER YOU WATCH THE TRAILER MAKE SURE TO CLICK HERE TO SEE SOME SEGMENTS FROM THEIR VIDEO.

On a personal note… We stayed at the resort since it was around 4 hours from our house. It is a super nice place and if you are ever looking for an exquisite mountain themed getaway I would highly recommend checking out their facilities!! For weddings they also have 3 or 4 various locations on the property that make for awesome wedding/reception backdrops.

We have been working hard on Jenn and Scott’s wedding movie lately.

When I started I honestly had forgotten how much footage we had to go through, around 10 solid hours of footage from the wedding day and around an hour and a half of footage from their Post wedding interview session.. WHEEEHHHH.

Even though tiring and complex its always fun putting together a movie with a great deal of footage as it really opens up some room for additional creativity.

Here are two segments from Jenn and Scott’s wedding movie.
