Love is so sweet.

One reason I completely enjoy filming weddings is because I am always surrounded by sweet and happy LOVE. I pretty much cry at every wedding. It must be the romantic in me...guess I like that part. The wedding I just finished for Brianna and Erik was one of those. They are really one of the happiest couples ever! They are so great together. I came up with a theme for their wedding story, "Better Together" and used it as the basis for the entire edit. I think it really tells their story.

crisp fall

Fall is here and with it the pumpkin farm adventures. We found the perfect pumpkin's to bring home.
I am editing Brianna and Eric's wedding and it is just beautiful. Such a full and happy relationship. This wedding film will certainly show that love!
Back to work...

Re-frame New Orleans

Just sitting here thinking about how different Sisters, Oregon is then New Orleans, Louisiana. Here the aspens are changing colors and the temperature is dropping. There it was balmy and crowded and wild and a bit stinky. But what a beautiful place too so much history and interesting architecture. I took a million photos. Met up with a little over 50 wedding filmmakers. They were all so great and we were all so excited to share and learn and just have a laugh or too. I have returned with so many new ideas. I will be offering more Super 8 films and can't wait to have more of this. The entire week was a complete blast. I am reeling...

Prairie dress

Found this beautiful prairie dress at the Goodwill today and put it on Willa. She looked so sweet. I love Goodwill. I was there looking of an old twin reflex camera to try a technique I am interested in called through the viewfinder or TvT. I have tried all 4 thriftshops in town. There is one waiting for me somewhere out there I just know it...
Just finished a new wedding, I am really happy with this one. It feels so close to the real people and it was beautiful!

I am off to New Orleans for a 5 day conference for wedding videographers. So excited, never been before and just to get together with other crazy wedding videographers should be a hoot!
