As you know, one of my assistants, Peri Baldwin married her best friend, William Strong last night at Zart 1312 in downtown Des Moines.   It has been a wedding two years in the making culminating in a wonderful day with friends and family.  Peri and Billy are the type of clients that every wedding planner dreams of....loving, sweet, gracious and kind above all.

Today's Real Wedding brings us a beautiful couple and their wedding video from Cheshire Moon Films.  We love Tom's work!  He is sweet and sassy all at the same time, capturing life in real time with real emotions.   The Ceremony vows always bring a tear and sigh to us in the office; it is as if we are there sharing in the couple's special moment.  

If you are contemplating a wedding video of your Ceremony or Reception, would like to show a montage of the two of you at your rehearsal dinner or want to see yourself in a fun film of your wedding day with your Bridal Party as the starring cast, call Tom at 515-313-5795.  He would be happy to answer all of your video filming questions.

Real Weddings | Jen and Troy

Tom, with Cheshire Moon Films sent us a beautiful wedding video that we are excited to share with you. Wedding Videography is an important part of the day.  A photograph will capture a moment in time; your videographer will capture the entire day in sight and sound.
When polled after their weddings, over 58% of couples regretted not having a wedding video taken of their day.  They stated that their day went by so fast and they missed many aspects that they would have liked to have seen.

See their Wedding Video here.

Real Weddings | Videography

By now, you know that I am a lover of wedding videography.  Of course, I love anything to do with weddings, but a video of your wedding is a lasting memory of the entire day, caught in sight and sound.  When Steve Oliver from Nepo Productions sends me one of his demos, my first thought is to post it here; Good things should always be shared between friends!

Wedding Videos | Nepo Productions - III

Here is yet another great sample video from Nepo Productions, one of Iowa's premier Videographers.   This is a great glimpse of what happens after the Ceremony.

Wedding Videos | Nepo Productions

Nepo Productions sent me some great samples of their work that I will be sharing with you over the course of the next few days.  Wedding Videography is one of the areas that many couples often forget that is so important to the overall memories of their big day. 
A Photographer will capture a moment, but your Videographer will capture the day in site and sound.

Steve is passionate about helping you see your wedding in the exquisite way that he does. These are wonderful examples of memories that you don't want to miss a minute of!  Need to get ahold of Steve?  steve@nepoproductions.com

Vendor Love | Sara Robinson Videography

We would like to welcome the newest member of the Premier Wedding Book; Sara Robinson Videography.  Sara's approach to videography is fresh and modern with a hint of traditionalism, the perfect combination for your wedding or event.  Sarah loves capturing memories and has a great time in the process.

"Sara Robinson Videography is a completely new perspective on video production. We get to know each client and produce what we call a ‘life story’. We don’t want to just come shoot your wedding ceremony.

We want to know how you met, how you fell in love, how he proposed and we want to share that with the world. The SRV Team takes pride in the fact that we don’t just do weddings. We do videos for all of life’s stories; senior portraits, babies first year; the ‘story of our life’ for elderly parents, veterans stories...and this is just the beginning."
