Last Sunday’s Bridal Expo at Silver Rails Event center in La Plata, MO was a success. I have drawn a winner from the pool of names who signed up, and will contact the winning couple today. In addition to a gift basket of goodies, the couple will receive 10% off any wedding videography package I offer.
Wedding packages range in comprehensiveness from a very basic, ceremony only coverage, to full-day coverage of your ceremony, reception, and other events of the day. The more inclusive packages feature add-on options such as The Bride Getting Ready Montage, and The Love Story Interview.
If you are planning a wedding in the Kirksville or surrounding area, contact The Video Scribe for wedding videography that uniquely and creatively captures your special day.
I will be participating in my first wedding/bridal expo on February 24th. The event is for wedding vendors in the Kirksville and surrounding area and will be held in the brand new convention center, Silver Rails, in LaPlata. Stop by my booth for a chance to win booth prizes.
Seniors in the Kirksville and surrounding area, now is the time to book your senior video package. Take senior portraits to the next level. You (and your friends?) will star in a video shoot for the “music video” part of your package. Also included are local shots of you at your location choices and a “growing up” photo montage, which can include your photos and a few of your old “home movie” clips. A popular idea is to have a group of friends get together for the shoot. Book the package that is right for you.

I had to turn work down this week. No, I am not so busy that I am turning customers away, I am simply “invited” to join the judge, lawyers, and other potential jurors next week for the jury selection process and trial. Ahhh, that wonderful civic “privilege” known as jury duty.
The same day I received my “invitation”, I also had a request to videotape a retirement and roast party. There is the chance I will not be chosen to serve on the jury, but if I am chosen, I would likely not be able to make it to the party in time. If I am not chosen, I won’t know that until Tuesday and the party is Friday. That would not be enough time to hire someone else to videotape, so I had to let this one go.
Observation: 1.an act or instance of noticing or perceiving.
I love Autumn; it is my favorite season. This week, the weather is perfectly cool and the trees are in full Autumn regalia. I long to go for a hike in the woods, but… I have videos to edit here at home. Therefore, I continue to hole up in my home office, living on cold pizza and water from the bathroom tap (it is closer to my office). Staying indoors is just one of the abnegations I have made (for now?) to become a freelance videographer.
Not that this denial of outdoor pleasures is completely without balance. I am simply engaged in what is, for now a higher, more pressing claim. Video production is one of my passions too. Yes, I am holed up in a small room at home, but I am truly doing something I love. How many people can say that? When my eye wanders away from the computer monitor toward the window, I remind myself that I am turning something I love into a gainful (hopefully) venture.
Videography is something in which I will always be engaged, even if I don’t make money doing it. For now though, I am trying to make a business of it, so I am willing to sacrifice my time spent outdoors to only include things like mowing the leaves and short walks with the dog - in town.
It is Autumn in Kirksville, MO and the leaves will be turning soon. That means the time is near for shooting senior videos. Once the leaves are just right, I will take a break from editing wedding video and go to Forest Lake at 1000 Hills State Park for some outdoor shooting of my seniors.
This year, I have three seniors who will be making senior videos. The shoot at 1000 Hills is just one component of their senior video.
Editing: I started editing Ken and Shirley’s 50th wedding anniversary video Saturday. Their party was last week, in Memphis, MO. I plan to incorporate a few elements from their anniversary slide show into this video. I hope to be finished before the end of September, as this is now a “rush” request.
Capturing to computer: I am still capturing footage for Walt and Dawn’s wedding video. It would have been in editing by now, had I not had to put a rush on the Elliott Anniversary project, due to health reasons.
Why hire a videographer to capture your special event?
Memories fade. Videos linger.
Your family heritage is important. Video tells a story pictures can’t. When you hire an event videographer, you invest in your cherished memories. The result is a multimedia presentation rich in the sights and sounds of your special event, one which you will pass on with pride to your children’s children, knowing it will last a century.
I do wedding and other event videography as well as slide shows in Kirksville and the surrounding area. Slide shows are the perfect addition for viewing at your special event, such as wedding reception, anniversary, or family reunion. In addition, I can archive your older photographs or home movies. Sometimes, home video is “boring” to watch, why not let me edit some of the highlights into a family DVD production you will be proud of?
I watched a little footage taken at Walt and Dawn’s wedding yesterday with the unmanned camera. When her father gave the bride away, you can see him but not the bride (the groom was in the line of sight). When everyone is on stage, the action is a little too far to the right. It is going to be difficult to edit any cutaways into this wedding. I hope I have enough B-roll footage to help out. It was a nice wedding and the reception locale, Jackson Stables, was perfect.
