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.
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.

I went to the wedding rehearsal for the “short-notice” wedding this evening. I am still dreading the “unmanned camera” monster. I tried several different spots to try to get the most bang-for-the-buck view, but nothing was good. I finally settled on a position with the hopes that at least a few shots will be OK. I feel more pressure than usual to do well with the camera I will have control of in the back. I am glad for this experience though, it reminded me that not everyone wants to have a camera crew on the stage during their wedding - it is a personal choice. It is good to be “stretched” into solving problems creatively. If I can edit this into something the couple will enjoy watching, I will have succeeded.
I registered the name of my business, The Video Scribe, with the Secretary of State last evening. I am registered as a “sole proprietorship”. I still need to go to City Hall for a business license. I am planning to go next week when I have some days off.
There are many steps involved in starting a new business. Mine is one of the easier ones to start because it is of the “sole proprietor” variety. Beyond that, there is still the constant research about video cameras, microphones, pricing, websites and event videography in general.
I am going to shoot a (two-camera) wedding this Saturday. It was short notice and the bride and groom don’t want anyone on the stage - just an unmanned camera. I will be at the back of the church with the other camera. This should be interesting. I don’t know if they want any editing or not.
I was also asked to do a slide show for a dear couple’s 25th wedding anniversary. I am happy about this one and can’t wait to get started. I hope business will always be this… well, busy!
Today I am doing apprentice duties with Corey and Sondra. They are really nice people. I am thankful they are letting me tag along. We are shooting the wedding of K.T. She is the daughter of W.T. They are a respected family in my hometown. The father of the bride is a lawyer.
I have already learned a few new tricks and witnessed a “crisis”. The camera would not play back the tape correctly, so Corey wasn’t able to tell for sure if everything at the bride’s house was recorded OK. He is home now checking that. Equipment failure. One of the headaches of the business.
We are on a lunch break now and will go back to the church around 1:30. The wedding isn’t until 4pm.
