Hitting The Trail...

I had this morning off and the weather was just perfect, so I pulled myself away from the computer and headed out with my two-year old son to Bear Creek Trail in north Columbia. We made it about 2 miles, but got hung up at a bridge crossing over the creek. I guess there comes a time in every boy's life when he realizes that there's nothing more fun than throwing rocks off of a bridge into water, but I did manage to pull him away long enough to take a quick shot.

Look for a video update soon....A couple weeks ago, I packed up the camera and the guitar and headed up to a small music festival in Kahoka, MO. Got some pretty good footage of the event, so I'll post a few stills in the near future. Until then....

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the ladies at Event Solutions. I just shot my second wedding with them recently, and as always, everything went as smooth as clockwork. Natalie and her staff are a great group of wedding planners for the Mid-MO area, and can be contacted through their website, www.eventsolutionsllc.com.

Editing Break.

Thought I would pull myself away from the editing suite for a second and finally check back in with the blog. For any of you out there who have spent some time editing video, you know that the words "time-consuming" don't quite do it justice. But on the flip side, it's really a great feeling when you finally get to sit back and watch as all of the elements you've created come together into something cohesive and cool....that's the idea, anyway....Will definitely try and post some new video highlights soon. Finished Byron & Tammra's wedding video last night; the official "premiere" will be taking place this Saturday. The couple had a small outdoor ceremony a few weeks ago, so I threw the footage together in time for them to be able to show all their family and friends this weekend at their reception. Check out some pics from their ceremony in an earlier blog post. Anyway, that's the news on the Digital HQ front; more to come soon!

June Wedding Highlights

In the early stages of editing a wedding I shot two weeks ago, so thought I would take a second and add some highlight shots I pulled from the video. These guys were such a fun couple to work with and I think it really shows in the video. (Gotta love the party bus!) A definite highlight for me was a particular shot I got of the groomsmen walking down the street before the ceremony....ala Reservoir Dogs. Great idea, Jared! Also, if you've never checked out the Winston Churchill Memorial in Fulton, it's worth your time. Quite the place. Anyway, thanks for visiting, and keep checking back for more info!

Beautiful Outdoor Wedding Shoot!

Last weekend, I headed to scenic Hartsburg, MO for an outdoor wedding. When I was talking with the couple, they mentioned that I would have to "drive through a pasture" to get to their wedding site, and they definitely were not joking! Super secluded, very unique, and an absolute spectacular view. During the ceremony, the couple stood on a hillside overlooking the small town. You could literally see for miles. To Byron & Tammra, I hope the scenery was just as beautiful in Jamaica! Anyway, I pulled a couple stills out of the video to share with everybody on the blog. Enjoy the view!

Graduation Time.

Well, that time of year is upon us again....the time of year that involves tears, tassels, and of course, hearing the Green Day song "Time of Your Life" at least 4 times. Of course, I'm talking about graduation, the end of one chapter and the start of another. Definitely a momentous day in the life of a student, so we were happy to capture two ceremonies this month. (Should make for some great viewing in a couple decades!...) Anyway, here's a pic of my main second shooter helping me prepare for our graduation shoot at Christian Chapel Academy here in Columbia. Enjoy!

Checking back in...

Wanted to check back in with the blog after coming home from a conference last week in Pennsylvania at the CF Martin Guitar HQ. I'll try to post some pictures soon from the trip. For someone with an interest in vintage guitars, the museum had some great pre-war guitars that I hopefully got some good shots of. Anyway, busy video week this week with a school graduation shoot tomorrow and a wedding shoot on Saturday downtown at the Tiger Hotel. (Definitely one of Columbia's best wedding reception venues; I'm looking forward to it.) Keep checking back with the blog and the website, video and pics to come soon!
