Michael Lucarelli at the Cathedral of the Madeleine

Michael Lucarelli is the most talented guitarist that I know and in a setting like the Cathedral of the Madeleine his music is truly amazing.

Scott + Becky Preshoot

Scott & Becky came up from Las Vegas for a preshoot since I'm not available on their wedding day. I love, love, love preshoots. You probably noticed that I post a lot of these and it's because we can take the time to really have some fun and get some great shots.

Shot with the most fabulous www.rebekahwestover.com. Check out the photos on her blog.

Butchart Gardens, Vancouver Island, BC

An afternoon with the family at Butchart Gardens. Such a beautiful place!

Didn't bring my toys (Glidecam, Glidetrack, etc.) so I shot all hand held on the Canon 5D MarkII.

"Battle of the Videographers - Editing Styles" Winner 2009

 

Last month in Orlando I competed in an international "Battle of the Videographers" involving individuals from around the globe. We were all given the same footage provided by the talented Chris McClain of www.cmcclainproductions.com and then it was up to each individual or company to craft an edited piece that was judged by filmmakers attending the WEVA conference. All the videos that were submitted were absolutely stunning but I was fortunate enough to take home the trophy.

Event DV Magazine had this to say:

"The second memorable session was the Battle of the Editors, in which David Perry of David Perry Films made stunning use of submitted footage shot outside at the Salt Lake City LDS temple wedding to fashion a seamless and moving clip that richly deserved the award."

I'll be posting a link to a website that shows all the videos that were submitted as soon as it is up.

MPV - Merited Professional Videographer

Last week I was accredited as one of the recipients of the MPV award from WEVA International. Currently there are less than twenty individuals world-wide who have received this honor.

As stated on WEVA's website: "The Wedding and Event Videographers Association International (WEVA) Merited Professional Videographer program is a way to recognize the professional wedding and event videographer who is uniquely dedicated to his or her craft, and to the success of a vital and growing creative service industry."

Accreditation comes from taking a written test and submitting actual client's videos to multiple judges. Only videos that are considered "Master Level" pass the rigorous testing process.

Although you might not know the ins and outs of video production, you can trust the evaluation and accreditation by WEVA International. Be sure and hire a professional who is an MPV to ensure you are trusting your wedding to the very best.
