A Couple New Teasers!

Man, it's been awhile since I've been able to update my page. Since the last update I've shot two weddings. Both were awesome in their own way and it was definitely good to get back out there and get some more wedding experience! I never thought that such a stressful thing for me could turn out to be so rewarding at the same time.

First up was Joe and Anne. This was one of the hottest days of the year and man, wearing all black almost killed me! haha They were great though, never complained once! They both have such loving families and made me feel really welcome. Anne's parents made it a point to stop me on the way out and tell me what I good job I had done. It's always nice to hear that kind of stuff.

Here is their quick teaser....

Next up is Zach and Kendra. Where do I start with these two? haha If you scroll down the page, you'll see that Jarnagin and I have worked with Zach and Kendra before and it's been fantastic each time. I met them the first time during the DVD invitation shoot. When I got the word that I would be filming their wedding, I was ecstatic. This also marked the second wedding I got to shoot with Brett Jarnagin. He and I have this chemistry down for doing weddings. If you are interested in both photography and a wedding film for your special day, I strongly urge you to hire us as a team. I use pictures in my productions which I classify as "cinematic fusion" style. I prefer to use only the highest quality pictures in my wedding films and Jarnagin definitely delivers and then some.

Without further hesitation, here is Zach and Kendra's quick teaser....

E-Shoot #2

This is the engagement shoot for Jennifer and Joe. Jennifer is hilarious and has already turned into a buddy of mine. She was just full of compliments after she saw her little video and it got her excited for her wedding day. Score! I will be filming their wedding soon so be looking for another teaser clip!

More Testing: Fluid Movement

The best part of being a skateboarder for most of my life is that it's something that I don't think I'll ever forget how to do. It's not even close to anything new, but using my skateboard to good smooth moving shots is a fantastic tool. Almost invaluable. Check it out.

Joshin' Around

Keep this short and simple. My good friend Josh came back to visit from Ohio. Josh and I are old skate rats now in our old age. Since I've started doing video/films I wanted to capture some of his skating.

Wedding Season!

It's been 7 months now since I helped film and fully edited my first wedding video (shown below). I will be filming my second wedding this weekend in Champaign/Monticello Illinois. I'm really looking forward to getting back to work! If you like what you see below and you are interested in having your wedding day filmed, feel free to contact me any time at: modern_memory_films@yahoo.com for availability, prices, a contract, or if you just have some questions.

Thanks!

(At the request of the bride and groom, the video below is now private so the casual viewer cannot view their wedding. If you are checking this blog in search for a videographer and would like to see the video, please email me at: modern_memory_films@yahoo.com and I would be happy to give you the password.)

My first wedding. Co-filmed with Kylie Daniel and edited by yours truly.

This was a memorable experience and I'm grateful to my good friend Brett Jarnagin of Jarnagin Photography for inviting me. Brett provided me with absolutely amazing pictures to work with in this video. I'm lucky........no, I'm blessed to have someone of this caliber in my corner this early.

Fresh Footy Friday's #2 - First Love

I turned 30 this year and I've been a skateboarder for 19 years now. (Wow.) This video is a tribute to everybody's first passion and love. Skateboarding was mine.

I was lucky enough to have the whole skatepark to myself this morning (6-6-09) and try some special filming and odd angles. I never have anybody to film me, so I have to get creative.

This will probably be the last footage of me skating for a long time if not ever. I don't see myself progressing and I'm not a quick healer like I used to be.

I will always be a lifer.

Thanks for watching!
