Gutsy move

We've done well over a hundred weddings and for the most part they are fairly typical when it comes to the traditions at the reception. First dances, cake cutting, bouquet toss, dollar dance and toasts are pretty much your staples.

Once in a rare while though, something a little different happens. Something that takes the crowd and us by complete surprise. It's usually unexpected and  always entertaining. Of course I'm talking about the elusive "Groom sings to the Bride" event.

It's always very sweet but usually the groom picks a song well out of his range. Fortunately, Erik picked a song right in his wheelhouse and I think earned major brownie points from his bride Erin. Enjoy!

A note of thanks

I have always resisted posting the many thank yous that we get from our couples after we have finished with their wedding DVD. Not because we don't appreciate them (because we certainly do) but more because I see them everywhere and I always thought couples would rather see our work than read praises from our clients.

However, when I received the below email from one of our brides from almost six years ago, I decided to post it. It's always nice when one of our past couples drops us a note to let us know how they are doing. It's even nicer when they let us know how much they appreciate the work we did for them.

Dear Chad:

I just watched the highlight video from my wedding (for the millionth time) and had to write to thank you yet again for a fabulous job! Our wedding photographer never produced a wedding album for us so all we have from our wedding day is the video shot by Brazos Video - and what a treasure it is. Not only do I have something tangible I can turn to when I want to relive that beautiful day, I have a something wonderfully done that makes me feel like I am actually at my wedding day again.
I hope your business is doing well and if you ever need a reference I would be glad to share my incredible experience with your clients. I can't tell you enough how much Brazos Video means to me and my husband.

Much Luck and All Our Best,

Todd and Katherine Knight
Married January 10, 2004

Erin & Derek

We have a pretty good track record when it comes to working with great couples. I'm not really sure why we continue to be so lucky but we do. Erin & Derek were no exception.  These guys were awesome and here are just a few highlights from their day.

Another day.... Another Demo

A good DJ can make all the difference for your reception. Sometimes the party fizzles out early and we are left with nothing to capture, which can make the edit rather challenging. Thats never the case with us though when we work with the guys at LiveWire.

It also helps to have a great couple with a lot of cool family and friends who know how to have a good time. This footage was from Bless & David's wedding that we did this year and packaged up as a demo for LiveWire. Make sure you check them out at www.livewirepro.com

Something Different

We get the chance to work with a lot of different photographers and one of our favorites is Michael Kellett. Michael asked us recently to update his demo disc and so we did. The video is below and make sure you check out michael on the web at www.yourday-yourway.com

Lindsay & Tom

We had a great time with Lindsay & Tom. It was a really full day and I hope to post some more from their wedding here soon.

Dorothy Lackey was the coordinator for the event and the photography was done by our good buddy Michael Kellett. 

Here are the highlights from the day.
