The Gaydos' wedding could not have taken place on a better day. The weather was gorgeous, the bride even more beautiful, and everyone was filled with enthusiasm. I was more than excited to film this wedding as I have known Holly's family ever since Holly was a little girl. To capture one of the most important moments in Holly's life on video forever was an incredible honor.
The Powell Productions team prepared the night before the Gaydos' wedding at their wedding rehearsal. We scoped out the best locations for our cameras to capture the most ideal shots while remaining out of the way. That is something very important to me- that our videographers stay in the background while getting the best shots possible. Our hard work paid off, because on the actual wedding day, we were able to quickly set up, perform our equipment tests, and get the cameras rolling with no problems.
Prior to the actual wedding ceremony, I headed to Holly's home, at her request, to film her getting ready with her bridesmaids. I was happy that Holly requested this because I got some excellent clips of Holly getting her hair done, getting her wedding gown on, and her mother putting her jewelry on. My other videographers were sent to film the groom and his groomsmen getting ready. Then we were off to the church to record the main event.
We filmed the entire wedding ceremony from two different angles- the front of the church to capture everyone coming down the aisle- and from the back of the church to capture the back of Holly's wedding gown and everyone in front of the altar. The reception was filmed at the Musket Ridge Golf Club. We shot the reception from two different angles as well. All in all, we all had a very eventful evening, and I was pleased with the footage we were able to capture. After the wedding I reviewed the footage and made a list of my favorite shots and shots I want to make sure to capture at future weddings. I am always thinking of new ways to shoot footage and scenes I want to make sure to get on film.
For Holly's wedding montage I took several different audio clips from the pastor's message and pieced them together with classical music playing in the background to the most memorable wedding clips. I have a short sample of a montage on our Powell Productions Website that features some wedding clips of Holly and Tim with their wedding vows playing in the background. After Holly viewed her full montage and the small montage clip on our website, she called me very excited and pleased. Holly's mother, June, called me in tears she was so happy. This made my night for sure!
