Last week, several of Seattle’s hottest wedding florists designed some completely unique floral arrangements and bridal bouquets for the Fall 2009 issue of Seattle Bride Magazine. Edit 1 Media was there to capture some Behind The Scenes video during the photography shoot so you can get a sneak peek! Romantic yet urban and rustic describe both the flowers and the super cool SoDo location! A beautiful model, gorgeous natural light and some decadent floral artistry equals a recipe for a great video!

So make sure you get your copy of the Seattle Bride Magazine Fall issue to see all the amazing arrangements close up!

When we walked into the W Hotel to film Mica & Matt’s wedding, you could instantly feel how much their friends and family loved them. This video is such great evidence of that and I love how it all flows together. Mica was such a chic bride and when Matt looks at her you can just feel how much he loves and adores her. They have such great synergy. I hope you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed shooting and editing it!

Chris and I did this gorgeous Same Day Edit for Marni & Doug’s wedding at the Harbor Club in downtown Seattle yesterday. Unfortunately we had some technical difficulties at the time since we were shooting and editing on-site in High Definition, so we had to use an alternative method for playing back the video. That lead to another problem, but this has a happy ending since Michael Benson from the aptly named Michael Benson Band came to our rescue when he had the right adapter that we needed! The guests didn’t even notice the behind the scenes technical drama and there was a standing ovation with plenty of tears in people’s eyes when the video was completed!

We will be adding in some reception footage in the next few days and updating this post with the new video, so be sure to check back again!

Mike Rohrbach was the officiant today and we have a long history with him from way back when Matthew (our second son) was finishing up his second battle with cancer when he was 3-1/2 years old. Such a small world! Mike did an incredible job and I highly recommend him as a wedding officiant! He is a great man with a big heart and a great smile!

We haven’t worked with photographer John Nolte since 2002!! Where does the time go?? Anyway, it was fun to catch up with him and his wife/photography partner, Barb. They are a super nice couple! Hopefully we’ll have the pleasure of working with them more often in the future.

To Marni & Doug — thank you for asking us to capture your wedding day! We had a great time with you and your wedding party and I know you will treasure your video for many years to come!

This article is pretty basic, but sometimes people forget to ask basic questions when hiring a videographer and wind up with an end product that isn’t what they expected.

Well, we are back from shooting Bessie & Alvin’s wedding in Honolulu and taking some time off with the family to relax. We have never spent much time together as a family in Hawaii (which is where I grew up) so it was a great experience to take all three boys and spend time with my parents and siblings and Chris’ Dad (they all still live there). We did tons of boogie boarding and beach bumming and now we are refreshed and ready to take on the world again!

The last few months have been a complete blur with a ton of travel for corporate shoots (7 cities in 3 weeks during February!!) with every spare second dedicated to editing weddings and running the business. I’m proud to say we are NOT experiencing the recession at all and in fact are thriving and may need to hire more staff!

Anyway, the real reason for this post is to show off Chris’ new hobby.

I wish I could say we videotaped a lot of stuff, but the truth is we didn’t. We were just having fun being together. Maybe on our next trip we’ll be better about that! Anyway, got to get back to editing….I have TONS of stuff to work on and a wedding this weekend!
