I have to admit, wedding cinema wasn’t my first passion. When we started this business, we were living in Mexico as missionaries. We knew we had to return home soon, and wanted some way to make a global impact from home. We started our video business,...

We were thrilled to put our creative minds together with the Events Coordinator and General Manager at the Hilton to produce this featured promo video for web and TV use to promote all the great services and awesome location for the hotel.

We are excited for many reasons lately! First, because Melissa gave birth to a beautiful little girl last Friday, and she is very healthy. But also, because we are overhauling our blog and introducing a new website design very soon! I...
Well, we aren’t shooting a wedding this week. But I am filming down here in Traveler’s Rest, SC this week for a children’s camp from a church in Charlotte. It’s a good break from the norm. Although its action packed and there is always something to film, I actually enjoy the break and come back...
Millie Holloman is a nationally renown photographer for weddings. Highly respected, she is innovative and on the cutting edge of marketing herself to others. She contacted us to produce a video to show potential clients on the importance of engagement shoots, and why she is different in style from the rest. Definitely give her studio...
Melissa Davis is an actress! Yes, it’s true. We took advantage of our available weekends before we get slammed. We both were so excited to be a part of PC3 ’s new video bump for our April series. It’s called “The Pursuit”. It uses the imagery of a car chase scene to highlight the first...
We had a very tough time deciding the winner of our “Love Story” contest. We learned that it’s not fun being the decision makers when there were so many creative stories. To name a few; reenacting the first meal together, dog bringing the ring, carving the proposal in a tree, roses and a letter inside...

We quickly learned that to run a successful business, it takes enough knowledge in accounting, marketing, time management, and sales to be dangerous. And just like with any stage in life (no...
There actually is a “season” for weddings. We typically call it April-October. Of course there are weddings in the winter months, but its not the time for us to be filming every weekend of the month. With that said, we wanted to share with our faithful blog readers some more of our side projects. I...
Although our main focus is wedding videography, our passion is producing good quality video, whether it be for families, businesses or organizations.

Carmel Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC is where my family attended church growing up....
