Why Have a Video When You Can Have a Film?
We are excited to announce and launch our new branding! We are still Life Stage, we just felt we wanted to get away from the word “video” so we could properly advertise what it is we provide. Yes, we provide “wedding videos”. But we’d like to argue they are a little bit different than a...

Happy Mother’s Day, to the Moms in Our Lives
As videographers, its a pretty safe bet that we would have cameras rolling throughout pregnancy/birth/development of our new daughter, Penelope. As a Mother’s Day gift to Melissa, I put together would we like to call a “Baby Story” of sorts, chronicling the last year of our lives as it changed drastically with the addition of...
Party on the Moon!
We posted Adeline & Paul’s Wedding Highlights a few days ago, but we really felt bad not inviting everyone else into the party.

Videography for Everyone
We know and understand that for some reason video is not high on everyone’s budget list. Our feelings aren’t necessarily hurt, because our “Signature” packages cater to a specific style of video and type of couple, and those people know it and want us! But the thing is, is that we want EVERYONE to enjoy...
Shout! Another Fun Party…
Here is another glimpse into Katie and Blake’s wedding day. I love it when brides, grooms, and all their guests let loose and have a real dance party! It makes for great video too. “Shout” is an all time classic at receptions, and to me, it never gets old because everyone always loves it and...
Katie Getting Ready
Not a lot of brides understand the value of having the time before your ceremony filmed.

Another Entertaining Reception!
Amanda & Read definitely did their part in getting the guests going and dancing well into the night. After a while though, the dancing seemed to get more and more entertaining. Amanda requested “Pop” by N’Sync to use somewhere in her video. I had never editing anything to N’Sync, nor had I ever planned to,...
Philmont Rocks!
You might have remembered a few months ago me raving about the band “Philmont”. Well, they are at it again! My brother is the drummer in this band from Charlotte, NC. I am extremely proud of him and grateful that listening to his drums for 15 years has paid off. They were recently signed to...
