[nggallery id=67]

 

The following letter is from a groom whose wedding I had the honor to photograph. After reading this letter, I am glad they didn’t run away to get married. Word to the wise gentlemen: It is truly a day to remember, a day that begins the glorious journey you will spend with your wife. Celebrate it! Let the world know your love for her. I wanted to post every word of the letter, because it truly tells the love that he has for his wife, and I felt it should be known. Attention all of you grooms out there! Brides forward this letter to your groom, it will make him cry.

When I asked her to marry me, that was not how I envisioned my Saturdays. I planned to veg out and watch sports or play a round of golf after a long week at work. But I ended up following [Read more…]

Multicultural Wedding and Event Professionals is an organization founded by Margaret Daniel, which helps businesses such as mine find the resources we need to help clients from many cultures. As stated as their vision ” MWEP will connect planners and vendors with clients throughout the world. We are the premier business resource for wedding and event professionals of all cultures.”

Multicultural Wedding and Event Professionals, Inc. (MWEP) seeks to enhance the careers of its members in the landscape of opportunities that is ever changing by using cutting edge technologies. In doing this we believe we will be the number one network to successfully address the needs of culturally diverse communities in the most effective manner by optimizing our resources.

Working with Margaret for many years I believe in her leadership to meet these goals, and have contributed my services to help MWEP continue to meet this goal. In my personal experience weddings and events from all cultures are seeking more than utilizing the services from their own cultures. Many desire to break away from the traditional, yet keep some of the tradition. In doing this they use services such as mine to produce photographs and videos that are different from what they see that all of their friends have, they want something different. Granted, many still want the same music style, flower arrangements and gowns, but they want to be able to have a choice, many choices. That is what MWEP will offer them, and you as a business owner.

Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph the launch party for MWEP at La Fais DO-Do, a beautiful event location in downtown Atlanta, with a Louisiana flair, as you can tell by the name. It was a great place to hold a kick off event for MWEP. There was a great turn out, and a lot was learned. MWEP is hosting another event at the same location, to offer those that could not attend another opportunity to do so. Join MWEP on August 21st, again at La Fais DO-Do 1611 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd. Atlanta, Ga. 30318. See what they have to offer that will help you grow your company. I look forward to seeing you there.

Save the Date! Let Everyone Know

Planning your wedding? Want to make sure everyone on your guest list sets aside that date, so they can be there with you and your family to celebrate? Save the date magnets and cards are an excellent way to let everyone know. Although we do create the beautifully ornate cards, I believe that the magnets work best. How many times have you gotten a card for your birthday in the mail, it may set propped on your desk for a while, but then it is [Read more…]

Ever wonder what this symbol was all about? Some of you may already be using it, because it is a very useful tool. If you are an avid reader of weblogs or ‘blogs’, then it can be a big task to have to continually visit sites such as ours to see what is new. Sometimes you may even miss what is new, because we had posted about a great photo session or product review or contest weeks ago, and you just forgot to stop by and [Read more…]

Welcoming America.org seminar at the Atlanta History Center

[singlepic id=366 w=320 h=240 float=]

Last month I had the opportunity of filming a seminar at the Atlanta History Center. The seminar was for Welcoming America.org. This is really a great organization. Helping people understand and come together to help immigrants adjust to life in America.  I am always objective about the things I film, and the organizations I see. This one I was a little skeptical about before I understood what they stood for. I thought it was going to be a little [Read more…]

I was lucky to have been a part of the video team filming the Haggai seminar this past week at the Waverly Hotel in Atlanta. I really enjoyed the message that was spoken by this organization. The team of people was so diverse, and to see Christians from all over the world coming together to spread the word. It was enlightening.

Varavon Loupe Ex-Solo DSLR Optical Viewfinder Review

By

[singlepic id=256 w=320 h=240 float=left]Another item recently added to my tool set The Varavon Loupe Ex-Solo DSLR Optical Viewfinder .

WOW! This is the Loupe. If you are shooting video with your DSLR, you must have this loupe. You simply cannot shoot without it. And those great Nikon lenses of course.

I looked at many other styles. Used the Zacuto Pro 3X on the Nikon D7000, loved it! But the Zacuto had its flaws,(eye cup always fell off, okay I could glue it on. Was very hard to remove to view the LCD screen for playback, or just switching back to photography. Was also always afraid parts were going to pop off), and cost a lot more than the Varavon. This model has everything the Zacuto has, and then some. The 3x zoom is better than most models. Most are non existent. It is the same as Zacuto. For us folks with bad eyesight, it helps. I even wear glasses and I can still use this tool very easily. The flip up viewer is perfect for reviewing what you just captured. Unlike the Zacuto.The mount is better than perfect, and easily removed if you need to convert back to photography, which is what I do.  I shoot photo and video on the fly at events, and could not ask for better.

A little more on the Zacuto. It is, hands down one of the best of its kind, but it is pricier, heavier, not as user friendly as the Varavon EX-Solo. Price is always a factor, but if you do not have the right tool, you are not doing yourself justice. For $100 less, I am glad I saved my money and got the right tool.

As an add on, be sure to throw in a Blue Star eye cushion, for the eye cup. You will be happy you did. It will save your eyes, and keep the lens from fogging during a long shoot.

Without a doubt, two thumbs up. No cons on this loupe, only I could not afford the next model up. Maybe next time.

Hope this review helps. This little loupe helped me.

Enjoy!

Zoom Hn4 Digital Voice Recorder Review

By

[singlepic id=254 w=420 h=340 float=left]Getting my gear ready for the new season, and ramping up a bit in the audio side. I have added the Zoom Hn4 to our arsenal. This is going to be a great new tool for capturing beautiful audio with our video footage. Audio is one of the key ingredients to quality video production. If you have poor or fluctuating sound quality it can damage any video production. With this particular model you can capture multiple tracks, from multiple sources at the same time. For instance, capture the ambient sound of a church wedding, while also capturing a lapel mic placed on the groom to capture their vows. Brilliant. I have had the opportunity to handle it around the studio, and I can say it is a very intuitive piece of equipment. The controls are easy to navigate, and recognize, even in the darkest of situations.

The XY configuration of the mics is very important for stereo sound, and with the capability to capture the direction of the sound from 90-120 degree, is a helpful tool. The possibilities of using this as a shotgun mic on our DSLR is very exciting.

Battery use in the field is also a concern. But with the ‘Stamina’ setting, the Zoom Hn4 shuts down a few of its functions to save on battery life. A very nice option.

As I have not had the chance to utilize it in the field, I cannot yet give it a full thumbs up. Yet I am very eager to see the results of our next shoot. I will keep you informed.

Check out their site for more information on this product. See it here Zoom Hn4

Enjoy!
