Photography & Video

Im excited to say we've booked our wedding photographer & videographer. I was so excited to finally meet the man behind the gorgeous wedding film I saw at the Oheka Wedding Expo in 2007. Yes 2007. I have been covetting his work and hoping to one day have a video production as glamorous as the one I saw since BEFORE I was ever engaged.

The videographer or should i say film producer...because that is what he does!.... Is David from DMS Productions. He says, "they arent videos, they're films!" How fancy! And we all know I like fancy, haha.  He has been awarded a ton of film, production & editing awards. And recently awarded The WEVA Creative Excellence Award; which is the most prestigious award worldwide for wedding videography.  DMS was honored with more international awards than any other video production company in the United States. Impressive huh? Yep. And he films Platinum Weddings, the show on WeTv.

Our Big Day is going to be filmed in High Def, with lots of different cameras & equipment, you're all going to be Movie Stars! haha You can check out examples of his recent works by clicking: DMS Video Production Clips. David is extremely talented and Im really looking forward to seeing the final product. A typical piece by DMS runs aprox 45 mins and wont be completed for almost 3 months after the event. Perfection takes time people! Haha


The photographer we chose is Rocco Chilelli of Camelot Studios. He works very closely with David on many events so it made sense to go with him. They have a great reputation together. The style we asked for is traditional mixed with candid/artistic shots. I really want it to look like a photo journal of the days events and highlight the small details which may get overlooked by Mike & I during the excitment of our wedding day. Rocco's previous works really showcase how he is able to write a story of the day through pictures. You can check him out at Camelot Studios.

It was so important for me to pick artists I thought would really capture our special day in a way that would be classy and honored forever. With all the stuff that will be going on, its going to feel like a whirlwind for Mike & I. I cant wait to celebrate with all our family & friends on that day and then sit in front of the TV and force all of those family & friends to watch the film & slide shows over and over and over again! Who's excited!?! Lets not all jump up at once! LoL Yea...I know, but at least give into me just once.
