Love in the sweet spring air {Carrie & Stasia engaged}

May 9, 2011 Cinematography, Engagements, Weddings

We all know the feeling and have had the same experience, there are simply people we meet throughout life that we know that we can’t live without. For Carrie & Stasia, this unmistakable connective emotion is what drew them together and has grown into a pure & honest love for one another. In the time that we got to spend with this beautiful couple, it was so clear that the love they shared for each other was something truly special. I have no doubt that their wedding celebration later this year at the beautiful Winslow Estate will be everything these two deserve and are dreaming for.

P.S. :: Carrie & Stasia shared this new site with us, Recycled Bride. Be sure to have a look if your still searching for your perfect dress.

Sweet Teeth & Warm Fuzzies

May 5, 2011 Cinematography, Families, Personal, Seniors, Weddings

We have sweet teeth. Let it be known. At any given time there may be a few different kinds of ice cream in the studio freezer, a container of fresh baked brownies, bars or cookies and there’s definitely chocolate somewhere in the studio in some form or another.

Our clients often become like family to us. We are surrounded by their photos every day and many times we even chat with them more than we do our own families. This past week we have been showered with Warn Fuzzies from a few of our clients and I just wanted to take a minute and thank each of you, sincerely. Not because of the goodies and gifts you brought or sent but because of your generosity, thoughtfulness and appreciation of what we do and who we are. We truly value the opportunity we have or have had to work with you. We look forward to being a part of and documenting the next chapter of your lives.

If you ever got to Chicago please please PLEASE carve out 20 minutes to stand in line for the worlds best most sweet buttery caramel corn at Garrett Popcorn. And if your a sweet and salty kind of person mix it up with the greatest messiest cheesiest popcorn there is! If you’re out and about and care to brave Construction Avenue (aka Wisconsin Avenue) in Appleton please swing in to the charming little house of Wilmars Chocolates and treat yourself to something fabulous!

Wisconsin Wedding Cinematography, {Hollywood Style}

February 23, 2011 Cinematography, Weddings

It has been just over a year since Kim and I (Jason) added cinematography to our offerings as a way to better tell your stories. We’ve been blown away from the responses we’ve received and I am looking forward to showing you some awesome new concepts we’ll be introducing this year. Preserving memories has always been important to us personally and as artists. We have a big memory box at home that is almost full! It is full of vacation memories and everyday excitement. Last Valentines Day our daughter and I created a surprise for Kim while we were down in Savannah and to this day I can watch that video over and over (as can our daughter). Life goes by so quickly and photography is great in freezing a moment in time, but cinematography is alive and able to capture motion and sound. I hope you are able to take time to create lasting memories with your friends and family. Enjoy a peek at Joelle and John’s amazing wedding day movie to see what I’m talking about.

Happy Memories,
Jason

P.S. I’m attending the Canon Filmmakers Live conference next month to meet and learn from some amazing cinematographers!
