Amy & Karson - (utah wedding video)

Amy & Karson are two of the coolest people ever.  I could hang out with them every day.  It's always fun to shoot weddings when you've already done several for the family.  We had already built up a friendship with the whole family which started 4 1/2 years ago when Kati & Jon got married.  they have referred so many people to us since then, we can't thank them enough!!  The highlight of the night was when Karson sang a song that he wrote to Amy while playing the guitar.  It was very touching.  And then Amy followed it up with her own rendition of a popular Marvin Gaye song  : )  It was great!! So, here is the wedding video/film, whatever you want to call it.  Enjoy.

CYNTHIA & BLAIR – CATHEDRAL OF THE MADELEINE WEDDING HIGHLIGHT FILM

Cynthia & Blairs Cathedral of the Madeleine Wedding Highlight Film was perfect from the beginning. Right as the bell was rung to start the ceremony, I heard Blair say, “Is this it?” You could hear the excitement and anticipation in his voice and it showed the rest of the day. We did a few shots of the family and friends right after the ceremony by the alter and then a few more of just the two of them outside the Cathedral before heading to Wadley Farms reception center in Lindon. These two families were so much fun to be with all day. As they introduced the bride and groom to start the dinner/reception, Cynthia & Blair did their first dance and it was great. It was not like my own first dance where we just hugged each other and slowly spun in a circle while the music played. They obviously had practiced and choreographed their dance, much to the delight of their family and friends. When they finished, their family and friends had a flash mob song and dance for them. It was great!! Then Blair sang a very touching rendition of the song “Heaven”, for Cynthia while playing the acoustic guitar. Near the end of the dinner, Cynthia’s sister played a power point on our large screen projector system that she had put together for Cynthia & Blair. I do not want to know how much time she put into it, it was perfect!! And then the dancing began and it was non stop the rest of the night until they left. As i’ve seen so many times, the best way to end the night is to leave in one of Something Vintage, Something Blue’s cars. Talk about class!! Seeing the smile on their faces as they ran past all of their guests and then got into this classic vintage car was a perfect ending to a perfect day. And then as they drove away, that iconic horn from that classic car sealed the night forever. To have captured another wedding like this just makes me thankful for the career path I have chosen. To be able to be with people as amazing as Cynthia & Blair on their wedding day and to film it, capture it, and then create an amazing wedding video/film for them to cherish for the rest of their lives…. yea, I love my job.

MEGAN & DILLON – LAKE POWELL WEDDING HIGHLIGHT FILM


This Lake Powell Wedding Highlight Film was one of my favorite weddings to film ever!! First off, how can you go wrong when you get married at Lake Powell’s Antelope Point Marina? Second, the weather was perfect, not too hot at all (this wedding was on September 8th, 2012) which made some of the scenic shots too die for. Last but not least, anytime you have a destination wedding, you know that all of your guests really want to be there with you celebrating your wedding. That also makes for great shots to use in the wedding highlight film. Megan & Dillon were so relaxed the whole day. You could tell from the beginning that they were in love. All of their closest friends were there which makes the celebration even that much better. Immediately following the ceremony, we began getting shots of the family and friends, which is typical for a wedding, but because of the layout of the dock, we had to shoot across a section of water so I think everyone was nervous about someone falling in. Then, once that was done, we took Megan & Dillon over on the rocks by the water. It was here that we got our most favorite shots of the day. Unfortunately, we had some time restraints, like you usually do at a wedding, so we had to finish up a lot sooner than I wanted to but we were able to get the shots we needed to make this amazing wedding film. Once we got back to the marina, dinner started, which was amazing btw, and shortly after dinner, Megan & Dillon danced with their Dad and Mom. Having 6 kids, I always wonder what that moment will be like and when I saw the love they had with their parents, I could only hope that one day, when I dance with my daughters or my wife dances with our sons, that it would be similar. It was obvious that they were close with the parents; seeing the smiles, the tears, the hugs….. I wish all of the daddy/daughter and mother/son dances could be like Megan & Dillons. And then the party started, they hired a fantastic club style DJ who was mixing it up the whole night. At the end of the night, we climbed in these mini cars driven by the staff at Antelope Point Marina, and made the long trek back up to the parking lot where the sweetest BMW 7 series car was waiting to take them to their hotel. I can’t wait to go there again!!
After the wedding, Megan wrote this on WeddingWire.com about Pointe Digital. http://www.weddingwire.com/reviews/pointe-digital-lehi/66bcba9f968f973f.html
“I would recommend Pointe Digital to ANYONE look for a videographer. By the time I had considered a videographer my photography was already contracted….no problem for these guys! They worked hand in hand with my photographer and created such a beautiful video for us, I can’t believe this isn’t the FIRST thing I booked for my wedding. To any bride on the fence about videography, if you hire Pointe Digital you will NOT regret your investment when you get to watch all the parts of your wedding you did and did not get to experience, they get it all! In such a whirlwind of a day its easy to forget some of the small things that happened….you get to relive them when they’re captured so expertly by your videographer! As a plus, if there’s anything (or anyone) that you WANT to forget, they can make that happen to!:)Could not be happier with my experience with Pointe Digital!”
