Charles + Akure @ Cathedral of Assumption and The Brown Hotel

From the moment we arrived at Akure and Charles’ wedding, we knew it was going to be a wonderful day! Everyone involved with the wedding (the couple; their families; and all the vendors working to put together such a spectacular event,) were super excited and happy about the day!

Both venues were a joy to work with. The Cathedral of Assumption’s architectural beauty made shooting an already spectacular day even better, and the staff of The Brown Hotel, as per usual, was not only prompt and elegant, but very helpful towards the needs of the guests and the rest of the vendors as well.  A reception at The Crystal Ballroom always has a level of style and class that creates ICVideo's most incredbile weddings.
It is very easy to appreciate working with the photographer, Josh Meredith from Bella Grace Studios. His keen eye for aesthetics took the couple, and us, to gorgeous backgrounds that perfectly fit the couple’s style, as well as the day and all its emotion.  The first wedding we worked with Josh was at Cathedral of the Assumption 6 years ago.  It's amazing how everytime we step in The Cathedral of the Assumption it's like the first time, like with Josh and Bella Grace many years ago.
The reception could not have been as perfect as it was without the DJ, Kenny Sauter with Masters of Music. His eloquence as a master of ceremonies makes the formal events and experience of the reception event of class. And his enthusiasm and energy really shines through when the party arrives! Only Kenny with Masters of Music can make a celebration like this.  Check out the Masters of Music website here.
I’m very glad to have had the privilege of documenting such a remarkable event; it really helps remind us of how much we enjoy doing what we do!

A day at St. Agnes in Louisville Kentucky (KY) with Sarah and Sean

This is how we spent our entire year!  Filming incredbile weddings and sharing our days with some incredible (and happy!) people.

Just a quick preview of wedding from the fall.  We love filming at the traditional Catholic Churches in and around Kentuckiana and St. Agnes stands with the best of them.  The grounds are always beautiful, the church is wonderfully preserved, and the wood and glass tell a story of so many years.

It's safe to say that Sean and his guys brought the laughs and the trolley brought Sarah and all the smiles. Thanks to J. Elizabeth Designs for the stunning florals.  It's always a pleasure to work with Jill.

Enjoy this preview.  More to come in the week ahead!

Special thanks again to Dave with Odyssey Mobile Entertainment, Jill with J. Elizabeth Designs, and Mary and Gabe with Honey Heart Photography.  It's amazing how a group of wedding professionals can work together to make a brides day perfect!

And remember... Being the best man at a wedding is huge deal.  Congrats to the best man for keeping it real and being honest :)

Caitlin + Edgar - a speech, a ceremony, and a heck of a good time

Our previous post was a little preview of what was to come.  An incredible day with a fun loving couple that hired ICVideo to make a wedding video.  We did.  It wasn't that easy though...

Cathedral of Assumption and a Louisville Wedding Video

First off, we don't simply shove a contract out to someone and say "sign, book now before you lose your date, we're the cheapest, we're the best," or a million other sales tactics.  What we do is talk.  We first met Caitlin and Edgar at a bridal show, way back in 2011.  We meet a lot of brides, grooms, moms, dads, and friends, but since we kind of sit back and just let people watch our films, the right couples always seem to step forward.  Caitlin and Edgar did just that, and we had a feeling they would be an ICVideo couple.

We got the email inquiry on the 5th of July 2011 and spoke with Caitlin immediately about the wedding. When they came into the studio we all sat down, talked about a million things, watched videos, and we all knew that we were a fit for each other.  They signed and the countdown began.  

We ran into each other at other wedding shows, bumped into each other at Mellwood Arts Center (the reception site), and each time it was a smile and conversation.  That's what we love.  Excitement, energy, and good people.  We don't do weddings to record "something."  We record a wedding to show how much love, attention, energy, and devotion a couple has with each other and all those around.  

This video has made me smile the 30 or so times I've watched it.  This is what every bride and groom deserves.  A story of the day.  

Mellwood Arts Center Wedding Reception

From the meetings and conversations before the wedding to the planning and prep the week of your wedding, we work hard to film the day and create each story.  It's not about having the best cameras in the market to film with that make the day (though it helps).  It's not about preparing the day before so that every battery is charged, every lens is cleaned, and every camera is ready (though it helps).  It's not about working that day.  It's about being the skilled professional waiting for the perfect moments (with the best equipment), and taking all the good pieces and parts of the day and doing what we call "stitching".  Stitching a story like Caitlin and Edgars from Cathedral of Assumption to Mellwood Arts Center is what it's all about.  I've said it before, but Caitlin and Edgar, thanks for letting us capture your day.

Caitlin and Edgar (Thanks for letting us capture these and many more moments)

We were so excited when we booked Caitlin and Edgar.  They smiled, laughed, and let us know from day one when we met that the wedding day was going to be something special.  After the signing, we waited.  We'd bump into each other at a show or at Mellwood Arts Center.  I'd send an email, get a phone call, all building to the excitement of the day. 

We've just started "building" the video, but we simply couldn't wait to share.  Enjoy this preview of what to come.
