The marriage ceremony itself is without argument one of life’s most sacred rituals. Few occasions hold as much promise as the exchange of marriage vows. The celebration of matrimony is a joyful occasion for family and friends to witness a loving couple as they are formally born into their relationship and begin their journey through life together. Contracting with a professional media production team to capture your photos and video images, may be the single most important investment decision you will make during the weeks and months leading up to the wedding event. Prior to shooting weddings, I had over 30 years experience in extreme location television commercials, feature films and National Geographic documentaries. Many similarities in the production challenges exist between my specific cinematic background and the shooting of wedding events. Planning, preparedness and experience facilitate the creative process. Nuptial ceremonies are from start to finish, intensely documentary and necessitate specific equipment, training and awareness. "There are no perfect photographs, just images of perfect moments. The merit of a wedding photographer resides in his/her ability to unobtrusively capture the spontaneous." During the wedding event, many remarkable moments will transpire that cannot be recreated. Even within the most formulaic aspect of wedding photography, i.e. the group shots, brilliant, unexpected situations can arise. It is the responsibility of the media production team to capture these moments as they occur. There will be no second chances. I believe that your wedding will have all the elements of a great story, a story worthy of being told and retold for many years to come. Trust the media production team at Columbia Gorge Images to capture your wedding story elegantly and comprehensively so you may revisit your memories with a professionally produced wedding album and DVD video. When all is said and done, you will have each other, and the images from you wedding day. You must make arrangements to responsibly preserve these precious memories for posterity. Over the years, I have had so many couples contact me after receiving their albums and DVD's to say how much of the wedding day they did not remember and how glad they are to have had the event captured professionally by Columbia Gorge Images. May I suggest you secure the finest photographer and video production team your budget allows. Years from now, together with children, friends and family, you will delight to the powerful emotions a well-produced wedding album and video can evoke.” I know ... because my wife, son and I look at our wedding album and video a number of times each year! |
