This video above is the exact opposite of the kind of video we want to have and the type of people we want to be.

I have always loved being in front of the camera. I started taking acting classes around the 3rd grade which lead to going to a performing arts school, which lead to be majoring in Theatre at Ohio State, and which lead to me having my own show at Ohio State called “Music On Campus.” I always thought to myself when growing up that why were wedding videos so lame and cheesy. They had zero cinematic and artistic quality. These wedding videographers had to like some sort of film or art because they got into the business of videography.  But why were these wedding video so boring and didn’t tell any story.  I had this misconception of wedding videos until I stumbled on this video by Brinton Films out of Arizona. It was beautiful, romantic, and told a story of a couple in love. All of their wedding videos were amazing. At the time I thought if I ever got married I would want my wedding video to look like any one of their films.

Fast forward to early 2012 and one of Phil’s friends from his church got married and posted her wedding video on Facebook. I had just watched my cousin Sarah’s wedding video and telling Phil about it and then he sent me her wedding video by Candy Apple Films . There it was a wedding videographer that made weddings look like a real artistic movie! Scott from Candy Apple (not Candy Apple Dance you Dance Mom fans) was the only videographer we wanted and interviewed and he had us instantly sold when he showed us a film of a Greek wedding he did and it made me teary eyed and I never get teary eyed watching wedding videos. So we booked him. Watch one of his awesome films below.
