Videography is something that I've always wanted incredibly bad for our wedding, but nothing (until now) ever quite seemed to work out. Have you seen some of the incredible wedding videos out there?! They are AMAZING, dreamy, whimsical....more than simply a tape-recording of the day, that's for sure! Here are two videos that I keep going back to because I simply can't get enough. Stick with me because *gasp* the second video isn't a wedding video, but it is BEAUTIFUL and the aesthetic that I want for my wedding (also, I'm absolutely in love with food, so this video [for me] is quite fitting).This first one gets me EVERYTIME. The pink church, the gifts and Wonderwall...just watch, you'll see. http://vimeo.com/26502282

Now, this is the wedding-less video, but I'm pretty sure that you're about to fall in LOVE with Tiger in a Jar just like I have. The dreamy lighting, documentary style and just wait for the ombre pine nuts!

Now that you've seen those two BEAUTIES! Look at Jonathon Link Studios, the amazing videographers that I am going to have the privilege to work with for my wedding. They are an adorable husband-wife duo and JB and I are thrilled to have them on our team. Here is one of my favorite videos they've done, but really I love them all!

Two of my favorite things about Jonathon and Kristin Link are: 1. They are attending our rehearsal to get a better feel for how the day is going to go down. 2. They are shooting our wedding with 3 cameras (!!!). We met with them this past weekend to talk about details and were just so impressed with everything they had to say, I can't wait to watch our video for years to come!

I love the gift exchange from the first video and I always love when videos include pre-wedding preparations, but what are some other things that I have to make sure to leave time for my videographers to capture (other than the obvious ceremony and reception traditions)?

P.S. I'm less than 5-months out! Also, I found this the other day in a book at Pottery Barn and had to share...

I have recently begun yet another endeavor to keep my plate nice and full (and almost tipping over!). This time I get to do the fun part and talk to brides about wedding videography all day long. (That statement makes my life sound like a walk in the park! I'll take it.) Since I have the hook ups to videography now, of course I HAVE to pass it onto you guys.

So here is the deal. It's a pretty big one too. Silber Studios started (and still remains) a photography show where they have the chance to interview some of the top photographers in the industry. They began opening up their brand to include services such as wedding videography. That is where I came in. Apparently people think I know a thing or two about weddings :)

We are looking for brides who so deserve these services, but we are going to go even further by offering $500-$1000 off! Can you believe it? (where do I sign up?? Oh and depending on the package, that is roughly, 30% off!)

Here is how to enter:

Create an inspiration board of your wedding. Include some of the details you are adding and some of the ideas you are incorporating. If I were you I would also write a little blurb about the wedding to get me really interested! Send your submission to allison@engagedandinspired.com.

Oh and guess what. There is no limit to the number of people that win. For the next month we are going to pick out the winners and we are going to keep going until we are satisfied!

So go ahead and get that board done and sent! It could save you a ridiculous amount on your wedding!
