Sleepy Ridge Promo Video

This is a promo video I recently produced for Sleepy Ridge Weddings, a new reception site in Orem, UT.

Amazingly, none of the couples in this piece had a professional videographer on hand for their big day. I was happy to be able to shoot some of their receptions and provide some footage for their memories, but wow, the one that really stuck out was the ballroom dancing couple, where the bride's dad is an actual opera singer from France! He performed an amazing Aria for the couple and the guests, and it was a powerful moment I will never forget.

I'm sorry, but stills just aren't enough sometimes. I was lucky I caught the moment for the couple and for Sleepy Ridge.

This video will be shown at the SR grand opening in a few weeks, and will also be posted on brideaccess.com. A shorter commercial will air on the brideaccess.com show on abc4 in a few weeks too.

Special thanks to Ken and Linda Sorenson of Lifelong Memories Films for their help in producing this video. http://lifelongmemoriesfilms.blogspot.com/

And Now For Something Completely Different...

Alex and Tania: Rock Band Edition! (AKA "Phantom of the Rock Band")

Ok, I gotta hand it to these guys for letting me talk them into doing a "music video", but with the way cool concept of hanging out and playing Rock Band. ;) They were fearless!! Both are Rock Stars, and Alex gets a special Medal for playing the drums with kitchen utensils!(we couldn't find the game drumsticks)

Now where things get kinda sci-fi-ish was where the time traveler known as "Old Man Alex" suddenly appears to jam with the currently young and vivacious Tania! (I could swear I saw a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor outside the studio while we were shooting)

I can't say that he aged all that well, but as you can see near the end of the video she loves him just the same!
