Back from Las Vegas Wedding

Ok, so I got back from Las Vegas on Monday, this was my first destination wedding and it was a blast. The wedding was wonderful and I could truly tell the couple were made for each other. Ja'Kyta and Kenny had a long day leading up to the ceremony, but the love filled the chapel. I was honored to be the videographer at their wedding and reception so they will be able to share it with everyone in Kansas City that were unable to make it. There is something about a Vegas wedding...I never knew how many wedding chapels were on Las Vegas Blvd until this trip. I saw so many brides on that Saturday making their way to and from their own weddings.

While my husband I were out there we had a chance to spend some time on the strip, visit Hoover Dam and go see George Wallace at The Flamingo. The comedy show took place after the wedding, so we invited the couple to be our guest at the show. Well because there was not a lot of time between the wedding and the show we ended up getting there late. Of course that was a no no...because soon as we walked into the theater George Wallace called for the four of us to come front and center. Since Ja'Kyta and Kenny told them they had just gotten married he excused us and actually allowed us to sit at his personal guest table right up front (kinda cool). Then he went on with the show. Well by the end of the evening he asked if any singers would like to go up for an Apollo type competition and so Ja'Kyta went up and sang the song that won Jennifer Hudson that Oscar "And I Am Telling You". She blew the roof off the place and even George Wallace was surprised by her performance. So it ended up being an even more memorable day for the couple. Here is the clip I shot on my phone (not the best quality).



I look forward to taking a look at the footage and putting it together. The couple is honeymooning in the Caribbean and I hope they are enjoying themselves.

Stephanie + Nick Wedding

Back in November I had the distinct honor to be the videographer at Stephanie and Nick's wedding. A couple of years ago I worked for the same company as Stephanie so when she called about wedding videography I knew the name sounded familiar. When I met with her and Nick they were excited about their wedding and I knew they were a perfect match. Their wedding was beautiful and everyone seemed to have a great time. At any given time you could look at Stephanie and her smile could light up room. During the cake cutting, Nick seemed to catch Stephanie off guard...you'll have to watch to see what I mean. Here is a highlight of their special day.

New Site - Bluvision Wedding Films

As Bluvision Media is expanding into areas outside of weddings we have a new site exclusively for wedding videography which is www.bluvisionweddings.com . By doing so going forward our wedding division will be Bluvision Wedding Films.

Bluvision Wedding Films will offer high definition wedding videography in Kansas City and will also be available for destination weddings. We are heading out west to Las Vegas next week to shoot the first wedding of the year. I am looking forward to seeing the happy couple tie the knot.

Happy New Year!!!

Wow, I cannot believe its been a year since I started this blog and this stuff is harder than I thought. With all of the things happening in ones life you can easily forget about updating your blog. My new year's resolution will definitly be to keep you more in tune with Bluvision Media. As Oprah once said "Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."

As I look back on this year it has been one that I will never forget because of the many changes that occurred in my personal life as well as professionally. Not only did I celebrate my 1yr wedding anniversary but we welcomed our first child into this world 11 days later. Being a mom brings me so much joy. Because of my pregnancy that put a little damper on the prime wedding season but I'M BAAAACK. The look of the website and blog have changed due to the evolution of Bluvision and we are one step closer to introducing a new division (more details to come soon).

So as we look forward to 2010, I am very excited about the changes coming to Bluvision Media and our offerings. I am also looking forward to connecting new people in Kansas City and worldwide. We are all a work in progress, so take a moment today to reflect on what's important in your life as you look to where you want to be.

HD Coming in 2010

As you look forward to the new year, Bluvision Media is looking forward to some changes. In 2010 we will introduce high definition video to our services. You will be able to see your wedding or special event crystal clear on your HD televisions or monitors. We will be posting HD videos starting in January.

Happy Anniversary Polly & Shelby

Earlier this month friends of my husband and I celebrated their one year anniversary. I had the opportunity to be the videographer at their wedding and love was definitely in the air in Winfield, KS. I'm quite sure that after a year they would love to look back at the highlights from that day so I put this short clip together for them.



Happy Anniversary Polly & Shelby Miller.

JoAnna and Hollis - Wedding

The couple did not have a long time to plan the wedding, but you would not have been able to tell. JoAnna was a beautiful bride and Hollis was filled with emotion from the day. Their wedding coordinator was Mary of Mardee's Design and Consulting.


Here are a few photos from their big day.
