We were featured on Wedding Chicks!

I'm a bit behind on my posts lately, but I wanted to share with you that Hannah & Brian's trailer was featured on the main page at WeddingChicks.com this morning! One of my absolute favorite bridal blogs, these girls really know how to find stylish affairs! So needless to say it was quite the honor for both my video and Emily Smith's pictures (which are AMAZING as always) to have such a prominent feature this morning. Thanks again to the chicks for sharing our work, and congrats to Hannah & Brian once more!

Essence Magazine & The Brides Cafe feature Rhona & Justin!

I'm so excited to see Rhona & Justin's beautiful story being shared on the FRONT PAGE (today only) of Essence.com! This is a big deal if you can't tell! :) I've gotten comments today directly from people who have found me from the article as well as been able to read the comments that accompany the wonderful article.

For those who miss it live on the site today, here is the direct link.

All of this is due to the wonderful vision of the generous Janie over at The Brides Cafe blog. Thanks so much for putting the spotlight on this wonderful couple, Janie!

The amazing photos that accompany this post are thanks to the talented Melissa Squires of A Girl In Love Photography.

Annalise + Alex | Wedding Trailer

Annalise & Alex are something special. They've got a love that won't quit, and smiles that go right along with it. Smiles that you can tell they inherited from their parents who couldn't help but spread their joy to all those around them throughout the day. It was, after all, a great day!

This day included bridesmaids chasing down a postal carrier to get their jewelry (those are good bridesmaids!), a surprise gift from the brides parents of a gorgeous pearl necklace that she had wanted but instead purchased a replica of, two of the best reception speeches I've ever heard, Greek and Dutch cultures coming together over dessert (Baklava and Banket), Greek dancing, and an amazing time had by all!

Also worthy of noting is that Alex is a DJ himself and worked the awesome GRunveiled.com bridal show back in March which is how they arrived at choosing many of the vendors of the day. With the outstanding photography of Paul Carlson, the stunning boutonniere work of Pixel and Hank, a photobooth set up by photographer and friend Jill Devries, hair done at Salon Re: and wreaths & wine from Art of the Table, this day had GRunveiled reunion written all over it, and for good reason!

Thanks so much to Annalise and Alex for letting me be a part of your day!

Kahley + Colby | Wedding Trailer

One thing you can't help but notice when you watch Kahley & Colby interacting together, is how much they make each other smile. While putting this one together, I found myself constantly smiling back at the screen. Read into each of their smiles, because there is a lot behind each one.

The details of the day were everywhere to be found, from the guys' socks, to the bouquet wrappings, earrings & much much more. Thankfully Kahley's father made sure that attention was even brought to the pinches of sand in every table's centerpiece which were from the very spot on the beach in Mexico where Colby proposed to Kahley.

One of my favorite parts about doing what I do is getting to know and growing to love the families I have the honor to work with, and I have to say, this was absolutely one of my favorites in that respect. Not just during the meetings and hilarious e-mails I got to have with Cinda, (Kahley's mom, who is a friend to my favorite professor from college, Dorie Shelby), but just the general sense of what strong families each of them comes from, and maybe they'll remember to call me when it's time to shoot their 50th anniversary celebration.

Thanks to my second shooter Dave Buchanan for all of his AMAZING shots that I never even saw until I got home that night! Excellent work my friend!

Kahley & Colby, honestly, thank you for letting me be a part of your amazing day.

Rhona + Justin | Wedding Trailer

Rhona and Justin had an amazing Michigan wedding in mid-May! They were pronounced man and wife at Central United Methodist in beautiful downtown Detroit, right next to Comerica Park, and down the street from the fabulous Fox theater. The celebration then moved to Greektown Casino-Hotel where the fifth floor was teeming with the people who love and support them most!

This day was full of all of the elements that make up a great wedding, the most important of which was their deep love for each other. It's apparent in their actions, in every look they give, and in every word they speak. I was so excited to be a part of this wedding. When I first met with Rhona & Justin over coffee in Ann Arbor back in March, I knew I wanted to work with them. They're such a vibrant couple who compliment each other beautifully. When you find two people so meant to be, it will make you a better person by being even a small part of their lives.

I had the pleasure of working alongside no less than three outstanding vendors, and hope to have the same opportunity again soon! Erika Piquant from EcoPosh Events, Melissa Squires and her husband Sean from A Girl In Love Photography, and DJ iPod.

Hannah + Brian | Wedding Trailer

It was a beautiful day back in the mid 20th century when Hannah & Brian got married. Or was it the 21st century? Hard to tell since their beautiful day had an equal mixture of both vintage and modern elements and was held at The Henry Ford which always manages to cast an elegantly classic light on any formal gathering.

From the purple argyle socks that the guys wore, to the jewelry and flowers that were made by the bride herself, right up to the collection of vintage Super 8 cameras on display with their guestbook and pictures, everything about this wedding just screamed 'style!'

Thanks so much to Hannah & Brian for allowing me to capture their big day!

Also thanks to Emily Smith & Lindsay Goodrich from Smith Gallery Photography for being so much fun to shoot alongside! (We all went to the same college and were in the chapel band together, so it was a fun reunion for us as well!)

A Nashville Wedding

Earlier this year my buddy Eugene and I were talking on the phone about our upcoming weddings, and he asked if I'd ever be interested in swinging down to Nashville to shoot another one alongside them, this time in their hometown (I'd already shot once with them in Terre Haute, IN). Of course I said that would be awesome! He immediately came back at me with a date, "What are you doing on May 8th?"

The ceremony began right at sunset in the same garden where Josh proposed to Jenny. While Jenny's family is comprised of famous musicians, none of them were asked to be involved in the wedding in any capacity aside from being there as her loving, supportive family. I loved that. For such an amazing day, it was so low-key and dream-like that it really made the bride & groom shine that much brighter.

The band was rocking, the guests were partying, and the photographers...well, they were partying too! The amazing Zach & Jody Gray of Gray Photography had their photos from this wedding featured in People Magazine in their recent Country Edition. See the photos on their blog here.

Thanks again to the always awesome Eugene & Heather Brown for including us in this amazing opportunity! Seriously you two, I really appreciate your friendship.

Check out the awesome trailer that Eugene put together after their gorgeous wedding!

Abby & Darren | Wedding Trailer

In a weekend of temperamental weather, no one knew if the morning clouds would turn dark or scatter, and sure enough. the sky cleared, and the day warmed right up! What started out overcast turned out to be a gorgeous day in June for Abby & Darren's wedding!

Accented by some of the most beautiful floral arrangements I've seen in a long time (thanks to Gail Vander Laan) the ceremony was held at the Chapel at Hawk Hollow and followed by a reception across the street at the Eagle Eye Banquet Center.

A large bridal party of family and close friends beautifully filled the front of the chapel as Darren's face brightened when he saw his bride walk arm-in-arm with her father up the aisle.

Following the ceremony, we followed the photo shoot from Hawk Hollow down to the campus of Michigan State University where they posed near some great local icons and landmarks, and then swiftly made it back to the banquet center in time for a grand entrance and some truly moving toasts from the Best Man and Matron of Honor, (Darren's brother & Abby's sister).

Shooting alongside the talented Holli and her associate Joe from Holli Ann Studios was a pleasure! They did a great job working with this bridal party, and we can't wait to see the results! On top of that, we met one of my new favorite DJ's, the incredible Rodney Lamar Page who was a sight to see behind the booth! From skillfully mixing, to occasionally supplementing the music with his amazing violin skills, he kept the party going late into the evening!

Thanks again Abby & Darren for letting us be a part of your amazing day!

Love

I just had to post my thoughts today and this is pretty much my best forum for doing that.

Many of us have heard 1 Corinthians 1:1-13. In fact, I, like many of you had it read during my own wedding ceremony. Verses four through seven states:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

I love those verses. Dwell on the words in there for a minute. I know that other wedding vendors may roll their eyes even if just for a second at the repetition with which we hear them, but I think every Christian (and even non-Christian) couple should have it read to them as a reminder once a year. Life is brutal and real, and sometimes we need to remember how to love one another.

Not AS many people are familiar with the fruits of the Spirit verse: Galatians 5:22-23. I find this one to closely connect to the first and here's why. It discusses what the fruit of the Spirit is, meaning if you follow the Holy Spirit's guidance, the way people will be able to see that in your life is through the fruit it produces, and according to this verse:

"...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. ..."

The first time I read that though, I mistakenly read a colon after "love." I hate to take the Bible out of context, and please excuse my doing so, but it was still a revelation to me to read it like this:

"...the fruit of the Spirit is love: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. ..."

See how it changes, even if only slightly, the way you read it? These are words that can just as easily be synonymous with love. I hope in your daily life you practice these with not just your spouse (or future spouse) but with everyone you come into contact with.

Not to be cheesy, but let's remember, love is actually not a noun, it's a verb. It's an action word, so don't fall into the fairy-tale mindset that you won't have to put a little work in every once in a while. That's normal and healthy.

Maribel & Dale | Wedding Teaser

After a long winter off, we're back baby!
Maribel & Dale were married this past Saturday, May 1st, 2010, at the Chapel at Hawk Hollow with a reception across the street at Eagle Eye. A beautiful day and a gorgeous wedding made for easy work on our end! Thanks to the outstanding Kristen & Jamie from KHollyStudios.com for being so awesome to work alongside! And thanks again to my awesome second-shooter and sister-in-law extraordinaire Amanda Bailey for all of her help!

New Site Launched!

Thanks to my friend Luke, I still have an HTML page that I can edit, but now with multiple pages, HD video (rather than the old SD video hub I was using on the old site), a streamlined contact form, and more. And while some of the page is not finished (the About & Testimonial pages will be more visually appealing over time) I felt the page was definitely at a point where I could draw attention back to it again.

I did receive a lot of compliments on the simplicity of the old page, and I did like it just fine, but it was time for more, so hopefully you will like this new page just as well. :)

Thanks to everyone who has made my past year a successful one (from the great couples I've worked with, to the amazing vendors and supportive friends and family), I hope I can keep your expectations high as I move forward into this next phase of Owen Video.

Revamping everything...

You may have noticed things changing around here...or if you're not a frequent visitor then you may simply have noticed the fact that not everything appears "complete." My friend Luke and I are doing a complete site overhaul and it's starting to feel like it's wrapping up a bit more. I'll make an obvious announcement when it's ready, but until then, please bear with us!

Do your homework and hire a pro!

There are so many things to say about this clip from Judge Joe Brown. The Judge isn't 100% right, the plaintiff isn't, and the defendant REALLY isn't, but overall, one of the things I try to relate to brides OVER AND OVER again is that you MUST meet with your vendors before hand. Not just at a bridal show, but in person at their studio or in a coffee shop. Get to know them as a person AND a professional. They're going to spend an entire day with you...the most important day of your life. Don't get stuck with a jerk. There are too many excellent professional photographers out there to let it happen. Especially in Michigan, we're blessed with some amazing talent! Just ask, I'd be happy to recommend some!

Also please note, this HAPPENED in Michigan. The plaintiff is from Coleman, a town that my best friend grew up in. It's just around the corner from Midland. So don't think this can't happen to you.

10 Tips for Better Wedding Photos

Well, 10 Tips for Better Wedding Photos...AND Video. ;)

As most of you know, Twitter has introduced me to some great wedding professionals, and one whose style I asbolutely LOVE is Jessica & Nate from Mod4! You have to see it to understand! So make sure when you're done reading, you head over to their site.

This morning, Jessica posted her 10 Tips for Better Wedding Photos, and with her permission I just had to share it with you here!

--Andy


After photographing nearly 300 weddings, I have seen it all. I have seen the most beautifully perfect wedding day and the most unplanned mixed up wedding day. After 7 some years watching some of you struggle and some of you strive, here are my top 10 ideas for better wedding images.

1~ Clean up your getting ready space
Before your photographer arrives to photograph the bride getting ready remove the half eaten sandwiches, empty soda cans and those horrible plastic bags from bridesmaids dressed laying all over the room. Having the bridesmaids dresses and shoes in the room is a great detail in the shots, but not the packaging, and certainly not old food.

2~ Make sure mom and bridesmaids are ready first
Your mom has been waiting for this forever. Really, since you were born probably. Even if she hasn't mentioned it, it is her dream to help you into your dress. Make sure she is ready before everyone else. She needs to be dressed and looking good to help you into your gown. So many times, the bride is ready to go and get dressed, but mom is missing. Make sure she stays near you and knows when to be ready.
Your bridesmaids also should be dressed before you. Well, anyone who will be helping you get into your gown at least. When you begin to get dressed, all others should either be helping or away in another room. Girls half naked in the background of your getting ready shots will render them useless.

3~ Stand correctly during your ceremony
During your ceremony you will most likely be facing away from everyone (cameras included) for most of the time. Its when you do your vows, rings, unity candle and KISS that we get to see you - so don't waste it~! Ask your officiant where they like to stand for those moments. Some officiants stand right in front of the bride and groom, blocking your faces and your ring exchange. If this is the case for your officiant, kindly ask him to reconsider. While we totally understand that your ceremony is just that, a ceremony, not a photo session, we know that you want those special images, and we want to provide them to you.
If your lighting a unity candle, please stand behind it, never in front of it. Then all we have is a photo of your back while you light a candle that we cant see:)

4~Tell immediate family + bridal party to STAY~!
When the ceremony has ended and it is time for the super boring family shots, nothing is worse than going 15 minutes over schedule because half of the family is missing. Parents are often the number one offender of this. They want to mingle. Mingling is fun for them and it really is their job that day, but this is not the time for mingling. If you're at a church, chances are you have a limited amount of time to get these posed shots done. We have been kicked out of churches BEFORE the posed shots were done due to missing people.
A lot of times an aunt is put in charge of driving grandparents to the reception. Most of those times, they whisk grandparents away right after the ceremony without even thinking of posed pictures. Whoever is in charge of the grandparents, make sure they know that you want photos with the grandparents and not to run off.

At the rehearsal, let the people (immediate family + bridal party) know that they will be needed immediately after the ceremony and tell them exactly where to be (if @ a church, the altar) and let them that this is serious. You could end up missing some important shots.

5~ Choose photo locations with semi-easy parking
You get a limo or a bus or whatever. We have a car. Your limo drops you off right where you want to be. We have to find parking and then walk to where we want to be. We LOVE urban downtown locations, but they can be tricky with parking. What good does it do you to be standing at a killer location if we are blocks away, running to get to you? We know of many great urban downtown spots that also have parking for us. It's a shame to waste precious wedding day time on parking.

6~ Hire a lighting designer
No matter where your reception is, it can use the help of a professional lighting designer. Want to know what separates most weddings from the ones you see published in fancy magazines? Lighting. It can completely change the vibe, feel and look of ANY room. Here in Detroit, we have a few great companies that do some incredible things with lights. Don't rely on your DJ or band. Sure, they have a few lights but nothing that is going to make a HUGE impact like a lighting designer.

7~ Use a traditional head table or sweetheart table
There are a few different ways to set up your head table. Traditional long table with the bridal party spread across, a sweetheart table for just the 2 of you, or this weird square everybody faces everybody thing. When you sit at a traditional head table or sweetheart table, you face outwards towards the guests AND cameras. During toasts, we can actually see your faces and reactions. When you sit at the weird square table thing (I think they call it King James style??) we struggle to see your faces and you reactions to the toasts. This is a time for giant laughs and smiles and sometimes tears, and we want to document that for you, but first we need to be able to see your faces.

8~ Pick a semi-lengthy first dance song AND dance to all of it
The first dance is one the best times at a wedding for us to capture some seriously candid romantic shots of you. It's our very most favorite part of the day. So, when you dance to Etta James "At Last", a song lasting a whopping minute and a half, your cutting so short the amount of spectacular images we can give you. Your doing the same things by cutting any other song in half. I know that dancing might not be your thing and being out there for a whole 4 minutes is terrifying, but it is worth it!

9~ Pretty please do not do the dollar dance
Dollar dance. I think it's definition should be "reception killer". There is nothing worse at halting fun at your reception than the dollar dance. It clears the dance floor and puts a stop to any great times people were having. Also, it's a waste of photography. There may be a few cute moments during the dollar dance, but with the average dollar dance lasting at least 6 songs, there's not much to document. We could have been getting you some great shots of people having a dance off on the floor, you laughing with your college friends or you and your husband cutting loose together on the floor.

10~ Hire a wedding planner
So often yet SO crucial. You have never done this. You've probably never planned a giant party for 200 of your closest friends. Seriously, its hard. A wedding planner has done this hundreds of times and knows exactly what to do and when to do it. Instead of your wedding turning into a nightmare of stress, a planner will do the hard stressing for you so you can actually enjoy the process.
A planner on the day of the wedding is also super duper important. Do you want to be bothered all day and night by all the little things that go wrong or cause trouble? NO! Your planner will put out each and every "fire" that occurs without you ever having to know.
It also makes out job easier when their is a "point person" to go to. The last thing we want to do is become another person in line to ask you a question. When we are able to go directly to the planner, things get sorted out quicker allowing us to spend more time capturing your memories.

BONUS TIP~!
Be yourself. Forget about all the wedding rules, they are BORING~! Don't want to wear a white dress? Don't! Love funky hot pink heels? Wear them! Don't like real flowers? Make your own out of tissue! Love damask? Use damask print linens instead of boring white ones! Love color? Forget that overdone plain white cake and do something fun!
This is your one chance to throw a huge YOU themed party. Don't let it slip by while your busy following ancient wedding rules.

Bridal Shows

Well, this will be my first time attending a bridal show as a vendor and I think I've chosen two GREAT ones to start with!

What I like about them each is that they're both brand new this year. They're both aiming at a more contemporary, even intimate setup. And they're both limiting the amount of vendors to each one. It's TRULY an honor to be surrounded with all of the other incredibly talented people you'll find at each show!



Coming up first (in less than two weeks actually) is the Little Black Book event in the capital city.

Jean & Nathan | Wedding Trailer

Somehow in the chaos of life I managed to post Jean & Nathan's trailer on Vimeo, I tweeted a link, I posted it on the Facebook fan page, and I even wrote it up in Wedding Chicks' Real Weddings section...but I neglected to post it on my own blog. So without any further ado....Jean & Nathan's trailer!
