This is a recently completed video of Samantha and Dale's post wedding photography session video taped at the Wright House in Mesa. In a previous entry I posted the their Love Story video which was played at their reception. What a great couple and they just glowed on their wedding day.

A Wedding - Rosa & David

It was an honor for me to record the wedding of Rosa and David at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic church in Phoenix. The Phoenix Airport Marriott hosted the reception. Rosa has one of the most infectious smiles I have seen and David is a very lucky man to be the husband of such a beautiful, kind woman.



I video taped the wedding and reception using my Canon XH-A1 and HV20 video cameras.

ArizonaVideography.com HHR Panel Wrap

In August, I purchased a Chevy HHR Panel for a business vehicle. I have been wanting to get some vehicle graphics on it and have been shopping around for sign shops. Well, I finally decided to go with Wright Signs in Gilbert. The reason I chose Wright Signs is because I had come up with a design I liked but I wanted someone to take it the next level. When I visited Wright Signs, Adam, their graphic designer, got 'right' on the computer and showed me some ideas he had. No other sign shop I visited did that!

Yesterday, I took my HHR Panel to their shop and Adam and Doug installed my vehicle graphics. Since I knew I was going to be there four or five hours, I decided to take my small video camera and document the install. So here you go.

Thanks Adam & Doug. Great job!



A Wedding - Ellen & Allen

Ellen & Allen were married in the LDS Arizona Temple in Mesa Arizona. When Ellen contacted me about video taping her wedding, because of her uncommon last name, I asked if she knew some people with whom I had grown up with the same sir name. And she did. Ends up I attended church with her grandparents, her mother and an uncle who was my same age. Small world.


After I posted Samantha & Robbie's video here, Ellen contacted me because she really liked it and wanted to have hers done very similarly. So, here it is. Ellen, I hope you like this as well.




I shot this with two cameras. My Canon HV-20 was mounted on a tripodd to get wide shots and I handheld my Canon XH-A.

Evening Photography Session

When Megan & David were married, they had a photo session before the wedding ceremony and one after. By the time everyone gathered for the post-ceremony photo session, it was DARK! This video will give you an idea of how well today's professional video cameras can shoot in low light situations.



We used no video lighting except when we were following behind them on the sidewalk and in the closing shot by the pond. The main camera I use is a Canon XH-A1 professional HDV video camera. Also, we shot the crossing and moving shots with a Canon HV-20 HDV video camera mounted to a Steadi-Cam.


A Love Story - Samantha & Dale

Samantha and Dale will be getting married on July 18th and I am creating a love story video for them to play at their reception. One type of music they agree on is 50's oldies so when they said one of their favorite songs is 'Earth Angel' I figured it was perfect to work into a retro 8mm film type of effect.

This is just a short version for the blog. The actual completed video will have multiple locations and interviews. The day we shot this video it was VERY windy. So windy we could not tape the interview outside due to the wind noise. Since I lived nearby, we taped the interview in my living room. I hope you enjoy watching this video.


A Wedding - Samantha & Robby

Samantha and Robby were married in the LDS Arizona Temple in Mesa, Arizona. In the time outside the temple after the marriage, I shot video of the friends and relatives who were awaiting the appearance of the bride and groom. When Samantha and Robby appeared, the photographer only briefly photographed the bride and groom, as well as family and friends, before everyone departed for the reception venue, Villa Siena in Gilbert. What a wonderful, beautiful couple!


Most of this video was shot with my Canon HV-20 mounted to my Merlin Steadi-cam (which I am still learning to master). I shot the wide shots with my Canon XH-A1. I slowed most all the shots down to 50% speed because I felt it went well with the music and to stretch the time of the shots I had.
