Modern Day Wedding Films are an artistic and emotional short film of your wedding day. All wedding film makers take pride in capturing those special candid moments between the bride and groom that make these films so real. A big part of this format is what we call the bride prep. This is the footage we capture of the bride getting ready. This includes her interactions with her bridesmaids and her family, applying her makeup, and everything leading up to her putting on the dress! All of this may seem very trivial, but filmed and edited properly it is a very important part of the film. It is really part of the event for the bride, and it is something the groom never gets to see. Fortunately we are a husband and wife team, so brides feel very comfortable with my wife being there with them and getting all the footage.
When you choose a wedding package keep in mind that if you tell your filmmaker (or videographer) you only need them to film from the ceremony forward, you will be missing a large part of what today’s wedding films incorporate into the final cut of your movie.

I have posted about this in the past but now that we are past the holidays and couples who recently got engaged are in the process of planning their perfect wedding day, I though it was appropriate to blow the dust off this topic and throw it out there. Couples usually end up over budget once they truly start planning their wedding, and one of the first things that ends up on the chopping block is a wedding film becaused they are already going to have pictures. Here are 5 reasons why we feel couples should cut back in other areas and make sure that they keep a wedding film in their wedding day planning:
There are many wedding videographers out there, and some do exceptional work. The main advice I can give is make sure you do everything in your power to budget for one and hire one you like. I promise you will thank me!!

We just spent the past weekend at Bridal Shows in Asheville and Charlotte. Because we are a husband and wife team we have a great time talking to couples about their wedding plans. It always takes us back to when we planned our wedding and how hectic it can be at times, but the planning is part of the fun and excitement and that is what I always try to remind every bride that we meet and work with. You really need to have fun planning your wedding because once the wedding day comes it goes by so fast that it is a blur of excitement and emotion. I look back on our wedding day and remember how much fun we had, and how much fun our guests had. That feeling is what I think every couple should remember from their wedding day, so my advice is don’t stress and enjoy the journey!

In 2011 we filmed a wedding in Asheville for a great couple at one of our favorite venues. The bride and groom loved their video! The grooms parents loved it even more.
My wife and I love Asheville NC, so we try to get there whenever possible. It is a great place and has special meaning for us because we got married there at a place called Homewood.
It is wedding season, so I have several weddings in the pipeline that we are diligently working on. Weddings are a lot of fun to film, but a lot of work on the back end.
Even though it was December in Asheville NC, the weather wasn’t that bad. It got very cold once the sun started to go down, but Alleigh and Jason didn’t care.
Now that we are almost a full month into 2012, the wedding season is quickly coming upon us. Depending on where you live will determine how long the wedding season is. Up north it is a little shorter, but here in North Carolina we have filmed weddings starting in March and all the way through December (our last wedding we filmed in 2011 was December 17th). As wedding filmmakers we take pride not only capturing the events of the day, but the emotion and romance of the event. We know that great effort has gone into even the smallest detail, and we want that to come across in our wedding films. Heading into 2012 we will start offering what is called Short Form Wedding Films. This form of wedding film has become extremely popular and allows us, as filmmakers, to be more creative and give a higher quality product that the typical Long Form Wedding Video.
Red Leaf Films has two offices, our main office in Charlotte NC and a new office in Asheville, North Carolina. Please feel free to contact us at 704.975.0715, or if you are planning an Asheville or Western Carolina Wedding call us at 828.407.1564.
We look forward to working with you on your special day!
