On December 15th we videotaped the wedding of Kelly & Matt at the Cathedral Basilica in St Louis. If you've never had the opportunity to see it, it's worth taking a tour through the church during the day.
When Kelly first contacted me she mentioned that she had been in a previous wedding I had shot where we produced a Same Day Edit ... or SDE. For those that aren't familiar with an SDE, it's a video that has footage shot throughout the day of the wedding set to music and played back on a projection system at the reception. In this case we also pre-produced a photo montage that preceded the edit.
These are always a challenge and impossible to do with only one or two videographers, so I called on my good friend Chuck from Katch Video to help out.
With Chuck and my wife Barb making sure the projector was setup properly and in focus for the 400+ guests, I was able to finish the SDE with about 20 minutes to spare.
The entire video was over 10 minutes and a bit too long to post here, but for Kelly, Matt, family and friends ... I wanted to post this portion for you to take a look at one more time.
Special thanks to the staff at the Adams Mark Hotel for their hospitality and to Westrich Photography for the use of the engagement photo in the video.
By the way ... you'll need Quicktime Player for the video.

Almost a new year ...
We're coming to a quick close to 2007 and it's been a great year.
It's been about a month since I posted anything new. And while I don't have any photos or video to put up right now, I should have something in the near future. We've actually produced three wedding videos (just need edited) ... the last wedding included a Same Day Edit. I'll definitely have some footage from that one. For those of you not familiar with the Same Day Edit, I'll post more information when the video is on-line.
The next 8 weeks will be the busiest of the year. I have albums to design, wedding videos to edit, and corporate video as well. Oh yeah ... let's not forget the bridal shows.
Our 2008 calendar is quickly filling up. As of today we are officially half-way booked for the year. We've been booking at such a good pace that instead of doing 6 bridal shows like we did in 2007 ... we'll now only do two shows.
We're going to be at the Hilton Garden Inn in Champaign and the Keller Convention Center in Effingham. Champaign and Effingham are like a second home to us, so I would never miss those two shows.
Special thanks to all my couples who made 2007 such a great one.
Also ... Nicole, Barb, Chuck and Kathy ... thank you for your support this year. This has been a team effort and you helped make 2007 the best one yet for Scott Brooks Photography. 2008 is going to be even better.
