Ray's Videographer Desk Wednesday August 18, 2010

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday!

Had a great meeting last night through Metropolitan Bride based out of Springfield.  They've come up with some great ideas for the bridal show next month in Joplin as well as other networking meetings beyond just the show. 

If you or someone you know who is getting married and is still searching for ideas.  Be sure you register for the Fall Bridal Show by going here:  http://www.metbride.com/register.html

We did see a slow down this year in wedding bookings this year.  So we're hoping with the next one things will pick up again.  Unfortunately in our business, wedding video isn't perceived as on the high priority list.  I want to change that perception.

This year we will be part of the Bridal Bouquet Giveaway.  I'll let you know what we're giving away on Friday.

I'm still looking for office space.  Our 10x10 spare room is no longer big enough.  I'm thinking of maybe finding a photographer that would like to split the cost of a office building and have 2 studios there.  One for video and one for photography.

We are also would like to start producing commercials.  We can't do anything too fancy but we can do the basics to get something ready for air.

My goals for the next month is to start getting everything in place for a Photo Booth.  I'll know more exactly what I plan to do with the business when I return from WEVA Expo in Orlando next week.  I'll make sure and post some pictures of my adventure!

Everyone have a great Wednesday!

I hope everyone is having a great day.  A little gloomy with rain out there with temps right less than 80 degrees but we can’t argue especially since it’s usually nearly 100 degrees at this time of year.

This evening I will be attending a Bridal Show meeting for Metropolitan Bride based out of the Springfield, Missouri area.  There is a bridal show being held September 12, 2010 at the Holiday Inn just off of I-44.

Next week I’ll be attending theNext week I’ll be attending the 20th Annual Wedding & Event Videographer’s International (WEVA) Expo in Orlando Florida .  It’s the time of the year where Videographers and Filmmakers from all around the world will come together for a week of education, networking, be inspired.  In the last 2 years alone, we’re continuing to evolve our business and this year will be no different. 

We are working hard to begin offering other services soon.  We have explored the option of Photography but nothing is concrete yet.

We are going to invest into the Photo Booth Service.  We’re looking for equipment and designs and hope to have that going and in place by January.

We are also working on some new branding for our business and hope to roll those out very soon.

Remember we are now booking for the 2011 wedding season.  Check out our website for samples, availability and much more.

Have a great Tuesday!

A perfect example as to why you should invest in a professional wedding video, or you will get these results. This classic was originally done by John Cooksey and Steve Bolander and shared with videographers in the Wedding Video Companion.
