Glass Eye Video Blog: The blog for wedding videography. Wedding and event video production company based in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Ok, so I was going to title this post ‘new look, same great taste!’, but that would’ve been just weird. In case you didn’t get the memo or haven’t been there for a while or !gasp!, ever, Simply Timeless Photography has a brand new shiny website, complete with a blog! So its no surprise to you that I absolutely LOVE Kortnee and Ted. Can I just say, this is a much better representation of the work they do. The love and passion that they put into their work is incredible. The design, the attention to detail, understanding the little things count just as much, if not more than the big things, it all comes together to create some of the most incredible works of art this side of the Renaissance! So, for the first time ever, I’m going to ask you to stop reading my blog and check out their site. But please, by all means come back!

This is probably my favorite picture of them. This is actually a still of video taken from the Trash at the Taste we did together. Kortnee was on Ted’s shoulders to get the sweet shots during the crowd surf. Can you say ‘Rock Stars’?

This was certainly a wedding that everyone will be talking about years from now! Dan and Amanda were without a doubt one of the greatest couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I remember interviewing Dan for the Same Day Edit and I could barely hold it together. Seriously Dan, have you ever thought of doing stand up? Amanda comes in to do her part and gives the most heart warming story of their engagement and love for each other, there wasn’t a dry eye in the place when it was shown during dinner. Music Hall was incredibly beautiful that night. Everything about this wedding was done exceptionally well from the flowers and decor Courtenay Lambert designed to the cake that was four feet tall. Yes, I said FOUR FEET TALL, but hey when your last name is Busken, are you going to settle for anything less? Johnny Clueless was there to keep the place going all night long and did a GREAT job of that! Brad from Photosmith was there to capture the day’s events in elegant ways! The whole event was meticulously planned and wonderfully executed by Julie of i-do Weddings & Events. Please enjoy their trailer!

The planets certainly aligned on this one! Jenny and Casey were INCREDIBLE to work with, very fun, very laid back and very much in love. Drees Pavilion was the setting on the beautiful first day of June. The weather was extraordinary and so was the wedding thanks to the incredible Dora Manuel with Viva Bella Events! The bridesmaids were so much fun to work with and gave me some really great footage at the reception where everyone’s favorite amphibian DJ Toad was at the helm making sure everyone was having a GREAT time! Jenny, the bridesmaids and the moms wore an incredible glow thanks to Kelly with Cinci Makeup! Rachel Waring of Living Photography was also there to capture the moments frame by frame! And the guests were all invited to this wonderful event thanks to the beautiful artistry of Amy Owens of Amo Ink. Please enjoy their trailer!

So yesterday being Father’s Day I thought I’d get you up to speed with what Mya is doing. After all, she is the one that makes it possible for me to celebrate this holiday! She’s just over 13 months now! New words are finding their way into her vocabulary, she is now taking more and more steps by herself, and she’s now a certified daddy’s girl. I’m not exactly sure what that means, but she is definitely a daddy’s girl. Maybe she really means it when she looks up at me with her arms outstretched and lets out a little cry or maybe she’s far more advanced and she’s workin’ ol’ dad over in hopes for that new car when she turns 16. I guess I’ll never know the answer to that one, but I’m just going to sit back and enjoy the ride! She’s experiencing new firsts every single day and testing the boundaries of her independence. No longer does she want to be fed, no no! She’s insisting on feeding herself whether its a peach, a banana, a pancake or even yesterday’s snow cone. Forget the Gerber stages, she’s moved on to the real deal! So anyway I thought I’d share a few pictures with you, including this first one which probably is my favorite. This one goes back to the beginning and was taken at the hospital just two days after she was born!

Here she is showing off her new ability of standing and drinking at the same time!

And here she is in her new swimming pool!

I was really looking forward to their wedding since we initially met and even more so since working with them to produce their Save the Date trailer. They were always so much fun to be around, especially when Mitch would crack a joke and Joanna would roll her eyes and ask him to be serious for ‘five minutes’. The wedding day was no different! Joanna was radiating a glow that only a bride can on her wedding day during the preparations at her parents home. Her entire family was so nice and made me feel at home the entire day. Heidi McKenna was there bright and early to make sure everyone looked beautiful and that the inner radiance showed on the surface! Rachel from Rocket Tree was my photographic counterpart and this was actually our first time working together and I truly hope it will not be our last! Joanna looked incredible that day as she walked down the isle to her smiling groom. As they read their personal vows they had written to each other, I’m sure there wasn’t a dry eye from anyone who was able to hear the words that were being shared. It truly was a beautiful day where two beautiful people began their lives together. Please enjoy their trailer!
