Danielle + Jon: Trash the Same Day Edit at the Savannah Center
Two of my favorite things to produce are Same Day Edits and Trash the Dress films, both are incredibly unique and fun to create! Danielle and Jon chose to do a Same Day Edit, where I produce a highlight of the day’s events from the preparations to the pre-ceremony and the ceremony itself and even parts of the reception that is shown during dinner. That in itself is always an amazing experience for the guests. They also wanted to do a Trash the Dress, where we produce these incredible images of the bride and groom in situations you wouldn’t normally expect to see them.
So I said, why not combine them to give the illusion that the Danielle and Jon actually trashed the dress and tux between the ceremony and reception. We shot the trash session last month and once again, Kortnee and Ted from Simply Timeless Photography were there to capture some beautiful art. The pictures can be seen on their site.
There was a packed house at their reception on Saturday night anxiously awaiting the film on the big screen. No one knew about the trash session with exception of Danielle and Jon so it was a really cool surprise. This was by far my favorite Same Day Edit and the response from their guests was incredibly overwhelming. I wanted to share it with you and I hope you enjoy!

Drumroll…..
Notice anything different around here? Check it out! New logo, site, and blog! I really wanted to change things up here a bit to coincide with our move into the world of High Definition! Yep, we’re now filming everything in High Definition, and I couldn’t be more excited about it! Vivid colors, stunning clarity and widescreen format. We’ve actually been filming in HD for about a month now and you’ll start to see the new films hitting the blog soon, very soon! Check back later, I have something really sweet to share with you!
Many thanks to Greg with Raewell Graphics for the incredible job he did designing the new logo and marketing materials.
Comments (7)Glass Eye Update!
Alright, I’ll admit it, my blogging hasn’t been as frequent as I’d like it to be, but I wanted to give you an update about what’s going on here at GEV!
First of all, we’ve been selected by Style Me Pretty to be featured in their Little Black Book! This is a HUGE honor as they only select a few of the best in each city. How sweet is that!?!?! I’m in GREAT company too, with the likes of Viva Bella Events, TM Photography, and Simply Timeless Photography! The book is also filled with a ton of my Internationally known friends too! To be categorized with these companies is unbelievable!
Secondly, I got to shoot a wedding with Patrick Moreau of Still Motion, the super star of wedding cinematography and one of the Top 25 in the world! It was a real honor and an amazing experience to work side by side with him and Konrad in Columbus. I’ll share the trailer as soon as its available.
As if all that wasn’t enough, I’m moving into a new studio in a few weeks! Super sweet space that we are going to completely overhaul and I’ve got a couple things up my sleeve for it.
And lastly, there are some major changes coming to Glass Eye Video that we can’t wait to share. I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag just yet, but stay tuned!
Comments (5)The Greatest ‘Thank You’ Ever!!!!!!
So I open my front door on Monday to an unexpected package from UPS, the return address is the parents of the bride I had the pleasure of filming a couple weeks ago. Inside the box, was without a doubt the greatest ‘thank you’ I’ve ever received, its an antique movie projector, complete with movies and its fully operational! Crazy eh?! The movies that came with it were in their original boxes that had yellowed, dried out scotch tape holding them together. I couldn’t believe my eyes! Along with this amazing gift was an INCREDIBLE letter thanking me for doing such a great job with the Same Day Edit and for being such a pleasure to work with! A simple ‘thank you’ is always good to hear, but for Treva and Dan to take the time to find this and think of me, really means so much! I can’t wait to move into my new studio in November and this will certainly have a home there, next to the framed letter that came along with it!
Comments (3)Bitter Bridesmaid Bash!
Yes! Its that time of year when all the bridesmaid dresses find their way out of mothballs and plastic bags and head down to Covington for a GREAT cause!!! Kenzie’s Closet provides these dresses to economically disadvantaged high school girls to wear for prom.
The second annual bash will be held on Thursday Sept. 25th, beginning with registration at 6pm at The Bridal Studio, followed by the infamous Bar Crawl from 7-10 including The Avenue Lounge, Backstage Cafe, Clique Lounge, Deadwood, & Keefer’s Irish Pub. Each bar will also have drink specials for those in the Bash, and transportation will be provided for those that don’t want to walk. Then we head back to The Avenue Lounge for some super sweet prizes and everyone’s favorite amphibian, DJ Toad. Changing stations will be available and the first 100 will receive a t-shirt and a gift bag at the end of the night. For more information or to RSVP, email: bbbash@the-bridal-studio.com. See ya there!

Seems like yesterday…..
….When I started my internship at the television station and ultimately met the person that would become my wife. Crazy how time flies! Stop me if you’ve heard this one before but Reagan and I actually met at the station where she was in marketing and I was just a wee intern. We found out very early that we went to the same high school, graduated a year apart from each other. Grew up within a mile or two of each other and heck, our dads even went to high school together. This was the summer of 2002 and we’ve been together ever since! Six years later, we’ve been married four of them, brought the most beautiful child into the world, yeah that’s right, she’s the most beautiful child in the entire world! I have the certificate to prove it! So today is our four year anniversary and Reagan is the best wife anyone could ever ask for and yes I have a certificate to prove that too! She helps keep me grounded when I need it most and she’s the first one there to pick me up when I need a boost. I wouldn’t change a thing and I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Not only is she incredibly beautiful, she’s also incredibly smart and a great mother! What more could a guy ask for! Oh yeah, Reagan……..I kinda broke the glass of the frame getting this picture out. Sorry! Photo credit goes to Nicole C. Photography!
