We have just completed editing the promo video we created for our good friends at Randall Photography
The video was filmed some months ago in an old victorian swimming baths in Manchester with the subject being 'A Pre Wedding Shoot' of one of Stewart's up coming Wedding's. The idea was to show how much fun a pre wedding shoot can be and also how important they are in preparing the Bride and Groom for the wedding day photography. As you can see from the video it really is a fun way of easing you into getting comfortable with having your photo's taken and getting used to your photographers style of direction.
Randall Photography and Lenik Wedding Films have also teamed up to offer special discounted rates if you book both of us to film and photograph your wedding. We are offering a 10% discount on both our prices. Please call for more details.
Make sure you check out Randall Photography's website and blog as their work is really impressive.
The IOV (Institute of Videography) announced the winners of their annual awards on 14th October
at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry. The IOV Awards cover six key areas of video production, namely Best Corporate, Best Wedding Day Film, Best Documentary, Best Film, Best Music Video and Best Open - and are freely open to all IOV members.
In addition, a new award was introduced this year for Best Overall Production. Lenik Wedding Films of Leeds won the 'Highly Commended Award' in the Open category against extremely tough competition. With over 1,000 members throughout Europe, the IOV Awards has fast become the leading showcase of talent in professional videography and attracts sponsorship from the leading manufacturers and suppliers to the industry.
Presented by former Tomorrow’s World star, Maggie Philbin, the Oscar-style ceremony took place alongside the IOV’s Annual Convention held in the Jaguar Halls at the Ricoh Arena,Coventry. Almost all the short-listed entrants were in attendance, and as the final running order is not announced until the night it creates a wonderfully exciting atmosphere for all participants.
Their entry, Laura's Wedding Dream, was one of only five short-listed titles within the Open category – which is a significant achievement in itself. Judges were not only looking for exceptional video production standards, but also originality and creative flair which demonstrate the value to customers of commissioning a professional videographer. Lenik Wedding Films are tremendously proud of their achievement in the IOV Awards and look forward to the additional exposure that IOV Award winners receive each year. IOV Administrator, Kevin Cook, commented on Lenik Wedding Films award, “The IOV Awards get tougher and tougher each year as the general standards in video production rise. To win an IOV Award is a significant accomplishment indeed. I’m really pleased for Lenik Wedding Films and hope that this achievement will generate more commissions for them in the coming year.”
Just finished putting Alex & Sarah's wedding video together. Here is the brides prep section for you all to enjoy. Sarah and Alex loved the edited version. Sarah makes for a stunning Bride so wasn't very hard to make her look good!
Let me know what you think. Will be adding a couple more of her wedding video sections in the next few days.
Something a bit different for todays blog post. Im lucky enough to be part of an amazing Photograpahers Network run and hosted by Randall Photography. The network consists of like mided UK wedding photographers from all over the UK. I'm the only wedding videographer in the network, which means is a bit of a honour to be invited into it.
This was the first major meet-up of the network members and gave everyone an opportunity to get to know each other and discuss issues such as marketing, new tips and techniques etc.....for me it gave me a chance to get handy with my Canon 5D Mark 2.
It was a great day and night out in Blackpool and will be remembered for a long time to come. We manged to drink a lot, shoot/film some great shots of Blackpool lights and the beach.
If anybody needs any recommendations for photographers please ask me as there are over 20 amazing photographers in the Randall Network who I can put you in touch with.
