Videon Productions filmed the Cities 97 Sampler Release Party, a major fund raising event for charity, at Bayview Event Center on Lake Minnetonka. This annual event is held to thank the artists, sponsors, and listeners who generously support the creation of this one of a kind music CD sold as a limited release through Target Stores in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Proceeds are then distributed to various Minnesota charities and Volume 21 will raise over $600 K!


The annual Polar Ice Dive was held on January 1, 2010 at the Bayview Event Center in Excelsior! The -4 degree temperature didn’t deter over 1200 Minnesotans from jumping into the 30 degree waters of Lake Minnetonka! Videon Productions was there to capture video footage for Bayview Event Center! Carpe diem!

Share YOUR stories with me!  Here’s mine……Ken & I are video producers at Videon Productions, who have been archiving family histories, cultures and milestones on video since 1985.  We have a discreet eye for creative details, capturing the essence of an event on video and a genuine interest in connecting with families and businesses to tell a story.

We travel, cook, play golf, run a small business, ride motorcycles–enjoy birds & boating, Minnesota lakes, California sunsets, Hawaiian luaus, Spanish tapas, wine and time spent with family & friends–who make us laugh.

Family Yearbooks

With all the traveling we do, our closets were quickly filling up with plastic bins of old photographs and videos. My computer was also over run with hundreds of folders of digital photos.  Afraid of losing my memories, as a friend of mine did during a power outage, I began organizing my mementos and writing down the stories.

It was at a WEVA Convention in Las Vegas, that we were drawn to a simple, yet high quality online storybooking system, that allows us to archive our photos and stories in books, thus, the makings of our own library!
We do not have children, so our nieces & nephews will inherit our memories–instead of passing along the photo boxes, CDs, videos and computer hard drives (which I doubt they will ever look at), we will now have a library of books to pass along to them to read and remember Ken and I.

(Quotes courtesy of http://weva.com)
If there’s one thing brides today can agree on, it’s that future brides should have their weddings videotaped.  (2006)  The numbers go up in today’s economy, with the importance placed not on things, but on memories and legacies.
The results of this cross section of brides from across the country, showed that 98% of surveyed newlyweds recommended that brides have their weddings videotaped. 
Interestingly, brides don’t fully appreciate the value of video until after the wedding.  Before the wedding, only a little more than half of surveyed brides considered video a “Top 10″ service in comparison to other wedding related services. However, after the wedding, that number climbs to 75%!
Brides say video does a better job of capturing the emotions of the day, records the history of the day, and they strongly feel that future children will enjoy their wedding video more that their wedding photographs…professionals are a must!
When asked: “If you had a choice between looking at your granparent’s wedding photos or their wedding video, which would you choose?”  61% of these upscale brides ($30,000+) said they would rather see the video.  (500 brides were telephoned & interviewed)
Don’t let another moment with a professional pass you by…..

Red Letter Wedding Day members celebrated the end of summer with a champagne-limousine ride and dinner at the Chateau St. Croix Winery in St. Croix Falls, WI.  We began the celebration at Fleur de Lis with chocolates, wine and music by Kristen Solberg; experienced a glorious limousine ride, compliments of Renee’s Royal Valet; enjoyed champagne and sweets by Buttercream; arrived and toured Chateaux St. Croix Winery; savored wine and ate a delicious dinner created by Justin Grecco of Grecco’s in St. Croix Falls. A delightful evening had by all! Thank you. See you in 2009! http://redletterweddingday.com
