My Story & a Promotion from PixMixStorybooks.com

March 14, 2009 by videonpros

PixMixStorybooks.com & Videon Productions

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. 

Happily Ever After Photography
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

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.

Strong Advice from Brides: WEVA.com survey

January 6, 2009 by videonpros

Katie & Dan's Wedding

Katie & Dan's Wedding

(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…..

Here now, gone tomorrow

July 8, 2008 by videonpros

I was in Iowa June 6-7-8  to videotape a wedding. It was there that I met the most genuine people in the world.  I would describe Iowans as clear-headed, kind, curious, hard-working, and value driven.  Their distractions included BBQ’s, park concerts, family, church, the weather, and the like.  When I departed Iowa on Sunday, June 8 to head back to the Twin Cities, Ken and I maneuvered our way through the encroaching waters and of what would become the flood of all floods to Iowans. My heart goes out to those who suffer.  My heart gives thanks to those who shared a piece of yourself with my camera. To the people of Iowa, I salute you.  (Footnote: the bride and groom spent the day after their wedding sandbagging.)
