Great Wall Proposal|St.Paul Wedding

Hi Ken and Terri,
I have been meaning to write to you for awhile now. WE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE WEDDING VIDEO!!! It is absolutely a class act. You both put together a lovely picture and story of our day. We sent our parents a copy and they were delighted with it.
I got a bottle of champagne for the viewing event and we watched the video with huge smiles on our faces. I really loved all of the interviews, such a great treasure to have.
Thanks again, so much. Laura and Paolo

    Wedding Event Videographers Association 2008

     

    Ken Kurita, Chairman of the Special Awards Committee, gave an outstanding presentation at WEVA this year in Orlando. You should have seen the incredible work being performed by videographers around the world. Yes, the world!  Videographers from the Philippines were star performers! The world of video is changing rapidly with new media delivery methods, iPodcasting and HD video. We are excited to be offering this to you! We also reconnected with some of the best film videographers in the country-Jenny Lehman, Brett Culp, David Robin, David Perry, Kris Malandruccolo, Al Nauman, Mark and Trisha Von Lanken, Steve and Laura Moses, Chris Chibucos…too many to name.  What a great opportunity!  Also, everyone is getting in on the Facebook thing.  It’s a good communication tool!  Let us know if you’d like to learn more about the world of videography and WEVA.com.

    Thank you ‘Happily Ever After Photography ‘for bringing our picture up-to-date!
