Oregon Bride Magazine's "Best Wedding Videographer 2011" 2011-06-30

We’re extremely happy to report that for the third consecutive year Focal Point Digital Media has been voted “Best Wedding Videographer” by the readers of Oregon Bride magazine! Additionally, we were one of three finalists for the top prize of “Best All Around Wedding Vendor,” an honor which we won in 2010. Thank you SO very much to our brides, their families, friends, and fans that voted!! We absolutely appreciate the support of every one of you!

This year’s Best of Bride party was packed, and it was a blast. Held in downtown Portland’s park blocks at the Oregon Historical Society, it was wall to wall vendors, brides and friends and was so fun to be a part of! In addition to being announced as the winner, another big highlight was this year’s bridal fashion show featuring recent brides modeling their own gowns... including Corree, one of our own brides from last year! The Best of Bride party is always one of the best parts of our summer and since it’s open to the public be sure to come next year and cheer on your faves!

Each year the Best of Bride Awards are determined exclusively by the voting of Oregon Bride’s readers. The brand new “Best of 2011” magazine issue featuring all the winners was released at the party and hits newsstands next week, so be sure to check it out! Oregon Bride magazine is the leading bridal publication in the area, with a readership of 95,000 per issue. A full listing of the 2011 Best of Bride winners is also available online by clicking here.

Lastly, a huge congratulations to our many good friends who were honored as well, a partial list of whom included venues Skamania Lodge, Youngberg Hill, Zenith Vineyard and Abernethy Center, wedding coordinators Blush Bridal Consulation Group, Stargazer Weddings, SHE Designs and With This Ring Wedding & Event Consultation, invitation designers Paper Bloom and Red Pearl Designs, Willaby’s Catering, and hair/makeup artists Face Body Beauty and Powder Inc. by Nicole Wagner.

Vanessa & Dex’s Trailer at Youngberg Hill 2010-08-15

I’m not sure there could possibly be a better time of year to shoot in a vineyard than last week! Vanessa and Dex’s wedding at Youngberg Hill Vineyards & Inn was just absolutely gorgeous... from the natural lighting, to the grapes and green vines, to the wildflowers everywhere you looked, to the couple themselves and their wedding party. I absolutely love the portion of this trailer where Vanessa is on the swing in an old oak tree up above the vineyard, it’s easily one of my favorite images of the day... or of the 2010 season so far! =)

Vanessa chose an all-star lineup of vendors for her big day, including (count them) four 2010 Best of Oregon Bride award winners: ourselves, Mandi and her team with Champagne Wedding & Event Coordination, Ben and Laurel Powers of Powers Studios, and Jordan from Blüm - Design in Flowers. The mic and music that kept the party hopping was provided by Shawn and Neil with Event Team Entertainment. Congratulations Vanessa and Dex, and thank you for letting us be there to capture your wedding day!!

Sarah & Bobby's Oregon Cascades Wedding Sneak Peek 2010-08-16

Just a quick clip I wanted to share, taken directly from within Sarah and Bobby’s longer main feature. They were married on a midweek morning, before close family and friends along the North Santiam River in the foothills of Oregon’s Cascade range. To me, the amazing thing about this is how completely natural and genuinely happy the couple is... they had been married maybe 5 minutes, so it took essentially no coaxing to get the shots you’re seeing above, they were just doing what the felt. After 10 years together Sarah and Bobby were clearly thrilled to have tied the knot, and their just-married joy and affection made the moment exactly right for the cameras to roll! Although you won’t see her in this clip, my good friend Jenny of Jenny Hill Photography was there too, capturing beautiful still images of the same... check out her blog to see some of the shots. And as always, if you would like to see more of this or any other Focal Point wedding film, please contact us to set up a no-obligation consultation at our studio. We’d love to hear about what you have planned for your own wedding day and how we can be a part! (more...)

Corey & Aaron's Oregon Wedding Video Sneak Peek 2010-09-17

Want to see two of the genuinely happiest people you’ll come across? Want to see volleyball in a wedding dress? Want to see both at the same time? Then definitely check out this short clip from within Corey & Aaron’s larger wedding film, shot in the minutes immediately after the conclusion of their wedding ceremony... and their FIRST kiss! Their outdoor wedding took place at a private residence near Salem and a bit of rain (okay: a downpour!) did nothing to dampen their spirits, as you’ll plainly see when you look at their wedding film. Congratulations again Corey and Aaron!!

We had a great time on this wedding, and had the privilege of working with one of Eugene’s top photographers, Richard Roman of Richard Roman Photography. Check out his blog for some awesome still images of the day! And as always, if you would like to see more of this or any other full-length Focal Point wedding film, please contact us to set up a no-obligation consultation at our studio.

Megan and David’s is the first of three wedding video theatrical trailers that will be going up in three days, so come back again tomorrow for another fix. It’s Trailerpalooza 2010!!

Starting the day getting ready at The Nines Hotel, Megan and David made their way to Aberenthy Center for a beautiful outdoor wedding in Abigail’s Garden. We were part of a first rate team of wedding professionals that pitched in to make the day a success, including planning by Mandi with Champagne Wedding & Event Coordination, officiating by Beverly Mason with Radiant Touch Weddings and amazing still images by Craig Mitchelldyer.

Enjoy the video and stay tuned the next couple days for additional wedding preview trailers!
