Kristin came to us and was so excited with Kevin and Kate’s Teaser, that she wanted just that. So that only gave us about 3 minutes to tell the entire story of their wedding. I think the video does a fantastic job capturing the best moments of their day.

Kristin and Matt were married at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Downtown Denver. After the ceremony we got to hang out with them downtown for a photo and cinema shoot. We only were around for Kristin and Matt’s grand entrance into their reception at the Brown Palace but the wedding reception looked like a huge party!

Kristin and Matt are an awesome and fun couple; I’m glad we got a chance to be a part of their wedding!

Kevin + Kate

Here is a short video teaser of Kevin and Kate’s wedding film. Everything was so perfect at this wedding, we had a great time filming it. They got ready at the Brown Palace during the late morning before meeting at the Denver Federal Building for their “First Look.” Hundreds of friends and family members gathered at the Church of the Good Shepherd to see them exchange vows. Look for the complete highlight video of their wedding film to be posted soon!

A beautiful Winter wedding in Colorado: Paul and Mallory

The day started out earlier in the morning at the Applauze Salon where Mallory and her bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done. This was one of the first wedding films that we’ve covered the bride and groom getting ready and I think it adds a tremendous amount to the story in their wedding film. I now highly recommend that couples add an extra couple of hours so that we can capture the fun moments while they are getting ready.

The girls at the salon did a terrific job getting Mallory and her bridesmaids ready. After a short break, everyone met up at the St. Mark Catholic Church where Mallory put her dress on and Paul met with his groomsmen to put on their jackets and boutonnieres. All of that preparation was captured in their wedding film because before they knew it, the ceremony had begun and completed.

Immediately following the end of the ceremony, the guests made their way to the Legacy Ridge Golf Course. It was a tight fit with the number of friends and family that came to see Paul and Mallory, but there was just enough room for everything. Legacy Ridge prepared a mouthwatering meal and A Cake Occasion baked an incredible looking cake. DJ Michael D set the mood for the festivities and the party stayed alive late into the night.

Corrie Brockman of CLB Photography created a truly amazing photo album of a very happy couple. Best wishes to Paul and Mallory, and enjoy the wedding film highlight video above.

Toshi and Danielle were married on a cool winter evening in the tropical atmosphere set by the Butterfly Pavilion. They currently both live in Japan, but traveled back to the United States for their wedding. They planned to have a second reception in Japan for their friends and family who live there.

A harpist provided beautiful music to the already stunning atmosphere. Guests, who traveled from as far away as Japan and England, sat and stood to watch Toshi and Danielle become husband and wife in front of a beautiful pond. Their wedding ceremony only last about 15 minutes, but they each exchanged long, intimate vows. Before their first kiss, Toshi and Danille released a basket of butterflies (who were reluctant to leave the basket).

This is a highlight video of an Essential Style Ceremony package.

Michael and Andrea’s wedding was an incredible, fairy tale, destination wedding and produced some amazing video. I was lucky enough to make it out of town during our spring blizzard, but not before spending one night in the airport with my bags and video cameras. Once we took off from Denver and landed in California, it was all sunshine.

The ceremony was held under a gazebo next to the Disneyland Hotel. Chairs for the 40 or so guests were setup on the grass and the entire wedding venue was surrounded by heges for privacy. The late day wedding had the sun lower in the sky; the entire wedding party was able to be in the shade (making for great video).

After the ceremony and pictures, the guests were ushered to another part of the courtyard for the Disneyland Hotel and where tables and chairs were setup for a cockatail hour. The reception was located just a few seconds away, up some steps, just inside the hotel on the second floor. A large, round ballroom with plenty of windows set the mood for this incredible destination wedding reception. I’m very excited to put together their final wedding film and share the highlight video with everyone.

If you’re looking for an exciting place to have your destination wedding and would like a fairy tale theme, then there is no better place than the Disneyland Hotel.

8 Days, 3 different Destinations

Besides traveling to Southern California for the destination wedding, I also was in St. Louis and Holland this past week. St. Louis is home to the largest haunted house convention in the world and I was asked to record some video of the convention for the upcoming Travel Channel special: America Haunts. The videography that we recorded for them should air sometime in October.

After leaving St. Louis, I returned to Denver for 1 night before heading to Holland. I was out there for a short vacation and was able to do some sight seeing. Architecture is amazing out there and I was able to see some amazing churches while in The Netherlands. Unfortunately I didn’t have a video camera with me, but I will post some pictures from Holland in a few days.

Its been a fun, but tiring 8 days and I’ll be glad to return to my normal life and get back to editing video.

The cover of this month's 303 Magazine that Tye Olmsted of Denver Wedding Films was interviewed in.

How to Make Your Wedding an Internet Sensation

303 Magazine has put together a wedding section for their March issue and I was asked to provide some input on the subject as a wedding videography expert. I was interviewed by writer Jacob Cottingham several months ago about about how to make your wedding an internet sensation. I provided some insight as to what makes a popular wedding video that can become a viral phenomenon.

In my experience, as I describe in the article, short videos that mix humor and romantic moments are the best not only for creating a viral video, but for creating the most impact with our wedding couples. Wedding videos less than 5 minutes long are essential to capture your audience, especially for the internet. If it goes longer then that: people will just lose interest.

I also mentioned that music videos are becoming popular as an addition or alternative to the typical wedding video. Couples can choose a favorite song and their videographer will capture video of guests dancing and lip syncing the lyrics to the song through the wedding day. It can be a fun look at your guests and Denver Wedding Films offers music videos as an extra feature or a standalone video for your wedding film. See more about our music videos on our Unique Wedding Film Addons Page.

Until now, if you wanted additional copies of your wedding film, you would have to call us and order additional copies. We are now excited to offer an unlimited copies license for only $100. This will give you a license to make unlimited copies of your wedding film! No more hassle of ordering additional copies from us. Also, if you order this license, we’ll give you a usb flash drive containing an image file of your wedding film so that you can burn copies straight from that. You won’t be bothered with having to copy from a DVD.

Other videographers make you pay $20 or more for additional copies of their wedding videos. For a one time licensing fee, you can make additional copies of your wedding film in seconds, for free!

Additional Copies Ordered from Us

If you choose not to buy the unlimited copies license or if you would like to have additional copies with high quality printing, you can still order copies of your wedding  film from us. DVD prices are now just $10 and Blu-rays are $20 (plus sales tax and shipping). Other videographers still charge $20 or more for extra DVD copies and $30 or more for extra Blu-ray copies.

This is just another innovative idea that makes Denver Wedding Films the top wedding filmmaker in Colorado.
