A Beautiful, Mendocino, Vintage Wedding Video

James Burkart loves making great wedding films, because they make him happy. He says on his website that when he delivers a finished wedding film, and later hears from the bride and groom how much they laughed and cried while watching their wedding day unfold before them, "It lightens my heart."

He's also on a mission to let today's brides and grooms know that wedding videography has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis from the way too long, poorly produced, 3 hour videos from the past. Now, videography is sleek and sophisticated and if you make the investment to hire a true professional (like James), your finished trailer (aka hightlights) video can look like a beautifully produced music video. James believes a full length wedding video should make you think "cinematography," not "home movie."

Before the wedding ceremony Wendy took a moment to hold Jason's ring. It's a poignant moment and the perfect prelude to the video of the ceremony itself...

If you love watching happy brides and grooms, watch this highlight video when you have the time and can turn your speakers on. I love the song chosen to accompany the footage and even though it's only 3 minutes and 55 seconds long it tells the story of Wendy and Jason's wedding day with plenty of emotion, style and class.

Congratulations to both of you! Anyone can see that your day was special, beautiful and full of love.
