Great couple this weekend	Can't Post

Haven't been posting much lately, but I've been lurking (I hate that term).
I worked with a great couple this weekend. They were honest and natural storytellers and they really opened up to me. It was such a pleasure listening to them. I posted a trailer for them on my blog.

This is also the start of my blog. Hopefully, I can keep adding to it.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the wedding season.

Take care.

Bill

That was real nice Bill. Wish I could get my couples to sit down and do something like that. Makes for a much more interseting film.

A well composed piece and nicely edited Bill.

Those people were "revealing" and really didn't hold much back. Not sure I understand the 'divorce" dialog in that thing. Was he married before or was he referring to a temporary breakup with his bride?

I'm lucky to get my couples to reveal their favorite color. Laugh

Hi Bill,

Fabulous work. You really captured the essence of who the couple are and why they are getting married. I enjoyed the parent's reflections also.

We do wedding stories also and then show a Same Day Edit as part of the presentation.

Many examples are on our blog www.BiographyStories.com

Once again---a great piece of video!!

i echo a concern there. the next shot after he was talking about divorce was an adult whom I assumed was one of his parents. maybe, maybe not, and perhaps it isn't and the viewer will know.

overall, made me tear up. makes me think about my lady.

Thanks for watching.

Dustin's parents were divorced and at the same time he and April were dating, his mother decided to move to Michigan.
This had a profound impact on him.
He is so close with both parents and was struggling with the idea of moving to Michigan to be with his mother and her side of the family. This of course would separate him from April who, although he was madly in love with her since high school, he was having trouble committing to her.
Witnessing his parents, whom he saw as indestructible up until then, break up made him second guess his own ability lo love.

Overcoming that fact was a huge part of how their relationship developed. All of their family members know exactly what they were going through and supported them both.

They all think the world of them. Now I do too.

Take care.
Bill

I really enjoyed that Bill. In fact, I can't get enough of what you do. The power of audio in your videos is awesome. I wish the other "New Doc" people would post some of what they're doing.

Thanks Dan.

I always keep a watch out for work posted by those guys. I know Watson will post a lot on Vimeo and Jones' stuff turns up on Wedfact.tv.

I'd love to see more from all of them too as well as others. The work really inspires me and gets me motivated.
