What’s Hot in Nashville Weddings? Same Day Wedding Highlights, Cinematic Memories
Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Today’s blog was written by Cassandra, ABG’s newest bridal blogger. She is also a Nashville bride-to-be and writes from her unique perspective! Read more about Cassandra’s here.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Lynette of McNeal Wedding Films {formerly known as McNeal Video}. She is wonderful and very passionate about what she does. It was quite interesting to hear what she had to say. My first question to her was all about the exciting name change.
1. What made you want to change the name of the company?
Nowadays, when shooting a wedding, it has become more about making a film surrounding the big day rather than shooting a video. Each of our videos is customized from the music in the film to the movie poster for each couple. It’s about giving the couple what they want and feel that they need. We wanted the company name to reflect what we do and the commitment we make to every couple.
2. What’s new for brides in terms of wedding films for 2010?
Same Day Edits are finally making their way to the east coast. They are all ready popular on the west coast in places like California! It’s a great concept, and we are excited to start offering it to our couples. Essentially, highlights from the day {the getting ready, the ceremony, etc.} will be shown at the reception for all the guests to see.
3. Why should brides choose you?
We spend a lot of time editing the footage from every couple’s special day, which makes them quite entertaining to watch. Our films are also timeless so that ten to twenty years you don’t have to worry about looking back and wondering, “Why did I do that?” Plus, we offer customization for all our bride and grooms based on their personalities. This includes everything from the soundtrack that is played in tandem with film, to a movie poster that has a name reflective of the bride and groom. As if that wasn’t enough, we also give you two ceremony videos; an abridged version and a full-length version. This is important because not everyone wants to watch your entire ceremony. Additionally, the team is made up of all women; so, we have a keen eye for all the important details that the bride spends hours prepping for her big day.
4. What’s your favorite wedding video? Why?
It’s hard to pick just one video. They’re all my favorite. My lastes edit is usually my favorite until I edit the next:). It is so rewarding to complete the film and give it to the couple. Their reactions are priceless, always. {Enjoy the detailed story of Natalie & Michael and then see their video below,}
5. Why do you think filming weddings is so important?
A wedding film is so much more than a photograph. With a film, you can relive a moment without having to remember how you got there. It gives you the complete experience! With a photograph, you can’t hear what’s being said or happening. That’s why you need film; it adds a whole other dimension and level of emotion. {see the difference here}In addition to gaining all this information, I learned that the logo has special meaning behind, which I thoroughly enjoyed but you’ll have to visit the McNeal Wedding Films blog to learn about it yourself….
