Week of April 23

Our weekend was quite busy.  James was at Freeport High School taping Lisa Marie’s Dance Recital.  There were two shows on Saturday and one on Sunday.   Tracy helped a fellow videographer and taped a wedding at St. Bartholomew’s church in Crabtree.  We also did a tribute video for Patrick Lanigan Funeral Home.

Recent Wedding Testimonials

Here are two testimonials that we recently received.

“Kevin and I received our wedding videos. They were amazing!!! Thank you so much for all of your hard work. We loved it! We can’t wait to show it to our family and friends! Thanks again. We will most definitely recommend you.”

Mary Jo Kerr (bride)

“James, the DVD arrived yesterday and we love it!! You are truly an artist. This has exceeded all our expectations. Please let us know if we can help you promote your business (via testimonials, etc.).
One question: there are several scenes where we’d love to have still photos. People we don’t have any other pictures of. How should we go about identifying these, and getting copies from you? Thanks again, and hello to Tracy.”

All the best, Dave and Rosalie (bride & groom)

Not Just Weddings and Sports…

Although weddings and sports seem to consume most of our time, we often find ourselves doing other services.  We recently shot for an engineering firm for documentation of the transporting of their water pump station through Sewickley Borough. Documentation was needed to verify possible damage to sidewalks and residential property.

Speakers often need promotional materials to market their product or service.  Bob Stearns of Extraordinary Performance required our service at the Doubletree Greentree.  We will create from his presentation DVDs for sale and promotional clips for his website.

Added into our normal editing work week, we’ve also been busy with several slide transfers.

We enjoy sports and weddings, but it’s nice to change direction once in a while.

“Annie Get Your Gun”

We had the pleasure of videotaping the Belle Vernon High School Musical, “Annie Get Your Gun” on Saturday, March 17th.  There were some very talented students who took part in the musical, including a freshman, who played Annie.  All of the students who participated did a fantastic job!

Testimonial from Stephanie & Michael

Tracy and James exceeded any expectation that we had for our wedding video.  They are true professionals that really do care about their clients!  Our video was absolutely amazing!  The amount of detail that was put in to the edits to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments was remarkable.  Tears were definitely shed as the perfect blend of video mixed with our song choices was brought to life in front of us.  We have watched the video at least five times (and we’ve only had it for a week)!  We will forever have the wedding video to remind us of the wonderful event and we only have Tracy and James to thank for that!  The video was more than worth it and we would recommend the Sanders to anyone who would listen!

Congratulations to both the Penn Trafford girls and boys basketball teams for winning their sections!  This is the second year in a row that the Lady Warriors won their section.  Both teams defeated  Norwin on Friday night.  Playoffs will start this weekend.  Good luck to both of our teams!

Kori Edge just booked her wedding with us for August 18th.  We are looking forward to being a part of her special day.

Cinderella Ball 2012

We had the honor of, once again, taping the Cinderella Ball at the Omni William Penn on January 28th.  There were 20 debutantes this year.  It was a very elegant evening and we were happy to be a part of it.

We traveled to Cleveland to do a training shoot for PNC bank on January 26th.  We have also done several tribute DVDs for the two funeral homes that we are involved with, Jobe Funeral Home and Lanigan Funeral Home.

The Penn Trafford Lady Warrior basketball team has had wins against Franklin, Gateway and Hempfield.  It looks like the girls will be going to the playoffs for sure!  It is senior night for both the girls and the boys teams tomorrow evening, the 7th.

Last, but not least, we taped some footage from the Cavanaugh bridal show that was held in Pittsburgh.

Interview of Pitt Magazine Senior Editor

We had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Mr. Ervin Dyer, senior editor for Pitt Magazine.  He had nominated Mr. Wallace Houston Terry for honors with the National Association for Black Journalists. Mr. Terry was the first black war correspondent on permanent duty during the Vietnam War.

We traveled to Clairton High School to shoot the latest Teen Zone TV episode, which focuses on bullying in the schools.

The last 2 weeks have been busy with quite a few basketball games.  It’s been an amazing couple of weeks for the Penn Trafford boys team, as they had 4 section wins over Connellsville, Latrobe, Norwin and Hempfield.  The Penn Trafford girls team won big over Laurel Highlands, Norwin and Latrobe.

We recently booked several weddings for 2012.  We are very excited to be a part of the Dinga, Decker and Sklarsky weddings!

Two Holiday Weddings

We want to congratulate our bride & groom, Jenny & Trent Zempel, who were married on December 27th. They had a beautiful ceremony and reception at Bella Sera.  We also send out congratulations to another one of our couples, Tiffany & Dave Yarkuboskey, who celebrated their marriage on December 31st. Tiffany & Dave had a lovely ceremony at Old Mahoning Baptist Church.  They rang in the New Year, along with their many guests at 10th Street Station in Ford City.  We wish our two new couples a lifetime of happiness together!

We were out on December 28th taping the Penn Trafford girls in the Hempfield tournament against Greensburg Salem.  The Lady Warriors played a tight game, but eventually triumphed over the Golden Lions.
