One advantage too being in business as long as we have is referrals. This is our 2nd wedding with this awesome family. We shot Megan’s sister’s Jenny’s wedding last year and will shooting her other sister’s Sara’s wedding in March.
We wanted to showcase another member of the Lifetime team with this post too: Mark Fortner who join us back in 1995. Mark did a great job putting this together:
Meet Megan & Nick who were married at St. Micheal’s in Sharonville with a beautiful reception following at the Glendale Lyceum .
Mark and the Lifetime team were forced to put up with Bob White of White Photography
I’m teasing you Bob, because you owe me lunch:)
Special shout out to The Band Clueless (formerly known as Jonny Clueless) who rocked that night for all.
Enjoy,

Jessica & Chad have about 47 priceless moments captured in this production. These are moments you can not pose, they just happen and we happened to grab it and freeze it in time. Thanks to Dan Shallenberger for about half of these tender moments. WE LOVE OUR JOB!
Some of our favorites are in this opening/bridal prep: like Chad’s reaction to seeing Jessica in that first second, one of this year’s best!
This wedding was made even better by the fact that we got to work with a Don Moore from Kamara Art, Don and I go way back. Dan and I truly had a blast with you Don and your whole crew, we had too include you in this clip:)
Jess and Chad,
We’ll be delivering this one this week guys, thought you’d like a little sneak peek.
Enjoy,

P.S. Megan & Nick, you’re on deck!!!!

Sometimes it rains, sometimes it’s cloudy, but sometimes you’re lucky and just get one of those days… vibrant sunshine and rich blue skies. Maggie & Dave had one of those. It was gorgeous! Not too hot (well maybe a little), and a light breeze helping to keep everyone cooler.
I don’t always get the opportunity to capture the photo shoots on video, but when I do, it can turn out amazing! See, I don’t just shoot everyone standing there smiling. I say to myself, “myself, turn around!” That’s where the action is. And shooting with Michael Bambino guarantees a good time! I don’t think I’ve ever done so many high-fives in one day before.
Maggie and Dave, your photo shoot at St. Mary’s and Ault Park was a blast. Your wedding party was a blast. Your family was a blast. What a beautiful day! Your wedding edit is finished, but I wanted to give you a preview before you pick up your dvds.
Enjoy!
Dan

If you’re on the fence about having your wedding video taped, this may put you over. Whether or not Lifetime or any of the other fine videographers in Cincinnati shoot your day, you will want to remember these absolute gems time and again:
Meet Jill and Ryan from this past weekend November 1, 2008 at Manor House. Jill had that moment that a few of our brides have had: as soon as they start their vows a heavy blanket of emotions hits them like a ton of bricks and it’s hard to speak. Ryan was right there to comfort her with the line “I forgot the suitcases”. This was just enough to make Jill laugh and regain her composure.
A very sincere thank you to Kathy Lewis, the entire Lewis/Maynard and Class families for introducing me to the Welch/McAdams folks.
This is just a teaser of some the the awesome footage we captured.
Enjoy,

The biggest advantage to having Lifetime capture your day is teamwork. Although only 2-3 videographers may shoot your wedding you will have a team of our top editors creating your production. The Lifetime team meets a couple times a week to discuss what we’re working on, but too also throw out some really creative ideas.
Welp, the team blew me away last week with this idea:
Announcing “Groom of the Month” here on Lifecasting. Each month Lifetime is going to feature one groom who has the best reaction witnessing his bride come down the aisle. We actually had a VERY hard time deciding our first, we had quite a few to chose from.
Meet Randall. He had everyone here tearing up as he saw Maria for the first time that day. Watch the conversation between the two as she gets closer. Maria sees him and says “It’s OK”.
Randall mouths the words “Perfect” and she was:)
You two will be receiving a nice gift from the Lifetime staff for being featured this month, so congrats.
Enjoy,

I think your bridal party can make your production with Lifetime a better one. They’re just as much part of the day as you. I would say that 90% of the time we usually connect extremely well with a few members right away that leave their mark on your video forever.
The strongest for me on October 25th was one of the bride’s sisters Brittany. “I LOVE the camera” she told me “and it REALLY loves me”. She was right, love at first sight.
Brittnay’s wonderful voice opens this trailer with her version of “Going to the chapel”. I also got a GREAT shot of you Brittany watching your sister walked down the aisle.
The Lifetime team traveled north this past weekend to Dayton, Ohio to shoot Kim and Jermainne’s wedding. This was so much fun because there was always something to capture. BTW, tons of great shots from our newest team leader DB. Your camera work blew me away, very nice start with us. I’m so excited you’re on board!
Side note: You may wish to watch the groom’s reaction twice. Notice the groomsman behind Jermainne as he watches his words “I love you”.
Powerful stuff, I love it:)
enjoy,

OK, it’s official…I love this couple, Kat & Wes. I’m blogging about you again:)
Dan and I were chatting yesterday about the fact that we love emotional brides. And YES, it’s OK to cry on your wedding day….. they’re tears of joy. I think laughing and crying are the two greatest emotions to capture on film and they will happen a lot on your wedding day.
I am so proud to say that 20 years ago when we started, we RARELY saw a groom show much of any emotion at all….grooms were rocks back then. Now a days, we always getting something from the groom and I LOVE it. This is what makes this gig so much fun.
Wes didn’t cry, but he did have a awesome reaction, as you’ll see. Kat on the other hand… cried a little, after all she did marry the man of her dreams:)
I think they both had the greatest day of their lives as you’ll see in this highlight reel…..
Special shout out to my partner in crime Dan for the great camera work in several shots.

We have had more couples giving gifts or a message to each other right before the wedding than ever before. DO THIS, it’s really fun and guys you DO NOT have to spend a ton of money. It can be as simple as a card or a note or maybe keys to a new Lexus:)
It’s such a wonderful way to communicate to each other without seeing each other.
We posted Wes & Kat’s trailer 2 weeks ago and we’re scheduled to deliver this one later this week.
This opening has the moment Kat received floor seats to her favorite metal band Metallica from her soon-to-be hubby Wes.
Love the look on your face Kat, priceless.
Enjoy,

Adam & Kate… you were such an awesome couple! And it was a pleasure working with you both. What a beautiful ceremony at College Hill Presbyterian. After doing weddings for over 4 years (which is a drop in the bucket compared to Matt), I can just tell if a couple has true chemistry, and you both were a match made before you were born! (Click here to how these two met.)
Everything went so smoothly! But, how could it not with Joyce Smith running the show. And with Kevin Ford providing the stunning floral arrangements for the reception, and Airwaves jamming out the tunes, the reception was just as amazing.
Here’s a sneak peek at your wedding day highlights. I hope it helps bring back memories of forgotten moments from an amazing day!

I have had so many players and parents thank me for putting together the highlight reel for the 2008 Nagel Nighthawks Silver football team. This production will be shown tomorrow night as part of recognition
night.
We posted the trailer earlier this week.
I thought you’d like to see another quick preview.
