Well I am finally getting around to posting again on the blog!
It’s honestly been a roller-coaster ride of traveling and shooting some really cool stuff!

Me And Lyn headed down to Puerto Vallarta to shoot one of the coolest weddings along side one of my new photographer friends Milli Holloman and her brother and his wife/milli’s best friend Amanda! We all had a blast hanging out together and laughing our heads off at funny stories of when we travel.
Milli’s brother Brent is an amazing graphic design artist who is sure going places! Check out his work LOOK I can’t wait to talk with him about some stuff!

And lets see Amanda his wife WOW she was hilarious and has a very dry sense of humor always saying something funny! One of the really cool things about my time with all of them was eventually we started talking about when we where younger and it was really cool to find out Milli & Brent where both home-schooled most of their life and it was neat because I can relate to them because I myself was home-schooled most of my life.

Well it came time for us to all shoot a wedding together on saturday!

We all where in AWE of how amazing and beautiful the location and the couple where. Shannon & Rich where a great couple to work with and always ready to shoot some amazing shots! Check out the location we went to called Le Kliff Restaurant Bar. The next day we shot a really cool promo video for Milli down there which I can’t wait to see the finished product hit the net cause it for sure will rock!

“LOCAL PAPER NEWS RELEASE”

BY SARAH BROACH • MAY 25, 2008
Lights, camera,vows
CinematicBride provides Hollywood-style memories for newlyweds and their guests
At 21, West Monroe native Joshua Smith has a business that’s been featured on Lifetime, “Good Morning America” and “Inside Edition.”

It all began with a 13-year-old and a video camera, when Smith first became fascinated with the idea of filming weddings.
Eight years later, the Monroe-based company CinematicBride creates film-like wedding pieces that have gotten the business named in the top 25 wedding videographer companies in the world by the magazine eventDV.

“We do pretty big-budget weddings, which are a lot of fun to shoot, and we get to travel all the time,” Smith said. “We’ve been to Jamaica, Canada two or three times, Chicago, California, Ohio, Oklahoma, pretty much all over the U.S.”

The hook is CinematicBride’s finished work — the video is converted to look more like film, Smith said.
Sixty to 80 hours can be spent editing the piece, adding music and manipulating colors.
“We spend a lot of time at a wedding on the details, to make sure we’re capturing that place, the flowers, everything that’s going on,” he said.
Smith also creates what resembles a movie trailer of the wedding to send to the family before the entire video is complete.

“I’ll spend typically 15-20 hours working on the trailer, and it’s something that really highlights their day,” he said. “It showcases the beauty of the location they get married in.”
CinematicBride’s appearances on national television were for wedding-related shows, Smith said.

“A lot of times they were featuring stories about weddings, and they would call us to ask us for footage,” he said. “On Lifetime, it was a wedding show, and they were doing stories that kind of revolved around what we did.”

Though his work takes him out of the state and sometimes out of the country two or three times a month, Smith still has the company’s home base in Monroe, in a New York-style loft on North 2nd Street.
“Once I found it, I walked right in the door, and I knew this is what I wanted,” he said. “It’s something that if a local person comes in to hire us for a job, they get the feel that it’s something completely different and a unique experience we provide.”
Smith also runs CinematicWeddings with packages affordable for smaller budgets.

“It’s more of a documentary style but still has as a cinematic approach to it,” he said.
Smith was thrilled to have CinematicBride named a top videographer company in eventDV magazine.

“They do a lot of research on success of companies, they do a lot of polls,” he said. “We were in the top seven of the list, so it was really nice.”
Smith started out filming in church, and he remembers a particular wedding that started him on this path.

“I had gotten asked to film a person’s wedding locally who was just a friend of the family, and that sparked something in me,” he said. “I loved it; I thought it was neat to showcase the love of two people getting married.
“By about 16 I knew I wanted to go full time with it.”

Many of you might be in business whether your a photographer or videographer or even just a normal person.
For me and several people I have been talking with, we have all been seeing a common thing happening in our daily lives and businesses and that something is CHANGE!

It is known for being scary, exhilarating, amazing, and a roller-coaster ride. For me the thought of CHANGE can be so scary, but as many of my people who I look to for support in my daily walk of having a business are telling me “GO FOR IT” and “TAKE IT ON!”.

So I am now looking at CHANGE as an EXHILARATING - AMAZING - ROLLER COASTER RIDE! I find that CHANGE happens to be one of the VITAL keys in my life for my goals to be met!
I remember being afraid of the unknown and not knowing what would happen in my life last year. But as I looked to God and my family for support that fear disappeared and once that fear vanished I felt free, I felt alive like never before!

So I challange each and everyone of you to not look at change as a scary thing but look to it as a means of getting closer to your goals in life, look at it as an EXCITING - EXHILERATING - AMAZING - ROLLERCOASTER RIDE! Because that change could be the start of something so wonderful and beautiful in your life in getting you closer to your personal and even business goals!
