Murphy’s Law Civil Wedding Ceremony

Submitted by Quinn Ward From Illinois
My fiance and I decided on a simple civil wedding ceremony in lieu of the large church wedding my mother wanted me to have. We, both, like to be on time so we arrived at the courthouse about an hour ahead of schedule. After we signed in we had quite a bit of time on our hands to just sit and wait. Our wedding ceremony was scheduled for 1 p.m. When one finally rolled around we went to the assigned courtroom only to find out it was in use and we could not enter.

We took that in stride hoping it would be open soon. After about 10 minutes we began to get worried. We tried to call the woman who signed us in but she did not answer her phone and without her clearance we Continue reading "Murphy’s Law Civil Wedding Ceremony" »

Boston Videographers Are A Stroke of Genius

The famous maritime painter Fitz Hugh Lane actually moved to Boston just to enjoy the wonderful natural beauty. He probably would’ve been able to record much more of the seascapes for which he’s famous if he’d had a videographer handy. Don’t make that mistake! There have been so many advances in videography that using anything else to immortalize your occasion is almost a step backwards to the days of quill pens and papyrus.

Videographers in Boston, Massachusetts have a unique view of the city. Every ray of light, stream of color, or drop of golden sunshine is an opportunity to bring out the best in a video or your wedding. Videographers in Bean Town are the perfect choice for lavish soirees in the Beacon Hill area. Having a seaside wedding? Look to Boston videographers to capture your special day in a way that no one can forget.

It’s hard to think of a moment in recent years when I have not had my camera handy. Snapping pictures, taking videos of random events, and looking like a tourist in places that I’ve been a thousand times make for great moments. Sometimes entertaining guests at a party is too exhausting to focus on operating a camera. It’s times like these when having a videographer on hand is the primo way to capture every moment. Miss something funny while you were helping out in the kitchen? Not when you hire a Boston videographer to stand sentry behind his trusty lens, patiently waiting for the hilarity to ensue.

No wedding should be remembered only in diaries and memories. Wedding videographers are often the most valuable members of the team when planning a wedding because they can give experienced advice for making your day run smoothly and seamlessly in a delightfully artistic environment. Who doesn’t want that on the most important day of their life?
