Save The Date – Chicago Wedding Cinematography – Navy Pier – Dana & Ryan

Navy Pier 600 E Grand Ave. Chicago, IL 60611 (312) 595-7437

We met Dana & Ryan at a Murphy Auditorium / Berghoff bridal event and were thrilled when they booked us to do a Fusion (photography + video) engagement shoot. They opted for our ‘Haute’ engagement collection which includes airbrush makeup & hair, photography, cinematography, and a guest book.

We really like adding video to standard photography engagement shoot because it shows personality and other nuances that are better suited for this medium. We originally planned to just have video snippets here and there, but their story was so interesting that we leaned more toward the video side on this fusion piece. Dana & Ryan used this video as a ‘Save The Date’ and was delivered on DVD and digitally on Facebook.

We’re really fascinated with telling the love story of our couples and we hope that family, friends, and generations to come will look back at this video and see the great bond these two wonderful people had just before their marriage. Dana & Ryan, congrats! We wish you all the best!

The newest addition … Canon 5D MKII | Emotia

Ray Pryor — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:04:00 +0000

We’d like to cordially introduce to the newest member of the Emotia family. This here is the Canon 5D MK II, Canon’s newest camera that can do a lot of cool things, the important being full-HD video. Say it with me now, ‘mmmmmm video’. Since I come from a video background, I was really excited when they announced this camera. Naturally, it’s been out of stock for a while due to high demand but I finally got my hands on one. You may be thinking, ‘a camera that does video too – what’s the big deal?’ Without getting all techy on you, the difference with this cam is that it uses photography lenses instead of a standard video lens, and photography lenses give you that shallow depth of field that you only see in photography … and motion picture films. Nuff said. I can’t wait to show you what we can do with this thing. A whole new world of possibilities for our clients just opened up – are you ready?
