Truitt-Ross Wedding Highlights

Carlene Truitt wed Robert Ross on November 7, 2009 at Caliche Creek Ranch, a lovely, rustic venue filled with Texas charm. I particularly loved the children at this wedding. Kids are never afraid to play on camera!

Lucio-Hall Wedding Highlights

I am delighted to share my most recently completed project! Paty Lucio & Merlin Hall held their wedding at the lovely and intimate new venue, Kemah Gardens. As you can see from the video, Kemah Gardens provides a beautiful outdoor setting combined with all the comforts of home.

Lazo-Camp Wedding Highlights

I'm glad to share this sample from my most recently completed wedding. Crystal Lazo & Kevin Camp were married at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Houston on September 19th. I was particularly impressed by the DJ, LGEntertainers. Their reception setup included a really cool HD video display, and I got very excited because I am just starting to offer Same Day Edit service, which would have worked perfectly on their display!

This is the last of my SD weddings, as it took place just before the delivery of my new Panasonic AG-HMC150 HD camera. This project demonstrates continuing development of my short form ceremony, and I am particularly happy with how the real ceremony & beauty shots blended together.

New Testimonials!

I am proud to unveil this new testimonial video from some of my past clients. Thank you so much to Michelle, Jeff, Katrina, & Dustin for being kind enough to share their feelings about their wedding videos. This is another of the ideas I have been working on since I got back from the WEVA Expo. Special thanks to Matt & Melissa Davis of Life Stage Films for their guidance and incredible generosity of spirit. I have always found it challenging to decide how to present my work to prospective clients. Usually, I just show samples, but I've never thought that really had the same impact as seeing your own memory. Hopefully this short video communicates how much this kind of personalized artwork ends up meaning to the couple & family!

BCBC Bridal Market winner & this week's developments

This week I completed the Roberts/Connell wedding, which took place on August 22nd. The lucky bride, Lisa, was the recipient of the gift certificate I donated as a door prize at the Bayou City Business Collective Bridal Market back in May.

WEVA Expo

Hello! I'm Laura Palmer and I make Calico Wedding Videos. So, everyone has been telling me to start a blog for my business, and I thought, what better way to start than to talk about my trip to the Wedding & Event Videographers Association Expo?

I am so excited and energized by all the inspiring work I have seen here! In the next few months, I plan to implement several new ideas by offering a wider array of services, packages, and pricing. And I got new toys! I purchased a new Panasonic AG-HMC150 HD camera, a Steddiepod, and a Roland R-44 audio recorder.

Throughout four days of seminars, I attended workshops on shooting, editing, audio, lighting, filmmaking, marketing & sales, live-streaming, same day edits, tapeless formats, web compression... Enough to make my head swim! Thank you to WEVA and the spectacular new Hilton Orlando for putting on an amazing conference. I absolutely feel the Expo has made me a better wedding filmmaker, and I can't wait to come back next year.
