A few weeks ago we hinted that we were part of a “secret shoot”.  I am happy to finally be able to reveal what we were up to!

I received an email one day from David, an anxious boyfriend hoping to soon propose to his girlfriend, Jordyn.  He knew how special this moment would be, and wanted to capture it all on video (smart guy!!!)  So I contacted him and he filled us in on his plan.  We knew it was going to be an amazing moment for the two of them!

We packed up all our gear and met David that Friday night at Big Talbot Island.  The plan was for us to stay completely hidden so that Jordyn would have no idea what was going on!  So, like ninjas, we waited…. and that is all I’ll say because I think the video really explains it all.

It was so special for us to be a part of this moment in their lives.  Check out the video to see how it all went down… (and scroll down to the end of the post for some behind the scenes shots of us waiting for the big moment!)  This video is the “Extended Version” which includes David revealing his “film crew” to Jordyn

Amy and John’s wedding was filled with southern charm and sophistication, and we were very excited to be a part of their day in Charlotte, NC.  Not only are they a great couple, but we had the privilege of shooting Amy’s brother’s wedding back in April 2007 (Eric and Laura Beth’s Preview Video).  It was so nice to see all of their family again and get to know Amy and John through a whole weekend of wedding celebrations!

Amy and John’s ceremony was performed by John’s brother, which gave it an extra special and emotional touch!  After the ceremony, the bride and groom made their exit in a Rolls-Royce and headed to their reception at Carmel Country Club.  The couple and their bridal party took some pictures on the amazingly beautiful country club grounds, and then headed inside to begin the party!  Amy and John are very close to their families, and it was evident by the toasts, the special dances, and the overall feeling of love and joy that filled the room. At the end of the night, their friends and family sent them off with a sparkler exit, and they drove away to begin their lives together as husband and wife.

Amy and John treated us like family, and really made us feel like a part of their wedding day.  We are thankful that we were able to capture such an amazing weekend for them!  Check out their preview video here:

We are excited to say that In Motion Video Productions has hit another milestone!  This weekend, 5 years ago, In Motion shot it’s first wedding!  So, for fun, we thought we’d give you a brief history of the journey we have taken to get to where we are now.

In Motion Video Productions began with a challenge… A challenge by my husband (James) that if I could book enough jobs to pay for the Final Cut Pro system I wanted so badly, that I could buy one.  So of course, knowing me, I set out to prove to him I could do it and booked my first wedding!  The thing we didn’t know, is that we would both fall in love with event videography!  So, 5 years ago James and I set out to shoot our first wedding.  The night was amazing… filled with family, friends, and love for the couple.  We were hooked… The rest, as they say, is history!

Over the course of the past 5 years we have grown from a husband and wife owned business, to a team of specially trained and talented videographers and editors.  We have shot hundreds of weddings and helped each and every couple we work with preserve the most special memories of their lives.

In addition to event videography, we also started a Corporate Videography division of In Motion.  We have had the opportunity to work with clients such as Roy’s Restaurant, The Jacksonville Symphony, The Main Street America Group, Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, Brooks Health, and countless others.

I am so thankful that over the past 5 years I have been able to wake up and do what I love every day.  We are thankful to all of our Couples and Corporate Clients for the success of the past 5 years, and look forward to many many more!

P.S. No, we won’t be posting our first Wedding Video, so don’t ask 😉

Sincerely,

Christina Grimsley
