Here at The Wedding Theater we are hard at work editing and preparing for a very busy Spring 2012, as we will be the busiest we have ever been!  A few months back, we shot at the beautiful wedding of Kimberly and Josh at the gorgeous Villa Antonia wedding venue.  This incredible venue overlooks the Texas Hill Country in Northwest Austin, and was paired up with an equally incredible couple.  While working weddings, we meet all kinds of other vendors, and had  the great pleasure of again pairing up with one of our favorite wedding professionals, Forever Photography.

This morning, we received a pretty exciting email saying we were featured on the Little Black Book blog, written by Style Me Pretty, a blog focused on the best wedding vendors in the industry.  Style Me Pretty isn’t just any wedding website.  To be featured on their site, vendors are put through an extensive interview process, that may take up to six months! Only the best vendors make it onto the site, giving couples a great resource to finding the perfect photographers, videographers, catering services, and all the other necessary vendors

[VIDEO] How to Pop The Question

Conducting a routine Google search for “crazy marriage proposals” will lead you to some outrageous examples that may be too over-the-top (or cliché) to impress or even be appreciated at all by your bride-to-be (See: “Wedding Proposals Gone Wrong”). This is definitely not to say that you can’t go out on a limb and come up with a unique and memorable way to pop the question – you just have to remember that your proposal needs to be appropriate for your lady, whether she is the type that would prefer exciting theatrics, or whether she would appreciate a quieter more intimate approach. Of course, timing is also key; you don’t want to put your partner in an uncomfortable situation (let alone in public!) where you are going to be let down. Keep this in mind if you truly want to coordinate a romantic moment that will kick off your marriage on the right foot. Here are a few examples of one-of-a-kind proposals that apparently went over well:

Another unique idea is to use the medium of video as the proposal itself:

Here at The Wedding Theater, we would be thrilled to work with you to create a video that will document that special moment, something that could also later be incorporated into your final wedding video. Here’s one example of a marriage proposal we produced that was later used by the couple as a “Save the Date” video that could be sent out to wedding guests:

So if you are interested in creating a proposal video, contact us and we’ll do our best to help you document that special moment – and if you play your cards right, that moment will end with a “Yes!”

The Wedding Theater featured on The Knot!

Recently The Wedding Theater collaborated with the one, the only, The Knot.  No introduction needed,  The Knot is one of the most popular wedding planning hubs with it’s renowned magazine and website.  Working with some members from The Knot, we created several web videos which highlight some of the most premiere wedding venues and services Austin has to offer, such as:  Coco Paloma Desserts, The Driskill, Laguna Gloria, Vista West Ranch, and Petal Pushers.  If you haven’t seen them yet, they’re definitely worth a look.

While we love shooting weddings, we also enjoy taking advantage of any commercial opportunities that may come along, like working with The Knot and other wedding vendors.  The wedding community is pretty close knit and aside from networking with other vendors, we help each other out, even if it’s just means creating a video highlighting their services.  We at The Wedding Theater are committed to couples looking for the best wedding vendors and are always striving to contribute to the wedding community to help make it better and more stress-free for you.

[VIDEO] PicFlips = Wedding Reception Hit!

Posted on by

The Wedding Theater isn’t just about wedding video and film, we are about what is new, fun, and cutting edge with weddings!  Over the weekend while filming Carrie and David’s fantastic T Bar M Resort Wedding, we ran into a couple of gals with PicFlips (iloveflipbooks.com). PicFlips are something new to us, but we loved them right from the beginning. First of all, the two girls working there were very friendly and helpful explaining what the product is, and second, it was so much fun! Basically this is a short, instantly gratifying 6-7 second animation of you and your friends. Step in front of the screen and goof around like you would in a photobooth, but come out and just over a minute later you will have your very own keepsake from the wedding – an old school animated movie! They had tons of signs and costume type fun adds to make each flip book unique. We liked FlipPic so much, we threw together our own little commercial for this blog so can see just how fun they are and we are going to use Carrie and Davids flip book from their wedding night in their trailer coming soon!

This was our flipbook from the night.

Austin Wedding Venues – Old Glory Ranch

Posted on by

Old Glory Ranch Wimberley TXIf you are looking for a Hill Country wedding venue, we would suggest you take a look at Old Glory Ranch. Located just outside of Austin in Wimberley, TX. Old Glory Ranch is over 2000 acres and has 2 miles of Blanco River frontage. Old Glory is capable of hosting both indoor and outdoor ceremonies, and is a full-service venue that offers just about everything from a wedding coordinator to floral designers on-site. We get a lot of inquiries from brides that want to have their wedding outdoors in a hill county setting, and I cannot imagine a better place in Texas to get married than right next to the Blanco river! If an outdoor wedding is not your style, then you can have it in Chapel Hall, which is Old Glory’s 4,000 square foot wedding chapel. Chapel Hall can handle about 350 people comfortably with the max being around 450 people. Last year we were hired to do the videography for Lindsey & Jody’s wedding at Old Glory and it has turned out to be one of the best wedding films we have ever done. The venue really is one of the most important parts of the day and Old Glory provides one of the nicest and prettiest places in the Hill Country to get married.
