Lights, camera, action!

Hello, lovely readers.  Audrey has been steadily blogging away, letting you know about some of her our accomplishments, so I figured I'd give you a little update.  Audrey and I had talked about things that we'd ideally want at our wedding, and one of them was a videographer.  At least I was hoping to possibly have one to at least record the ceremony and maybe some of the reception.  You know, cuz we won't be able to see it the way one of our guests might.  But we also knew that it would potentially cost a lot of money, and we definitely wanted the timelessness of clean photography.  So we cast videography aside and decided that photographs would be more than fine.

But through some blog reading, both Audrey and I discovered the company StoryMix.  We both had learned about this crowdsource-leveraging company that basically lets you film the footage but then edits it for you.  We had thought it was a cool idea, but even still, it would cost about $500 to get, and it just seemed like too much for a fancy extra addition.  But when I stumbled upon a Giveaway Contest I felt like I had to enter.  There were only 75 entries with a day to go, and you could enter 31 times!  So stuffing the ballot is exactly what I did, and I got my name in there 31 times.  So with approximately 125 entries (across 83 entrants), I felt like the odds were ever in my favor.  And they were!  My name got drawn to win one of the videography packages!
And that is where you all come in!  If you download the WeddingMix app for your smartphone, you can be our videographer!  Audrey and I will get to see the wedding from all the various perspectives of our friends and relatives who are at the wedding.  Or at least the ones who download the app and share clips with us.  So stay tuned for more information about downloading the app so that you can take some fun videos.  Now we'll get to peruse our pictures and watch some fun memories on video, too!
