Pure Magic...by Kathryn Knowles

A hundred years ago, taking a simple picture was an arduous task. It was said that the reason people in the picture looked so miserable was because it took so long to capture a single image. Nowadays, the click of a camera's shutter and the limited amount of space a camera takes up in a women's purse is symbolic of new-age technology that has taken our generation by storm and that makes special occasions such as milestone birthdays, graduations and weddings seem like anything but distant memories.

Not only with photography has preserving life's special moments improved, but with videography as well. In a world where people often find themselves working in cold, unfamiliar environments that disable them from truly reflecting the person they are, a passion for re-creating what is considered by many the most important day of their lives is beautiful. 

Video is the ability to not only literally record life's occurrences, but to be the conduit through which two people can re-embark on the journey of the beginning of their lives together.

Families, close friends, and future generations are also beneficiaries of a talented videographer.

They are allowed to partake in the ceremony that has, for as long as we can remember, joined two people in love. 

A talented videographer will allow his or her passion for capturing the rituals and festivities to be evident in his or her work thereby creating a milestone for those who participated.

Vincent Van Gogh once said, "I dream my painting and then I paint my dream."

For many little girls, the idea of planning their fairytale wedding is a life-long fantasy. They spend every waking hour thinking and developing the best day of their lives. Video enables them to see their wedding day not only as a day where the three tier, chocolate cake was delectable or the rose center pieces spiced up the air with their fragrance but a dream that has been painted into reality but still embodies...."pure magic..."
