MKippen Photography has teamed up with Bryce Schoonmaker (videographer) at 425 Post Productions to offer something truly exciting and unique. The time of convergence between photography and videography is upon us, and we believe that you should have the option to have video with your photographs. This is NOT your typical videography – we are not going to set up a tripod and let the camera capture 45 minutes of raw video that you will never want to share. Working with FULL HD Canon digital SLR’s -we will capture specific clips – from the ceremony, dancing and special moments that just mean more in video. We still believe that photography is the most important way to capture your wedding, but complimented with video clips here and there is something truly spectacular.
Here is what we are on about – a demo clip we have made from Jen and Nick’s beautiful wedding at Rosario Resort. Just CLICK PLAY!
Just imagine showing that to all of your friends and family as the first preview of the photography and events from your wedding day – we feel that the video really adds another dimension. The slideshows are done to music, and will not include sound from the video clips, although we will provide you with the raw clips that were shot which includes audio.
What are we charging for this? – $100 per hour to shoot video. We feel that you would only want a few hours of video – an hour before the ceremony, the ceremony and an hour or two of the reception. Best scenario – this would only cost an extra $200-$400 and you will have lots of nice clips to keep and to be presented in your slideshow.
Let us know what you think – contact weddings@MKippen.com if you are interested in booking video for your event.
Just a a few short months ago, i was approached by Dave Meister with Waterwerks NW to shoot some photographs for a calendar that Dave wanted to do for the Pacific Northwest. A few days of shooting and 12 cars later, Dave has these calendars ready to ship. All of the cars were hand picked by Dave and represent a good collection from the Pacific Northwest. With a mix of german cars, this calendar came together really nicely. Dave is a professional printer, and has done a great job of putting these calendars together by hand. The calendar is really useful showing important holidays and since its a heavy duty paper, it is easy to write on for notes or birthdays. These are ready to ship from Dave at Waterwerks, and can be purchased here: http://waterwerksnw.com/php_html/shop_ww.php
Here you can see the glossy overlay on the calendar, very subtle but cool.
Just a preview of what to expect…
I am working with Dave to bring a cool calendar for next year. Feel free to leave us some comments. I hope that you like the photography.
Thanks Dave for inviting me to shoot this for you this year, and thank you to all the car owners for your cooperation and time.
Again, the link to purchase one of these calendars is here: http://waterwerksnw.com/php_html/shop_ww.php cost is $20
Its hard to believe looking back at the photos from this year that these were infact all from 2009. Time has really flown by, and it feels like we have been along for the ride on an incredible journey. We have met some incredible people this year, and we have had an amazing time getting to know everyone. I really want to reach out and thank everyone for letting us be part of their special day, and thank you to everyone who has helped us out with referrals or encouragment.
It looks like 2010 is sizing up to be our busiest year ever, and we are so excited to be part of more beautiful weddings and to be able to capture beautiful photography. Keep posted as we prepare for the new season, we are hoping to step it up and bring some new innovative things to the table and to share some wonderful images with you. I hope that you enjoy our Year in Review video, please leave us some comments below! We love you all and thank you for visiting!
This was something a little different for me, I was actually in this wedding, it’s so different being on the other side of the camera. One of my best friends Brandie got married November 1st to another friend of mine, Pete. We’ve all known each other since the 7th grade and it was so awesome to not only be there for their special day, but also to be her Maid of Honor and also help with the photos.
The wedding and reception were at Belle Chapel in Snohomish. The weather turned out wonderful, one of the last nice days of the year I think.
I also want to give a huge thanks to my sisters Becky and Miki, for all the help they gave Mike that day, it really helped things run smoothly.
Brandie and Pete, congratulations again and I wish you both a happy, fun-filled life together and I love you guys!
Earlier this year, i had the privilage of being apart of the biggest vw car celebration in the world (for the 4th time) – at Worthersee just outside of Klagenfurt, Austria. Worthersee is the ultimate dub get together for enthusiasts, which takes place in May for over a week of partying and gawking at beautiful cars. I have the extra privilage of photographing some of the most amazing cars at this show from year to year, and this year was definitely no exception.
One of the nicest people i have ever met at the show definitely has to be Steppal Stjepanovic, who is the owner of this amazing MK4 GTI. Steppal is the ultimate baller, having rebuit this car over 6 times with completely different colors, interiors, engines, this car has been the ultimate statement that represents everything about Worthersee – radikal, ever changing and exciting. The second i saw the latest iteration of his ideas incarnate onto this veedub, i knew that it was probably one of the most ultimate dubs i had ever seen.
It was an honor to shoot Steppal and his MK4 – i hope that i can make it back to Woerthersee soon to see what he has up his sleeve next. Be sure to check out Performance VW Issue 155 (Sept 09) for the complete feature.
