A few months ago, while sitting in a client meeting with the bride-to-be and her coordinator, we reviewed the layout of the wedding day. We spoke, swapped stories, and laughed our way through the afternoon and when the coordinator realized time had slipped away, she gasped. They were supposed to meet with the florist and the videographer, but the day was almost gone. After a few phone calls, the coordinator smiles and informs me that they'll still meet with the florist, but they didn't need to personally meet with the videographer. After all, the coordinator said, there's nobody else to use but Elysium Productions!

I've never forgotten this conversation. Months and months have passed since hearing the coordinator's words, but I think of them often. Why? Because I want my photography business to be viewed the same way. I want others to dismissively wave their hands in the air and of course! their way as they procure my services. It says so much about how good a company is at what it does and how well its branded. You buy Nike because you think it's the best (or, that you'll look as good as LeBron James). You shop at Nordstrom because you know the service is incomparable and how walking around with the store's signature silver bag makes you feel. You book Elysium as your wedding videographer because they're industry leaders and the best at what they do. Incredible.

I was honored when Julie Hill, creative director and Elysium entrepreneur, asked me to take their photos…and hoped some of their secret-sauceness might rub off on me! 🙂 Here's a sneak peek at Elysium Productions awesome crew…
Carolyn, Kyle, Julie, Alex, and Jeff

Before we departed, I snapped a couple photos of Julie and Alex because every couple deserves a simple photo to document their love and lives every year…and special thanks to Design Visage for doing a wonderful job with Julie's makeup and hair! 🙂
