Before Christmas, StyleMePretty asked for a happening new video from 2009 that we’d like featured. We submitted Rick & Jennifer’s Highlights at Barr Mansion and they loved it! Click the image below to be directed to the actual posting!

Elite Video Productions was recently invited to be featured in Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book of Preferred Vendors. Style Me Pretty’s cinematography panel is highly selective and chooses only the best vendors for each category! In their words, “The Little Black Book shows off the most innovative and chic wedding professionals on the planet!”
We’ve recently upgraded our cases to this new, sleek hard case. Not only are they more shiny, but they allow us to be more creative with our final product! Included for all upcoming weddings!

Blake and Shannon’s wedding went down at Stablewood Springs Resort near Hunt, Texas. What a day it was! I’ll say it again…Dysfunction Junction, their live band, really knows how to keep the party going strong all night long! We also got to hang out once again with one of our photog faves, Marcus Revilla!
Enjoy these Wedding Highlights!!!

In today’s tough economic climate, budgeting and managing your wedding finances can be very difficult. After you’ve spent countless hours researching and meeting with your “must-have” vendors (and relinquished non-refundable deposits) you definitely want to keep these vendors!
Since Elite Video Productions entered the wedding scene in 2004, we have seen 4 cancellations, 3 of which occurred in 2009. We were so sad to lose those brides, listening to stories of lay-offs or other financial distress.
All is not lost! With careful planning and discipline, you can make it work and avoid disappointment in the end. There are various options you might consider, including:
1. Creating and sticking with a monthly payment plan for each vendor.
2. Creating a savings account and paying into it regularly.
3. As a last resort, and if you ask nicely enough, you might hit up close family members (ahem, parents) for a low-interest, short-term loan.
These and other conscious decisions you make early in your planning can save you a lot of heartache. These can also mean the difference between having your “must-have” vendor, having to go back and select your “fall-back” vendors, or having to omit that particular wedding service altogether.
We hope you’ve found these tips useful.
Until next time! Happy planning!
Yesterday evening, Elite Video Productions had the pleasure of attending a vendors & brides social at Vista West Ranch, a rustic wedding venue sitting on 11 acres of breathtaking Texas hillcountry. It is set in Dripping Springs, Texas, which is located about 23 miles west of Austin. We met Cindy Pearson, owner, who was very friendly. We also had the chance to spend quality time with Stacey Hogge of Petal Pushers (event decor). Stacy gave us the history of Vista West Ranch and the story of how this family ranch came to be what it is today. We are excited about our first Vista West event in October, when we’ll be covering the wedding of kick awesome Austin Wedding Planner/Instructor/Extraordinaire . . . Wendee Robbins! Going back to Vista West . . . this venue has an outdoor ceremony site just outside the reception building, which offers a scenic Texas hillcountry view. If that wasn’t enough, a tree-shaded garden, accessed by a stone walkway from the main reception building, offers a mini-bar and a sitting area surrounding a fire pit. This definitely adds to the charm of Vista West. If you haven’t reserved a venue, this one’s definitely worth checking out!
We also ran into Austin Photographer Andy Peterson from Studio 563. We played the “Who’s Wedding Did We Work Together On” game for awhile. Hilarious!

Elite Video Productions was chosen as a top wedding professional in The Knot Best of Weddings 2009!
The Knot Magazine says “What sets this honor apart from others is that it’s not just your colleagues (or even The Knot) bestowing this award on your business—the recognition comes from real brides who were thrilled with the level of service you brought to their wedding day!”
Thanks again! Let’s do it again in 2010!
Beautiful couple, beautiful venue, beautiful day…what more can you ask for?? This will basically open up Tommy and Anna’s Wedding DVD, leading up to the actual Ceremony. Enjoy!
