Philadelphia wedding videographers (and photographers) in D.C.
This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding with a team of outstanding videographers and photographers. The couple were married at the Georgetown University Chapel with the reception at The Four Seasons hotel. I was part of the GM Elliot Videography team with videographer Glen Elliot and wife Violet. Photography was by Berit Bizjak and her team from Images By Berit.
I drove down from Philadelphia Saturday morning (Glen and Violet arrived on Friday). Glen did the bridal prep while Violet and I filmed the groom. We were then driven to the church to set up. The ceremony was beautiful. Music was organ, trumpet, violin as well as a vocalist. After the ceremony we returned to the hotel to set up for the reception. The guests were wined and dined all night while the band played. The next morning after breakfast I headed home.
Of course I also want to thank Glen for this opportunity. Doing videography at such a beautiful wedding doesn’t happen often.

Interesting insights on wedding filmmaking
In recent posts I have often referred to our style as “wedding filmmaking” rather than wedding videography. The clip below from Chicago based Zacuto Productions and featuring noted wedding filmmakers John Goolsby, Kristin * of Bliss* Video Productions, and Joe Simon of Joe Simon Productions. In this clip John, Kristin*, and Joe discuss what makes a wedding film and why it is different that wedding video.

(Slightly) new name for our company
You may have noticed that the name of our company is slightly different. Bonnie Blink Productions is now BonnieBlink Productions. There are several reasons for combining the first two words. The main one is that it leads to less confusion. First there is no one named Bonnie here. Bonnie Blink is an old Scot’s word for “beautiful view” rather than a woman’s name.
The second reason for the change is that as a more unique name, we have a better way to target our wedding videography clients. On the web there is a very popular site called blink.com. Then there is the rock group Blink182, and there is a Blink Productions in the UK. We are Philadelphia wedding videographers and it is important that our clients can find us.
For now you will see both the old and new names on our website and in our correspondence. Our official business name is still Bonnie Blink Productions. As our focus is on upscale brides, we want a look that reflects that.
