One More Reason to Get a Limo
A newly married bride still wearing her wedding gown flew off the back of a motorcycle being driven by her husband in Waite Park on Saturday.
According to police, the groom was arrested after the crash. The two were in the midst of their wedding reception when the accident happened.
The bride broke her leg and wrist in the crash.
Just another reason to hire one of our professional transportation vendors in the Central Minnesota Wedding Association for your wedding!

Why You Shouldn't Skip the Video at your Wedding
Being a videographer myself, I may be a bit biased on this topic. I can't tell you how many people tell me after their wedding, "I wish we would have had a video."
Many people are skipping the professional video to save some money, but a lot of others are seeing the advantages of hiring a pro. I can honestly tell you that 2009 will be among the best years for my video business. I think more and more people are seeing professional wedding videos that don't make you fall asleep- or make you sea-sick while watching them...and want one for their wedding!
I recently came across a post on another blog regarding the benefits of having a wedding video...here is what they had to say.
Life Moves, Photos Don't
Photos are a wonderful way to capture moments in time. Video captures time itself. At a wedding I recently videotaped one of the bridesmaids composed a song and sang it to the bride and groom at their reception. They are moved each time they watch it. Many times video of toasts by parents and grandparents create lasting keepsakes of far away family members.
Make it an Event
Watching a well-edited video of your wedding can be an event in itself. Have a premiere party! When you watch the video together, you share the experience with friends and family. With DVDs so easy to mail, many new couples send copies to relatives who couldn't attend the wedding. Many save the videos to share with their children some day.
It's a New Networked World
Ask your videographer if they can help you share your video online. Video isn't just on TV anymore. Post in on Facebook, add it to your blog, load it on your iPhone so you can watch the first time you have to be away from your loved one.
Safety Net
Even the best photographers in the world can make mistakes or misunderstand your wishes. I recently worked with a bride who called me in tears because certain relatives were not represented in her photos. The bride had hired a well known photographer with a good reputation, but for some reason, the photos were not there. You can imagine how relieved she was to find that I had recorded several scenes with these family members.
PLEASE...Use a Pro
Everyone's got a video camera these days, so why not just ask a friend to capture your wedding? There's a simple answer. Your wedding is not just any day. Anyone can bake a cake, but you need something really special for your wedding. You want a beautifully crafted wedding cake. So you hire a professional with the right experience, attitude and equipment. With a professional videographer you can relax and enjoy your day knowing you've hired someone with the right experience, attitude and equipment. And you know in a few months you'll be celebrating the premiere!
