Cecilia and Jonah

One of my favorite wedding so far this year! I am a little biased because I am friends with Cecilia and I was able to take a break from filming during the reception to enjoy myself. The day began with a photo session down on the waterfront. We got great footage and how can you not when the bride is sitting on a giant chicken.


The ceremony took place in Jefferstown. One of the best moments we captured was Cecilia and her father just before they were about to open the church doors to walk down the aisle.



It was a little windy that day but it was more exciting and challenging when we sent the bride and groom off with bubbles.


We took a detour on the way to the reception at Masterson's for another brief photo session at the park at Papa John's.


After all the formal pictures were finished we relaxed and enjoyed the lively reception.


Loved the bouquet!!

The Greatest Show on Earth

ICVideo had the fine pleasure this weekend to meet hundreds of brides from the Kentuckiana area at the Bridal and Groom Wedding Show held at the Marriott East hosted by Sharon Bell of Memorable Celebrations. The show was nothing but energy from beginning to end. The theme was "plan your wedding in one day" and with the number of quality vendors there it was possible to do just that. ICVideo would like to thank all those involved and especially our booth mates Midnight Magic DJ service, Kroger Banquet Hall, Oxmoor Country Club, and Photography by Sara. All of you kept the day entertaining and it was a pleasure being along side of you.

I couldn't think of exactly how to explain how well the show went for ICVideo. Maybe I should say this or maybe that, but it comes down to just a few things. We had people ask us repeatedly how we made out videos look so good. One person thought we used models. Thanks for the compliment but they are just the wonderful brides that ICVideo has filmed. No secret to our success, except top notch people, market leading equipment, and hard work to capture the day. We work each video like it was the first, starting from scratch to craft a cinematic story of emotion that only ICVideo can do. I guess I'll sum it up with an email I received the following day.

"Yours was certainly the most impressive at the show.

I might be able to swing by during lunch one day this week or next.

Thanks!
Jen"

Cheryl-Lynne and George

An elegant wedding at the grande West Baden Springs Hotel in French Lick, IN with beautiful details from A. Anderson Events.


The weather that day was temperamental. The wedding was originally planned to be outdoor in the gardens, but when rain threatened it was switched to the inside under one of West Baden's beautiful dome ceilings. The weather didn't damper Cheryl and George's spirit. They were all smiles and jokes all day!

Ted and Karen's Wedding



The sun was shining over Southeast Christian Church for Ted and Karen's wedding. What a fun group of people! The bridesmaids were ready to party before the wedding even started, which made for a lively precermony.

The reception was held at the Hurstbourne Country Club. We got some great footage of the bridal party hamming it up in front of the camera.



Best wishes Ted and Karen! Thanks for including us in your day.

Brittany and Brandon's Wedding

The highlight of Brittany and Brandon's reception at the Frasier Arms Museum was the formal dances. Brittany and her father did some last minute practicing right before she walked down the aisle. Their dance was perfect! During the bride and grooms first dance guests tossed gold coins at their feet following the Lebanese tradition.



We did have the pleasure of working with Jonathan and Rosemary from Monarch Photography. Rosemary was so friendly and worked with the couple great. You can check out their recent work on their blog.

Rebecca and Aaron's Wedding Highlight

We're back! The past couple months have been crazy busy and the blog has been neglected. I now vow to keep up with the blog and give you a glimpse into the great weddings we have been fortunate enough to capture so far this year.

Rebecca and Aaron were lucky to have the rain cease and the clouds part allowing the sun to shine on their beautiful wedding at The Gardens of Ray Eden.



They had a military wedding and Aaron had several of his Marine buddies there to wish them well. Rebecca was probably one of the most charismatic brides we have filmed. After the formal first dance she immediately went into performing the choreography of "Thriller." The guests loved it!



After the wedding, we walked the grounds with the couple filming the old court yard gardens, shade gardens and the lake.

Thanks Aaron and Rebecca for including us in you wedding day!

Greeting to all the soon to be Brides and Grooms!!

ICVideo is very excited about the upcoming wedding season and we are ready!! We are very fortunate to have so many brides and grooms that have chosen us to be a part of their special day.

If you liked the wedding videos we have produced in the past, you are going to love what we have planned for this year. Every wedding we try something new. Every new year we take it another level with innovation, style, and creativity unmatched by anyone else. In saying that, we have decided to upgrade our equipment to continue to set the standard for other videographers to follow. Some new software here, some new filming equipment there, ICVideo will continue to use a level of equipment in our incredible market that no one else can match. A couple of items in particular will truly set the bar very, very high.

ICVIdeo has also decided that it is in our best interest to stop posting all of our highlights on our blog for everyone to view. Instead, they will be posted with password protection. The bride's and grooms's family and friends will still be able to view the highlights by obtaining the password. There are two reasons we are doing this.

First is that in filming and providing you, the client, with such a detailed account of our day in our highlight videos, we unfortunately overheard another videographer tell an attendee at a wedding show that they had filmed at a location they had not. What they proceeded to talk to the client about was our video. It's sad and unethical. So as the vendor of choice for numerous local venues, we are going to discontinue giving our competition an inside look at the amazing weddings we cover.

Second is that other companies say they can do the same for less. It's simply not true. Our team is skilled professionals with a mix of broadcast and communication degrees, years of experience, and a passion to work together towards a common goal - creating a unique video for you, your family, and your friends to enjoy for years to come. Nothing creates a sense of discontent like having a client go with another vendor knowing they were promised "something comparable to ICVideo" and seeing the final product with poor filming and editing on another vendors website.

If you are interested in viewing any of our current work please call our office and set up an appointment. Our demo will continue to be viewable for you to see the emotion and heart we put into our filming. When you come to the office we will gladly show you a complete, recent wedding video as we provided to our couples. Not simply a best of video or wedding from two years ago (and you vendors reading this know your showing your best day from a long time ago...get with the times). We show a true look at an ICVideo production and what you can expect to receive when you book with us.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Production Manager

Courtney and Rodney's Preceremony Highlight

The Crystal Ballroom at the Brown Hotel is one of the most elegant venues in Louisville and rich in history. Courtney and Rodney married in this elegant ballroom surrounded by red roses and crystal chandeliers. Courtney was all smiles from the moment she put on her dress to the sparkler farewell at the end of the evening.

Their photographer was Ramon Rodriguez. Working with Ramon was a pleasure and we look forward to our upcoming weddings this year with Ramon.

Emily's Bridal Prep Highlight

Emily and Jerrod married at the gorgeous Gardencourt Estate on the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary Campus. The ceremony took place in the rose garden with all of the vivid red roses in bloom. Emily and her bridesmaids chose to get ready at the estate. She had several makeup artists and stylists come in to assist. My favorite time to film during a wedding is while the bridal party is getting ready. All of the nervous excitement can be captured and the couples usually love to see what the other was doing before the ceremony.

ICVideo was able to work with one of our favorite photographers at this wedding, Todd Nichols. He took a lot of stunning pictures that day. You can visit his blog to view some of his recent work.

Chelsae and Kevin's Ceremony Highlight

This is the couple's second of three highlights. It starts with the bride entering the Caldwell Chapel for the ceremony and ends with post ceremony pictures. We were able to walk over to the rose garden at Gardencourt to get some amazing shots. The couple's love for each other is very apparent in all the intimate moments in the video. The photographer was Adam Cole with Three Spot Images.

Morgan and Josh's Same Day Edit

Yesterday, ICVideo filmed the wedding of Morgan and Josh at The Olmstead. Morgan with the help of Shafox Weddings and Events decorated the Olmstead beautifully. Four large Christmas trees decorated the alter along with a huge bouquet of red flowers that hung from the ceiling. We did have the pleasure of working with the photographer Eric Graf.

This highlight was filmed and edited by the end of the reception. Morgan and Josh, along with their guest, enjoyed watching a recap of the special day.
