Shellie and Adam's wedding highlight

ICVideo had the pleasure of teaming up with Deanna Kaye Photography to capture Shellie and Adam's wedding at the Louisville Water Tower. Two great Something Blue Collective vendors give you an example of how photography and videography work so well together to capture all of the excitement of your wedding for you to treasure.

Carmen and Nick

Nick and Carmen's wedding in the Whitehall Gardens was an charming fall affair. We were honored to take part in one of Jessica Safley's last weddings as a planner. You can now find her working at the Seelbach.

After watching the video check out Something Blue Collective where Merrill Simmons gives you a private tour of Whitehall as wedding venue.

Missy and Kim Lee's Wedding

Missy and Kim Lee drove up from Elizabethtown to meet with us at our office for the first time and we hit it off immediately. We talked for about two hours on how great their wedding was going to be at the Cathedral of Assumption and how their reception at The Gillespie was promised to be entertaining. Kim Lee and Missy repeatedly mentioned that their friends and family like to have fun and they did.

The highlight during the ceremony was Missy's brother playing the alto sax. It brought a tear to the eyes of many in the bridal party. At the reception, Kim Lee and Missy's dance was amazing. Their remix of several songs into one entertaining show was phenomenal.

Side note: I love the song that they picked for their first highlight. Every time I hear it it gets stuck in my head.



Check out how incredibly in sync they are with the choreography of the first dance. I'm jealous.....I can't dance.



Congrats Missy and Kim Lee! I am sure you will have a great marriage.

Ask the Experts - ICVideo

We were published!!!! We were featured in the Louisville Bride Magazine in their "Ask the Experts" article for videography. We were very honored to be asked since they have never featured a videographer. Chuck and I give advice on what makes a good videographer, why a couple need a wedding video, video do and don'ts, advice for the budget conscience, and current trends.

You can check out the article here. Page 32

I Got a Feeling this was an awesome wedding with fun people!

Below is a reposted wedding trailer from Stephanie and Ricks wedding. Talk about fun and having a good time. People like Stephanie and Rick are the reason I know how fortunate I am to do what I love on one of the most important day of someone's life! A Louisville Zoo wedding that will forever be the "do remember at the zoo". Enjoy the trailer and as we get caught up several more videos to come from the wedding day.

Chuck and I have been working for months on this huge project. It is a video based website of over 30 of Louisville's elite wedding vendors educating you, the bride and groom. What is so great about this site is that it is not boring text you have to read, instead it is entertaining videos all with different topics pertaining to planning a wedding.

Would you like to learn....
how to chose the perfect fabric for your wedding dress-ask Couture Closet
how to develop your DJs playlist-ask Midnight Magic
what the difference between photojournalistic photography vs. portrait-ask Robert Burge
how to chose the perfect venue-ask Sharon with Memorable Celebrations
and it goes on and on

Over 30 vendors and over 90 minutes of videos

Today ICVideo and Something Blue Collective attended the Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal and Groom Wedding Show and we had such a good time. I was giddy with excitement over the website.

A special thanks to Deanna from Deanna Kaye Photography for helping spread the word about the website. She has graciously donated a engagement session with a 8 x 10 print to be given away on Jan. 31st. You can enter to win on the contact page of the SBC website.

We were in great company at the show with our booth mates being Carlos Morales from Midnight Magic DJ and Tyler Pelan with Lighting His World Photography. Both are very talented and featured on the SBC website.

Something big is coming tomorrow!!!!!

I am sooooo excited about tomorrow!! Chuck and I have been working so hard for months and we get to share it with everyone tomorrow at the Perfect Wedding Guide Bride and Groom Wedding Show. I don't want to give away too much but here's a hint:

Something old, something new, something borrowed, and .........

Come out and meet us! You won't want to miss it!

On a personal note:

My favorite X-mas present this year was a scarf crocheted by my sister. Aren't the best gifts the ones you know someone took enough time to make. Those are my favorite!
Chuck's favorite present was "The Hangover" on Blu-ray. That movie ranks in his top five of all time.
My favorite X-mas gift I gave was a framed picture of my sisters new puppy, Nekko. See below. Isn't he cute?
My New Year's resolution is to start running. Not that I am lazy, but I work so much that I never take time out to do anything for myself. This year I want be successful with the business, but also take the time to enjoy the rewards.

Happy New Year!

Emily and Matt's wedding

There had been rain in the forecast for about a week and rain clouds loomed overhead until only hours before the wedding. The clouds parted and a beautiful blue sky opened above for Emily and Matt's wonderful wedding at Gingerwoods Event Hall in Prospect.


The couple toured several venues and Emily knew that Gingerwoods would be perfect. She wanted to be married outside with all the horses and animals roaming in the pastors behind them.


We had the pleasure of working with our friend Tyler Pelan from Lighting His World Photography. Please check out his blog to see pictures from the wedding and his current work. He is very talented!




The couple chose another great vendor which made the night a great success...Kenny Sauters with Master of Music. Kenny is an absolute professional with lots of years of experience that makes any reception a party.

Please enjoy these two wedding highlights from their day.

Ashley and Winthrop

Ashley and Winthrop were wed downtown at St. Stephen Church.


Ashley and girls had a great time getting ready before the ceremony. Latanya with Hair IT Iz! (502-423-1110) did a great job making sure everyone was picture perfect for the camera.


The reception was held at the Olmstead. Their menu was incredible. The couple had about six pasta stations set up with chefs preparing everyone their own pasta dish of choice. It was great!!

Ashley and Winthrop are the winners for ICVideo's best first dance of 2009 award. Their dance was choreographed perfectly and ended with both of them collapsing to the floor. It was very entertaining!!


Ceremony Highlight



Reception Highlight

Amanda and Graham's Reception Highlight

Graham and Amanda had a great reception at Spindeltop. We have never attended a wedding that had so many guest dancing from the minute the dance floor opened up until long after we left.


Make sure you check out the wedding cake! The couple chose a white cake with silver bows and fresh flowers of pink and purple.


Thank you Amanda and Graham for including us in your day we had a blast.

Amanda and Graham's Highlight

Meet Graham and Amanda! They were wed in Lexington and had their reception at Spindeltop Hall. Amanda's brother gave a great trombone solo to start the ceremony and Graham's father was the officiant.


The highlight of the ceremony was the bride and groom's recessional when they danced down the aisle.



It was apparent that the couple had lots of family and friends in attendance that loved them very much.

This is one of my favorite highlights of the season. The music the couple chose was fun and the highlight reflects all of the excitement and joy of the day.

Check out the star fairy that was the niece of Amanda. Too cute!! My favorite clip is when a guest enters before the ceremony and sees how cute the little girl is and says "Oh my" and melts to the floor. See if you can catch it!

Amanda and Graham's second highlight will be posted in the next couple days. Check back!

Camron and Nick's Wedding Trailer

Just a teaser trailer from Camron and Nick's wedding at Whitehall. Trailers are posted after the wedding and before the final production is delivered. They are about one minute in length. They are not meant to give away the details of the wedding just to make you want more. Enjoy!

Ashley and Everett

Ashley and Everett chose a large bridal party and they were so fun. They were ready to party long before the ceremony even began.


At this exact moment Jay May was taking his bridal portraits of Ashley. Meanwhile....


Ashley's bridesmaids starting serenading her with Madonna's "Like a Virgin."



My favorite part of the ceremony highlight is watching the wild beast whisk Ashley and Everett away to the reception at the Brown Hotel.

Bridal and Groom Show

Kari & Chris

Meet Kari.

She married Chris


at the Middletown Christian Church


and had a very fun reception at the Louisville Slugger Stadium.


They were escorted in on a Gator for their grand entrance.


We had so much fun shooting this video. Being able to get shots on the field was great. Thanks Kari and Chris for including us in your day!

Bart and Lisa

This weekend we found ourselves in Bardstown at the Basilia of Saint Joseph's Proto-Cathedral for Lisa and Bart's wedding. We had a great time working with the photographer Robert Burge. Robert made the "must have" portrait sessions fun and enjoyable.



The reception took place at My Old Kentucky Home. The bride and groom were announced in the Visitor Center's Great Hall to the UofK fight song. After dinner the festivities continued outside under the Rotunda.

Kellie and Adam

A beautiful wedding at Briar Rose Estate. Kellie and Adam exchanged vows on the front porch of the estate. It was a perfect summer day with horses roaming and swans swimming.


The reception took place nearby under a huge tent. The couple was presented by a bugle playing the call to the post. Virginia with Mert's Cakes designed a gorgeous cake towering high adorned with fresh flowers.


The highlight of our day was filming the couple down on the pier of the lake. It was such a romantic location.

Jennifer and Dale

What love is meant to be. Dale and Jennifer were wed at St. Agnes and held their reception in the beautiful grand ballroom at The Henry Clay. What impressed me the most about this couple was that they took in every moment and enjoyed every minute. There were only very few times that you could find one without the other. They could not have made our job easier.

Amy Shephard was the photographer. She is an expert on lighting and you can check out some of the photos on her blog.


Jennifer's dress was so special since her mother wore it when she married Jennifer's dad.


The bride coordinated her colors to match the ballroom. The wedding cake matched the yellow walls and was adored with white daisies.




Jennifer surprised Dale with a drum set.


Entertainment was provided by Dale and a few of his guys preforming YMCA.

A beautiful wedding on a gorgeous day at Lakeside Reflections.

Faith and Aaron

The blog has suffered for two weeks because my family and I have been enjoying the sun, palm trees, and sandy beaches of the Carribean. Now I am re-energized and looking forward to our upcoming weddings, along with our busy fall season.

From the time we viewed Aaron and Faith's engagement photos, we knew that they would be a fun couple to film. The best picture was simple, but perfect. The couple was very carefully balancing on top of a red concrete ball at Target. They loved it!

Throughout their reception no matter what was going on in the room you could always catch the couple glancing at each other beaming with happiness.

Congratulations Faith and Aaron! We hope you have a wonderful life together.
