For many reasons, April is one of my favorite months of the year! Here's just a couple of them: 1. It finally starts to feel Spring-y. 2. My sons' daycare does a fundraiser for St Jude Children's Research Hospital and I just LOVE fundraising for charity! No sarcasm there - I really enjoy it. :) So this year we'll be donating 10% of all video production services booked during the month of April to St Jude's. This includes wedding videos, virtual tours, commercials, instructional videos, etc. These services can be for any date, during any month, they just have to be reserved by April 30, 2014. Contact us at 931-920-4220 or info@turningpointproductions.com for more information!
I was thrilled when Emily told me that her and her fiancee Sean wanted a Love Story to play at their reception! I love that I was able to get to know Emily and Sean a little before I filmed their wedding day, and shooting their Love Story gave me the opportunity to do so. Plus, it was fun to learn about their history together and what lead them up to their big day. Listening to how they speak about each other and watching how they interact with each other, it's obvious how in love they are and how they are just meant to be! I love that when I asked them individually "when did you know that ____ was the one?", they both gave the same response. :) Also, the story of Sean's proposal is so cute and funny - they really are a great couple! I'm so happy that I was able to meet Emily and Sean and be a part of their special day.
I had such a great time at Becky and Allen's wedding! Becky owns Rewind Academy of Dance here in Clarksville, and I met her last year when she contacted us to film her studio's recital. Later on, some family, friends, and I took a dance class at Rewind (we are HILARIOUS dancers) :) and we were so excited when Becky booked us to film her wedding day!
Becky and Allen are such an easy going couple, which always makes the wedding day more fun. Now, let me just say, I've been to a lot of wedding ceremonies, and I do mean A LOT. But there were 3 awesomely unique moments from Becky and Allen's ceremony that I just love!
1. They said their vows at the same time (at least, they were supposed to). :)
2. The big, collective "Awwwww" by all of their guests right after they kissed.
3. Their post-kiss high five (I do love a good high five).
I hope you enjoy watching these wonderful ceremony moments in their highlights film!
SO, earlier this week, I decided to create a Google+ page for Turning Point Productions. Somehow, in the process of trying to connect the new Google+ page with our YouTube channel, I managed to delete our channel and ALL of our videos. Needless to say, I was distraught. But, at the end of the day, it's nothing that can't be fixed. So, after slapping myself with some perspective, the next day at work I re-uploaded all of our most recent videos on our brand new YouTube channel, which I successfully linked to our Google+ page...I think. Click here or visit youtube.com/solsticebridal to see our new YouTube channel. And then don't forget to click here and follow us on Google+.
Brianna and Ethan had such a happy, romantic wedding day. They were so excited and so ready to get married, and there was so much love and support from family and friends at their wedding. I love that we were able to be a part of their special day and film all of the sweet moments that they had together. Here's their trailer film - a little sneak peak from their beautiful wedding day!
Last month, my beautiful sister got married in Charlotte, North Carolina! Whoo hoo!! It's been a LONG time since I went to a wedding where I wasn't working and I absolutely LOVED it! Since my husband and I were in the wedding party, we were unable to film the wedding day. My sister's planners, Jill and Katie of The Charmed Event, referred us to the always wonderful Hayzen's Productions, who filmed the event and then sent us the footage to edit. I edited together this Trailer for my sister and now brother-in-law - we had SO MUCH FUN and I really wanted to convey that in the first film that they got to watch from their wedding day.
It's that time of year again! Seniors are getting ready to graduate from high school and go on to college. For us, that means it's sport's highlights season! High school athletes who are hoping to play in college need highlight reels to send to colleges, so they often come to us with their footage from recent games, and we edit the best shots together to make their highlights videos. Thanks to YouTube, most athletes don't have to send DVDs to recruiters any more; we upload the highlights film to YouTube and then the players can send the link to college recruiters so they can watch it online.
Here's a sample football highlights film that we edited last year. (reminder: this is not our footage - just our editing)
The above video was for a junior at Clarksville Academy. Because, in football, it's hard to know which player to watch at the beginning of a play, the client asked me to highlight the player with a red square. We customize each sport's highlights film at the client's request. Below is our most recent highlights film. This one is for a senior at Clarksville High School, and the client asked that his footage be edited to a requested song.
If you're in the market for a sport's highlights film, please contact us at 931-920-4220 or e-mail info@turningpointproductions.com. Our sport's highlights packages include the customized edited film on DVD and uploaded to YouTube.

Candice and Mark's wedding day was perfect! They were such an easy couple to work with - they were so happy and so fun - we really couldn't have asked for a better bride and groom to film! They had a wonderful ceremony, with a fun, memorable vow typo, followed by the most bird seed filled leave that we have ever filmed! Their reception at was awesome - we loved the openness of the venue, topped off with livestock and a live band. :) Everything was really amazing and we loved editing it all together for Candice and Mark! Below is their Wedding Day film. Candice had mentioned to me before the wedding that Joel Brown would be playing at their reception. They were also the band that was playing the night that Candice and Mark met, so I made sure to include a Joel Brown song in their Wedding Day film. Enjoy!
Allison & David had such a fun wedding day, filled with lots of amazing moments, including a horse & carriage ride, choreographed bridesmaids dance, and more! I loved filming their gorgeous ceremony at Glen Raven Mansion, followed by their reception at The Center in Springfield, TN. Allison & David were so fun to work with and it was really a pleasure capturing their wedding day, which they spent surrounded by lots of wonderful friends & family.
I loved this couple & their wedding day! Hannah & Dustin were so sweet and so laid back. They seemed to have such a stress-free wedding day and you could really feel the love at their ceremony, surrounded by LOTS of friends & family. It's always a pleasure filming a happy couple, so I wanted to give Hannah & Dustin a highlights film as happy as they were that day.
One of my all-time top 5 fav things at a wedding is a live band, so when I found out Hannah & Dustin were having Black Widow perform at their reception, I knew this was going to be an awesome wedding day! This super sweet couple had a beautiful ceremony in downtown Springfield, TN, followed by a rockin reception at a nearby farm. Check out their trailer film, which mixes shots from their ceremony with footage of them dancin the night away!
Olivia and Jeff had a big wedding - lots of family, lots of friends, lots of guests, lots of fun! Yet somehow, even though they were hosting quite the shindig, they managed to have a truly intimate ceremony and reception. The lighting at the ceremony focused your attention of what was important - the bride & groom - and their dj provided fabulous lighting at the reception so the dance floor was always on display. I had a great time at this wedding and I really enjoyed editing this wedding day highlights film. Enjoy!
