A few days before Christmas Joy and me filmed and photographed Singer Thomas Spencer-Wortley, All Angels and guest appearance of Camilla Kerslake at Birmingham Town Hall. Thomas gave a superb performance and the whole evening was amazing to film. The stage, colours and lighting were beautiful with a stunning performance from each artist!!!

I have since developed a Promotional Video for Thomas from the footage which will be used to promote him throughout the world. Due to copyright issues I am unable to display the video on this site which is a real shame. A few of Joy’s pictures from the evening are below. We are unable to show anything with the Choir Visible due Copyright. But will be able to add more of the other artists once permission has been given.

Lumbers Jewellery Party

VIP Event at Lumbers Jewellery Shop

A few weeks ago I filmed at Lumbers Jewellery Store which had been transformed into a Michelin Star Restaurant for 3 nights on the run up to Christmas. Champagne in the Yellow Diamond Showroom, models exhibiting Jewellery and a 4 course meal followed by X Factor Star Ruth Lorenzo performing to the audience. What a night!!!

I got some really great shots from the night which has made a beautiful Cinematic event video. Here are the highlights/montage from the evening:

HD Wedding Video

HD Wedding Video

HD Wedding Video

Beautiful Life specialise in HD Wedding Video. All our weddings over the last 3 years have been filmed in HD. So if you have a Blu-ray DVD player or a Playstation 3 then you will be able to see your wedding video as it was meant to be seen. HD quality is 6 x that of a standard DVD. All previous weddings filmed in HD are stored and archived safely meaning that you can still order your wedding on Blu-ray even if you were one of the first to be filmed in HD 3 years ago.

Geeky Info

High definition (HDTV) is the highest form of digital television. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio which is very similar to that of a cinema screen. Your eyes adjust far better to a rectangular screen compared to a square screen as your eyes always prefer to go left to right rather than up and down to take in information. With a wide screen you can see so much more detail which is great for wedding videos and movies. But HD television is mainly about the quality. 1080i is all about the amount of lines of information in the picture. Basically the more lines the better the picture quality.

The normal standard of television is 720 x 576 compared to 1280 x 1080 – which is a big difference and makes all the more difference on larger tv’s. 1080p is better than 1080i.P stands for progressive and i stands for interlaced. Progressive processes the images twice as fast and so shows a smoother picture than the interlaced version.

We film your wedding using HDV 1080i Sony Video Cameras for excellent quality. We then edit your wedding video in High Definition and then convert it to Standard definition for DVD (if you just have a normal DVD player) play back or transfer it to Blu-ray HD DVD (if you have a blu-ray player or Playstation 3) for viewing.

Let us know if you would like to order your HD Wedding Video or Blu-ray wedding Video by calling us on 01509 505438.

Why have a wedding Film

Why have a wedding Video?

Let’s face it a Wedding Video is a Luxury item when it comes to a wedding. However, having a professional wedding Video made has so many benefits. Bride and Grooms literally spend thousands of pounds picking professional photographers, professional florists, wedding cars, venues, wedding cakes and food and often it’s the wedding video that pretty much comes last. So should you have a wedding video and is it worth the additional cost? I think absolutely yes!! The reason I think wedding videos and wedding films are worth investing in is because a professional wedding video is the only service that will bring everything together and show you a real overview of your day. It’s not just about capturing smiles like photography often does, but it’s about capturing the very essence of the Bride and Groom and showing their personality and characters through the captured images. A wedding film is about telling someones story  and creating something that shows the detail and emotion of your day and bring’s your memories back to life each time you watch your wedding film.

Please give us a call on 01509 505438 if you have any questions about why you should have a wedding film. We would love to chat to you (we don’t bite) about your day and help with any advice you may require. Our particular approach to wedding films will put you at ease because we are discreet at all times (have a look at our testimonials page) and film you very naturally with minimum disturbance to your day.

Anyway, have a look at some of my wedding videos and films and see for yourself. Gone are the days of cheesy shaky wedding films and in are the days of stunning cinematic wedding video.
