Cheerleading Video Time!!!!!!

One of the biggest events of our year is the annual 
World Championships of All-Star Cheerleading and Dance held on the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando Florida. We provide dynamic video coverage at the event, create graphic spinning logos for the event screens, and produce the All-Star industry awards the VIP Gala.

This year is going be the biggest and best Worlds there has ever been.  With competition heating up all around the globe, teams from the entire world will be competing for the title of World Champion!  One reason this is going to be the best Worlds yet is that it is the 10th Anniversary of these World Championships.  We created a graphic logo to help celebrate this milestone.

Backing up Hard Drives

Hi Bottlers! (I think I am going to call my blog audience that from now on! )

I was lucky!  I saw the signs coming!  I sit at my computer all day and I was aware that our backup hard drive was getting weak!  I heard the odd sounds, I smelled the heat.

So I pulled the important documents and Double backed them up!

Today my main backup hard drive is making such a terrible noise!  It sounds like a hamster chewing on a chalkboard.  Not sure if it will even boot!  

Do you know how much that stresses me out??  Very little! Because my backup is backed up! 

As a video and computer pro we encourage you to take your precious video memories, photos, documents and more and BACK THEM UP!  
You will be so glad that you didn't lose your life of work.  

Just wanted to pass that along to you!  

At Message in a Bottle we us G-Drives.  The drive that failed was our only Drive that isn't a G-Drive.

Check them out!  Back up your stuff!  And let up know if there are any of your video memories that we can help you preserve.

Sexton Wedding Wrap Up

Fun!  We could end this blog post here.  That is the only word that needs to be said about this wedding!  Sure we could use Beautiful, a Celebration of Love, Amazing, Heart-felt ....  but really, it was FUN!





The bride and groom had such a great sense of humor and the bridal party felt so comfortable that everyone had a good time.



The wedding was at the Woodland Hills Convention Center and we have never seen that place look better.

The groom hailed to Memphis to follow his bride from New Jersey.  If everyone is as cool in Jersey maybe we should move there!  Wait ....  it's cold there, so were staying right here!  In fact these it snowed on their wedding day here in Memphis!  It's a sign! ;)


The jewish ceremony was beautiful!  The Rabbi was a master of his craft and delivered a touching service that really celebrated the love these two shared and recognized the commitment they were making.


Dancing, Food, and Fellowship followed!

Thank you to everyone involved!  We had a great time getting to be a part of your special day!

 Check out their Wedding Wrap Up Video and make sure you watch all the way until the end!

Message in a Bottle's Ribbon Cutting

Today was a fantastic day for Message in a Bottle Productions!  

Our new website went live at www.messageinabottleproductions.com, our new Corporate Video Reel Debuted, and we were honored to have a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Collierville Chamber of Commerce.

Many of the Collierville Chamber of Commerce's Board of Directors, Ambassadors, and Staff were on hand to celebrate Message in a Bottle Productions becoming a member of the Collierville Chamber of Commerce.  We were honored to have been given the opportunity to celebrate all the hard work we have done to get Message in a Bottle Productions to this point.

The ribbon cutting began with a buzz in the air and everyone in attendance listened as Fran Persechini, President and CEO of the Collierville Chamber said some really touching words about us, our work, and the video that we made for the 2012 Collierville Person of the Year Kim Keough.  We were flattered that so many held our work in such high regard.  Next a countdown began and as everyone got to 0 we cut the ribbon signifying a new chapter in the Message in a Bottle Productions story.  After the cutting we got to say to few words of gratitude to those in attendance and all sat down for a wonderful lunch. My emotions welled up inside as I thought of the journey that we have taken to get to this point.  We have been so lucky and enjoyed so much success in our short history.  It seems hard to believe that only 6 years ago we were one man and one camera, just look at where we are now!

We take great pride in serving each and every client with our full attention, talents, and expertise. We take customer service seriously and don't rest until we have satisfied customers.  Message in a Bottle Productions joining the Collierville Chamber of Commerce is just another way to let our clients know that we are serious about filling their videography needs.





Message in a Bottle Productions is available for a wide variety of video projects.  We film weddings, events, corporate meetings, depositions, create dynamic videos for your website, create 3D versions of your logo, photo montages, and more.  If you have a video project in mind Message in a Bottle Productions is here to help make your vision become a reality.

According to an accredited marketing firm: 182 million U.S. internet users watched online video content for an average of 23.2 hours per viewer throughout the month. Are your customers watching your videos on your website?

It’s been shown that videos can increase the number of business profile clicks by more than 30%, business calls by 18%, website visits by 55%, and incidence of purchase by 24%. That results in more clients making more purchases!  Nothing can help sell your product or service on your website like a professional promotional video designed with your clients in mind.

Below you can see some samples of the MANY coporate video projects we have created.  Our customers have raved about their videos and reported great success.  Imagine your business as one of the businesses featured below.  

Again we want to thank the Collierville Chamber of Commerce for our ribbon cutting today, and for letting us be a part of their amazing organization.  Learn more about the Chamber on the website at www.colliervillechamber.com

Kevin Barré Photography - Memphis Wedding Photographer


"Elegance"

That is the word we use when describing Kevin Barré Photography.  If you are looking for stunning images of your special day that have a modern style and a dynamic feel then look no further than Kevin Barré Photography!  Kevin  has been Photographing Memphis Weddings for over 20 years and knows how to make your day stress free while capturing images that you will cherish for a lifetime!

When my brides ask me what they should look for in a wedding photographer I tell them to look for 3 things:
1. Style
2. Value
3. Attitude



1. Style: Look at these images! Kevin Barré has an elegant style unmatched in the Memphis Wedding market!  The smooth textures, expert lighting, and brilliant composition make his photos stand out above the pack.






 2. Value: How do you put a value on priceless memories?  How can you look at these images and not want an artist like this to spend your wedding day with you? Kevin's packages offer AMAZING value with bonuses like photobooks, images delivered on USB, canvas prints, and more!  These items are great, but the real value is having someone with as much experience as Kevin in charge of the memories of your big day!
3. Attitude:  You want a photographer at your wedding that is going to make you feel comfortable steeping out of your normal routine.  There is so much to do on your wedding day! You need a photographer that is driven to get you the results you desire, but laid back enough to go with the flow.  Kevin Barré is exactly that!  I have watched Kevin get amazing pictures in less than ideal situations without ever breaking a sweat. You need a photographer that has the attitude that they want to make your day better.  I have worked along Kevin at so many weddings where he has displayed this exact attitude that is so crucial to being a great wedding photographer.



Having worked with Kevin Barré Photography so many times we are so comfortable recommending him as one of the BEST wedding photographers in Memphis.  We have seen his images from so many weddings and every time we see them we are blown away at their clarity, quality, and style.  

Kevin Barré Photography also shoots engagement photos, special events, and more.
