Thu, Apr 21 2011 10:22 | Mike Farmer, videography, Elegant Impressions Package, Samples, Grand Tradition, purple, Cermony Highlights, 2 cameras, Bob Hoffman Video and Photography, Reception | Permalink We met Caroline and her mom at a Bridal Bazaar and we loved them right away. Caroline actually came back later in the show and booked us on the spot! We encourage this type of behavior, although we know it's rare :)

Caroline and Scott met in college and had an incredible romantic wedding on really the most perfectly beautiful San Diego day! We did their entire wedding with two cameras, plus some surprise third camera footage from Tara and her little new HD cam!

Here is their romantic wedding day highlight from the Grand Tradition! I shouldn't spoil the video, but I definitely got a bit emotional seeing the carriage ride in with her dad. That really is magical. I loved seeing their parents watching them during the ceremony and Caroline & Scott "dancing" with grandma via skype at the reception. Caroline is a cheer coach and all her girls were there to cheer them on at various parts of the reception. Adorable.

We love working at the Estancia La Jolla, and we were thrilled to make a wedding demo for them comprised of weddings we have shot there over the past few years. Below is the short version of what we created for them, the longer version that really shows off the property can only be seen in our office or theirs :) I love everything about the Estancia and I love this video because it really shows off their property and our wedding video style all at once.

Wed, Nov 25 2009 12:12 | Mary Bowerman, videos, Point Loma, bob hoffman video, Tom Ham's Light House, Samples, Bay Club Hotel | Permalink Jen found us from our ad on theknot.com. Videography was important to her because some of her family were unable to make the wedding. Plus she understood the value of having such a precious celebration on video for years to come. She and Jason stayed at The Bay Club hotel and had their ceremony at Point Loma Nazarene University where Jen went to school. Everybody feared rain, but as it turned out, the pre-rain clouds made for one of the most beautiful sunsets we have ever captured on video! Following the ceremony guests enjoyed the sunset with a group photo and toast in place of a cocktail hour. Their Reception took place at Tom Ham's Lighthouse.

Jen chose our Timeless Memories package and we captured the day with two cameras at the ceremony and one at the reception.
Enjoy their recap:

Mary Bowerman helped plan their beautiful day!
p.s. LOVE LOVE LOVE the sparkler grand exit!!

Jen and Jason - Thank you for the opportunity to attend your beautiful wedding. You are adorable together!

Thu, Oct 29 2009 10:03 | Samples, Why Video, Jargon | Permalink You have read every bridal magazine on the planet, but sometimes 
it's hard to decode what your vendors are talking about. 
Video happens to be our specialty, so let us help you:

1-Cam/ 2-Cam
This refers to the number of cameras that will be used at your 
wedding. When one camera is used you have only one angle. 
However, two cameras can capture mom and dad crying during 
the ceremony and your faces as you say your vows. The editor 
can cut back and forth. Two cameras can also improve audio 
quality since each camera allows for two channels of sound. 
Generally, 2-cam is necessary for the ceremony, but only 1-cam 
for the reception.

Authored
Authoring is the process of creating custom chapter points or 
"scene selections" on your video. It is fairly time consuming, 
but makes for a very impressive way to view your wedding.

HD Video
High Definition  (HD) is the future of the industry. 
The equipment is still expensive for studios and consumers to 
acquire, but it is slowly becoming more affordable. HD is six 
times better than a standard DVD.

For more video term clarification email Amanda at 
events@bobhoffmanvideo.com anytime.

Wed, Apr 1 2009 01:31 | live feed, Manchester Hyatt, Samples, montage, mad dash, Immaculata, Wayne Foster Entertainment | Permalink This wedding was at the Immaculata and the Hyatt Manchester.
Please watch this video at least up until the vows. We shot the
ceremony with three cameras, so you can see EVERYTHING,
his tearful expression, her smile, the guests! We even included
multiple camera angles of their kiss! This recap version makes
me tear up every time I see the vows and the kiss.

The ceremony is soo romantic and the reception is so fun.
At the reception we went all out with two camera people
and a live feed of the entertainment (the amazing
Wayne Foster Entertainment), toasts and dancing projected
onto screens for all of the guests to see. We also did a photo
montage with a "mad dash" ending...all of the guests at the
reception were able to relive the ceremony just a few hours
later! It was a fantastic wedding that we are still talking about
years later. Thank you Jennifer and Joey for allowing us to
be a part of your wedding day.
