If you’ve been keeping track of LoveSpun, you know that recently I had the wonderful opportunity to attend  POSH 2010, an educational workshop for female filmmakers & photographers from around the globe.  When all of us came together it didn’t take long to realize that we are just scratching the surface on something huge.  I know in my local market of Sacramento, I am one of a few, if only, established female wedding filmmaker that I can find and even in San Francisco, a huge city,  in the Bay Area Professional Videographers Association I belong to, there are but a few female voices among the group.  This is not a “I am woman, hear me roar” sort of statement, just a reality that lady videographers have always expected.  There are so many amazingly talented men in this industry that I look up to, and motivated me to become the artist that I am today.

With that said, imagine now realizing that we have an instant support system overnight?  Other girls trying to run businesses, raise kids, be great wives, they just “get it!”  It was a powerful week of training and networking and the theme that rose to the top was that we have so much to offer to the wedding industry because of our feminine voice.  A wedding is after all, a little girl’s dream and WE are that little girl!

Inspired by our shared experiences in wedding industry, the attendees spontaneously decided to use our creative gifts to craft a short film illustrating the positive power and passion of women in the film industry.

Shot on location at POSH 2010, “We Create” was directed by Maura Coleman-Murray and Kara Jensen, filmed by Maribeth Ratajczyk and Luiza Perkowska, and edited by Meg Simone. All 42 POSH 2010 attendees collaborated on the piece.

Thanks for stopping by!

Awesome!!! For those of you who are  not familiar with TwinSoup.com, you might just be missing out on Sacramento’s inside scoop, or as they like to call it, “The Daily Dish.” Sarah & Rachel, beautiful twin sisters, blog about what’s all the rage in Sacramento, from fashion & beauty, to lifestyle & culture, to the best places to eat & drink and most importantly Sacramento’s hottest wedding vendors and trends.  I personally follow their blog; in fact I have even won concert tickets during one of their frequent “giveaway” contests.  The last couple of years they have hosted the Stiletto Crawl which is an annual girls’ night out of shopping, dining and socializing, all in high heels of course.  Being a fan of theirs, I was actually quite surprised when they contacted me for an interview.  I couldn’t be more pleased to be one of their picks for favorite Sacramento Wedding Videographer.  Read the full article here.

Recently, I had the great pleasure of filming a behind the scenes look at one of the features for Nonpareil Magazine’s current issue.  This dazzling issue of Nonpareil Magazine features weddings inspired by famous romantic movies & for this particular article, Yelena Johnson of The Stylish Soiree brings the movie Amelie to life with her French inspired design & styling.  Meg Perotti, the oh-so amazing photographer, was on hand to capture the fabulous imagery for the article.

This article is a must-read! Yelena lets us in on her secrets for this concept & design, and how you can incorporate these types of design techniques into your own wedding.
Nonpareil Magazine also featured our accompanying “handmade” film on their blog!  Thank you so much to Maddy & Kristen over at Nonpareil for showcasing a bit of LoveSpun on your blog! What an honor!!!

This was a particularly amazing project, not only because of the stunning artistry of the shoot, but for the opportunity to work with such an innovative team of professionals.  Here is the team:
