Sometimes this video production gig in Olympia keeps me so busy I don’t have time to post here as often as I’d like. Wedding videos represent a major tier of the work I do, and my first wedding of 2009 fell on the first day of spring. March 21st, a noteworthy date of significance to me, as I value dates that mark the changing of the seasons. The first day of spring, the first day of my wedding season, my first wedding of 2009, and the first time I’ve shot at two historic locations in Tacoma.

It was a beautiful wedding at Tacoma’s historic Holy Rosary Church. You know, that really big one you can see from I-5, on the hill overlooking the Tacoma Dome? Yeah, it was awesome. It’s pretty old too. Late 1800′s if I’m not mistaken. Finding intact structures that old in this state always impresses me, especially when they are still in operating condition, and still used on a regular basis. Okay, upon researching I find that the church was established in 1891, the current building was constructed in 1920. Still, it’s impressive, especially for a region lacking in old megalithic structures. Check out the video below and you’ll see the impressive exterior before the video follows Levi inside to the still excellent interior. (though I have to admit I didn’t much care for the blue)

Levi and Stephanie had a great wedding and a fun reception. I learned that when people go to Ohio State they sing the song “Sloopy” punctuated with chanting of O-H-I-O!!! Pretty interesting to say the least. The reception was at the historic Landmark Theater in downtown Tacoma, a fascinating building whose decor was riddled with masonic seals, egyptian flying discs, and other symbols of a masonic bearing.

Levi and Stephanie were very happy with their video, and said they would happily refer my services to anyone needing video production work or wedding documentation.

Congratulations Levi and Stephanie, it was great working with you!
