What would I tell an engaged couple?
Recently, I was asked “What is the most important thing to know about a wedding videographer before we hire?” I had to think about that for a bit, because there were so many things you should find out about a potential videographer, that I couldn’t pick just one – at first. Of course, you would want to see samples of the finished work – do you like the style of the finished films? Was it a quality film? (no shaking, clear sound, interesting footage, appropriate music ) But the quality of the filming was actually not the one thing that I ended up choosing to answer that question.
The most important thing about a videographer is his (*) commitment to spending the time and energy to become thoroughly acquainted with the engaged couple and the dynamics around them. He must become familiar with their tastes and styles.
As a professional videographer, I aim to use my skills to capture a true cinematic look and feel.

The Great Wedding Giveaway – or – My Month of Riding on the Jen Osojnicki Express….
What a fun ride I had on the Jen Osojnicki Express this past month. It started in the beginning of February when Jen asked if I would like to be included in her 2nd Annual Great Wedding Giveaway. I couldn’t have been happier to offer my wedding videography services to the package of almost $20,000 worth of services and products she was putting together for some lucky couple. Aside from providing a fun, exciting contest for brides, Jen wanted this contest to be a way to recognize and support local vendor companies. “I’m astounded at the generosity I’m seeing from local businesses in this contest, and I want to help get the word out about it. When small business owners band together, great things happen!”
Well, the news broke on February 10 to the media outlets and via the close to 20 vendors/service providers involved in the Big Wedding Giveaway. –- Couples were instructed to write an essay telling their story—how they met and fell in love—including details about why they deserved to win the prize, and send the essay, along with a recent photo of the couple to Jen. She received lots and lots of essays. Many of the essays made her cry. One was from a couple who had been together since they were 9 years old. Another bride offered to eat bugs and jump through a ring of fire to win the wedding giveaway. Jen noted that a good percentage of the essay submissions were from the groom-to-be. She thought that was sweet.
All of the essays were reviewed by a judging panel and the finalists were narrowed down to the 4 that touched them the most. These four stories were posted on Jen’s website so folks could review the finalists and vote for their favorites.
Then….the fun really started. These 4 couples got busy getting everyone they knew, and more to go on to the website to vote for their own story. In the three days after the voting started, Jen’s website had 12,000 hits ! These couples got very creative too. Some of the couples made their own YouTube videos. Some of them tweeted to celebrities to ask for retweets and votes.
The suspense was lifted when, on March 6, Jen announced that Nick Schleicher and Kaitlyn Myers of Norton, MA were the second annual Big Wedding Giveaway winners
This coming Wednesday, March 28, the lucky couple will be honored at a reception in their honor at the Colonel Blackinton Inn in Attleboro where they will be presented with their winnings and give them a chance to meet their product and service providers. I am looking forward to meeting Kaitlyn and Nick. I am especially looking forward to creating a wedding video for them that will allow them to relive the magic of their wedding day for years to come.
DetailsIntroducing Nathan Suher, Filmmaker
For years, I’ve been filming and producing high-quality wedding videos as Wedding Reels Video. Today, I am thrilled to announce some big changes!
Wedding Reels Video will now be known as Nathan Suher, Filmmaker, with a new website: www.nathansuher.com and Facebook page. The old site will be active for some time to allow a smooth transition. Besides the new name, here are a few ways I’m changing to better serve my valued clients:
New website: The new website has been beautifully designed and updated by a real dream team of professionals! I am grateful to Aileen McDonough of 3am Writers, Erin Sweeney of Erin Sweeney Design, and Jon Guinn of NetNoticed for making it a work of art that brides will enjoy browsing. Much of the gorgeous photography on the site was provided by photographer Jen Osojnicki.
Upgrades for even higher quality: We’ve upgraded our equipment and systems for wedding videos of truly superior cinematic quality.
Bigger, better wedding video packages: New wedding packages have been developed to offer even more options to clients. Brides deserve the best, and these packages provide it!
I’ve made these changes to let the world know: This is not your typical wedding videography—it’s so much more. As a filmmaker, my mission is to tell stories, and a wedding is a beautiful love story. Nathan Suher, Filmmaker creates wedding films that capture the moment at the very beginning of that love story, so it can be relived, enjoyed, shared, and kept as an heirloom for years to come.
I look forward to your feedback on the new website! As always, referrals to friends and family are the highest compliment you can give.
Here’s to a fantastic 2012 wedding season!
