Flash Mob!
August 28th, 2011 by wilky1974Cassie, the Maid of Honor, planned a “flash mob” for her sister, the bride. Her sister, Jalee, is usually the one to pull surprises, but this time Cassie decided to pull one off, and she did so in style! This was a lot of fun filming!

Wedding Planning Tip Concerning Photographers/DJ’s/Videographers
August 4th, 2011 by wilky1974One of the things we have noticed over the years is that some wedding vendors, in an effort to make more money, keep adding additional services to what they have to offer. Pretty soon a DJ is also a photographer, then also a videographer, then also a full fledged wedding planner. However, they haven’t added anyone to their staff. Can you see the problem with this?
When you do this, the quality of each of your products goes down. It has to. That is, of course, unless you are a miracle worker! hahahha
For a while, we ventured into areas, testing what all we could do and we determined that it was better to just focus on one or two things and do them well, rather than try to do everything mediocre.
Another thing you need to make sure of, when booking a DJ or Photographer/Videographer, is that the person you spoke with – the person who sold you on his/her services, is the ACTUAL person who will be there on your wedding day. We have seen multiple instances over the years where the DJ at the reception was not the DJ they hired. One wedding always pops into my mind. Apparently the DJ overbooked and paid some young kids to do the reception. These kids didn’t know what they were doing, and they had NONE of the songs that the bride & groom requested for special dances – EVEN THEIR FIRST DANCE!
So make sure you get it in writing that the person who you want to be there, will ACTUALLY be there.
Happy Wedding Planning!

Kind words from our last wedding…..
July 29th, 2011 by wilky1974Thank you so very much for video taping my wedding!!! I absolutely love the video and am so glad that we were able to have you guys do the wedding. I highly suggest for people to get their wedding video taped. The day goes so fast, it’s great to be able to live it again through the video. I also highly suggest everyone use Wilkerson Studios, they were great to work with and made it affordable. Love the two camera shot, it caught every moment. I’ve only had the DVD for a few days and have already watched it twice. I sent the link from this blog to my friends and family and they had nothing but great and nice things to say about the video recap. I am purchasing extra DVDs so that all our parents can have a copy! Thank you so much for working with me and making it affordable to have a videographer!! I really appreciate everything!! I can’t thank you guys enough… everything was perfect!!!
