It's so nice to have the dance recitals that we at Envisioned Video annually film back happening again. We love recording these shows especially because the kids give us a good dose of energy!

While not all clients want to see an online sneak preview of their wedding video when they request one, we are glad to oblige. So Naomi Pacetti Quinn and Dan Quinn use a link to see your rough-edit peek of your upcoming video! http://www.envisionedvideo.com/previews/Quinn.m4v

Past clients and good friends Kevin and Tina Tamburro-Hughes were married on 02-02-2002 and recently celebrated anniversary #20 on 02-02-2022. To help them celebrate I dug out the old SVHS footage to see if I could modernize the video a bit. There were a lot of tools that just weren't available 20 years ago. Use the link below to see a short, updated recap of their wedding day. http://www.envisionedvideo.com/previews/Kevin_and_Tina_20.mp4

The newest Mrs. Simms sent me an email in which she wrote, "Stephen and I watched our wedding video last night. We were blown away by it! Thank you so very much. I told Stephen that I felt like I got to experience our wedding day more fully through watching the video. You did a great job capturing different moments throughout our special day.

Also, I just wrote a review for you on the Wedding Wire. :)"

Well thank you Mrs. Simms!

Video from the 1999 SS. Cosmas & Damian Feast - MoreThanTheCurve

Recently, MoreThanTheCurve.com, a site about happenings in the Conshohocken area, mentioned some vintage work from La Penna's Envisioned Video in a post. Back in 1999 Len La Penna and Jim Moore Montemurro manned the cameras as we documented five Italian-Catholic feasts in the Conshohocken/Norristown/Bridgeport area. We wanted to capture the ongoing wonders and status of these events as we headed into the 2000s. It was in the early days of learning our trade. We did capture enough of the feelings and flavor that you can almost taste the fried dough as you watch. If you are from the area you may enjoy taking these trips down Memory Lane.

In 1999, Len LaPenna and Jim Moore attended local feasts at traditionally Italian, Roman Catholic parishes and social clubs and … Continue reading "Video from the 1999 SS. Cosmas & Damian Feast"

On their wedding days couples find themselves on top of the world.

A baptism can be a very hectic event but there comes a point where everyone agrees that it is time for things to quiet down. Even little Alexandros agrees. Congratulations and blessings! Thanks for once more letting La Penna's Envisioned Video be part of this great family day.

A WEDDING VIDEO IS A MUST, RIGHT? "Phil and I are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary today. We watched our video on Friday night and as always it brought me to tears. I still can’t get over how well you captured the perfect day for us. The video is wonderful to watch this many years later as, unfortunately, some of the people are no longer with us. I just wanted to thank you again and tell you what a beautiful video you gave us!"

This New Year's Eve Bridgette and Kevin will celebrate their ten year anniversary. Even before the party started the night was memorable. Because of the Mummers' Parade many roads were already blocked off making it a real challenge to get to The Union League of Philadelphia. The night was well-planned and a great party! Congratulation on the first 10 years!

IT WAS 10 YEARS AGO TODAY when I recorded a wedding video that contained this single frame within it. In 30 years of filming this is one of the best looks I've ever seen a bride give her man during a first dance. Congratulations Nicole Sousa Cahall and Chris Michael!

COVID-19 has hit many of my favorite event professionals pretty hard financially. Fortunately, I have reached a point in my career where I can weather this storm okay. That said I know EVERYBODY will be ready to work and party when the time comes!👨‍🎤🎬🎧🤹‍♀️🎥🎉🎊

Over the years Facebook has gotten more and more strict about featuring video that contains copyrighted music. I keep getting notices that many of the once okay videos on this site have now been muted. Music is a big part of so many of the events that we film like weddings and recitals. Sorry about the inconvenience but to argue with Facebook would be a mute point. (I couldn't resist!)

With this virus pretty much shutting down the wedding season in 2020, I was reminded of a groom who on his wedding day years ago, would have felt much better home in bed. He had an incredibly bad cold that just kept getting worse as the night went on. But he was a trooper and I had nothing but admiration for his determination to party as best he could.

We all love those first signs of spring like spotting the first robin or a flowering plant and hearing the sound of baseball bats. For many years a sign of spring for me has been the Evergreen
Elementary
School Variety show that I film every year. Due to the pandemic it is now officially postponed and likely to be canceled. Many students participate in the show every year from kindergarten through fifth grade. Only a decree from the governor could break the streak of shows but this is a group that will definitely bounce back! So break a leg and wash your hands!

8 Leap Years Ago as of 2/29/2020

DATELINE FEBRUARY 29, 1988: La Penna's Envisioned Video records our first paid wedding video on a Monday night! That was 8 Leap Years ago. The couple was David and Linda Gable. I was still deejaying and like everyone else in those days my daughters were learning to be 'videographers' as I entertained. After months of practicing and giving away the footage we went pro! See the now sepia toned faded (32 years old) VHS footage below. If you have valuable memories still on tape we can convert them to digital media for you. The older they get the more they will fade.

While channel-surfing I came upon an old favorite B&W movie. Even though I own a DVD of the film I decided to watch a bit of it. I ended up watching the whole movie, commercials and all! If you're someone who hasn't watched your wedding DVD in some time it might be nice to pop it into the player for a "few minutes" this Valentine Day. It would be a fun and tender way to spend a couple hours.

When we receive a wedding inquiry I'll often send the contact a link to a sneak preview of a past wedding reception that took place at the venue where the contact is planning their festivities. Tonight I looked at a preview that included an October snowball fight at the Penn Oaks Golf Club and it brought back fun memories.
