Vendor Highlight: Cory Bogle of Bogle Production

Wedding Videography by Bogle ProductionsWhat is your name and company?
Cory Bogle of Bogle Productions 

What inspired you to start your business?
I have always had a passion for filmmaking. I attended a film and video program at the University of Washington. I decided to start my own company and began filming weddings and enjoyed it as an avenue for story telling. I enjoy creating cinematic films and capturing people’s special day.

What sets you apart from other vendors in your field?
I think it starts with really quality cinematography. It’s also the art of capturing the day while respecting that it is wedding and not a movie set. We try to be as un-obtrusive as possible. We also edit a full Feature Film as well as a Highlight version for posting on the web. 

What's your style?
Our style is Candid, Journalistic, Documentary and Cinematic. 

What is the main thing that makes you unique?
I think it’s the ability to film each wedding as a movie happening in real time. Filming things that are happening on the fly and capturing it in a way that tells a story with different camera angle.  Also the scoring of music that we do in the editing is what really creates the mood and emotion in a wedding film.

What is your greatest strength?
Both cinematography and editing but it all start with the cinematography. You can only do so much with bad footage so it is really important to have a skilled cinematographer with a lot of experience filming weddings.

What are you most proud of?
I am most proud that I have been successfully creating wedding films for over 18 years and still going strong and still enjoy what I do.
