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.

Bogle Productions was featured throughout the tour and at DeLille Cellars.

Vendor Highlight: Lacey Yantis of Visions of Romance

Wedding Photography by Visions of RomanceWhat is your name and company?
Lacey Yantis of Visions of Romance 

What inspired you to start your business?
Studying photography in the mid 1990s, I quickly fell in love with creating art through the lens of the camera. My own destination wedding took place in Lanikuhonua, Hawaii surrounded by 115 loving family and friends.  These two personal experiences and having the honor of working with our incredibly, artistic photographer resonated within me.  My love of photography combined with the passion, emotions and imagery of a wedding is what I wanted for my family owned and run business.

What sets you apart from other vendors in your field?
It is not really about pretty pictures, best compositions or perfect poses.  To me photography is about creating emotionally meaningful images.  It is about capturing something intangible that brings happiness and inspires.  I want my photography to show couples how beautiful they are, how precious their love is and how much they mean to the people around them. 

What's your style?Lacey of Visions of Romance captures the beauty of her couple
I believe that your wedding day is the first chapter in your new family story.  Our photographers and cameras become your storyteller meticulously capturing the images of your story as it naturally unfolds throughout the wedding day. Our mix of candid and beautifully composed shots capture the true essence of your wedding as it unfolds.  We are devoted to being there to get the shot naturally. Not only do we record the big events but carefully capture all of the telling details that make your wedding so special. By focusing on the bride and groom, their emotions and the relationships with family and friends, the photographs create a natural and honest record of your wedding day.  You will be able to relive your wedding as it happened from start to finish. 

What is the main thing that makes you unique?Telling love stories behind the lens by Visions of Romance
It’s not primarily about the camera or being a photographer.  The camera allows me to create and tell stories capturing the beauty that I see. I love to hear the pieces of people’s lives – the “why” behind their relationship. Stories are the threads in the fabric of our lives they make us and all of our relationships unique. It is the ability to turn spontaneous, romantic wedding moments into innovative images that are creative and artistic.

I am extremely passionate about creating authentic, genuine images of couples in love.   

What is your greatest strength?
Visions of Romance PhotographyA perfect blend of refined artistic style and our professional, yet personable and relaxed personality’s, are the key to successfully helping you feel at ease in your photographs on the most important day of your life.  This makes it easy to capture the beauty of your wedding day along with the spirit and emotion behind those three words, “I Love You” with beautiful artistic wedding photography. 

What are you most proud of?
Our brides and grooms extend an invitation for us to participate on one of the most important days of their lives. We are one of many hired professional vendors.  Along the journey to create the wedding photography package of the couple’s dreams, we become more than a vendor.  We take the time to foster a relationship of friendship.  In the midst of the splendor of the wedding day we arrive as friends at the conclusion of the evening we leave knowing that we were treated like family. 

 Visions of Romance was featured at Woodhouse Wine Estates and throughout the tour.  View many of her photos as she followed us throughout the day at the Weddings in Woodinville Gallery Page.

Butler Valet: Our valets are Jumping to please you! Photo by Creative Image PhotographyWhat is your name and company?
Jeremy & Stuart Butler of Butler Seattle, aka Butler Valet, Butler Transportation and Butler Wine Tours

What sets you apart from other vendors in your field?
We care, we take it personally.  We feel that doing a great job is the only way to operate.

What's your style?

Jeremy & Stuart Butler of Butler SeattleWhat is the main thing that makes you unique?

Vendor Highlight: Daphne Taylor of Creative Image Photography

Behind the lens, Daphne of Creative Image PhotographyWhat is your name and company?
Daphne Taylor of Creative Image Photography 

What inspired you to start your business?
I started my business three years ago to pursue my passion for beautiful photos. I wanted to be the type of photographer everyone dreams of – a friend, confidant, trusted professional – and to deliver the kind of creative, unique and fun photos that every bride dreams about. 

What sets you apart from other vendors in your field?
In order to capture a wedding, I spend time with the couple to learn their style and that is the backbone of our approach to every wedding. We don’t follow a formula and instead focus on capturing the event the way the couple wants to remember it. 

What's your style?
We have two styles that we combine into our own unique style. We blend Craig’s (Daphne's partner and husband) photojournalistic style and Daphne’s artistic style with a touch of tradition to capture our couples in hundreds fun and creative photos. We’re there with you as you primp, laugh and cry. 

What is the main thing that makes you unique?
We shoot every wedding with our two principal photographers – Daphne and Craig. As a team, we are able to capture moments that our couples don’t even remember happening – and they love this. 

What is your greatest strength?
Our creative and fun style along with our pragmatic approach is what ensures that we are able to deliver stunning photos every time. 

What are you most proud of?
We’re most proud at every wedding when we know that we have successfully captured the most important day in people’s lives and we love it when we see their faces light up as they look at their photos and albums.

Creative Image Photography was featured at JM Cellars.

You can meet Daphne and Craig at the Annual Snohomish Wedding Showcase Tour on May 22, 2011 where they will be featured at  Twin Willow Gardens.
