My wife and I were married on May 21st of 2005. It was perhaps one of the most important days of our lives and it almost went by too fast, but we have a chance to look back on the events of that busy time in the form of a video. Now normally when you think about wedding videos, you recall them being “amateurish” or one sided in nature. It often only captures a small portion of the events that occur during a wedding ceremony and the events to follow.
The video that Paul Curfman shot for us however, is unique in that it tells a complete story using both imagery and a soundtrack that captures perfectly our special day. Paul gave family and friends a chance to speak on camera before the ceremony and in one particular shot, you hear my mother’s voice tell of how she had prayed for someone to come into my life. He then intertwines the music of “Somewhere in the World” into the video as you see images of my wife as a little girl followed by clips of us taking our engagement photos together. This really meant a great deal to us because he managed to capture the moments in between the shots during our engagement pictures where we were nervously smiling at one another. It is just incredible how he managed to tie that into our wedding day.
Paul also gave us many humorous moments to look back on as well, from the slow motion bouquet toss (and the subsequent bridesmaid injury), to the break dancing nephews, and last but not least, the nervous groom before the wedding. All of these things are so important for us to look back on.
My wife and I are two people that have a strong faith in the Lord. One gift contained within the video is that our faith can easily be seen: in the interviews beforehand, the images of the church during “Goin to the Chapel”, and the footage of the service itself. Paul’s editing skills are second to none and yes we are obviously partial to our own wedding video but this is the first video I’ve seen where people have come into our home wanting to watch it again. We have something in our possession that we can share with both friends and family with great joy. We would like to personally thank Paul Curfman for his hard work and thoughtful dedication to our wedding video. We never imagined that such a personal touch could be applied to an event that means so much to the both of us.

Signed,

Michael and Ginny Mitchell
