COMMITTED! 2012 Videography Sponsor // Black Label Event Films

Have you seen the RAD video from last year's event? It was produced by our Videography Sponsor, Black Label Event Films! The first time we saw the video it literally brought tears to our eyes. Karyn of Black Label Event Films is something special. She is ridiculously talented and such a pleasure to work with.
Black Label Films has a way of bringing out incredible emotion to their films. Just by watching the film, you feel like you are truly there! It's the same with their wedding films. They create and produce amazing wedding films that are like mini motion pictures. If you are "thinking about video" for your wedding - STOP THINKING- just do it. Promise you won't regret it. Here's one of our faves! Check it out, take a peek...
