Our Wedding Anniversary
It really is so hard to believe that it has been 15 years since Debbie and I were married. Our day was very intimate. We rented a house on Ft. Myers beach. The ceremony took place near a patch of trees just feet from the beach.

Deb and I had an awesome sushi dinner then I surprised her by taking her to the very house we were married in. Needless to say she was touched and we walked the beach enjoying the sunset.

I love you, babe! I love our life together.

Wedding Season is in full swing. Every Saturday in October is booked and we are meeting with lots of couples planning spring weddings.

This morning we met with another great couple. The bride is from the Chicago area, also where Debbie is from. The brides mom lives locally in Naples. The couple is planning a February destination wedding with Kathy Resop, Side by Side Weddings, at the LaPlaya Resort in Naples.

We are so looking forward to serving them on the biggest day of their lives. We are also looking forward to an event we have never seen before in our 9 years of capturing weddings...the groom is scheduled to drop his pants at 10:25! Ahhhh, another great couple!

Tonight on

Animal Planet

Confessions of an Animal Hoarder

OK, there is no denying that we love filming weddings. However, when we are asked to do a cool job like filming an episode for Animal Planet we jump at it.

I am sure by now, just about everyone has seen an episode of Hoarders. Well imagine a home where the owner hoarded cats. Yep....live cats. The filming took 4 days and was filmed at a home in nearby Punta Gorda.

The episode is titled, 27 year old keeps cats in freezer, and is scheduled to air tonight, Sept 7 at 10:00 pm and tomorrow Sept 8 at 9:00 pm.

We are grateful for this opportunity. We'll update you on when the episode airs.

If you are an animal lover or not, this episode is not for the weak at heart. I almost left with a camera bag full of kittens.

Congratulations
Katie and Sean!
July 9, 2011

It is obvious that we love doing weddings, but when we have the honor of doing a wedding for someone we know, it makes it that much more special. What stands out to me is the thought that went into making sure their wedding was true to who they were. An example of this is that we have heard toasts from moms and dads and sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles even children. At this wedding, Katie made a toast. A very heartfelt toast at that. Best wishes to you both.

Happy 1 Year Wedding Anniversary
Kristina and Marco!
March 6, 2011

Just can't believe it has been 1 year ago that we were at your beautiful wedding. Your wedding was the very first one to be held at the Resort at Tarpon Point Marina in Cape Coral, FL.
Thank you, Dean Gross with ADP, for referring this couple to us. We loved you guys from the first time you came to our studio!

If we had to change one thing about your big day, it was that Kristina would have not been sick.
Our hearts went out to you. The photographer for their wedding was Tonya Malay. It is always a pleasure working with Tonya and her photographers Mike and Emma.

It was great running into you both at Moe's this week.

Congratulations on the birth of your son, Zachary. He is a c.u.t.i.e!

Congratulations to Kari Dodge and Eric
February 28, 2011

Last night excitement filled the air and Kari and Eric tied the knot.

Our day began at Hotel Indigo as the couple completed getting ready for their big day. After capturing Kari's dress, shots of the groom and groomsmen in their tuxes from Black Tie Tuxedos, a few interviews and the photoshoot with Jennifer Angelor and the girls at Sebrie Images, we headed to Lakes Park for the ceremony. Their DJ, Mike, at Black Tie Entertainment played a fast and fun up tempo song as the wedding party entered. 3 little girls and a little boy were a big part of this wedding party, two. One of these adorable kids was Adison, Kari and Eric's beautiful daughter.

Now on to the reception. Black Tie rocked the house. Sebrie Images had the coolest thing set up....a smile booth. Similar to a photo booth but much more fun. We were able to wish the newlyweds a personal message on the chalkboard provided. A photo of Jen and Deb to follow.

We'll post some video soon................

Eric and Julie April 10, 2010
This was such a fun wedding at The Ritz Carlton Beach Resort in Naples. Eric and Julie are so in love. What a blast! Everything was shot in HD and looked fantastic. It started at the rehearsal Dinner on Friday night on the Naples Princess for a three hour cruise. All of the planning and the beautiful decorations were done by Doug Schwartz. We worked with Tonya Malay Photography. They are always professional and fun to work with. The Brett Foreman Band did a fantastic job.

We have two post on this one. My wife Debbie Irberseder loved the cinematic quality of the whole video and how it began and asked if I would post it. The second post is the Highlights Montage. Congratulations Julie and Eric. It was an honor to be at your wedding.

Christina and Zach's Naples Beach Wedding
This was fun to do. Christina, the bride, looked stunning and her new husband Zach was could not say enough how much he loved her. It is always nice to work with Jesse Netsch Photography. The ceremony took place Wiggin's Pass. What a beautiful ceremony. The reception took place at the Double Tree Resort on U.S. 41 in Naples and it was hoppin'.

Thanks Christina and Zach! We wish you all the best!

Our featured wedding showcases Dan and Michelle. What a fun couple! What a fantastic wedding they had out on the lawn at the famous South Seas Plantation on Captiva Island. I cannot say enough about this venue and how they all pulled together to pull of the wedding of Michelle's dreams. Photography for this wedding was done by Nick Adams of Nick Adams Photography.
Enjoy highlights of their day!

Happy 2010!

What a whirlwind of a 4th quarter of 2009. We have been busy with weddings on the weekends and corporate clients during the work week.

Time to get blogging!

We wanted to share a recent email we received from a groom who's wedding we filmed last year at the Ritz Carlton, Naples.

Dear Peter,

This email is long overdue. My wife and I were watching our wedding video again tonight (can't believe it has been almost a year) and we just can't say enough how much we enjoyed the final result.

Thank you so much for your efforts on that evening of our wedding and for the final video production. Feel free to use me as a reference anytime.

Warmest regards,
Craig Chanoff

Military Weddings
We have been booking quite a bit of requests lately for wedding videos for people who's fiance is in the military. We have a special place in our hearts for those who are serving our county and for the loved one at home. Peter and I have made some provisions for these couples:
1. Faster turn around of their final production
2. Flexibility of deposit in the even deployment date changes
3. Custom package design to fit their wedding day
3. Elimination of credit card convenience fee
4. An extra dvd copy

I have also met other wedding vendors in the area who's hearts have been touched by the military. One of them is Karen with Kakes by Karen. I would be happy to share these amazing vendors with you, just contact me at debbie@peterivideo.com.

Are you a vendor that has somethings special to share with military couples? Let me know. I'll add you to my referral list!

WEVA - Wedding and Event Videographers Association
This year's week long conference was held at the Orland Hilton. Thanks to all the great staff!
If your planning a trip to Orlando, make sure you check out this brand spanking new hotel.

Peter and I divided and conqured 70 training sessions, yes, he took all the technical classes and I hit all the sessions on marketing. I was so impressed with the amazing speakers sharing how they have been successful and showing us how to do the same.

We came together briefly when we attending the trade show. It was a complete role reversal at this "shopping" experience. There were representatives from the leading camera companies to bridal magazines in attendance. Peter finalized his next camera, I discussed national advertising opportunities. Wait till you see the cool DVD folio's that we are including in our packages.

We did make sure to take sometime for us. A trip down to the jacuzzi followed by a journey in the lazy river allowed us to have "mommy and daddy time" as we explained it to Killian.

The highlight of my week was the opportunity to meet lots of great people in the video industry.

Well, better run. We need to rest up after this high voltage week! Peter and I are jazzed about implementing our findings next week!

Life Happens.
We are lucky enough to help so many people preserve the memory of their wedding day. Our latest project was a life celebration presentation of former Sgt. Ryan Willin's life. This DVD will be planned during the memorial service for Ryan this evening. Our prayers go out to Tia, their 4 children, Pete and Sandy, and all of Ryan's friends and family.

FTD is short for Frontotemporal Dementia. In the elderly, its numbers pale when compared to Alzheimer’s but in the young and middle aged, it is a near match. From the research we have now we know that for some there is a genetic link. We know of no certain link for Ryan, putting him in the category with 60% of FTD sufferers. It is believed to be caused by a mutant protein, the same mutant protein that causes ALS, better known as Lou Gherig’s Disease. There is no treatment, there is no way to slow or alter the progression and there is no cure. FTD is always fatal.

What are these symptoms? Unlike Alzheimer’s, which first robs memory and only later personality, FTD robs first personality and then memory. Clogged by the mutant protein the brain cells in the frontal and temporal lobes slowly die, taking with them everything that made the person who they were, for it is in the frontal lobe that our personalities our housed, our likes and dislikes, our beliefs and opinions. Long before an FTD patient physically breathes their last their personality disappears.

Some of the behaviors are bizarre. For a complete list of symptoms please check out ftd-picks.org

Dear Peter and Debbie,

Leigh and I were blown away by our wedding video! We love it! You did an absolutely fantastic job and we will highly recommend you to all of our family and friends in the future (my cousin Tim is using you for his upcoming wedding – we let him and his fiancé know how completely happy we were with your work).

Anyway, if any of your clients are on the fence about using your services, feel free to have them contact us. We are having a big party this weekend to show everyone the video. You did a wonderful job of capturing every detail of our ceremony – priceless. The scenes you shot of TJ brought everyone to tears. The interviews, dancing and singing at the reception were hilarious! The editing and music you added were phenomenal!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We hope you enjoyed he process as much as we enjoyed the final product. It was a pleasure doing business with you. We loved working with an artist who takes so much pride in his work – it shows!

Sincerely, Jason & Leigh & TJ Williamson

Enjoy Leigh and Jasons Wedding

5 Years Since Hurricane Charlie

It is just so hard to believe. Peter was working for NBC and was called to 12 hour shifts. I'll never forget having a house full of friends, kids, animals. Peter called from Punta Gorda crying. "Get to a shelter now!" He was with reporter Mike Mason just before the building collapsed! We took off to the shelter and the shelter was full! They directed us to Cape High School where we stayed until Charlie passed. The next week consisted no air conditioning and no hubby. He was asked to produce the 1 hour long Hurricane Charlie Special that ran on NBC (maybe ABC too if I remember correctly). They also sold the DVD as a fundraiser to help victims of Charlie.

Clockwork Orange Trailer
(Make sure you turn up your volume!)

I love it when I get the opportunity to do a project which allows me to really get creative and work with an amazing group of people.

Anthony Burgess's play with music was
based on his own provocative 1962 novella of the same name, was first published in 1967.
A clockwork Orange was made into a film classic by Stanley Kubrick in 1971.

In no way do I do Stanley Kubrick justice!
I enjoyed working with Annette Trossbach, the cast, and this amazing stage play.
I am really excited to have had this opportunity!

We will also be producing the video for this live stage performance!

ILT Dance
Dance Recital
2009

We love shooting weddings, events and corporate videos, but the highlight of our year is working with Michelle Verissimo and her dance company, ILT Dance. For the past 5 years we have gotten to know the girls (and boys!) and their great parents, grandparents and siblings. Each year the kids gather around our TV to watch themselves in their dress rehearsal montage. This is no ordinary video as Michelle and her students can confirm. They laugh, point, dance along to the routine. This years event took place at South Ft. Myers High School. Thanks to the team there for their help with our table and electric!
