ABOUT YOUR ATHENS, GEORGIA WEDDING VIDEOGRAPERS

      My name is James Player, and my wife is Marianna. We are so proud to be the couple behind the wedding videos that are the absolute best available in Athens, Georgia. We are very hands-on throughout the whole process of creating your video, from consultations, to filming, editing, and delivery. Every step of the way, you can count on us and our team to deliver a wedding video you'll love.

      Marianna and I got married before either of us had ever thought about having a wedding videography business, and we hired an amateur videographer for our wedding, trying to save on budget because we had hired an expensive photographer. Let's just say that if you pick the wrong videographer for your wedding day, you can't go back for a do-over. The day only happens once, but our video turned out so poorly, we have been regretting it (and in my wife's case, literally crying about it) for years since and years to come. The video of our beautiful wedding day was shaky, blurry, uninteresting, whispered from a distance through a tunnel during a tornado, and took literally YEARS for the videographer to hand over! (We see why he was holding it hostage, definitely not the best work in town.

      More than disappointed, feeling angry and cheated, we talked to other just-married couples, and heard very similar stories of pitiful wedding videos. Inspired to help other couples absolutely love their wedding videos, we plunged headfirst and passionately into acquiring the skills to become the best wedding videographers in Athens, Georgia. Along the way, we began offering cinematic wedding movies with the feel of Hollywood blockbusters, and these unique and captivating wedding videos became so popular, we branched off to create a second company, Player Wedding Films, to focus specifically on them. Absolute Productions and Media still focuses on its original intent of providing documentary style wedding videos of the absolute highest quality that every couple can afford.

      While the wedding videos we produce are a very large part of our life and take up a gargantuan amount of time we actually value our family time as the most important thing. We have two incredible boys. Their names are Matthew and Daniel, and they are a blast to be around. We consider ourselves lucky to have two wonderful children and enjoy watching them grown (although it is too fast). They have drastically different personalities but in the same token they love each other and typically get along pretty well. Marianna and I enjoy a variety of things but we honestly don't have a ton of time to get into many extracurricular activities. When we do have extra time we of course try to spend time with our boys and we also enjoy being around our friends.

     

All our best,
James & Marianna Player
