JAMES AND MARIANNA PLAYER

      My name is James, and my wife is Marianna. (What a pretty name, right?) The two of us lead every aspect of your wedding video from couples' consultations to filming to editing, and we are proud of our great team, delivering the absolute best wedding videos available in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. We guarantee every video meets the quality standards we have come to be known for, and we always enjoy the opportunity to meet every bride and groom.

      Our own wedding over 10 years ago inspired us to become wedding videographers - unfortunately, because our video turned out so poorly. We tried to save budget-wise by hiring an amateur, figuring he could at least do better than a random family member, but I think even my 80-year-old Grandma could produce a better video! The results were shaky, blurry, mute, and pitiful - our beautiful wedding day captured like this!

      After being so disappointed we began talking to other couples about their experience with their wedding video and it was very similar. It was then and there that Marianna and I decided that we would do something different and break free from the mold of your typical wedding video company. Since we began filming back in 2006 things have come a long way. We have developed a product that is like no other wedding video and is referred to by the brides and grooms we work with as our wedding movies. Our wedding movies are offered under our second company name, Player Wedding Films. We also have developed a very high quality documentary product which is offered here at Absolute Productions and Media and even though the style is far simpler than our wedding movies, the documentary videos allow all couples the opportunity of a quality wedding video no matter their budget.

      Our wedding video business takes up the majority of our time, and we find it very rewarding, but we value our family time as the most important. We have two wonderful sons, Matthew and Daniel, who are a blast and a joy. We're so lucky to have them, and love watching them grow (although it happens way too fast!). They are so different in personality, are two years apart, but thankfully get along well (for boys). Marianna and I have a variety of interests, but not much time for extracurriculars after weddings, family and friends.

     

All our best,
James & Marianna Player
