JAMES AND MARIANNA PLAYER

      My name is James, and my wife's name is Marianna (pretty, isn't it?). We are the two "behind the curtain", overseeing and having a hand in every step of your wedding video from consultations to filming to editing to delivery. We make a great team, and you can count on us to give you the best wedding video in Blythewood, South Carolina.

      We have been married for quite a while now, no longer newlyweds. Looking back, it's funny on one hand, but sad on the other - a disaster at our own wedding sparked our interest in wedding videography. We, like most couples, were trying to cut as many corners financially as we could, so we hired a cheap, amateur videographer. We had chosen an expensive photographer, and figured we didn't need much for a video, just a set up a camera and let it roll - how hard could it be? We soon found out. Well, I shouldn't say soon, since it took us several YEARS to get the videographer to give us our video. And we understand why he didn't want to give it to us, as it was NOT something to be proud of - the visuals were shaky, blurry, dim, bad lighting, and the audio, what audio? You mean you actually want to hear your vows? Sorry.

      After our great disappointment, we spoke with other couples and heard similar experiences about their wedding videos. We were sad for them, but inspired to help others! We decided to break the mold of the typical wedding video company, and set about aquiring the skills to deliver a high quality, unique product! Our wedding videos came to be known as "wedding movies" and are now offered under our branch company, Player Wedding Films. Our very high quality documentary, "as it happened" wedding videos are offered here at Absolute Productions and Media, and are offering every couple the opportunity to have 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
