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 Nags Head, North Carolina.

      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.

      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
