- Creative shooting and editing gives an overall feeling of your wedding day.

Vendor Name: Forever Fossilized, LLC
Area of Expertise: Wedding Videography
Tell me about yourself and your business:
We
are Katie and Joe Fasel, a husband and wife team of videographers,
specializing in weddings and all of life's momentous events. We love
life, love each other, and love what we do.
We
currently live in Wyoming, Michigan, just outside of Grand Rapids,
where we recently bought our first home. We love that we are five
minutes away from the city, or five minutes away from the country in
either direction, and we love West Michigan and all of the beauty, fun
and activities it has to offer. We share our home with two orange tabby
cats, Samantha (Sam) and Mae, and they are probably the two most
spoiled cats in the world. On our (rare) weekends off, we love a full
house, hosting parties, playing games, and entertaining family and
friends.
When it comes to wedding
videography, we feel like we are truly blessed to get to do something
this awesome. We get to meet so many great people from all walks of
life, and are truly honored to be able to capture one of the most
momentous days in a couple's life together.
How did you get started in the wedding industry? Well, we were both studying for our Film and Video Degree at GVSU, when a cousin was getting married way back in 2003.
We volunteered to shoot the wedding, just to see how it would turn
out. Our cousins LOVED the result, so it quickly became a hobby,
shooting any family member or friend's wedding that came along.
However, it wasn't until 2009 that we realized that we truly loved
shooting and editing and just being a part of weddings, that we decided
to dive in as a business.
What is your favorite thing about working with brides? For
us, it's the personal connections we make with our brides (and
grooms!). We get to meet so many different people from so many
different walks of life, and they invite us to spend their most
important day with them, and they put their trust in us to document it
for them. We love meeting them, meeting their families and just getting
to know everyone!
What is the most unique thing you've heard of or seen at a wedding? This
is really hard to pick just one thing! Every wedding is so unique, and
that's one of the things we love about our job...while the basics are
all the same, the personal touches are always so interesting and fun to
see!
One thing that does come to mind comes
from a wedding we shot last August. It was a second marriage for this
particular bride and groom, and both had three children each, ranging
from their teens to mid-twenties. They deemed themselves a "Brady
Bunch" family. During the ceremony, they did a sand ceremony which not
only included the bride and groom, but the children as well. It was a
really special event to witness, the marriage of their two families.
What do you think is the most important thing for brides to know when hiring a videographer?
If
you're on the fence about getting a video at all, consider this: still
photos are a great way to look back at your wedding day. You will
display those on your mantle, and reminisce over your albums. But what
about that tear-jerking speech from your maid of honor, or just hearing
the vows you made to one another...how will you document those moments?
If you're definitely set on getting a video,
there are a lot of factors to consider when choosing who to hire. One
of the most important things to ask about is how many cameras they will
be shooting with, how many microphones they will be using, and what
their back-up plans are...a good videographer will always have several
back-up plans ready, in the event that a camera or microphone fails, or
if something just doesn't go according to plan!
What else should brides know about you?
We
love to have a good time, and especially love to dance, so don't be
surprised to catch us busting a move behind the camera out on your dance
floor! :-)
