Master Videographer Eric Blissmer has been in the Video Production Field for about 10 years.  He started out as the "video guy" for the family... you will rarely see home movies of him from the front side of a camcorder.  In 1998, he was stationed in England with the Air Force, and found an easy way to show video clips of his kids to family back home over the internet.  Soon he discovered that there was a huge market for transferring home movies to DVD.  After that, he started doing weddings and events at the Air Base, and a part-time hobby turned into a business very quickly.  During his travels, he gathered a lot of video footage and experience from Turkey, England, Egypt and Germany, slowly building his arsenal of video equipment along the way.  He is also large contributor to the Video Business Advisor website for new video business startups.  He continually studies all of the trade magazines and websites to keep up with new technologies as they emerge.  

He came back to the US in 2003 and started DV Memories Video, Inc. in Biloxi, MS and offered a wide range of video production services, mainly focusing on Weddings and Events.  Then he started offering seminars, classes, promotional videos and commercials.  In 2007, he was working over 100 hours per week between his Air Force job as an IT Administrator and Instructor and spending the majority of his weekends shooting video and his weeknights editing.  He decided to give up his Air Force career in July 2007 to do video production full-time. 

He recently changed his business name from "DV Memories Video" to "Video Bliss Productions".  He does all types of video work for consumers and businesses including Promotional Video for the Web, TV Commercials, Stage Plays, Sporting Events, Equipment Rentals, Video Screen Projection, and Weddings.  Be sure to check out his demo reel at www.videoblissproductions.com 

-With Eric on our Video team here at WOW! Entertainment, I can assure you you will be thrilled with the quality and service that he delivers.   Twelve years of Air Force Training makes Eric "Super-Reliable" - he's a real pro with a great eye for Video & Editing.

Videographer Eric Blissmer                           

Ceremony Only Video - 3 Final Edited Copies - $795 Ceremony video shoot includes videographer arriving a full hour prior to the ceremony.  Videographer sets up and is ready to shoot about 1/2 hour of candid video prior to the ceremony.  We call this time "Buttons and Bows".  This is the time where the videographer would capture that last moments of the bride and groom prior to the ceremony.  This is usually priceless footage!  Of course, we capture the entire ceremony using 2 angles.  One from the back of the ceremony hall or area, and the other is from the front at an angle so all of the facial expressions and eye contact is captured.  Afterward, we stay and record the entire greeting line so that long-lost relatives and friends will be seen on your video.

Reception & Dance Video - 3 Final Edited Copies - $795 The videographer works closely with the DJ so the Videographer is in place PRIOR to any event that is about to happen during the reception and dance.  This is a key advantage to having WOW! Entertainment DJs and Videographers work together.  We record everything including the arrival of the wedding party, the grand entrance, the cake cutting, the prayer, all speeches & toasts, all the first dances, the bouquet toss, the dollar dance and the garter auction.  The videographer also sets up a special place where guests can record a "Video Greeting Card" as a fun surprise for the wedding couple to be viewed later.  in between events, the videographer will go through the crowd and record candid video of the crowd enjoying the dinner, the social hour, and the dance. 

Combination Deal - Ceremony, Reception & Dance Video - 3 Final Edited Copies - $1495 ($100 Savings) If you would like to have us record the ceremony portion and the reception&dance portion of your day, we are happy to do that and to also save you money on a combo deal.  When you combine both events you save $100 off the total cost of both events.

A Word about Video Editing...  We meet with you in advance so you can tell us what you want included in your final edit.  We will include every scene you want in the final cut.  Your Edited Video consists of 3 copies, 30-40 minutes of the highlights of the day set to music and put together using slow motion, layering, and other special effects to make your video a lasting memory for years to come.  You also get the raw footage back from the shoot.
