Kim’s Engaged!
My Christmas was definitely a merry one as my boyfriend totally surprised me by proposing! I had no idea it was coming. He made sure my family was in town and made a really special night. After reading off 100 reasons why he will love me forever, he got down on one knee and asked the question I could only answer with one thing, “Of course, yes!”
I’ll keep you updated on when the wedding will be and let you know the details each step of the way. I hope your Christmas was as blessed as mine was!

2009 KCBA Christmas Party
The HDM team recently attended the annual Kern County Bridal Association (KCBA) Christmas party held at the Moorea Banquet Center in Bakersfield, CA on December 13th, 2009. We enjoyed a delicious dinner provided by Champs BBQ and enjoyed the company of our fellow bridal vendors. The raffle was great with some really nice traditional gifts mixed with a hilarious money grab prize. Jared and Mark from Freestyle entertainment provided the lighting and entertainment and the entire event was documented with photos by Jennifer Williams Photography. Before leaving we couldn’t resist but get an HDM team photo taken in the photo booth provided by Sit N’ Grin. We had such a great time and can’t wait for the next Bridal Association mixer!
Happy Holidays from HDM!
After a crazy year we’re happy to announce that we’re finishing the year out stronger than ever! We’re excited with what new experiences and opportunities await us and look forward to continued success in 2010. We wish you good health, happiness, and prosperity in the New Year. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!
Sincerely,
The HDM Team
Andrew, Kim & Amber
What CAN’T Kim do?!?
Last week Kim Mendenhall joined the HDM team. We are very excited about having Kim on board, she has gone to school for video production and is very talented and skilled. Kim brings a lot to the table, both in the editing bay AND out in the field. This girl knows her way around Final Cut Pro and is quickly bringing a lot of new ideas and a fresh look to her projects! After all, it’s OUR TEAM that gives us our competitive advantage! We are very glad to have her. Welcome Kim!
Kathleen + Daniel | Wedding Film
What a blast this wedding was! Kathleen & Daniel where such a joy to work with and we are so glad we got the chance to shoot their wedding! It was a beautiful day at Seven Oaks Country Club. Kathleen was beaming all morning, she had to be one of the most excited brides we have ever worked with! We had good fun with the groomsmen who even managed to get some golf in before the ceremony. The ceremony at St. Josephs was beautiful, they had already put up their GIANT Christmas trees and had the place decorated beautifully!
The wedding was a huge success, a lot of which was attributed to such great vendors! Brenna from Seven Oaks, as always, did a wonderful job of keeping things on schedule. Artisan was WONDERFUL to work with, as always, and took some AMAZING photos, which of course made our job a lot easier. Freestyle Entertainment had the dance floor PACKED the entire night… no really, there was SO MUCH energy on the dance floor and it NEVER died down the entire night… even after the bride and groom left! All these things and more made for a wonderful wedding!
Congrats to Kathleen and Daniel! Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!

The New Site… A Behind The Scenes Look!
We’ve put a lot of work into our new website… and after four complete website redesigns in less than four years, I think we finally have something we are happy with! I’m particularly proud of the images throughout the website… well because I took them all myself! No lame stock images on this site… I wasn’t going to have it! I figured, hey I got a studio full of cool stuff, why don’t I just take pictures of it and use those? So I did! Amber decided to snap a few pics while I was trying to get creative with all the stuff we have laying around our studio.
Here is a behind the scenes look of how I got the images of all the video and audio production equipment that you see throughout the site.

Welcome to the NEW and IMPROVED Blog!
This marks the FOURTH complete website redesign in less than two years!
Ok… so maybe we’re still working out some of the kinks and trying to bring over all our old posts from the old blog… but we’re getting there! We’re still trying to figure out how to get comments on here, this is all so very confusing. That’s why we deal with video and NOT web design!
