We LOVE weddings! We Love the people, the little details, the traditions, and the emotions of the day!
My name is Tom Haynes, founder of Fairytale Productions. When my wife (Jeanette) and I were married back in 2002, we thought we had it all figured out for our wedding. We booked what we could afford for a photographer and DJ, but pretty much did everything else ourselves – including the video! The masterplan was to have my Uncle film our wedding. Well, I can’t say that the video turned out great, in fact, it was down right horrible to watch, but it launched my understanding of editing and what not to do when filming a wedding! My next project was only a few months later when I had my cousin ask me to film her wedding day. This time, I was the one behind the cameras. I used 4 cheap cameras – all borrowed, set each one on the only tripods that could be purchased locally, and walked from camera to camera the entire day so that I could adjust the view periodically for each angle. Everything worked out well, and the final feature video for my family actually turned out awesome after MANY grueling hours of editing- Watching the bride (my cousin) watch the wedding video that I had put together, and the joy and emotion that was on her face had me hooked – I had found my passion, and I haven’t stopped learning the craft since! My wife named the company Fairytale Productions, and that’s how it all started.
