Katelin told me a couple days before her wedding, "I'm going on my last run as a single girl". Feeling that was part of the story of their day, I went along for it. When I say "went along" I mean, I drove along. Seriously, I coudn't keep up with her. I tried. hard.

In addition to weddings, corporate/marketing and non-profit video producitons, I also have a history of doing country music video work. Random? Maybe...
Two years ago I did a piece for Chuck Wicks for the Academy of Country Music Awards and this year I'm working on a 6 part video series to introduce everyone to Josh Thompson. He's an up and coming singer-songwriter with songs like "Beer on the Table" as well as "Way Out Here" out on the radio right now.

This is his first year attending the ACM Awards in Las Vegas, but I'll let the videos tell you more about who he is.
The first 4 episodes were shot from Kansas City to several stops in Florida. Episode 5 was sent up from Nashville and I'll be shooting and editing the last one from Las Vegas the day before the awards show. (no pressure right?)
I'm really excited to be filming a special concert for the troops at the airforce base as well.
Each episode will release every few days so check back for them.
Swing by CBS.com and check out their ACM Awards section for the videos.
If you're into country music, check out the ACM Awards live on CBS at 7 CST, April 18th.
[And a very special thanks to the rock-star editor Matt White who's been helping me meet the crazy deadlines on these videos]

Ashley + JP were on spring break and wanted some outdoor engagement pics since their wedding is quickly approaching in May.
They found an awesome little spot down in Louisburg and we spent a couple hours together. We almost fell through the floor of the old barn a couple of times, but the photos were totally worth it!
Here are a few from their session:

So I just learned yesterday that my Contact button on my www.mikevarel.com website has been broken for quite some time. I've still been receiving emails through my blog and through my wedding films contact form (www.mikevarelweddings.com) but apparently no emails have come through to me on the other site.
SO, if you have emailed me and haven't heard back, I sincerely apologize, I just never received it. After I fixed it yesterday I've received 3 emails from it, so I'm sure I've missed a few folks.
If you're one of the people that hasn't heard back from me within 24 hours of emailing me, please let me know - thanks!
By the way, my nephew Grady turned 2 this past weekend. After his work on the Legos he helped with my web issues...

Amy is an amazing dancer, and incredibly dedicated.
Aaron is hilarious and yet brilliant. Well, smart enough to snag Amy anyway. In an instant, she had eyes for him one day seeing him at a mutual friend's place.
Aaron was too concentrated on homework to be bothered with her, although he noticed her gangster-style men's camo shorts and wasn't too impressed.
After a little persistence on Amy's part, they wound up going to dinner a couple days later. After an outfit change I think it's safe to say Aaron's impression changed.
I got to shoot Amy's sister's wedding video a couple years ago and have loved hearing updates on Amy's almost-engaged status over the past year. Her mom Suzie would send updates through my mom who gets her hair done from her. "Not yet, but I think we're close" she would say. Amy was so excited when it actually happened that I think I got a notice before the rest of the facebook world did.
I had such a great time shooting their engagement pictures. Aaron is just as goofy as I am and once the English accents came out, I knew we are going to have a blast on their wedding day.
Here are a few from their session:
We hung out at JP's Winebar downtown which is an awesome place - Aaron is a fan of lights so we hung out till they came out and made a few pictures with them too.
Gosh. I love it. So much story in such a short preview!
(05.04.10)You nailed this Mike, Great job!
(05.04.10)Very cool... just an awesome preview.
(05.04.10)Mike, you are the best!! I'm beyond pumped to see the video (and so are like 80 of my friends). You're on the list of vendors for many of my guests who aren't married yet...
