Also considering developing a new company to focus purely on the photography side of the business leaving JB Digital Productions to focus on vieos....names for the new company are currently being thrown about but not quite sure yet on which way to go!!

Hello world!

Hello and welcome to my first blog! My name is James and I am the owner of JB Digital Productions a video and photographic company based in the North West of England. I will be keeping people up to date with various projects I have on the go at the moment and sharing my (lack of) worldly wisdom on a hopefully regular basis!

Currently I am working on three projects, 2 wedding DVD's and a wedding photographic assignment. Danielle and Ben's wedding is currently nearing completion which was shot on a lovely hot day at Haigh Hall near Wigan, Mick and Rachel of Blackburn is in the intial stages with an expected finish date of 2 weeks from now and Martin and Nicola's photo's are currently being worked on in Camera Raw before being imported to Photoshop CS4 for the production work.

One thing I am noticing at the moment is how popular certain pieces of music are for the Wedding DVD's! With the thousands of pieces of music available in the world if not hundred of thousands I would say there is a core of around 30 songs which are regularly requested by brides to be! Most popular so far this year is Jason Mraz "I'm yours" which is now being used for the 5th time this year. I am guessing that certain pieces just lend themselves to the productions and must invoke similar reactions with the couples. I also like to use slightly different pieces to give it a certain feel and have been using artists like Carey Brothers, Joshua Radin and Citizen Cope for a few years now along with the fantastic Zero 7 who's music could just be written especially for me in a few instances!

Ok that's it for this first post as i need to get on with the jobs in hand. I hope you come back and check the posts and follow the progress of my business as time goes on
