We worked with Rachael Grammar with Two Hearts Weddings & Events a few weekends ago.  She has the BEST emergency kit that I've seen.  It literally had everything you might need on a wedding day.

"It’s a beginning and an ending, it’s glorious and sad, and it’s intimate and public.  In your lifetime there will be few milestones that will change the course of your future more than your wedding day. Main Street Productions understands and believes in the emotions of life. We bring these emotions to our art and look forward to presenting you a glimpse into your own past." - John Deaver, Main Street Productions

You know when a couple looks at each other and you (the observer) can "feel" their love?  That's Jenn and Matt.  They had an over the top, gorgeous ballroom wedding at Pine Tree Country Club.  That cake!!!  And just you wait until you see her bouquet.  Her family owns Levy's Fine Jewelry and added a "few" beautiful touches to the bouquet.

What do you do when you have a super creative couple that wants to document their "trip of a lifetime"?  You give them a camera, of course.  We were kind of surprised when we got back some pretty awesome footage that they shot.

Our love for this couple goes on and on.  They went to Montreat, NC to chaperone a camp (a camp that is near and dear to their hearts).  John met them for a couple of days of fun and filming.  This piece was shown at their rehearsal dinner at Douglas Manor in Columbiana, AL.

A couple of weeks ago we received a call from someone needing to do a short video promoting a donation of a super nice speciality tub from Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co. to a young girl that really needed it. 

I'm happy to say that because of it, not only did Anna Grace get a tub that she so desperately needed, but I have now established a great relationship with the PR guy (thus getting to do more of these corporate video promos!) This is the kind of thing that I really want to do more of.

How can you not fall in love with Anna Grace?  Love this company and their Safe Step Cares program! To read more about Anna Grace's story, click here. 

Besides having the cutest dog in the world, this video shows the love of two wonderful people.  They assembled a great team of vendors and we were happy to be part of it!

We here at Main Street Productions LOVE weddings.  It is what we have made a living on for many years now.  We had a few corporate clients through the years, but it was never our main focus.  

When it came time for John's mid-life crisis, not only did he buy his infamous Banana Republic purple shirt and green glasses, but he also really wanted to put his name on something.  We argued for a few years about a complete renaming and re-branding of MSP, but in the end decided to just have him branch off and tell a different kind of story.  

Of course he is NOT leaving MSP and is very much a part of day to day operations, but he is pursuing other types of jobs under John Deaver Films. 

I do plan on posting his work here on this blog as well as his blog on JDF so check back often! Check out his website on johndeaverfilms.com.

Now that everything is official - business cards have been made, website has been updated, creative differences have erupted (ha!) - we want to welcome Chris Carr back home (full-time) to Main Street Productions!  

You can read his bio on the "about" page of this website, but that kind of is the boring stuff.

Chris is a talented filmmaker with an unique eye on a wedding day.  He loves lens flares.  He's a documentary junkie.  Not only has he made a mini doc about the live (stuffed) characters from Showbiz Pizza Place (you're probably too young to remember!!), he also made a short horror film that has it's own following.  He's HUGE in Australia!  HA!

Chris is usually wear a white T-shirt (unless he is at an event).  Just plain white.  He loves imitating people.  He really loves VHS tapes.  I think he's pretty funny. But that is just my two cents. You should get to know him yourself!

What does this mean for you?  John and Chris work really well with each other.  Sometimes you will see them at an event together, sometimes they will be separate.  It's called a "Creative Collaboration" because that is what it is.  It will make both John and Chris better filmmakers.  It will make Main Street a better company. We are in this for the long haul, so you better hold on!
