About Brian & Susy
Everyone always asks, "Where does '2nd Mile' come from?"
Before starting 2nd Mile Productions I was a youth pastor. One of the things I always taught the people that I worked with was that we are to be servants. Matthew 5:41 says, "If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles." I always liked that concept of going the extra mile. That is what we try to do in our lives and in our business.
The second question people ask is "How did you get started in videography?" It all started when I saw a strange plug on the side of a video camera I bought for the youth ministry. I soon came to find out that you could plug it into a computer and edit the video you captured. When Susy was going to be in a wedding and the couple was not getting a videographer, I volunteered. The rest, as they say, is history. They referred me another couple, who referred me, and so on... I found that I had a gift for telling the story of a wedding day in an interesting and engaging way. I really enjoy making a piece of history that a family will enjoy for not only years but generations to come.
In 2003, with the complete support of Susy, I decided that I wanted to make videography my full-time occupation. It has been overwhelmingly successful from the start. In 2006 we captured and edited 33 weddings.
In 2007 we added the Same Day Edit to our videography services. It was a huge success. Being able to show a portion of the video at the reception that was captured hours before amazed the crowd and made the tears flow.
2008 promises to be another ground breaking year as we switch our whole workflow to high definition. This will not only provide even more stunning images but it will also allow us to "future-proof" our videos for years to come.
We strive to stay up with the latest trends in videography by studying the best videographers in the world. These are among the many reasons we have risen to the top of our field in the North East Ohio area.
