About This Company
She loves what she does, and so do her clients, who admit to falling head over heels for Beth Oslander of Bella Video Productions and the beautiful work she and her team create.
Beth, who double majored in Journalism and Speech Communications in college and minored in Photojournalism and Business Management, grew up under the wing of a talented photographer. At ten years old she was already hanging out in the darkroom. "I worked in a reputable photography studio right out of college," says Beth, referring to the experience as ‘a launching pad.’ Because of her previous training she excelled quickly, discovering in the process that she had a passion and a knack for videography. "I loved the way you could add dimension and excitement through sound and movement," she recollects, "the way you could really expand the vision."
Beth’s photographer’s eye comes in handy in capturing minute details, as does her training in verbal communication. She covers a range of events from concerts, celebrity events, charity fundraisers and corporate activities to important social celebrations like weddings. In all cases, Bella Video’s journalistic style seamlessly conveys the spirit of every occasion.
"Beth gives her heart and soul and delivers a great product," notes a colleague who has worked with her for years. "From the moment I met Beth I fell in love with her warm spirit and overwhelming talent. I knew we were in good hands," declares a bride.
"It’s all about balance," explains Beth, who likes to keep the work young, fresh and classic, all at the same time. She and her team blend images and natural ambient sound—laughter, tears, the tender exchange between bride and groom—in ways that exhilarate clients and make those moments come alive again and again. They shoot unobtrusively and often use unconventional angles to home in on hidden moments. Later, when the video is viewed, those moments unfold as a series of priceless surprises for her clients, who are sometimes so preoccupied they miss much of what happens on the big day.
Their videos progress like movies, with a pacing, sound, story and style particular to the rhythm and activity of the occasion. Beth gives a lot of credit for the cinematic quality of their work to her award-winning editor. "He likes to play with rhythm, customizing the editing to the music," she explains. "He and I are a good artistic match." Above all, the videos she and her crew produce have a texture, natural flow and elegance that is neither formulaic nor forced. She takes the time to understand her clients and their preferences, so that every story they tell is a unique and accurate expression of their personalities and tastes. "Beth has a special instinct for what people need from her," says a bride. "She is a terrific videographer." The final product truly represents what her clients wish on the most important days of their lives.
"When I wake up and look forward to a shoot, I realize once again that I’ve found my calling," admits Beth. "And I totally identify with my clients, sharing their joy and excitement. That motivates me and makes me go above and beyond." With Beth and her team that "above and beyond" means an outstanding professional video with a special ingredient—a lot of heart.
Here are just some of the raves we heard about Bella Video Productions:
“Beth is energetic, friendly and very wedding savvy—she has a special instinct for what clients need from her and delivers very well. We were very impressed with the final product, which was elegant, yet sentimental, and reflected both of our personalities. She was able to find her way around difficult family structures and include everyone special to us. (I still don’t know how she obtained a very cute interview with my Romanian-speaking grandmother.)”
“I have a TV sales, marketing and event planning background so I took on my interviewing of each vendor VERY carefully. With that said, out of all of my vendors, Beth was the best, most creative, NON-cheezy, video vendor and she truly delivered on her promise. Beth captured memories of my husband, family, friends and moments that we would have missed if we hadn’t used her creative, professional and unique video services!”
“We hired beth to do our wedding video and we were very pleased with the results. She was professional and personable, and she listened to what we wanted and didn’t pressure us to do things her way or add on extras. She was so easy to work with! Beth took the time to give us what we wanted. Our finished product is fantastic.”
“I’m a TV professional, so I was looking for a certain level of quality to match my expectations. Beth and her company did a fantastic job; we were thrilled with the end result.”
“We had our second wedding anniversary this past weekend and we watched our video, and we just love it.”
“Every moment with Beth you feel that she is vested in your moment and that it is a very high priority for her to succeed in making you happy—she is dependable, punctual, talented, personable and a terrific videographer.”
