Iceland Unveiled: A Captivating Journey of Destination Branding in May 2018
Welcome to the land of fire and ice, where majestic landscapes and dramatic terrains come together to captivate the senses. Iceland, a remarkable destination nestled in the North Atlantic, offers an otherworldly experience that is truly unforgettable. Join us on a thrilling destination branding photo adventure as we explore the enchanting wonders of Iceland and unleash its unique essence through the lens.
Our journey begins in Reykjavik, the vibrant capital city of Iceland. This colorful urban oasis beautifully blends modernity with history, offering a perfect introduction to the Icelandic spirit. Roaming the lively streets, we immerse ourselves in the local culture, capturing images of captivating street art, traditional architecture, and the iconic Hallgrimskirkja church that gracefully adorns the skyline.
Moving beyond the cityscape, we venture into the Golden Circle, a realm of breathtaking natural wonders. Here, we witness the mighty force of Gullfoss, a stunning waterfall that plunges into a rugged canyon, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. At Thingvellir National Park, we capture the dramatic meeting point of tectonic plates, where the Earth's geothermal power reveals itself.
Continuing our odyssey, we delve deeper into Iceland's surreal landscapes. The Seljalandsfoss waterfall mesmerizes us as we capture the ethereal beauty of the cascading water against the backdrop of lush greenery. Nearby, the Skogafoss waterfall bursts forth with thunderous might, its spray glistening in the sunlight.
As we reach the southern coastline, the world-famous black sand beaches, such as Reynisfjara, unfold before us. The juxtaposition of towering basalt columns and crashing waves provides a striking backdrop for our destination branding photos, showcasing the raw power and untamed beauty of Iceland's coastline.
Our adventure takes a new turn as we traverse the frosty realms of Iceland's glaciers. In the Vatnajökull National Park, we discover the mesmerizing Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where icebergs of various shapes and sizes float serenely. Here, we unveil the surreal beauty of ice caves, capturing the radiant blue hues that permeate their depths, creating a sense of otherworldly enchantment.
No journey to Iceland would be complete without experiencing the captivating dance of the Northern Lights. As darkness falls, we venture forth into the wilderness, chasing the elusive, vibrant ribbons of light in the night sky. Our destination branding photos will immortalize this awe-inspiring spectacle, encapsulating Iceland's mystical charm and enchanting allure.
Iceland, with its untouched landscapes and mythical beauty, offers an unrivaled destination for branding photography. Our photo adventure through this awe-inspiring country will weave together the essence of Iceland, its raw nature, and cultural heritage, unraveled through the lens. Let Virginia Beach Video Production by Gibby Visuals take you on an extraordinary journey, capturing the spirit of Iceland in every frame and enabling your brand to unveil the majestic allure of this extraordinary land.
Video Production for the Healthcare Industry
In the fast-evolving realm of healthcare, effective communication is paramount. Video production plays a crucial role in conveying complex medical information to diverse audiences in the healthcare industry. Here's why it's indispensable:
1. Patient Education: Healthcare videos can elucidate medical procedures, treatment options, and wellness practices, empowering patients to make informed decisions about their health. Visual aids can enhance comprehension, compliance, and ultimately, patient outcomes.
2. Training and Development: Video content is instrumental in training healthcare professionals. From demonstrating proper medical techniques to showcasing new technology, videos streamline the education process and ensure consistency in training across diverse locations.
3. Promotion and Marketing: Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers leverage videos to promote their services, facilities, and specialties. Compelling visual stories can instill trust, showcase expertise, and engage potential patients in a way that traditional marketing methods cannot.
4. Public Health Campaigns: Video production facilitates the creation of compelling public health campaigns, advocating for preventive care, vaccination, and healthy lifestyle choices. These videos can reach a wide audience, effectively disseminating crucial health information.
5. Research and Innovation: Videos are invaluable for sharing groundbreaking research findings, medical discoveries, and innovative treatments within the healthcare community. They serve as a powerful tool for knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers and practitioners.
In essence, video production is indispensable in healthcare for its ability to educate, inform, inspire trust, and drive engagement. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, the role of video in effectively communicating vital information will only become more pronounced.
At Virginia Beach Video Production by Gibby Visuals, we specialize in creating impactful, high-quality healthcare videos that resonate with audiences, ultimately contributing to improved healthcare outcomes and patient experiences.

Top 10 Vendor Rankings According to a Wedding Planner
Hilary Majercin
It is impossible to think of a wedding day without key vendors but sometimes couples have to make cuts based on their budget. When a planner helps a couple make these cuts they have to ensure they still get their dream day. Aside from a planner, venue, caterer and planner these are the suggested vendors needed for a wedding day.
1. Photographer. All couples want their day to be remembered. Whether you plan on sharing your photos to social media or getting prints it is important to have all the things documented on your day of. This person (or team of people) are with you from hair and makeup through your grand exit and it is important to have someone you enjoy being around while they also capture your entire day.
2. Videographer. A lot of couples think you don't need a videographer if you have a good enough photographer. I am here to tell you that is not true. Yes, photos capture a lot, but they do not capture all the moments with exact detail. A lot of people also think videography is the equivalent to a family friend using their iPhone to record some stuff but it is so beyond that. With a videographer you get a movie quality film that captures all the small moments you may have otherwise forgotten about.
3. Officiant. Well this one is obvious - you need an officiant to get married! If you are going to a church you may have a long relationship with your officiant. But if you are starting from scratch it is important to pick someone who is properly certified to marry you in your state and someone who will work with you to make your ceremony totally custom to you. You don't want them to ramble on about things that you don't want included in the ceremony or go off script.
4. Hair + Makeup. If you are going to spend money on professional hair and makeup then you better be sure you will look FLAWLESS. With all the photos and videos being taken you do not want to look back and think you didn't love the way you looked. It is so important to find an artist who understands what you want to look like and who creates that look for you.
5. Florist. There are so many DIY opportunities for weddings but a lot of those end up becoming stressful on couples once the wedding rolls around. To keep your sanity hire a florist who can at least provide your personals day of (bouquets, boutineers, and flowers for parents).
6. DJ/Band. It is so important to find a band or DJ that knows how to keep the party going. You won't want an empty dance floor or bad emcee. Find a company that really matches your wedding vibe and dance the night away
7. Transportation. Transportation between your wedding day events is SO important and is what is most often the cause for late ceremony start times. Go with a reputable company that you and your planner trust to ensure your and your guests experience is perfect.
8. Bakery. Because who doesn't want some delicious dessert before a night of partying? If there is one big complaint most wedding guests have is that the cake was too dry. Pick a bakery that totally nails design but also flavor.
9. Paper products. You would be surprised how many things a couple needs to get printed on a wedding day. From invitations to bar signs to escort cards and beyond there is a lot to get done. Thankfully there are tons of online platforms to create these with ease now! However, you could never replace a personal designer.
10. A good rental company. No venue will be completely custom to you as a couple but we sure can make it seem that way! By adding a few rentals like some speciality linens or glassware you can have a wedding design that is simply you.

Engagement sessions for video are just like for photography, right…? NOPE!
With video, we get to share your story, your audio, your mannerisms, motion, and record it permanently. Your kids will love it!
The best time to shoot these are definitely before your wedding. I’ve had some want to push it after the wedding, but I don’t recommend it. It’s just different after you’re officially married.
ENGAGEMENT TIMELINE
- 90 minute or so total session
- 20-25 minutes of on-camera with each
- 1 or 2 Outfits
- Remaining time is footage of the couple being themselves. That’s it!
ON-CAMERA INTERVIEW
Interviewing anybody is my favorite part of video production. It’s the moment I get to learn about whoever is in front of the camera. During this time in the hot seat, we get learn all about you.
I’ve had many people tell me:
“you made it so easy“
“I was so nervous and you made me feel so comfortable“
“That felt like therapy.“
These moments can certainly be therapeutic for some, nerve racking for others, and something most have never experienced.
Being nervous is okay…it’s normal. I don’t even like being in front of the camera haha. It’s worth it though. All of these videos below were couples that were nervous or didn’t want to be interviewed, but they all did great! Take a look!
CONNECTIONS
Some amazing locations can be discovered by using your personal connections.
Do you know someone who owns an amazing piece of property on the water?
Do have you have a friend who can get you into a stadium or exclusive resort?
Think outside the box and use your resources to make your engagement session unique! :)
B-ROLL
What the heck is B-Roll? Wikipedia says this, “In film and television production, B-roll, B roll, B-reel or B reel is supplemental or alternative footage intercut with the main shot. The term A-roll referring to the main footage has fallen out of usage.“ A-Roll is the interview portion and the additional footage we’ll shoot is the B-Roll.
OUTFITS
Dress to impress for video and prepare to move. One or two outfits is perfect for some options. One of my favorites shots is with the couple walking towards the camera being themselves. Just make sure you’re comfortable.
OUTFIT EXAMPLE: Not required, but recommended
- Dressier Outfit
- More relaxed and Casual
- See examples in the videos below
PROPS
Bring pets, jet ski’s, bikes or anything that represents you two as a couple.
COST
$500 for Engagement shoots, but it’s also included in some packages.
LOCATION & PERMITS
Any where in the Virginia Beach area, unless you want be adventurous with some travel. I did a 6 Day engagement shoot in Iceland. :) (See the video below)
Think of locations that reflect you as a couple. In the country, beach life, city life, urban, indoors, outdoors, etc. I’m not picky on the location, but I will share some ideas. Keep in mind, some locations require paid permits.
SEASONAL LOOKS
Keep in mind the seasons for the look and feel you’re wanting. If you want green leaves and green grass then Spring or Summer is perfect. Beach doesn’t really have a season, but it’ll usually be cold our crowded.
CONCLUSION
Every couple should do one, but it’s up to you. Sometimes timing just doesn’t work out before a wedding. To many prep items before the wedding, work, etc can get in the way and keep couples busy.
If time allows, it’s a wonderful way to get use to a video camera and experience working together.
Get some popcorn!
YouTube is the new cable tv and anyone with a talent should be on it. Why? It’s an amazing stream of income.

ENGAGEMENT VIDEO FROM ICELAND
6 Days of adventure in Iceland with these two! Wow! Jordan is from America and Stefan was born and raised in Iceland. They met in North Carolina while he was playing College Soccer.
During this adventure, they showed my wife and I all the touristy spots and a ton of local spots. The hidden gems! We saw so much in a short time and were doing something every minute. These interviews finished at 1:45am one night and it was still light outside!
Thanks for enjoying our adventure!

WOW! These two, Jordan and Stefån are so fun to be around. It could be because we spent a week with them in Iceland before this wedding, but I don't think so. They both just have the type of personalities of people you want to be around. I know it comes from great parents and how they were raised.
Please enjoy this video for years to come and we can't wait to see the babies. Probably not as much as your parents wanting to see their grandkids. :)
