A little video I threw together about our trip to Denver Colorado for Sarah & Reuben's wedding. I didn't take nearly enough video but still had just enough to make this.
A good friend of mine has recently started his own production company and one thing he’s been doing a lot recently is weddings. He was even able to video my girlfriend’s brother’s wedding this year.

The second more in-depth segment discussed a study of payday loans and found that when people were given more information about the exact details and ramifications of these loans they were less likely to take them out. It showed that a lot of peop...
