The Drayman House

A Celebration of Wine & Community

For their 1-Year Anniversary, The Drayman House—a community hub for wine enthusiasts—needed more than just event footage. They sought high-quality visuals that captured both the festive celebration and the rich experience of their facility’s amenities for their members.

I proposed a versatile approach, producing several videos including:

Social Media Highlights Reel

This highlights video of the 1-Year Anniversary party that is more than just music and footage of guests celebrating. By recording and using the owners’ speech as a backbone of the video, I was able to make a video with meaning, one that showed viewers the growth and impact of The Drayman House on the community.

The video was captured with multiple formats in mind from the beginning, including vertical social media video and landscape traditional video for their website. Fortunately, my ability to record video for multiple deliverables simultaneously simplified the filming process and enabled The Drayman House to publicize this milestone across all of their marketing channels.

Amenities Showcase

inspired by the smooth flow of real estate videography, this video guides viewers through each space. It showcases the amenities members enjoy like socializing spaces and a climate-controlled cellar, as well as the proximity to downtown Walla Walla.

With precise editing, I synchronized the tour through the space with the evolving soundtrack. Versions with the space empty and including clips from the Anniversary party (seen here) were created to provide options for different presentation scenarios.

Results

By merging storytelling with technical finesse—such as purposeful color grading and rhythmic cuts—the final suite of videos not only brought The Drayman House’s vision to life but also provided them with versatile assets to promote both current and future events. The project was completed on schedule, required minimal revisions, and opened the door for future collaborations.
