Member Spotlight
Bob Ridge, IndyVisual

What does your company do?
IndyVisual is a video and multimedia production studio specializing in the creation of elegant wedding films through candid, artistic cinematography.

How many years have you been in the industry?
I have been in the television and/or video production business in some form or another ever since I graduated from Indiana University in 1989. However, I have been in what I like to call the “happiness” business ever since I filmed my first wedding in 1993.

What led you into the event industry?
I was told in the early days of my video business that shooting weddings and events would provide a great baseline income from which to build the business. Little did I know at the time that I would enjoy event videography so much, I would decide to “go boutique” and specialize exclusively in weddings and events by the year 2000.

What is your most memorable event? Why?
We have covered a lot of truly incredible events with budgets ranging from $10K to over $1M. But the most memorable event has to be my first destination wedding shoot in St. Kitts a few years ago. I had spent over a dozen years envying my many photographer friends who got to travel with their clients, and I couldn’t have been more excited when my turn finally came. From the beautiful island itself to the wonderful clients, guests and fellow vendor friends I worked (and played) with, the week was filled with sights, sounds, laughter, adventures, misadventures and memories that will always stay with me.

What is your favorite restaurant?
This will sound corny, but any restaurant where I am in the company of friends or family is my favorite restaurant at that time, as I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. (Unless the food was really, really bad.) It also depends on what I’m craving. For example, when I need a quick sweet-tea fix on the road, nothing beats good old McDonald’s – at least until McAlister’s starts building drive-thrus. But if pressed for an answer, I’ll say it’s a restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand called Coca, not just because of the food, but also the memories. I grew up with it, and it with me, and I try to visit it every time I travel to Thailand to visit my mother.
