Not long ago, I heard about a videographer who was hiding behind some flowers up at the altar (something that I will NEVER do!) and he dropped a lens on the marble floor with a huge crash, and then swore out loud so loud that everyone heard it! (He obviously wasn't a romantic EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER or he wouldn't have ruined the romance and religious significance of the ceremony by hiding behind flowers where everyone could see him come and go - and, of course, there is NO excuse for profanity!)
So, looking for a romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, who will beautifully tell the story of your love for each other, and for your family and friends, will also result in someone who will respect you and your wishes, and conduct himself in only the most professional and friendly way, because he understands in the most intimate way, the importance of the "Story of Your Wedding Day."
And, by the way, my brides tell me that they really love the way I emotionally tell the story of their wedding day.
SECRET #5: The Truth About Wedding Videographers Revealed. What They Don't Want Me To Tell You!
It is not my intention to say anything bad about any other videographers in the area. I know most of them personally, and count many of them as my friends. However, it is really important that I alert you, in this website to some of the problems that you otherwise would never know about.
Well, here's a "biggie."
Many videoographers will cram as many weddings into a day as they humanly can. Many times, this means they must rush from your wedding, to get to another, and then rush from that one, to get to another. Or, even worse, hire another videographer whom you’ve never met or approved to cover the extra weddings.
This type of videographer just isn't going to be able to capture the EMOTIONS, ROMANCE, LOVE, AND RELATIONSHIPS between you and your husband (doesn't that sound exciting?! Your "husband!") and also between you and your family and friends. He's just won't have the sensitivity and enthusiasm and love for what he does to be able to capture those feelings. And he won't have the time or energy.
You Won't Believe This, But I Assure You, It's True!
For example, I won't mention any names here, but I once knew a videographer who filmed so many weddings in a single day, that the only way he could remember the names of the bride and groom at each wedding was to write their first names on masking tape, and stick it to the back of his camera! Not only that, but if he had, say five weddings, he would simply stack layers of masking tape on the back of the camera, and as he left one wedding for the next, he would just rip off that layer, and the next couples names were now showing! I swear to you this is true!
By the way, I ONLY film ONE wedding per day.
You get me for the pre-discussed time that you book me for. I understand how important this day is to you, and I am there for you!
This also means that I'm rested and energetic. It also means I'm enthusiastic about what I will be doing for you. As I mentioned earlier, I film weddings because I LOVE them, not because I have to do them. And since I only film one wedding a day, I'm not tired or "burned out on your important day."
SECRET #6: A Remarkable Secret To Truly Enjoying Your Wedding Day, And Having It Filled With Wonderful, Emotional Moments!
This is so important! Be sure the videtographer you hire has a "team" approach to taking good care of you on your day. This means that if necessary, he won’t be trying to work alone to film your important day.
You see, all weddings are not the same. Doing a really super, romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY of your day requires a huge amount of planning, care, and effort. Sometimes this is simply more effort than just one person can do.
Let me explain.
If during our consultations we decide that we will need to use a team approach I will arrive at your wedding with my Creative Director / Wedding Consultant / Second Videtographer. She/he has a HUGE responsibility during the day, and is a true secret to our success in wedding videtography.
She/he makes certain that you look fantastic, every minute of the day! She's not always going to be filming you!
We are a TEAM. A team that together, guarantees that you not only have a great time on your wedding day, but also assures you of having a PERFECTLY EMOTIONAL Video/DVD!
A HUGE POINT FOR BRIDES-TO-BE:
The Magic Of "E.F.P" On Your Wedding Day!
You see, I don't really look at it as "wedding videography," but rather as "Emotional Family Videography created on your wedding day!" It's all the emotions, relationships and personalities of all your friends and relatives, captured in beautiful images for you and your family to cherish for the rest of your lives. After all, isn't that what you really want?
"E.F.P." is one of the major things that separates me from all the other wedding videographers in the area. I want to capture the love, relationships, personalities, and emotions of all your family and friends for you to enjoy and view with happy tears in your eyes for years and years to come!
Aren't The People and The Emotions Of Your Life What Matter The Most To You?
Because it's the PEOPLE and the EMOTIONS of your life that are so valuable to you. Yes, you'll also see the beautiful dresses and flowers. Yes, you'll see the lovely ceremony, etc. But more, much more than that. You'll feel the emotions that you and your fiancée feel toward each other and toward your best friends and family members on this magical day. Yes, FEEL them each time you view your video/dvd. That's what I am driven to do for you!
You see, you want videography that "speaks" to you with love, emotion, respect, and the glorious feelings you will be feeling on your wedding day.
You want your videography to "tell the story" of your wedding day, AND your families and friends.
