WHY HIRE ME?

Dear Bride To Be

You have been dreaming about and planning for the day of your wedding ever since you saw your first bride in her beautiful wedding gown and I know that having a truly memorable wedding video is very meaningful to you... and something you want to look very much forward to...and be truly delighted with ... each and every time you watch it ... whether just cuddled alone together with your hubby...or with family and friends on special occasions...and especially with your children and all generations to come.

With all the videographers to choose from, how do you decide whom to entrust the videotaping of your very special wedding day event to? Today just about every videographer has modern digital equipment and does acceptable quality work.

But another very important factor is: feeling comfortable and a rapport with your videographer and having confidence in his ability to capture your once in a lifetime event.

When you think about it, your wedding video is the only means of truly “reliving" the emotions, sounds and festivities of your day vivid detail. Your wedding video will accompany you throughout your many years of married life.

Surely you do not want a so-so “run of the mill” wedding video for the cheapest price out there taped by some stranger you’ve never met who regards you and your wedding as "just another job to get it over with"

If you really want a truly memorable video at your affordable price, created by a sincerely caring professional ...then you have just found the right person to trust your wedding day event to.

What Sets Me Apart From My Competitors

Personalized Treatment & Service

Some companies treat you and your wedding like it's a corporate business transaction,

as if you were buying concrete cinder blocks, to be shipped to you on pallets, by truck.

Even though there is a transaction involved… you are people with feelings and weddings are a very delicate, emotional, some times stressful but otherwise a happy joyous occasion…

and I will treat yours…with caring sensitivity.

As my name implies, my services are very personalized, before, during and long after your wedding day event. I safely keep master digital copies of all my clientele’s weddings forever.

You and your fiancé are unique, so therefore no two wedding videos are exactly the same.

Although I do offer packages, they are merely suggestions and not etched in stone.

Not everyone wants the same exact services.

You get to choose exactly what you want and only what you want.

I will modify any package and adjust the pricing accordingly, to accommodate your personal preferences as to how you want your wedding video produced and to stay within your budget.

Wedding DVD Demo

Anyone can just send a demo in the mail. That is rather impersonal. I would be most pleased to meet with you and show you my work in the comfort and convenience of your home (within a reasonable driving distance) or you are most welcome to come to my studio.

However, if meeting is simply not feasible, I will send you my demo to the address you provide.

Pricing

Depending on each individual couple's preferences and budget, my single-camera packages start with the most Basic Ceremony & Reception Package for $995 and go up from there, depending upon the additional services you wish to include to personalize your package!

Are you paying for your own wedding? (Most of today's wedding couples are)

Do you already have children? (More than half the wedding couples I videotape do)

Are you buying a house or just bought one? (Almost all my clients are in this category)

Are your finances pretty tight forcing you to have a strict wedding budget?

(Many couples say "Yes" to all these questions)

I understand the financial pressures of today's world and I will work with you to make having your wedding videotaped, the way you really want it, affordable and easier to pay for.

In most cases I only require a $200 deposit to lock in your wedding date.

I offer easy payment terms to help you afford the videography package your heart truly desires so you don't have to skimp on something you really want.

Aside from my package prices there are no other "hidden fees" or charges.

I do not charge traveling fees for wedding events within a two-hour driving distance.

A state sales tax (7%) is required by law.

Sneak Preview

You will receive a Sneak Preview, consisting of the entire UNEDITED (raw footage) of your Wedding Day event within 30 days or sooner (upon receipt of your final payment)

No waiting months and months and months to see your wedding!

And…you get to see everything that was taped.

I never arbitrarily delete any scenes from my clientele’s wedding footage.

You get to decide what scenes you want deleted or shortened.

Hours of Coverage - My services are sold by the event, not by the hour. I always arrive extra early and stay until your event has truly concluded. Sometimes events run unexpectedly late. I will stay up to an additional hour beyond the contractual hours agreed upon…at no extra charge. Beyond that an additional per hour fee will be charged.

Service Beyond Videography - Although I am there primarily to videotape your wedding, my caring services do not stop there. Oftentimes I come to the rescue when some aspect of your wedding is not happening as planned. I do however highly recommend that you appoint someone (a family member or friend) to be your wedding event manager to oversee and ensure all occurs as planned. You are there to enjoy your wedding day event, not to get sucked into any problems that may arise.

Still Photography

My still photography associates and I work closely together to bring you a memorable wedding day experience. Please let me know if you are interested in a combined services package.

Personalized Wedding (Glass) Photo Plates

Exclusively handcrafted by me personally, your favorite wedding photo fashioned into a uniquely beautiful glass PhotoPlate, with a decorative border and finished with Silver or Gold Leaf Trim. These make excellent gifts for parents, grandparents and family members and to proudly display in your home. Your choice of desktop stand or brass wall hanging mount.

Destination Weddings –

Having your wedding in the Caribbean, Hawaii or another USA State?

Same package prices. You only need to pay for my travel and accommodation expenses, which will be kept to the minimal cost possible. This is your wedding (not my vacation!)

My client references and testimonials speak for themselves.

I encourage you to request them and I will gladly provide you with them.
