"Why choose to have a video?

You are about to make the most important vow of your life. You will look into the eyes of the one you love and make a vow that changes the course of your life. This incredible moment is charged with drama and romance. And it's all over before you know it.

Ten years from now when you take out your wedding album and your wedding video, which one is going to make you cry? If ever a single moment of your life is worth preserving it is this one. It deserves to be preserved in it's entirety...all the sights and all the sounds. Photography simply cannot do it alone.

After all the days, weeks months and even years of planning this once-in-a-lifetime event, you need to realize that when your wedding is actually occurring everything around you seems to be going 100 miles an hour, and then suddenly it's over! As professional videographers, we hear over and over again (sometimes within just moments of the end of the ceremony) "what did he say just before I do?" " What were my vows?" "I can't believe it's over...it seemed so short!"

Your video allows you to see what a great time you had, how you sounded reciting your vows, and how fabulous you looked when you turned to each other, love in your eyes, and then slowly kissed as the sun set behind you to the sound of the waves and the breeze in the palm trees.

As this special day goes by so quickly, capturing all the activities of your ceremony and your reception on a video will mean your wedding will be preserved for you and your family now and for all generations ahead. Now your children and grandchildren can truly get to know who you were on your wedding day.

Why choose a professional?

Now that you have made the smart decision to have a video, who will shoot it? With today's technology, even Uncle Charlie has a video camera and he believes he can shoot your wedding for you. Yes, indeed he can. But what will t look like? How will you show it to people, wading through all the shots of the ground and the back's of people's heads.

For as long as there has been photography, there have been wedding photos. Can you imagine not having professionally shot wedding pictures? Would you trust friend or relative to take these important photographs? Absolutely not! It is just as big a mistake to turn Uncle Charlie loose to shoot your video!

Only a professionally shot and edited video can elevate your wedding video into an artistic and exciting history of this major life event. Only a professional wedding videographer is prepared to capture the details of your wedding day, from the rush of preparations at the beginning of the day, through the emotional events of the ceremony, and the excitement of the reception.
