Received a message recent from Rebecca and Mark, who’s wedding was recently completed…

“… sat down together and watched our absolutely beautiful Wedding DVD earlier this week. We just want to thank you for providing us with three beautifully created wedding videos. You seriously did an amazing job. I had tears in my eyes during many moments throughout the video, especially during the credits because you picked our favorite song.

I will surely recommend you in the future to people who are looking for a videographer.

This clip is from Dawn and Andy’s wedding which took place at The Inn At Longshore in Connecticut. It was a really nice location because the inn is located right on the water. The ceremony is going to look really great because it’s just clear blue water in the background. This particular clip here is part of the opening to the video. The first few shots I left out for whatever reason, but this is more or less how it is going to open. I may wind up moving a few parts around here and there depending on how everything sits with me when I go back and assemble the final cut, but I also may not. I arrived early and as usual, rather than just sit and around and wait for things to start, I went to the bridal suite and just started shooting what was going on.

There is no music here yet, but I am going to add a few short cuts in certain parts to pick everything up a bit. There is none here because I haven’t found the right pieces yet that work. The very beginning leading into the bridal suite I think needs some. Also when she is posing on the bed a few seconds of something there just to punch it up a bit. I like working without music, but at the same time sometimes it can really help to accent what you are trying to do.

There was some stuff of the bride posing with the bridesmaids on the bed that I am not going to use. It just wasn’t working for me and I kind of want to concentrate on how this will lead into the first meeting between the bride and groom. I like the stuff of her on the phone and how it’s framed tightly all on one side. And her putting on the makeup as well, always like showing stuff of the bride doing things herself rather than someone else doing it for her.

I like how the first shot of the bride is her walking out the room and how it’s so direct. I also like how the first shot of when she is putting on the makeup begins on the end of the shot coming into focus. I like stuff like that too because it helps serve as a transition. I wanted to actually move that part of her doing the makeup a bit earlier to when she comes out of the room for the first time, but it wasn’t going to match because after she applied it, it all of the sudden would no longer be on her.

My favorite shot is actually at 2:20 when going through the digital camera to look at the pictures. I always try to get a shot of that, but it never comes out. This time it did so I made it a point to make sure it gets in.

“We watched the wedding video last night and we really love it. Thank you for doing a wonderful job capturing our special memories.”

The video is absolutely wonderful; we’re sooo pleased with it!  It really captures the special moments of our amazing day.  Thank you for paying such careful attention to the small details that were so meaningful.  Your talent is obvious, your critical eye impeccable.  We can easily recommend you to anyone as a quality, top-notch videographer who works with his clients to effectively capture the mood and the atmosphere.  Bravo!!

“We got the video, we love it and think you did a really great job!”
