A Word From Chris

Occasionally I'm asked if event videography is obtrusive. My answer is clear and simple. No! Just ask the 2000 clients we've worked with since 1990. I've also been asked if both Photography & Video are necessary. As a veteran of a couple thousand events, I think I'm qualified to answer that question. Absolutely! A recent study showed that Brides thought their video more fully captured the emotion and better captured the history of their day vs. the photographs.(60% vs. 25%)(15% undecided) Below is a common reaction AFTER the client receives their DVD.

“Kevin and Katie's wedding video is wonderful! Their wedding was one of the happiest days of my life and watching the video brought back the joy I felt that day. I couldn't stop smiling!! As the years pass, the video will be priceless to all of us. At one point during the wedding planning, someone suggested that we omit the videographer. I'm so glad we didn't follow that advice. You made the whole process enjoyable and the final product far exceeded our expectations. P.S. The short version is all you said it would be---A+”

The Annual Pat Tillman Run
