Hi Ken and Terri,
I have been meaning to write to you for awhile now. WE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE WEDDING VIDEO!!! It is absolutely a class act. You both put together a lovely picture and story of our day. We sent our parents a copy and they were delighted with it.
I got a bottle of champagne for the viewing event and we watched the video with huge smiles on our faces. I really loved all of the interviews, such a great treasure to have.
Thanks again, so much. Laura and Paolo

    Strong Advice from Brides|Preserve your memories

    (Quotes courtesy of http://weva.com)
    If there’s one thing brides today can agree on, it’s that future brides should have their weddings videotaped. The numbers go up in today’s economy, with the importance placed not on things, but on memories and legacies.

    “Our married friends mentioned that we wouldn’t remember too much after the wedding because the day goes by so fast. They were right! Thank you SO much for the beautiful video! With all the drama of that weekend, it was hard to remember all the details. You did a fabulous job of capturing the essence and feeling of the day. Every time we watch it, it’s like experiencing it all over again.” –Regards, Anne and Richard

    The results of this cross section of brides from across the country, showed that 98% of surveyed newlyweds recommended that brides have their weddings videotaped.
    Interestingly, brides don’t fully appreciate the value of video until after the wedding. Before the wedding, only a little more than half of surveyed brides considered video a “Top 10″ service in comparison to other wedding related services. However, after the wedding, that number climbs to 75%!
    Brides say video does a better job of capturing the emotions of the day, records the history of the day, and they strongly feel that future children will enjoy their wedding video more than their wedding photographs.
    When asked: “If you had a choice between looking at your grandparent’s wedding photos or their wedding video, which would you choose?” 61% of brides said they would rather see the video and that a professional photographer is a must. What do you have left after the event is over? You decide.
    Don’t let another moment pass you by…..
