What Can a Professional Video Do for A Wedding Planner?
A professionally produced wedding video has the potential of showcasing the entire wedding process and fine details. We find that brides and grooms comment from our demo tape that they got ideas for their wedding on other aspects besides whether they would get a professional videotape made. Reception halls, disc jockeys, flowers, catering and other details are part of the visual extravaganza a quality wedding video can highlight. You might also consider having a videotape produced to explain your services to potential clients.

How Long Have You Been Doing This?
We have covered weddings for over 25 years. We had our beginnings in still photography and moved to small format film in the 1970s. The advances in video and computer technology, advanced editing and professional level equipment has enabled us to continue to provide high quality wedding video coverage with a growing clientele of satisfied customers and referrals.
