Ah, yes, the cost.

If you've read some of the pages of this web site, and looked at the video clips, you can tell that this is not the typical wedding video that some people have come to loath. Many people don't even consider a wedding video because they've seen so many bad ones. Most of them are cheap, and are only slightly better than home video with lots of cheesy effects.. And most of them never get watched more than once, if ever.

Remember, you get what you pay for. The event's of your wedding day only happen once, just once in your life. You can't do it again for the camera. So carefully consider if saving a few hundred dollars today is worth what you may actually lose forever...you're one chance to have something incredible. 

You really can't compare the cost of the videos seen here to most of what's available. You have to compare the cost to what other quality vendors charge for their services. More than likely, if you're looking at this page you've already hired or are considering one of a few very respected, high-end photographers who almost certainly charge more for a collection of still images than the entire story that I shoot and edit together, which goes way beyond a collection of stills. Relatively speaking, I'm a bargain.

So what is the cost? Well, you may have noticed this page is only linked from the video clips page and F.A.Q. page, so only those interested enough to see the sample clips, or read about my services will get the chance to read this. But, you'll have to call so I can learn more about your day, and perhaps give a custom quote if necessary, instead of one-size-fits-all price, that might not work for your day.

 

Don't let this happen to you:

Dave,

I am not sure if you remember me or not but I considered hiring you to tape my wedding on 9-9-06. Very unfortunatly, we did not go with you and I deeply regret it. They guy we did go with totally blotched our video!!!!!!!!

He stood BEHIND me the entire time during the ceremony. Seriouslly! There is not ONE face shot of me-only the back of my head and all close up of my groom.

The other camera guy was in the balcony the entire time and zoomed in but it was still only the side of me and VERY far away. I had a 6 page list of edits I requested for him to change. Doubt he has the footage but I had to at least try.

I deeply regret not going with you as my instincts said to but we went with a local guy instead who sort of a friend of the families. We payed the same amount we would have payed you and got a HORRIBLE video. He also lied and treated us with disrespect AFTER the wedding.

as you know- you can never redo a wedding.

Just thought I'd let you know I have thought of you often because my intuition told me to stick with you.....I wish we would have.

Thanks anyways. I know YOU would have done a great job.

Sniff sniff,

Laura
