The Difference...What sets my work apart.

Real World Experience. I work in areas of video production that go way beyond weddings, and I bring that broadcast real-world experience and style to weddings. My wedding work has earned national level awards.

Style. Most wedding videos all look very similar in their style. They have a string of "video clips" or segments of the day strung together, and they add music, and sometimes unnecessary effects. But usually, they are too long, and can get boring. They approach the video as simply the "moving picture" version of taking photographs. I'm not just a videographer, I'm a film maker, and I approach the wedding day as a story of the anticipation, the emotional build up, the beauty and exitement of the event.

Editing is everything. Lots of videographers can gather footage. But what can they do with it? My editing is a non-stop interweaving of these elements to create a powerful documentary of the days events. The entire video is squeezed down to approximately 40 minutes, maybe a bit more or less, and extra various footage is included seperately.

Pace. You'll find my videos are UPBEAT and exciting, and not endless soft and fuzzy montages; I save that for the end! They are as close as you can get to a reality show of your wedding day, or a day in the life look at your wedding, and are addicting to watch. Many video makers simply create music montages, as if a simple extention of still photography. But, video is a story telling medium, and I take full advantage of that. Why don't others tell stories with their edits? Well, it's not easy.

Gear. The real deal, not just the little-guy cameras that produce shaky, sub-broadcast images. You'll see the difference in sharpness, color, and smooth camerawork.

By hiring me you are getting a creative, story telling producer, who has the technical and creative ability make the replay of the day even more exiting and compelling than the day itself. I don't influence or get in the way of the action; nothing is staged. In fact, if someone looks at the camera, I point it somewhere else. I try to be as invisible as possible.
