Mail Bag: Pittsburgh Wedding Video

Dave,

Mike and I got the video in the mail yesterday. We got to watch it last night. We LOVED it! You and your staff did an amazing job! We were so excited to watch it. We especially liked how you edited parts of the ceremony, reception..etc. for it not to be too long, but not leave out important details of the day. We felt like we were starring in our own movie! The video will be one of the most memorable reminders of our wedding day. I think we are going to watch it again this weekend! :)

Thanks again for making the trip to Pittsburgh on such a tight schedule. You and your staff's commitment truly showed on that day! Thank you for being a part of our special day and making it one we will never forget!

On the way to Cape May . . .

I just want to congratulate our newest Creative Editor, Danielle Rogal Redenbaugh, on a fantastic edit.

It is obvious from the email below that Danielle's thoughtful shot choices and use of voiceovers turned a beautiful Congress Hall wedding into a timeless film for Chris and Jenn. We are very proud to have Danielle join our creative team as a shooter and an editor.

Dave Williams, DVideography

[Please post a comment]

Hi Guys,

We had a really busy (all fun) weekend, and I finally got time to really watch the movie and give it the time it deserved.

We are just in awe at how awesome you guys are. I don't even think you can classify these as wedding videos the way there is so much thought that goes into it.

I was watching the video thinking "Oh it was pretty cool that I caressed Jenn just then or kissed her at a special moment", but then I remembered.... Dave directed me to do that, and I was just being an obedient groom. But it really is impressive how you have the vision of how it will look in the final video, or to us our cinema masterpiece. We love all the panning and just great shots.

Danielle, you had me and everyone else tearing up.........ok I shed a few tears. Once I finally truly watched it, I felt like I got what you were doing with the different scenes and the way they transitioned from one another. I really loved the tribute to Jenn's mom, just enough to feel it, but then it transitioned into my mom welcoming her as a daughter. Awesome job. I was so attached to that other song, but it was a great call to use this music, it fit perfect.

EVERYONE says oh its like your watching a real movie, not someone's wedding.......which you guys must here all the time.

Just wanted to let you know that we really did notice and appreciate all the work you put into it.

Thank you very much.

Chris and Jenn

Hi Dave,

I finally had a chance to watch my wedding video. It was hands down the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Being a bridesmaid 10 times, I have never seen a video quite so professional and movie-like. Thanks again for everything. You really out-did yourself!

Mail Bag: Morgan and Matt

Hi Dave and Sheryl

Thank you so much for the most amazing video we've ever seen. We knew when we hired you for our wedding you would produce nothing less than spectacular. We watched the video last night with my parents in absolute awe and with so much gratitude. We laughed and cried throughout the whole thing and were able to relive the incredible day that was our wedding. Please tell all of your production staff thank you and that we appreciate the hard work and effort that was put into the video. The editing alone was unbelievable. Thank you for fixing our introduction into the ballroom. It sounds a lot better to be married to Matt rather than his brother, Mike and thank you for cutting the Ave Maria part short. I remember standing there thinking, "why are they still playing." You knew exactly how to re-create the evening and make it better and more perfect.

I know that you were still working on it as of yesterday morning and when I received the call from my dad say he was coming home with the video I literally jumped out of my chair at work and yelled, "YES!" After watching the trailer about 1000 times and showing it to all of our friends they've been waiting with anticipation to see the rest of the video. Even my office wants to have a wedding movie lunch break so they can see it. I'm sure I'll be watching the video everyday for at least the next month. It'll definitely become a fixture in my dvd drive.

The out-takes were hilarious and I'm so happy that you put the part with you and me in there. I would certainly want to remember you as a part in my wedding day rather than someone behind the scenes. Even though we've only spoken a few times and spent a couple of hours together I felt an immediate connection as I know my father has as
well. I hope that in years to come we'll stay in touch and you'll be there to capture future events and milestones in our lives.

Have a wonderful weekend!
All the best,
Morgan and Matt Palmedo

Two Bar Mitzvahs and a Bat Mitzvah

When I first met Dave Williams, he impressed us as the ideal professional-combining skill & expertise in his field with a personal warmth & ease that made him a pleasure to work with. That was five years & three shared projects ago. The initial impression was surpassed.

To be honest, I approached having a videographer with some ambivalence & saw it as an expendable extravagance. But now we see the opportunity to relive these precious moments in our family life as priceless. We cherish having them. The landmark events in our lives fly by us in a whirlwind of emotions, but Dave artfully captures the heart & spirit of these occasions. We are grateful to him for going the extra step to produce an extra special product. He is the best.

Mail Bag: Michelle and Michael. Tarrytown, NY

Dave,

We just spent the day preparing for Thanksgiving, sat down on the couch with a glass of wine and checked our email to see that our trailer was waiting for us in our inbox! Michelle's parents were here with us and we all watched it ten times already, it was just phenomenal! From the first day we saw your work to the day of our wedding, you and your crew have been top-notch. Especially after driving five hours from a previous wedding to ours the next day, you guys were refreshed, energetic, and so much fun! Now we receive an email at 9:30pm the night before Thanksgiving letting us know our trailer is ready to be viewed, you guys are incredible!

As a professional in the wedding industry myself, I knew I wanted to hire only the best to film our wedding and there was always only one choice, DVideography! It's funny, my clients always say that we capture things that they forgot about or things that they can't even remember happening. It's hard to impress me and exceed my expectations because of my own experience, but wow! You guys were everywhere yet nowhere and captured some incredible footage, most of which flashed by extremely fast on our wedding day! With just our trailer, you guys have proved how valuable a videographer truly is! We can't wait for more! Michelle and I wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving and want to thank you for EVERYTHING!! Please keep in touch.

Warmest Regards,
Michelle and Michael DiChiaro

Mail Bag: Mom's Favorite Part Was The Outtakes

September 26, 2007

Dear Dave,

After speaking to your wife last week, I decided to write to tell you how pleased we are with the wedding video. Had the decision to have a video been mine, it would never have happened. I had no desire to have it for posterity. It was very important to our Dave, the groom. We figured it was a good project for him, along with picking the band. He did all the research and decided to go with DVideography. Just as he picked the band because he was impressed with its’ leader, Dave picked another Dave who impressed him, to do the video. We’re so very glad he did!

I have seen the completed video several times now and I cry every time! I can’t believe how much I would have forgotten! Until I saw the video, I was certain I had not seen the cake cutting, but there I am! However, my favorite part is the Outtakes! As you remember, we had some unique challenges! How many wedding videos have unintentional fire trucks! And the footage in the elevator is priceless. The procession from the Sofitel to Davio’s and the bridal party walking through downtown were both events we had not seen and would not have seen if not for video.

The biggest compliment I can give is that you were invisible. Yet you managed to be everywhere and capture everything. To me, that is the sign of a highly skilled, talented videographer. Not once were we aware of you doing your work! You were so unobtrusive that I don’t think I would recognize you!

As you can tell, I am a video convert. I now know that my previous experiences with “wedding video” was based on less professional work. I know several brides-to-be and will be recommending that they have video. Not just any video, but DVideography.

Thanks so much for an incredible finished product and flawless work the day of the wedding. We’ll recommend you to anyone who’ll listen.

For Stephanie's 50th Birthday - A Youvie!

Chuck wanted to create something very special for his wife, Stephanie. Her 50th Birthday was approaching. Stephanie had always loved musicals. So the party was planned as a Broadway Musical to be held at the Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia. We worked with Chuck and the kids to produce a Youvie (our speacial brand of concept video) to open up the show - one she and her guests would not forget.

Don't forget to view the outtakes. They are hilarious.

Special thanks to Brian Kappra of Evantine Design for putting the party together. The room was gorgeous and everything ran flawlessly.

From Chuck:
I can't thank each of you enough for all of your hard work and dedication to make Stephanie's party the most magical night ever. Our friends and families have not stopped raving about the ambiance, food and entertainment. The video is the talk of the town, and the broadway show was spectacular. Most important to me was that Stephanie felt the night was the best in her life and she loved every part of it. Your professionalism was beyond belief and you should be very proud of the impact you have made on so many people. WOW!!!! Chuck

From Stephanie:
Dear Dave,

Well, what can I say? The video was truly a highlight of my life. The time, effort and love that you and my family put into it was heartwarming. The story was written so well, along with the original scores that we are all singing! I have watched this over and over and over again, and can't wait to watch it again, and so have all of my friends & family.

Your entire team is truly professional and I can feel the passion in their work. The editing was phenomenal. It came across so well with my family's personality, you even turned them into actors and actresses. The outtakes were awesome. I was so happy to be able to see the process. How you all pulled this off while I was gone is beyond me!

The entire evening was SPECTACULAR! Chuck really knew how to shock me! It was such a beautiful night, and one that will fill me for a lifetime. It was magical!

Thank you, thank you for everything. You are absolutely the best! Stephanie

Reactions on Hidden Camera

Nicole and Brian were so excited to hear we were shipping their DVDs that they asked if they could drive over to pick them up. They wanted to see some of the video right away. Knowing how fun they were, I decided to turn my little consumer palmcorder on them from the corner of the room. Here's their reaction.

Thanks for being such good sports and allowing me to share this Nicole!

Mail Bag: Letters from the bride, groom, AND Mom.

From the bride:

Dave,

We went away and just returned. I had to pick them up so that's why there's been a delay. Mom and Madison are out of the country so you'll be hearing from them I'm sure later this week as I'm off to the post office to mail them their copy right after I send this to you.

It's really incredible. Tom, the girls and I watched the video together and we laughed and cried and went crazy. It's so beautiful and the music is perfect. It's so special words can't express our feelings. What a treasure. I'm going to go crazy until Mom and Madison get home to see it. For Tom and I it was like being there for the first time. You're so talented I could go on and on.

Thank you so much again for your creative and hard work. We will let all our friends and family know that they can purchase a copy through you. We'll be in touch.

Angie

From the groom:

Hello Dave, Long time no hear sir….

Well I have to tell you, Angie and I were so excited to hear that the video had been completed, she made me promise that we watch it together, and we just recently watched the video with my 2 daughters since it was my week with the kids….

We are absolutely blown away by the video, it turned out so well, words cannot express how we both feel at the moment. We now know all the details, those things Angela and I had missed while we were caught up in the moment, feels like the day just blew by and we felt we missed so much, the video really brings out the joy, the beauty, and the moments that are etched in our memories for ever.

Thank You so much for your hard work, you and your staff have the gift of talent as the end result is nothing like we expected, it was so much more!
Angela and I want you to know, we are so very grateful that Jo and Madison picked you to do our video, and we Thank You from the bottom of our hearts. This is very special to us, and we will cherish this video for the rest of our lives.

When my daughters decide to wed, I know who to call!

Thank you for everything Dave, you guys are the Best!

Tom Torres

Dave,

We went away and just returned. I had to pick them up so that's why there's been a delay. Mom and Madison are out of the country so you'll be hearing from them I'm sure later this week as I'm off to the post office to mail them their copy right after I send this to you.

You're so talented I could go on and on.

Thank you so much again for your creative and hard work. We will let all our friends and family know that they can purchase a copy through you. We'll be in touch.

Angie

From Mom:

We are flabbergasted by your work. We have shown it to many friends and as they watch they invariably oooh and ahhhh over you! Everyone is blown away by the videography, editing, and music. It looks like a beautiful feature film. Yesterday I showed it to an actress friend of mine who said it sounded as though it had been scripted ... now that's good editing. And to think we don't even remember you being there! It boggles the mind, you are amazing. It has such a natural beautiful seamless flow that captures the day in perfect detail. Your sensitivity shows in every frame. To watch is to be served up our most intimate feelings by a master craftsman who understands the delicate subtleties of his task. The music choices are dead on. They carried us through every turn underscoring the journey in perfect harmony. It was especially wonderful to hear a string version of Beauty and the Beast played under the footage after Jeannne finished the song. Your choice of sound bites over the perfect footage is both thoughtful and beautiful. The rehearsal dinner prayer by my brother-in-law and so many other choices that took real thought and care. There is so much attention to detail that we know will hold even more meaning for us as the years go by. Words are not enough to express our appreciation for such immense care. Thank you, thank you, thank you without end.

In Deepest Gratitude and Respect,

Jo and Madison Galbraith

I must tell you that I brought my DVD up to my family this weekend and everyone loved, loved it. They loved the editing, music and voiceovers. You/Gary had everyone crying!

Also, everyone told me that they thought your version of the 3 minute wedding recap video was the best by far! And so do I! --I visit the site regularly to reminisce and I always want to end on your version because it is my favorite.

I hope all is well with you. And thank you for everything!!! You are video artists.

Bar Mitzvah Montage at Temple Beth Shalom, Cherry Hill, NJ

Dave,

First of all, we considered ourselves to be genius, that is, to give free license to you, to do whatever you wanted on the montage. Can I tell you, we had over 50 people Sunday morning for brunch, and we played it over and over again all day long, to everyones delight.

You and your group are truly talented at least and artists at best. We cannot wait to see what your finished product will be on Drew's DVD of his bar mitzvah.

Just wanted you to know everyone kept asking who did the montage. We have taken lots of credit for having the foresight to hire you and believe me, we will sing your accolades forever.

Warmest regards,

David, Daryl and Drew

Mail Bag: Stephanie and Ken's Reaction

Hi Dave (and Sheryl)

Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job with our wedding video. We barely had it a week and had already watched it more than 20 times. It was great to be able to relive the experience together and to see moments of the day that we didn’t get to experience(Kenny enjoyed watching the girls get ready and I loved seeing everyone come down the aisle while I was waiting outside).

The whole thing was just put together unbelievably in a way that made it fun and engaging to watch – you can see everyone’s emotions, reactions and excitement, and the sound quality is flawless.

We been enjoying sharing the recap with our California friends who couldn’t make it out for the wedding, but our favorite part is definitely the outtakes. We were doubled over with laughter. I don’t know how you caught some of that footage -- you are a master and you captured everyone’s personalities perfectly.

Thanks you again, Dave. It was a pleasure working with you, Sheryl and your crew. We felt confident in your expertise, comfortable with your unobtrusive approach and knew that you had our wishes at the forefront of everything you did. You delivered customer service that exceeded our expectations – especially that Christmas Eve video delivery that made my parent’s year!

We wish you all the best in 2007 and hope our
paths cross on a project in the future.

Best,
Ken & Stephanie Tomei

Anything for the Shot

Hi Dave,

So I saw you the other week at the ASTRO meeting
zooming around the Accuray booth filming their launch of the 2006 Cyberknife. I was in from CA to attend the meeting with my client, Philips. I wanted to say hello but could tell you were busy. I swear you are EVERYWHERE!

Attached to the left is a shot Heather Fowler took of you strapped to the back of the golf cart. She also has one of you on top of the limo bus -- you go to great lenghts to get your shots! In fact, I saw the one on your blog when you went up in the bucket. So funny.

Anyway, I hope all is well with you and Sheryl. Take care.

Best,
Stephanie

Angela and Tom - New Hope, PA

Watch the Movie

Listen to the Parents' Voicemail

This was just one of those magically beautiful weddings. A perfect autumn day in a very colorful New Hope, Pennsylvania.

A little over 70 family and friends helped celebrate Angie and Tom's day. This had to be one of the most loving families we have shot.

It all began at the rehearsal dinner on Friday night at the Stockton Inn. Then the ceremony on Saturday at Thompson Memorial Presbyterian Church. Then off to a gorgeous event at the parent's home and barn, designed by Evantine Design with a delicious presentation catered by Max & Me.

Congratulations 'Gigi' and Tom! :-)

Karen and Amin at Appleford

Dave,

Your editing of the video is amazing! It is gorgeous. Anyone viewing it would be amazed.

Your capture of the ceremony is wonderful. The speeches, first dance, and cake cutting are great. We loved the shots you got of people hanging out together at the tables. We LOVED how you came upon our friend Bill telling the story about Amin.

The recap was beautiful. Everyone that has watched it has needed a box of tissues.

Karen

P.S. I thought I’d include some of the reactions we had to the recap…

Oh My Gosh.....This is so beautiful. I am totally speacheless. What a wonderful job they did on this....you too look so happy. I was so caught up in the actual moment that I missed out on the close ups. This is such a neat was to revisit that special day. Thanks for sharing!
That is the most beautiful wedding video I have ever seen. I can't believe I just cried here at my desk! I can only imagine how touched you and Amin are to have something so special. Your kids, God willing, are going to love watch that.
I know I'm preggo and emotional blah, blah, blah but that video left me blubbering like an idiot. I loved it.
This is absolutely fabulous!!! What a great way to remember your special day.
That was the most beautiful video. It was done so well and professionally, like no other wedding video I've seen. Thanks for sharing. Olivia got a kick out of watching it too.

Chuppah-Cam

Hello Dave ---

It's Billy Katz, from the Marshall-Katz wedding on September 3rd. Dave, I am so blown away by the Director’s View Recap of our wedding! I am completely amazed by how many highlights you were able to pack into four-and-a-half minutes --- everyone that has seen it has just raved. I myself have watched it over and over in the two days since we received it, and I get choked up every single time I see it. The voiceovers by the little kids are at once precious and poignant. The editing is seamless, and the whole video builds so beautifully from beginning to end. Even the music is just right!

And we weren't sure how you would work in the Chuppah-cam, but that lone shot of Megan and me embracing just after I smash the glass is so effective and dramatic! We really made the right choice of videographers, that's for sure. Everything about the video is so professional and perfect.

Dave, I can't thank you and your team enough for such attention to detail, and for helping us relive our event in such a joyous presentation. This is truly something we will treasure for years to come.

With Warmest Regards,

--- Billy

Just another Bat Mitzvah photo montage? Not a chance!

Dave,

No less than 80 people told me "Grandma Mortar" was the best video they'd ever seen. A few confessed that they were dreading yet another boring bat mitzvah montage and then raved about how incredible and professional this was. Leah says the kids from school were still talking about it and they all want copies. So too do several out-of-town relatives who want to show it to friends they told about the video. Congratulations!!!

Regards,

Carol Benenson Perloff (Mom)

Same Day Edit at the Crystal Tea Room

Dave...
Damian and I enjoyed the video very much. Thank you so much for the little details that were addressed during the video. i.e. the prayer for Damian's dad. I also would like to thank you for all the little bits of footage of my niece, even though she was just there in the beginning of the day. i.e the limo ride, the lighting of the candle and the spins at the hotel. Seeing the video each time makes me remember what a extremely special day November 25 was. Thank you so much to you and your crew for all of your hard work. People are still talking about our same day edit and how wonderful it was. This video is something that Damian and I will watch for many years to come. It has been a pleasure working with you.
Thank you again!
