We found our videographer!
We were a bit hesitant at first about getting one because all of the footage Mr. Peppermint and I would watch seemed trite, and the overall presentation didn’t seem to fit our sensibilities. We wanted to have a record of the event, but we also wanted something that reflected us. Unfortunately, the style we were looking for came at a high price. The look and feel we responded to was captured mostly by cinematographers and cost upwards of $5,000. I felt resigned to the idea that we’d settle on a cheaper videographer that didn’t ‘fit’ because we couldn’t afford what we wanted.
Then, a little while ago I got an email from a film group I’m a part of that happened to be about wedding videography (very unusual–most of the emails are about free screenings and job opportunities). They were circulating information on a wedding videographer whose work has a “very natural-feeling montage-y kind of thing, not a super-boring 6-hour marathon”. This sounded much more like what we wanted (and at our price), so I thought I’d give him a shot.
After contacting him via email, Mr. Peppermint and I arranged to meet him last Thursday night. We saw a DVD of a recent wedding and discussed some of our concerns. The three of us really seemed to see eye to eye. So, after discussing with Mr. Peppermint and talking to my Dad, it’s settled: we have a videographer!!
Check out his stuff here. (In his sample section, there’s a clip from the wedding he showed us - the clip can be seen under “ceremony”)
that clip captures a really fun wedding! that officiant is a hoot!
we hired him a month ago too!
wow! i like his style too. it looks really professioal, as if they’re scenes from a romantic comedy!
