After three months of anticipation, I finally had the chance to meet with my videographer this past week. Alex Tomek greeted us warmly when we arrived, then ushered us into the mock living room that was set up as part of his office. As Mr. Tomato and I settled comfortably into the couch, he started to play our video. To my surprise, a lump formed in my throat as I saw the opening scenes of our wedding day. Alex had wonderfully captured the way the sun shone that day, the span of the gorgeous view that Auberge was known for, and the interaction of my loved ones as they arrived for the ceremony.

I had never planned on hiring a videographer for my wedding, since I believed having a photographer was enough. But when my friend introduced me to Lumitone’s work, I discovered otherwise.

For example, Alex has multiple cameras set up in various spots during the ceremony so he can capture expressions during times that no one else can. He caught the winks and nudges of Mr. Tomato and I as our pastor was going over the wedding message. He caught the sound of laughter, and the speeches by our best man and maid of honor. He caught the performance of a song that some of the guests sang for us. You simply can’t capture music on a photographer’s camera.

For some, perhaps having your uncle videotape your wedding is enough. But there is a far cry between state-of-the-art equipment and someone’s shaky handycam if you want professionalism and images no amateur can capture. I can’t recommend Alex enough! His rates are also very reasonable compared to other videographers in the area.

For a sample of his work, check out our video montage (about 3-4 minutes long):
