Meeting With My Videographer

October 20th, 2007 @ 2:59 pm by Mrs. Tomato

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):

Oh my goodness. Your montage was so sweet. I couldn’t help but think of my fiance (we are doing long distance for a little bit) and his smile looking at Mr. Tomato.

You looked gorgeous! :) I am in NYC, but your post persuaded me to get a videographer! heeheee

This was our big splurge. I didn’t even care for the photographs as much as the video, but got the package deal anyway. We took such a long time to pick out our favorite photos, text and credits for our custom DVD cover, that we didn’t get it done until two years later. Of course, by that time we had forgotten all the little details like the whispery way I recited my vows, the man’s prayer (Red Green Show), the way my sister formally dropped flowers down the aisle etc. It was amazing to see it put together.

I was so adamant about NOT having a videographer until I saw your video :). Can I ask you what the price range was?
