Many people in Johnston, Wake and Wilson Counties have used it to call me when they needed a high quality videographer. In fact, you may recognize some of the faces in one of my Sample DVDs that are available on request. Give me a call and tell me about your wedding and what will be happening at your reception and I'll send you a wedding DVD I have produced similiar to your plans.
There are two questions every bride wants answered right off the bat when she calls me:
"HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?" Between $350. and $2000., the average is probably closer to $700., with a few extras added.
"COULDN'T I SAVE ALL THAT MONEY IF I HAVE A FRIEND TAPE MY WEDDING ON THEIR CAMCORDER?" The answer is yes, you would save money, and you would not be happy with the results. Especially when you see how wonderful a professional wedding video can be. A professionally produced wedding video isn't just a little better than what your friend could do. It is a lot better. Better sound...brighter colors...sharper images...better editing. But there are more than just technical advantages to going with a pro. There is the artistic advantage:
We will produce a wedding video that is a work of art. And like a work of art, you will cherish it for a lifetime.
Print this page. Call me right now at 1-919-934-0402. Arrange an appointment without obligation, without pressure. View my video for a fun education on the art of wedding videography. We'll talk about your church, available lighting, and very important "nitty gritty things" you need to know about wedding videos before you plan your wedding.
Even if you don't use my services, take a minute and jot your name and address down on the back of this page when you print it off. Pass it on to a friend. If she calls me and ends up selecting me and I video her wedding, I'd like to present you with a $40. Gift Certificate to a popular restaurant in town.
