Interviewed Oct 8, 2009 What services do you offer?
We offer Modern and artistic wedding films
What are some of the latest trends in Videography?
A current trend in wedding videos seems to be the addition of a new style, documentary wedding films and bridal elegance (trashing of the dress). Another very, very new trend is SDV (Save the date--Videos) to substitute for the typical and long exercised save-the-date postcards. I am open to anything artistic.
How many video cameras do you usually take to a shoot?
My packages include coverage with one camera but have ALWAYS been booked for two-camera person coverage. It helps that I give a very clear understanding why 2 cameras to start is always the best option and I offer my 2nd cameraperson pretty much at cost; I take care of the extra workload in the editing room. I too am interested in your wedding video looking its best. Also important to note is that I always bring back up cameras.
How long does it take to edit a package?
A typical wedding I create takes about 4 months to complete.
What makes your work unique and/or exceptional?
My huge love and dedication to my work. I am my biggest critic and always find ways to improve and stay different from the rest of the pack. The level of personalized service and my ability to truly understand each couple to the point where their video truly represents them and not something I force upon them is part of what makes me different.
What can couples expect when they work with you?
I am very available and flexible to meet, email and speak with over the phone for any questions or creative brainstorming. I am open to any ideas you bring to the table and am always hoping to meet, and then exceed expectations. I operate a growing business, so the happier you are with me the quicker my studio will grow.
Do you offer any special effects, especially during the editing process?
I own many different professional programs to help me create just about any effect under the sun. The true trick is knowing when it is appropriate to add an effect to help enhance the experience for the viewers and when it is best to keep it simple and allowing the day's moments shine through as organically as possible.
Do you shoot in both black and white and color?
Absolutely. There are no limits; everything has its time and place.
Tell us about some of the most creative projects you’ve done and how couples can work with you to help make all the magic happen.
Here is what my latest bride had to say about me:
"We have no words to describe how beautiful our video preview is. We are so excited with the wonderful job you've done for us. We want to thank you for taking your time to listen to what we wanted and for getting to know us. I love how personalized the video is. You have really captured our soul. Congratulation for your talent..." Dan & Pam

I recently worked on former President Clinton's Global Awareness summit, C.G.I 2009. This was a very exclusive 4-day summit with very high profile guests attending (mostly former presidents, prime ministers and international political figures along with celebrities). I interviewed Matt Damon, Calvin Klein and Mario Cuomo to name a few.
I have also worked the red carpet for Time Magazine 100 Most Influential Figures the past two years. I still love working weddings, more; these other things are just fun to do and a great addition to my bio. :)
