JUST MARRIED, AND I STILL CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THE WEDDING DVD! THANK YOU TO ISLEMEDIA HAWAII (ALAN AND HIS CREW)! ALAN IS VERY CREATIVE AND OPEN TO IDEAS FOR YOUR VIDEO. HE WAS ABLE TO DO AN INTERVIEW WITH US ABOUT HOW WE MET, AND DID CLEVER EDITING, SO THAT IT SEEMED WE WERE TELLING THE STORY TOGETHER, EVEN THOUGH THE SCENES WERE SHOT SEPARATELY. IT WAS A HIT AT THE RECEPTION!
CEREMONY FOOTAGE WAS INCLUDED IN THE VIDEO, AND SHOWN [ON TIME!] FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. ALAN AND HIS GANG WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL DURING THE PRE WEDDING SHOOT, AND THE DAY OF THE WEDDING. IT WAS AS THOUGH THEY WEREN'T EVEN THERE. I TRUSTED ISLEMEDIA TO TAKE WHATEVER DIRECTION THEY WANTED, AND THEY DIDN'T DISAPPOINT.
CHOOSING A VIDEOGRAPHER/PHOTOGRAPHER IS A PERSONAL CHOICE. IN THE END, YOU MAKE THE DECISIONS OF WHO YOU WANT TO HIRE. ALAN TOOK THE TIME TO ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS, AND HE WAS NOT PUSHY. HE DID NOT DISCUSS ANY PRICING LISTS, UNTIL I ASKED, WHICH I WAS VERY APPRECIATIVE OF. I DID NOT FEEL ANY OBLIGATION TO HIRE ALAN, AND HE DIDN'T MAKE ME FEEL THAT WAY.
I CHOSE TO GO WITH ISLEMEDIA IN THE END, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH ISLEMEDIA IS A NEW CO., ALAN WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW WELL PREPARED HE WAS TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.
MOST OF THE OTHER VIDEOGRAPHERS I LOOKED INTO, CAME OFF ARROGANT AND PUSHY. THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS, BECAUSE THEY ONLY WANTED YOUR BUSINESS, AND WOULD HURRY OFF TO THE NEXT PERSON WHO SHOWED INTEREST.
ALAN TAKES THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW WHAT YOUR VISION IS. WE ARE SO HAPPY WITH THE WEDDING DVD, AND OUR FRIENDS LOVE THE FOOTAGE! THANK YOU ISLEMEDIA FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP! HOPE TO HAVE YOU AT ANOTHER EVENT!!
