Dear Bride:
While your wedding day is one of the most
precious events of your life, we know that planning for your
wedding can be one of the most stressful.
Countless decisions need to be made—Do you want video coverage
of your wedding, or will photography suffice? And if you decide on video,
which videographer should you choose? Or, could you save money by having
Uncle Frank take the video?
Our goal is to make this important decision easier
by including everything you need right here on our web site.
As you take a few minutes to read this letter you will experience a sense
of calmness and lightheartedness as you explore our information, resources,
sample videos, testimonials, packages, frequently asked questions, pricing
and more.
We can even help plan your wedding if that is what you
are looking for!
We believe the wedding videography business is about
“relationships.”
Because your wedding day is one of the most intimate days of your life,
we’ve created a short online video that
will help you get a feel for who we are, while sharing
important information to make your decision-making process much
easier.
A FIVE MINUTE INVESTMENT
IN YOU…
Since you’ve most likely spent, or are planning
on spending, months to make your day extra special, the five minutes you
take to watch our online video could be one of the best investments
of time that you can make.
Our video will:
| * |
Explain why you need video
coverage of your special day |
| * |
Show you samples of our wedding coverage |
| * |
Discuss why it’s not a good idea
to have a relative videotape your wedding |
| * |
Give you a feel for our passion and
commitment to you on your special day |
| * |
Highlight the benefits of having a
husband/wife videography team |
| * |
Show you how you can use your video
to re-capture the romance year after year |
| * |
Prove to you that the cost associated
with hiring us is nothing compared to the cost of NOT having coverage
of your special day |

IT’S AN HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO COVER YOUR
WEDDING
We want to earn your trust because we consider
it an honor to cover your wedding. We know just how special your
wedding day is!
We also promise to go the extra mile to give you
a custom, timeless DVD that will exceed your expectations and be treasured
for years to come.
Remember, the time you spend reading this letter
and watching the video is small, in comparison to the time involved in
planning for your wedding.
And this could be ONE of the most
important decisions you make.
Here’s why…
YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW FAST THE
TIME FLIES!
One of the most common complaints from brides
is that the wedding itself took so long to plan (months, or even
years) and yet the actual wedding day went by way too fast!
Think about the time involved in planning for your
wedding, compared to the actual time of the ceremony! All those months
of anticipation and yet the ceremony flies by in a heartbeat!
The good news is that, if you’ve captured
your day on video you will preserve those moments for a lifetime.
That special day, if captured, can be celebrated year after year as you
journey through your new life together.
 |
"I've
got to say... the wedding video is awesome! We love it and everyone
else that has seen it loves it too! We couldn't be happier! You
guys did a great job. It is a family heirloom that we will treasure
for the rest of our lives... I wish my parents would have had a
video of their wedding... our children will! :)
We just want you to know we appreciate everything both of you guys
did on our wedding day, and just watching the video again brings
back so many memories! You guys are true professionals and we were
really impressed! We will recommend you to everyone we know that's
getting married in the future... thanks again... take care!"
- Arlo and Misty Wallis, November 18, 2005

YOU WON'T BELIEVE
HOW MUCH YOU ACTUALLY MISS!
Another common complaint from married couples who
reflect back upon their wedding day is that they were so nervous or excited
that they didn’t even fully remember everything that happened that
day!
Yet if you have your wedding day captured on video,
you’ll be able to see those precious moments that you may have missed.
We specialize in capturing those moments and preserving the memories!
While photography can capture precious moments on
your special day, it won’t capture...
* the sincerity in your husband’s voice when he says his vows
* the giggles from your bridesmaids while getting ready
* the wonderful things said about you during the toast
* the joy in your parent’s eyes
* the way Aunt Emma dances to the Macarena...
... like video can.
While your photos can freeze a wonderful moment, video enhances
your photos by letting you relive those moments, as well as any
moments the Bride and Groom often miss.
We work with the photographer to capture your special
moments. For today's engaged couples, professional wedding videography
holds the same importance as wedding photography.
"I
just wanted to let you know that we watched the video and cried
and laughed all over again. It was so great. It was really neat
to see so many things that were going on while I was busy getting
ready and what not. There were even little things that happened
during the ceremony that I didn't realize until we watched the
video. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful way for
us to relive our day!!!!!"

ONE OF THE FEW EVENTS THAT BRING EVERYONE
TOGETHER
Plus, if you think about it—your wedding day
is not only one of the most special moments of your life, but
it’s also one of the FEW times family and friends all come together
in ONE place.
Besides your wedding, when would everyone get together?
Weddings bring together families of the
bride and groom, out-of-town friends and relatives, fellow classmates
and even fellow co-workers.
Again, below is a recap of the benefits you receive by having
video on your special day.
BENEFITS
OF HAVING YOUR WEDDING DAY ON VIDEO
| * |
You capture that special
day forever! |
| * |
You'll see things you most likely
missed during the ceremony and/or reception. |
| * |
You can prolong that special day
by capturing it on video |
| * |
You can preserve one of those
few times when everyone comes together in the same place |
| * |
You can use your video to recapture
the romance year after year by watching it on your anniversary. |
| * |
You'll have something to show
your children or grandchildren! |
| * |
You'll have a gift to give your
parents that they will treasure for a lifetime! |
| * |
You'll feel like a movie star!
After all, when else do you get this much attention? |
Now that we’ve shown you the benefits
of having video coverage of your special day you may be wondering
which videographer to choose?
Before we show you why you shouldn’t have
a relative cover your wedding and the things to look FOR in a videographer,
we’d like to take a moment to introduce ourselves…
  |
OUR
COMMITTMENT TO YOU BACKED BY 16 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE |
As we mentioned earlier, we look at covering your
wedding as an honor, not just another paid gig.
We are in this business because of our passion
for helping people make the most out of their special event!
As a happily married couple, it’s
a privilege to cover your special day as you prepare
for your wonderful life together.
We also have a broad range of experience
that we bring to the table:
| * |
Rob studied film at San
Francisco State and has over 16 years of experience
producing wedding videos. |
| * |
Lesley has 16 years of experience
in the event planning industry as well as vast experience
in the wedding industry. (Read below if you’d like help
planning your wedding/reception as well). |
| * |
As a team, our videography and editing will
convey your day as seen through the eyes of your guests
capturing those moments that should not be missed and finding
those that often are! |
| * |
We pride ourselves in going above and
beyond what most videographers do and we spend a great deal
of time and energy to make your wedding video perfect. (We
know we’ve accomplished our mission when you laugh and cry each
time you watch your video!) |
| * |
We use state-of-the art equipment
and have two camera operators to ensure full coverage. You receive
a fully edited DVD (up to 2 hours)
in a custom case with custom labels. Plus many
more extras! (Keep reading to find out) And we have packages
to fit most budgets.
|
 |
"Wow!
We can never thank you enough for the exceptional care and attention
you gave to creating our wedding video. Thank you for taking the
time to really get to know us. Thank you for listening and understanding
what was important to us. The finished product exceeds all of our
expectations.
You created more than a mere video, you beautifully preserved our
most precious memories. You went above and beyond what is called
for or expected in a business relationship today."
~ Mike and Samantha Risser, July

At this point you may be thinking, "Okay, you've
convinced me that I NEED video coverage of my special day, but can't I
save money by having a relative videotape my wedding?"
Yes, you can save money by having a family member videotape your wedding,
but you may not be happy with their "well-intentioned" results:
TOP 10 REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT LET UNCLE FRANK OR AUNT EMMA SHOOT YOUR WEDDING VIDEO
| #10 |
Aunt Emma has cataracts. |
| #9 |
Uncle Frank likes to get people to talk about
World War II. |
| #8 |
Aunt Emma doesn’t realize the lens cap
is on while she's videotaping. |
| #7 |
Aunt Emma thinks your niece or nephew is more
entertaining than you. |
| #6 |
Aunt Emma has a crush on the best man. |
| #5 |
Uncle Frank likes the girls! You’ll end
up with footage of every gal except you! |
| #4 |
Uncle Frank likes to drink. You may end up
with footage of the front lawn. |
| #3 |
Aunt Emma has a nervous twitch. (Especially
around the best man). |
| #2 |
Uncle Frank likes to cuss when he’s had
too much to drink. You won't be able to *bleep* out his words! |
| #1 |
Aunt Emma forgets to turn off the video recorder
eveery time she uses the restroom! |
We hope we’ve convinced you NOT to have a
family member videotape your wedding.
And we hope we’ve provided you with a little humor
to make your planning a little less stressful!
Now it's time to explore exactly what to look for before hiring ANY videographer.
CHECKLIST OF THINGS TO LOOK FOR
IN A WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER
Below is a list of things you will want to consider
when looking for a videographer for your wedding.
 |
First and foremost look for
a wedding videographer(s) that you are
comfortable with. Remember this person (or team)
will be sharing your special day with you. Find someone who believes
it’s an honor to cover your special day, rather than just
another paid gig.
We'd be happy to schedule a no-obligation "get aquainted"
meeting with you. In fact, we encourage it! |
 |
Think about the look and feel you
would like captured on video and find the videographer
that will be able to capture that.
For example, do you want an “artsy,
hollywood” type movie with special effects or do you want
timeless, classic coverage of your wedding?
We will work with you to give you exactly what you are looking for.
Though we can do special effects, our specialty is creating timeless,
classic videos. |
 |
Think about the kind of coverage you would
like.
For example, is it important to have coverage
of you and your bridesmaid’s getting ready? If so, you may
feel more comfortable with a female videographer.
And you may want a male/female team who can capture
the girls and the guys.
That's where a husband/wife team comes in handy! |
 |
Do you want one camera or two?
Having two camera coverage allows more viewpoints to be captured.
For example, one camera can be on you, while another is on your
husband-to-be.
Then one camera can focus on the two of you, and the other can focus
on the audience's reaction to you!
We work with you to help you determine what's best for your needs! |
 |
Does the videographer have sample videos,
including full-length videos?
You should ALWAYS watch demo videos from the videographers. Most allow
you to view samples online but it is also good to request a full-length
video.
CLICK HERE to see our online samples.
We are always happy to send you a full-length video of one of our
weddings as well! Give us a call at PHONE NUMBER to request a copy! |
 |
Read and/or request testimonials
from satisfied customers.
You should always look at testimonials from other customers. Also,
any videographer should be happy to give you the phone numbers of
satisfied customers as well!
Please explore our testimonials on this page, and feel free to request
the contact information of our satisfied customers |
 |
Request a meeting with the videographers
before you decide.
You may find that some videographers don’t
want to meet with you unless you’ve agreed to buy their package.
Again, we are glad to meet with you before you
make this important decision!
|
 |
Find out exactly what the different packages
cover.
For example, you may think you are getting
three copies of the DVD and your package only allows for one. Then
you may have to pay extra for additional copies. (See our packages
below which include extra copies for FREE)
Does your DVD come packaged in a custom case
with a custom label? How many camera hours does your package cover?
How many hours are spent post-production? (Again see our packages
below to see exactly what you receive with our wedding packages). |
 |
Look for a videographer that will have
a pre-production meeting with you to outline your events
of the day to make sure they don’t miss out on anything.
We schedule a FREE two hour pre-production
meeting with all of our clients to create a time line of
your special day and to find out what moments are important to you. |
 |
Find out how much time is spent
editing the wedding footage.
Some videographers will only spend a specific
amount of time editing the video.
While we estimate the time spent on editing based on the amount
of coverage you need, we will take as much time needed to
give you a DVD that you will treasure forever!
This is where we go the extra mile! We spend a great amount of time
editing our videos to give you something that you will be proud
of! |
 |
Ask how long the final DVD will
be?
Our final DVD includes 90 minutes
to 2 hours of footage.
Whereas others might just include “highlights.” |
 |
Ask if there are any other special bonuses
or additional items included in the package?
Our packages include many extras. (See below). But
please feel free to compare prices and services.
We know you will find our prices are competitive and our services
are unparalleled.

"Rob and Lesley were wonderful
to work with. From our first meeting at the Bridal Show I knew
they were going to be my videographers. They took the time to
talk to me even amidst all the other people at the show. They
were very willing to do use my ideas, and were very easy to talk
with. Our video turned out even better than I imagined. They made
the video “ours” with our personality, not a scripted
thing that looks like everybody else’s. I highly recommend
ImageWise, you can’t go wrong!"
~ Heidi and Carl, January '05

was your communication from early on. I hope you realize how important
that was to me from planning my wedding from the other side of
the country and I just appreciate how you never made me feel "forgotten"
in any way. You are both extremely talented. I know that our friends
and families are going to love watching our wedding video!"

sixty percent of brides interviewed who did not have their wedding
videotaped wish they had. For today's engaged couples, professional
wedding videography holds the same importance as wedding photography.
P.P.S Because of the personal touch we give to EVERY wedding
(and all the extra time spent post production), we only book two
weddings a month, so you’ll want to call right away to
see if we’re available on your special day!
P.P.P.S And if you book now you'll receive $200 off your wedding
package. Plus all the extra bonuses we provide!
