Dear future brides and grooms,

Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding celebration! Your wedding day is one of the most important events in your life, an event of historical significance. Wedding videography is the ultimate art form for reliving the most precious moments of your life. A modern professional DVD wedding video when produced from start to finish by a talented videographer is a beautiful thing to behold. Like a stunning portrait, your wedding video will be revered for a lifetime.

I specialize in elegant, unobtrusive, video-journalistic style all-digital DVD wedding videography. My goal is to produce state-of-the-art SD & HD DVD's that artistically and unobtrusively capture the many very special "priceless" moments of your wedding day, unposed and recorded as they happen. All of my comprehensive DVD wedding video packages include unlimited wedding day coverage hours plus no hidden extra charges including taxes, mileage, overtime fees, etc.that are often not reflected in many advertised video packages on many videography websites. Unlike most other video production companies today that often videotape almost "everything under the sun" from court depositions to children's parties, I am an exclusive "wedding video specialist" who only does weddings! I usually work alone or with one assistant to remain unobtrusive and I always make it an important point to never disrupt a sacred wedding ceremony! That is one of several important reasons why I attend every wedding rehearsal to meet with and discuss the ceremony videotaping rules with your parishioner and/or other wedding officiate(s). When talking to most ceremony officiates, they also often generously suggest the best "permitted" ceremony videotaping locations to get the best possible camcorder footage. They are always very appreciative that I take the time to both attend the wedding couple's rehearsal and ask questions in advance as to not disturb anyone on the day of the wedding when everyone is very busy and often rushed. I pre-plan my videotaping positions while surveying your wedding ceremony site for the best possible "invisible" wedding day coverage while also respecting all of the videotaping rules of your ceremony location. On your wedding day, because I've already been there and met all of your important ceremony participents, I know exactly where to be and whom to videotape without asking any annoying questions or disturbing anyone in attendance! Professional photographers, who rarely attend wedding rehearsals, often ask me to identify important wedding day participants, all of whom I met the night before at the rehearsal.

I personally both videotape and edit your entire wedding video DVD production from start to completion. Because I take great pride in each and every one of my original one-of-a-kind wedding video "masterpieces," I never use subcontracted camerapersons or freelance editors! Although there is much "sales hype talk" about the benefits of having multiple videographers at your wedding, the fact is; it is usually considerably more expensive and always more obtrusive, and does not guarantee a better video! It takes both exceptional camera work by talented, experienced wedding videographer(s) and many hours of creative post-production editing to produce beautiful award-winning wedding video DVD's. One talented veteran award-winning professional wedding video specialist will always do a better job videotaping your wedding than 2 or more contracted "camera operators" who may have little or no experience videotaping weddings! With the exception of a few additional camera angles at the wedding ceremony, the only real benefit of paying considerably more for additional camerapersons goes to the video company salespersons and/or company owner(s) who often pay freelance camera operators very low hourly wages while charging substantial "extra camera fees" to their clients. I encourage and invite you to make an appointment with me to see why I won nine international wedding video awards working alone with only one primary and/or occasionally one other "fixed position" unattended video camcorder! Most couples who meet with and hire me often have already visited with one or more other professional videographers including some who were charging thousands of dollars more for a lesser product! If you are one of those couples who are still shopping for but haven't yet found a videographer whose work and prices impressed you, I encourage you to include me on your "videographer's to see list".

To better serve my videography clients, I videotape only one wedding per weekend! This makes it possible for me to commit all of my time and attention to you including, attending your important wedding rehearsal, pre-wedding coverage at your home or other location, your entire wedding ceremony, and all important traditional reception events. I'm never "on a clock" and always arrive early and leave late. Most couples also choose to have me produce a highly entertaining video photomontage that I present at their wedding rehearsal dinner and/or reception cocktail hour. (See my Wedding Video Page to learn more).

If ever a single moment in your life was worth preserving, this is the one! A professional wedding video DVD is a valuable family Heirloom, a treasure that can be passed onto your children. Modern professional DVD videos give you, friends and family the opportunity to relive and enjoy the wonderful sights, sounds and emotions of your very special day for generations to come.

If you’re interested in learning more about my unique-in-the-industry wedding video DVD packages, please call or email me to schedule a casual but highly informative no-obligation consultation meeting in my home office/studio where I will also show you some recent examples of my award winning work in a comfortable home theater setting.. In addition, I will give you a comprehensive folder of wedding videography information and a complementary DVD to share with other family members and/or friends. . Again, thank you for your interest. Best wishes to both of you on your remaining wedding plans and may you have a lifetime of beautiful memories.

Sincerely,

William R. Desrochers
