Here is our latest music video.  This wedding was filmed on the island of Sannibel…right on the beach.  It was absolutely gorgeus.  Andy and Alicia had the picture perfect beach wedding.  We wish them all the best in their journey together.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all!!!

Their wedding was filmed in HD, which you can watch here, on Vimeo.

Max and Inna- best wishes to the both of you, and thanks again for inviting us to be a part of your wedding!

A good start would be to ask other brides/grooms.  Start with the ones you know and then consider joining web forums to get more opinions.  You can also ask videographers for a list of their recent brides you can contact.  It is important to cosider each opinion, whether they got professional services or not.

When you talk to recent brides they will most likely overflow with information about their wedding and the services they had.  Here is a list of some questions to ask recent brides:

• If you had to pick between photography or videography, which would you choose?
• Why did you choose to have professional videography?
• How did you find your videographer?
• If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently about your videography arrangements (if anything)?
• Were there any particular things you had in mind when shopping around for videography?
• What differences did you see between different videographers as you interviewed them?
• What “lessons-learned” have you come up with concerning your wedding videography?
• Do you know of any recent brides that wouldn’t mind answering these same questions?

After talking to several people, you will already start to develope a good idea of what you need to be looking for.  This will give you a great start on your own search for professional wedding videography.

Viktor’s and Luda’s wedding was full of culture, beautiful decorations and great food.  See for yourself.

Until next time,

Speaking of South Carolina, here is a music video of a wedding we filmed there.  George is from Florida, Irina is from California, but they got married in SC.  Ahh..love really does bring people together.   They had a gorgeous wedding.  There were so many wonderful details, as you will see.

They are perfect for each other, aren’t they?  We all thought so…

This was a wedding we filmed in Atlanta, Georgia.  This video is only a small excerpt from the whole wedding- it’s the photo shoot.  While the photographers were doing their work we were behind the scenes, capturing all the beautiful smiles.  We couldn’t have asked for a nicer couple to work with.

You can see their official music video and more at the TouchDream blog.

Hope you liked it.  Comments are welcome, as always.

I don’t know about you but I love being inspired.  Even though we all love our jobs, once in a while we need to “renew that first love”, right?  That is why I love watching awesome wedding videos,  learning new techniques, moves, ideas, etc.  So as I was doing this, the other day, I came across a website who claimed to be the “best” videographers ever.  That made me think.

The claim could be well deserved.  However, words are cheap and a well advised seeker of any type of service will need to pursue the reasoning behind such a claim. But how does one proceed to verify such?

Client testimonials are valuable tools to use in evaluating the worth of a videographer in many respects.

Consider the task of finding a dentist. Not many people would be willing to submit their dental care to one simply found in the Yellow Pages who claims to be the best.  It would be more wise to seek those who have had a wide exposure to many dentists’ work  and gain a referral from them.

Generally speaking, it is wise to simply ignore claims to greatness but rather look for verifiable evidence to support notoriety.  Testimonials, quality of work, and the prices to match.

Here is what one satisfied customer had to say to us:

“Dear TouchDream,  Thank you so much for our wedding video, it was just amazing.  Our special day was captured in a way we never dreamed possible.  Now we have a gift that we can look back at and remember like it was yesterday.  After searching forever for the perfect videographer, we are so glad we found you.  Your care in detail was seen in every shot and the music video that captures all the highlights was exquisite.  We will highly recommend you to everyone we know.  Thanks again,  Gene and Zory”

And they did (recommend us)

Well, that’s it for today.  Have a good day, everyone!

I want to share a video with you today about something that takes place before anything “official” happens on your big day. You getting ready.  There is great value in having the time before your ceremony filmed.  For this, the team temporarily splits up. One videographer with the bride and one with the groom, to get their different perspectives on the time before their wedding.

This particular wedding took place in Ohio.  I absolutely love how different the two atmospheres are!  It really sets the mood for the rest of the story to unfold.  Go ahead and tell me what you think. We would love to hear from you.
