Delack Media Group far exceeded my expectations!!! When we first laid out a budget for our wedding we decided that a videographer wasn't necessary. I have an uncle who was going to shoot our wedding on his camcorder for us. BUT after seeing the awesome work that Delack Media Group did on Scott and Angela's wedding (see the trailer on the blog - it's awesome!) I immediately moved things around and hired Delack Media Group! I tell everyone... it was hands down the best decision I made in the entire planning process! Here's why...
- During the planning process, Nathan (the owner) returned every phone call and email within 12 hours. It NEVER took longer than that. He also asked very detailed questions the week before so he wouldn't miss anything on our wedding day, which made me feel very at ease.
- On the day of our wedding, the crew was ready to go and began shooting as soon as we walked out of our car. They were very punctual and polite, but also extremely focused.
- While getting ready and throughout the entire wedding day, I never felt like I had to pose or do anything. I actually forgot they were there most of the day. When we got our final video back, I was amazed at some of the footage he was able to get, because I had no idea he was even in the room!
- CAMERA ANGLES! Nathan and his assistant were masters at catching great camera angles! They were down on the floor, on a little cart, up, everywhere. It made for an awesome final video.
- He knows what brides love. Nathan, the owner, is getting married this year (2010) himself. He knows about the hard work we put in to make our special day beautiful, and oh does he capture that beauty! His video only showed what I wanted it to - the beautiful, flawless, perfect wedding that I thought it to be, full of details and those brief, touching moments.
- The TRAILER! If you're going to book Nathan, add on a trailer if it isn't included. It was so fun for my husband and I, and the rest of our family, friends and guests, to see a 4-minute video of our wedding set to music only days after.
- The final product. Seriously, I felt like our wedding was made into a Hollywood movie! The entire thing was set to a great selection of music that really captured the day. The opening menu is amazing, and it features the different events of that day, our trailer, each of the speeches that were made, and so much more. My jaw about hit the floor as I watched. It was amazing! The DVD also came in a beautiful black leather case with a magnetic closing, with spaces for two pictures. Our copy was packaged in a hat box with a thank you note, movie theatre snacks (popcorn, dots, etc) and a package of kleenex. It was just perfect! We bought additional copies for our parents and grandparents as gifts and they loved them.
The point of this huge long review is that if you want the best, Delack Media is the best. I cannot tell you how many of my soon-to-be-Mrs. friends have made the decision to hire a videographer after seeing the work that he did with our wedding. After my experience with Delack Media Group, I cannot believe that I considered spending the money on anything else, when the video is what you'll have to remember your day with. Our wedding felt like a blur, so it was so fun to be able to actually SEE and ENJOY everything I had worked so hard on.
Thank you Delack Media Group for helping capture our memories!
