About

A Fairytale Come True and Under Budget
Carol's multi-camera coverage and subtle style are the perfect solution when all you want is a beautiful memory on a tight budget. She uses remote cameras to get all the angles at the ceremony. This means her prices are lower than her competitors because she believes everyone should be able to afford a great video - not just the rich. Her set-up enables her to move in and out of the smallest of venues. Her system even works well for Orthodox Jewish weddings where small cameras are attached to the Chuppah for a great unobtrusive view. Does a film school degree mean anything to you? Do 13 years of business longevity inspire your respect? She's been employed by some great companies over the years including: Walt Disney Imagineering, PAX TV, Warner Brothers and the City of Burbank PIO. Look at her work, please. You can afford a really nice video!

Reviews of Fairytale Filmmaking By Carol

The quality and contents of our wedding video far exceeded our expectations. The style of filming and editing was absolutely spectacular. Not only have we enjoyed and cherished our movie for the past ten years, we are proud to share it with our family and friends. It is beautiful, sentimental and heartwarming. Carol has subsequently filmed weddings for two of our friends, and has done photo montages and milestone birthday parties for us both. We love her work! Annette & Steve Barder

Hiring Carol was one of my BEST decisions related to the wedding. She was professional, discreet, knowledgeable of her craft, and went above and beyond. We love watching our wedding video on our anniversary.

But....

Let me give you an example of her "above and beyond". About 30 minutes before the ceremony we discovered our florist forgot an ENTIRE bridesmaid bouquet. People were scrambling and panicked. Nervous friends delivered the bad news as I was about to walk down the isle. I just shrugged my shoulders...what could be done? I was bummed but...it wasn't catastrophic. But while we were discussing the error another friend ran in and declared breathlessly, "NEVERMIND! The videographer just made a bouquet." We just stood there. She what?

Carol overheard the chaos, put down her equipment, and picked wild roses around the property and MADE an impromptu bouquet. I'm still not exactly sure how she managed to do this so quickly. When looking at photos...we still can't determine what one was hers!

She jumped in, assisted, and then quietly got back to her post. THAT is customer service, people. Carol is easy to work with, direct and provides high quality results. It's always a pleasure to recommend her services.

Carol was an absolute pleasure to work with and a master with a video camera. My wife and I were amazed at how the final product came out. Carol went way above and beyond our expectations when it came to editing, sound quality and the general flow of the movie. With very little direction from my wife or myself, Carol has given us and our entire family a way to relive this wonderful day for years to come.

Thanks so much

Carol is very knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. We are more than pleased with her work and the results. After only month and a half after our wedding we had our video! She is easy to work with, flexible, and responds promptly. We would definitely recommend her. We look forward to working with her on future family events.

Carol Dorman of Fairytale Filmmaking is a professional in not only her ability to film a perfect video but she also presents herself in the utmost of mannerizm and dignity. Her product is well thought out and intergrated with tasteful music excerpts and scenery to produce an outstanding final result.
Carol vidotaped my father-in-law's funeral from service to buriel and I can truly say that her video taping has changed my view on funeral taping.

Everbody, myself included, is privledged to have hired Carol Dorman for our video filming and she has my full recommendation.

Carol is amazing, she is very talented. I just picked up my wedding video last week after returning from my Honeymoon. I watched it right away and was so thrilled that Carol was able to capture all the details from multiple angles. I was able to hear everything clearly as she had our pastor wear a lapel microphone. She is personable, professional and great at what she does. If you want to capture your special day on film to share with family and cherish forever then you definitely want to book Carol. Pricing is competitive and she offers something for every budget, well worth the investment. If you want entertainment industry quality and to be worry free on your wedding day, trust me and contact Fairytale Filmmaking by Carol to preserve your fairytale for a lifetime.

Carol was easy to work with. She was polite, flexible and friendly. On the wedding day, she was basically invisible. I was amazed that she got such good footage without being intrusive. Our church had very strict policies about vendors running about during the service, so they loved her! I got lots of happy comments about what a respectful videographer she was.
She was also creative and took her own initiative. In the time between the ceremony and when we arrived at the reception, she interviewed people. My grandmother died a few months after our wedding, so we choked up when we saw the video and there were a couple of minutes of just my grandmother telling Carol how happy she was. It was such a nice segment and made the video all the more special and emotional for us.
Our reception fell behind schedule, but Carol stayed beyond the agreed-upon time to make sure she got all of the key events.
I was very, very happy with my video (well, DVD actually). With all of the stress that planning a wedding can create, it was so nice to have someone who made the process as easy as possible. I liked her and I trusted her, and I would definitely recommend her.

We had a tight budget for planning our wedding and hadn't planned on having a vidoegrapher at all until a friend of ours referred us to Carol's website. She is absolutely the BEST VALUE without compromising quality. We just celebrated our one year anniversary and were so thankful to be able to watch our wedding DVD and relive our wedding day. I have referred several friends in the past year!! Thanks Carol!!
