About

I created this website as a dedication to my wedding videography business. I enjoy working weddings (obvi), meeting the couples, following them throughout their big day, and getting the best shots I can to capture special moments of their day.

I started working weddings in 2009, shooting my first for a couple on a string budget, and me with a newly purchased DV camera I bought off ebay. It went really well, the run & gun style to the day kept me on my toes, yet to this day the bride & I are still friends on Facebook. Now, many years later, many camera & equipment upgrades later, I’m still here. Doing it. And that’s more than I can say for alot of wedding videographers and photographers. It’s hard work, and a different style to it, and the customer service and sales end to it can be time consuming. On the other hand it’s interesting coming into these couples lives, for the biggest day of their life, meeting and interacting with them, then poof!, never hearing much from them ever again.

Rather than simply mention that I shoot weddings, I wanted to create an all encompassing website dedicated not just to my wedding videography services, but also one that touches on multiple subjects, from planning, advice, do’s & don’t, and suggestions, as well as honest recommendations, not just people paying me to give a rec on my blog (trust me, I've been solicited by others asking me to do so)..

Amazing Experience

Dave was great to work with. He was very punctual, responsive, friendly and overall a great guy. He took his time to communicate everything with us and also walked us through the entire process while shooting a Save the Date video. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for any of my needs. Awesome vendor!!

Dave was absolutely fantastic. My wife and I hired Dave shortly after our first meeting, and we have not regretted it. My only regret is that it took me so long to write my review (I thought I did a few months ago). Dave worked hard to determine what we wanted from him, and he was willing to be flexible with our schedule as needed. He worked beautifully with our photographer, in an almost symbiotic way. When we received our teaser video and highlights video we were over the top. We finally watched our full video, after almost 6 months of marriage, and could not believe how great it turned out, and how Dave captured the essence of our wedding day. If I could do it all over again, Dave would definitely be part of the team!

Having a videographer was somewhat of an afterthought for us, but we are so happy that we did and even happier that we went with Dave. He is very professional and his work was great; I would recommend him to anyone a million times over.

We initially reached out to Dave because his prices were competitive. As soon as we spoke to him, we liked him. He was responsive, extremely easy to deal with and just had a very good energy. What I really appreciated was that HE was the one to reach out to me a few weeks before the wedding (when you're connecting with all your vendors to finalize details) to talk about the final timeline and make sure that he had everything that he and I needed. Adding to that, he asked for our photographers information and spoke with her in advance of the wedding so that he could establish a line of communication (this was a very nice move when you realize how closely they operate on your wedding day).

On the actual wedding day, he was exactly what you hope for, plus more. He was professional, showed up extra early, etc. His energy was a huge plus - he is very warm and has a calmness to him and just has a nice presence (which is great as he is basically attending your wedding).

The professionalism continued well after the wedding. We received several emails from Dave with status updates of our teaser and final edits, as well as a note to thank us for allowing him to be part of our day. We recently received the final product and we LOVE it!! He is an expert, knows what he is doing, captured amazing memories and did it tastefully.

Dave was great to work with. Gave us a highlight trailer which my friends and family loved, and the DVD and USB stick. Which included basically everything throughout the day. So great to see everything again as our wedding day went by in a flash.

I am SO GLAD we hired Dave to film our wedding! Dave was just what you'd expect from a professional and more - he was early to our wedding, super responsive to emails during planning, and even took the time to understand our wedding style and capture it the way we'd wanted. It also never felt like there was a camera in our faces, Dave was great at capturing the important moments without interrupting and he still captured everything. He also sent the DVD with an adorable custom burlap case with our names on it and it even matched our rustic wedding them. He offers such incredible value! Can't recommend him enough!!!

Loved the DVD! Dave was great to have at our wedding yet captured all the details and things I didn't see (or forgot!). What I loved most was how the entire day was captured, from the timeline of events, to each setting and the venue, to all the details of the dress, the earrings, the setup of the tables etc. And seeing our guests dancing was a blast to watch.

Our wedding video was perfect. He made sure to capture the greatest moments of the wedding and now I have those moments forever to cherish.

If there was a space to put 6 stars I would! I cannot express enough how wonderful Dave was and how I would recommend him for a big event/wedding. My husband and I had a sizable wedding in Philadelphia at the impressive & beautiful Racquet Club of Philadelphia. The space was huge and their were tons of people and Dave managed to capture it all. My photographer was over an hour late and showed up with excuses and a story about not feeling well, every bride's nightmare. Dave kept me calm and captured things that would otherwise have been lost if not for his video camera lens. His calm & friendly demeanor was not only appreciated but necessary in the situation we were in. He was fast, organized and ready for any shot/location we threw at him. I cannot express enough how professional and skilled he is. He took the time to understand my expectations prior to the big day and showed up early and ready to go the morning of. He followed up days after the wedding to see how I was doing after the mishap with the photog. He is a stand up guy that does great work...hire him for your big event ;)
