Videographer- Zac from Alliance Video
Alliance Video was referred as one of the top suggested choices by the wedding coordinator at my wedding venue. I trusted Katlyn Mogavero’s judgment through the whole process so I would go to each vendor... site and browse. I also looked at the top choices promoted by The Knot and The Wedding Wire. Alliance’s sample videos stood out to me above all the other videographer sites. Through Alliance, I also found my photographers who they have partnered with for years.
Tom is the owner of Alliance and Zac was my onsite videographer. Both men were so communicative before hand and made me very comfortable. Alliance could not have been more on the ball. I have no doubt I chose the best videographing company. Tom is nice and comfortable to be around. You can tell he is a pro. I think wedding videography is a very specific niche and Alliance has experienced videographers. He watches and makes videos while moments are going on. But, he also guides the whole process so I’m not wondering what is next. If he sees a shot he wants to get, he asks for a quick pause.
Zac and the photographers, Ambar & Eddie Moreno, worked together so we felt so comfortable and the process felt smooth. I filled out a quick online questionnaire so Alliance new the specifics of the day. Then we had a phone interview to tell them what I liked and didn’t like. Then we set a schedule that we coordinated with the photographers. This gave me the full timeline of the day. We did a first look, so getting ready started early. This really worked for me since it freed up my time after the ceremony to get straight to cocktail hour and start having fun.
I never felt I was being pulled in 2 directions since they all worked so well.
Their prices trumped the competitors, which I think is what most brides on a budget need. I believe I got the most value for what I spent. Alliance provides just videography packages, but I felt the best deal was the combo pack with Ambar Moreno Photography. They have 2 packages and let you customize. I also had the option to pay more if I asked the videographer to stay longer if I felt like we needed more footage. That flexibility made me feel comforted.
I also liked that Alliance had shot many beach weddings in the town and specific venue, The Grand Hotel of Cape May, where mine was. Being familiar with the area made me know there wouldn’t be too many hiccups or wasted time getting to the ideal shooting locations. As a bonus, they have aerial footage of the beach and outside of my venue they can splice in and I think that saves me a little money since I didn’t pay for the drone.
I won’t have the final product for a few months, but I’m confident it will be wonderful. I’ll update my review when the time comes.
