So, so, SO happy that we hired Orig Media to create our wedding video.
3 weeks before our wedding, I decided that we need a wedding video, and that I'd kick myself for not getting one. It was something I'd talked myself out of from a cost st...andpoint....until I saw my friend's video and the beautiful memories captured.
Some frantic Googling ensued, resulting in some painfully cheesy video options (twirling on the beach in slow motion, awkward adoring looks, etc) and some so-so options as well. We talked to one other vendor that made us feel a bit uncomfortable and pushed...and then we got on the phone with Orig Media.
They made us comfortable from the first conversation. We had some members of the family that weren't thrilled with the idea of being filmed - Orig put them at ease.
On our wedding day, Mike and Jeff showed up either on time or a bit early, which was awesome, and for the rest of the day, proceeded to have a ton of fun with us while simultaneously disappearing into the background. I barely noticed that they were there.
Mike went with my husband and his friends on a paddleboarding adventure, while Jeff hung out with the ladies getting their hair and makeup done. From start to finish, they were just fantastic.
So now I can say this - being filmed is not awkward if the videographers are experts, super light and quick on their feet, and you barely notice their presence.
Our final video was delivered quickly, well within the promised time frame, and we also received our discs with a cute "Aloha" message written on the box.
We love our video and are proud to share it with loved ones. It's fun, light, sweet, loving, and captures our hilarious and awesome crew of friends and family perfectly.
