Mark was great to work with. Planning from out of town he answered all my questions in a timely manner, no matter how much I bugged him, which was probably alot! lol
I met him the day of the wedding while we were waiting for the ceremony ...to start and he took a bunch of video of my girls and I preparing to walk down the aisle. I know I saw him and his assistant throughout the night but they made themselves seem almost invisible throughout the ceremony and the rest of the evening. They didn't seem invasive at all. :) I choose him because of his great reviews and quality of work on his website. It is almost a month since the wedding so I don't have the video in hand to assess the quality of work yet. That is one reason I gave him a 3 star rating on quality. The other reason is that he sent me a letter asking for me to mail him a cd of songs we would like on the movie, we need to contact our photographer to get pics sent over and he said it would take 14-16 weeks to complete the project.
Now I understand it takes hours to complete a project, I went to school for editing so I get that it takes time and he is probably working on other projects as well. It just bothers me that we spent so much money because he is the best and we need to do homework for him. I feel that he should have asked the DJ for our songs, and gotten our photographer's info so he can contact her and ask for the images, or when we talked over the phone he could have gotten all that information.
I might be getting a bit pickey, but for $3000 I don't think I should have to do homework. (and yes I understand that some people want their own flare and not just let him choose songs/pics to represent them on their dvd. this is just how I feel)
Overall Mark was very nice to work with and I would recommend him to anyone getting married. he is very knowledgeable and friendly. I am anxiously awaiting our video which I am sure will be a huge hit and if it is I will re-review this :)
