19 Oct Future Brides, I Hope You “Get It”!

I had the good fortune yesterday to speak with a bride on the phone about wedding films.  She called me because she was interested in a specific kind of wedding video.  I asked her what she was looking for and she told me that she called me because I offered something different than the “long, boring” wedding video.  I smiled when she said this and we then continued to talk about her ideas for her own wedding film.  We had a great conversation.  I told her that I always enjoy speaking with brides who “get it” and who understand the difference between the “long, boring” wedding video and a wedding feature film.

After our call, I started thinking about those brides who think that they do not want a wedding film for their own wedding.  I can’t help but think that it’s because these brides think that all that is out there is the long and boring wedding video.  I truly believe that if those brides would take a few minutes to see what modern wedding filmmaking is all about, they would place a high value on the wedding film.

Please be one of those brides who “gets it”.  Your children and grandchildren are going to LOVE watching your wedding film!
