The One Regret of a Bride

I had an interesting experience filming a wedding a few days ago. After filming part of the luncheon I had a brief conversation with one of the the bride's cousins. She was thrilled that her cousin had hired a professional videographer, so I asked if she had hired a videographer when she had her wedding. She hadn't. I then couldn't help but asking if she now wished that she had. She immediately responded, "Yes! More than anything!"
The couple that I was filming was very energetic and fun work with. A few weeks prior to their ceremony, I filmed a pre-wedding segment which included interviews of family members and from the couple. Later I added a photo montage with the pictures they provided me. Normally brides don't ask for interviews with their photo montage to show at the reception, but I would highly recommend it as guests really seem to enjoy it. The wedding went very well, and it was pleasure to film for them.

Videographers Do More Than Just Weddings

Although videographers often market their services exclusively as “wedding videography,” most do much more than just weddings. We have worked on various projects, including videography for corporations, film productions, churches and local news. Many companies, including Gashler Films LLC, are contracted by corporations and other organizations to produce corporate training videos and even multimedia advertising. By keeping broad business plans, videography companies like us are on the forefront of the video production industry, improving techniques, communicating new ideas, and collaborating creatively with other industries. The videography business is becoming an increasingly competitive industry, which demands further specialization from companies in order to stay in business. Although we advertise mainly "wedding videography," a significant portion of our clients are working with us on other projects. We believe that working on various projects helps us keep our videos more original and less formulaic. Our goal is to create a unique, creative style; whether the project is a wedding video or a commercial film production, we realize that you have several other companies to go to, but only we can provide you the Gashler Films Style.
