First Dance Pictures

I could not possibly be more pleased with our decision to choose First Dance Pictures as our videographer!! They were absolutely incredible!!! In fact, in the car on the way to the hotel on our wedding night one of the first things I said to my new husband was "do you know what was one of the best investments??" and guess what he said "the videographer!" and he read my mind!! Not only were they wonderful leading up to the day making me so comfortable in their abilities, answering all my crazy questions, and even helping to make other wedding decisions, then on the day of they helped keep everything organized and they were the person we went to to help us run the evening. I have no idea how we would have gotten through the reception without them running things. A lot of people told me that I would never watch the wedding video and hiring a videographer was a waste of money but I could not disagree more! My mother even thought we should have saved that money for something else, but the first time I saw her after the wedding she said she was wrong and that she also thought First Dance Pictures was the best investment we made throughout the entire wedding planning process!! And that's saying something!!! Literally as soon as the wedding was over I was already dying to see the video! I've already watched it several times and every time it leaves me feeling not only happy, but truly joyful! I am SO grateful that we hired Bill and Deanna to capture the special memories of this important day. The details of the day go by in such a blur and I can't imagine not having the video to go back and re-live those special moments. I am so grateful to be able to re-hear what our minister said, the music, and the toasts. As the bride you are the last to enter the ceremony and the first to leave...you will want to see those other moments and you will want to be reminded of all the details that made your day so magical. Bill and Deanna made the process so easy and gave us a beautiful film that we will treasure forever! Thank you so much!!!

Bill and Deanna did such a fantastic job! They gave me a great picture of the what to expect for my wedding and how everything was going to work. They also went above and beyond what their duties were to help with any logistics of the day and assure that everything would run smoothly. I remember that after our initial meeting, my husband and I were so excited about having them as our videographer and when the day came and went, our high expectations were upheld. They met with me after to show some clips of the wedding and I was so grateful for the finished product. They really tried to show a variety of everything going on at the wedding and I got to see all the fun things going on around me that I had not been able to see on the big day since I was so busy. My husband and I loved watching the video and have done so over and over again as a pick-me-up after a hard day at work. Bill and Deanna are excellent at incorporating what the bride and groom what out of the video. They go out of their way to get to know the couple. My advice for future brides and grooms would be to be open, tell them what you want in your video and what kind of wedding day you are hoping it will be. Bill and Deanna will make sure that every special details turns out just how you want it.

Bill and Deanna were the antitheses of wedding vendors that often treat couples like just another "client." Bill and Deanna were professional, engaging and above all else they understood that our wedding was OUR day. They provided support and recommendations while artfully disappearing so that their coverage blended into the day without intrusion. Bill and Deanna assisted in our ability to relive our special day whenever we want to privately or in the company of family and friends and we thank them for that.

Bill & Deanna of First Dance Pictures are the best! They are incredibly knowledgeable, professional & talented in what they do, and super easy to work with to boot! They are down to earth, flexible & friendly-- and I cannot remember a time that Bill didn't pick up his phone and make himself widely available to answer all of my questions or just to chat & ease my anxieties regarding hiring a videographer.My fiancee & I were hesistant to pay the money and afraid that having people film the wedding would make us even more nervous. I'll tell you what, we never even noticed they were there! We saw Deanna filiming once, and chatted briefly with Bill on a walk to take some photos later during the reception... that's it...and they captured everything! And now that we have our wedding video in hand, we would not have done anything differently. We greatly appreciate the quality of work they gave us-- they worked tirelessly all day at our wedding to make sure everything was setup correctly (including helping setup our reception video montage which was not something they had to do!) & to catch every moment. The wedding DVD arrived timely 3 weeks later wrapped in a beautiful case with our photo on the cover, and included footage of us getting ready, ceremony, reception, a "highlights" clip of the entire day, and they even added our reception video montage (clips of each of us growing up) onto it. Watching your wedding on video is so different that pictures -- the sounds of our voices, our parents laughter, smiles from our flower girl on camera-- it's amazing. We will treasure our wedding video for years to come, and cannot wait to share it with our children someday. Thank You Bill & Deanna - YOU ROCK!!

First Dance Pictures did an AMAZING job shooting my wedding. They are very personable and professional and budget friendly. We shot a love story with them that they debuted during our wedding reception and it was a hit!!! Our guests loved it!!! When my husband and I watched our wedding video we were in awe. They captured every special moment and we are so grateful for that. I will definitely be using them again for my parents 50th birthday parties. Thanks again Bill and Deanna

Truly a MUST HAVE!! These people have so much talent, It's not even right! Our wedding day felt like a dream the next morning and we could barely piece together the day until we saw our video!What a great memory! Everyone (some I didn't even know) were brought to tears after seeing our highlights clip. Absolutely amazing and more than I could ask for and better than I could have imagined! I would recommend First Dance Pictures to anyone! Thanks guys!

All I can say is wow! Bill and Deanna have re-invented what a wedding video is all about. They took the time to truly get to know us as a couple and then came up with unique ideas to capture that into video. They used music that was important to us and filmed a history of how we met and got engaged. They also created a movie trailer that was so captivating that I couldn't wait to see the final product. Their professionalism and commitment to us was above and beyond expectations. Bill and Deanna don't just set up a camera and hit record. They use a number of different cameras (including a best man and maid-of-honor cam) allowing for multiple angles and to ensure nothing is missed. When all is edited together, you have a professional, movie quality video that is entertaining and a joy to watch and share with others. There is no question in my mind, if you want to capture this moment, you MUST choose First Dance Pictures. Now I just need to figure out what next event I can use them for.

Bill and Deanna were great to work with and are both very easy going! They hands down had the best responsiveness out of ALL of our vendors (from the beginning through video delivery). We absolutely love our video and it is such a great keepsake. The DVD is great; the editing is fantastic and the picture is very clear! We love our video!! I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or family.
