H: Hm. Hey, you know, we should consider a videographer...

Early on in our planning process we visited the prospect of hiring a videographer to record our ceremony. Because we didn't want anything particularly fancy, it was another one of those "perhaps-we-could-DIY it" things that later turned into "that's-not-very-practical-since-we-don't-want-to-do-it-and-don't-want-our-guests-to-either". We figured then that we could get a tri-pod and invest in a really nice camcorder, but then two things occurred to us:
1) we wouldn't use a camcorder after the wedding (but maybe I'll end up eating those words when we have kids...), and
2) sooooooooooooo much could go wrong with that scenario. The sound may not come out right, the camera may still have the lens cap on, the batteries could go dead, or worse; we may miss something very important.
No, in the end we were nervous enough about it to determine that this was another one of those special somethings best left to the people who know exactly what they're doing. So we went hunting (on Amazing Photographer Jessica's preferred vendors list...) and found Cael and Deana at Reel to Real Productions. I emailed, and almost immediately Deana emailed me back (which was fantastic!)
We met the next evening, sampled their work, and then got down to business. Josh and I were aiming for Package A, which would only capture the ceremony itself which is the most important thing to us. We were quite content with that, until Deana mentioned that they'd be happy to add on to the package since they'd be there anyway and they would also be happy to work with our budget. Then we were surprised and elated. So we shall now get the ceremony AND the formal dances! Very cool :-)
So last night we dropped by again, this time with signed contract and check in hand and made it official. And we're in cinematic business!
