Hi girls… I’ve been alittle MIA – hard to log on from work but I just needed to VENT alittle. I am sooooo made at our videoographer. We figured it would be easier and safer to use the same company as our photographer and thought everything would come out prefect and we would be sooo happy…well not really. We got our video 2 weeks ago and have had nothing but issues..it wont play on our DVD player. We had to watch it on my parents computer. The recap is amazing …came out great but when it cut to our ceremony, it looks like another person did it......I have the video guy snapping at the photographer to move out of the way, him zooming in at the priest during the gospel except he got the back of my bridesmaid head – never changed position just kept camera there…I know she has beautiful blond hair but really and to top it off…my SIL did a reading (pray of the faithful) and I just spoke to them…it was never recorded!!! I am sooo upset I have no idea what to do. I told my DH he needs to call the photo studio and talk with the owner or the video place and speak with them because I am going to lose it. The people at the video place said she would see what they could do about the editing.
They need to do something for us. These are our memories for the rest of our lives.
SORRY SO LONG!!!! Juts I needed to vent and get it out and I knew my LIW girls would support me!!

Can you ask for the raw footage and take it to another editor? I'm so sorry that you're upset. It is definitely a humongous disappointment. Maybe the new editor can use a photo montage of the reader at the ceremony and dubb in her voice reading the passage. There's definitely a way to make it work for you...you'll just need to be a bit assertive and professional when you ask for it. If they don't comply...FM me. My husband does this work all the time and can really work with you to get the video you want and need. Good Luck though.....

Eeeks sorry to hear about it. I agree with the above (raw footage) that is what I had requested when I signed our contract just in case the video stunk, but we were lucky it's perfect. I would just call and ask to meet with the manager (i think a one to one convo will be more useful in your situation) don't get all nuts on the guy just explain what is the issue (bring your video) and ask how can it be resolved.
I am sure they will be willing to work it out with you.
