Re: Bellarino-candlelite video

I don't have the prices with me at work, but I can post tomorrow about Candlelite. I'm excited about their work, but my FI and I decided not to include animations. I thought they did the best editing work, they were very professional, and the camera is smaller than all the other cameras I've seen.

I am using Candletite Video. I am getting the middle package which is $1895.

It includes two cameras at the church, one at the reception. Parents get a video each and you get 2 videos too. They are very nice people and from what I've heard the camera is very small you cant even tell that he's there.

Hi 2003wedding
I am using Candlelite also for my wedding. I am getting the $1500 package. Their video quality and animation were the best that I viewed compared to others, I liked who I met, and I have read only positive reviews about them.

videographers

I will have to e-mail you price comparisons later, but I met with Wild Rose, Candlelight, and Platinum video. You really can't go wrong with either one. Platinum video offers a different style and actually my FI liked him best. He puts the video to music such as Enya and offers a sort of documentary style approach to the video. The photographer definitely has an artistic eye, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. As for Wild Rose, they're very nice, but I met at their house and with them moving, their kids in the other room, etc., it was difficult for us to make a decision without being distracted. We were looking for more of a professional place (not to say they're not professional working from their house). Their work was good, but I enjoyed the video of Lands End from Candlelight the most. Just be sure to let them know where you're getting married so you can see a video of your reception site! It's so much fun!

Re: videographers

I am still not understanding why Bellarino is so much cheaper, are they comprable to WIld ROse, Candlelite or Platinum?

2003wedding...

I'm sorry but I can't remember the names of the videography companies that I met with, it was so long ago. I can tell you that none of them were Wild Rose, Platinum, or Bellarino. I didn't go to see many because my FI and I were very satisfied with Candlelite and they were recommended by John Anthony's. Good luck!

Prices

I thought I had the info for Wild Rose and Platinum, but I don't have them anymore. I'm getting the middle package for Candlelite (same as the one listed above for $1895).
