Candlelite video- it's the best!

Wow, it has been a really long time since I've posted on here. I got married on 9/8 at Lands End and pretty much spend at least an hour a day on this site the last four months before I got married! Things are going well. My husband finally finished his last 5 thank you's (do you believe it?!) and we're almost done picking out our album-- beautiful pictures from Patken (Steve was the photographer).

Yesterday we received our video from Candlelite and it was absolutely incredible! We took a long time to finally give them our pictures, but once we did, they did a great job! They even helped us get it a little sooner because my grandma is sick and she was unable to make it to the wedding. Not knowing how much longer she'll be here, we wanted her to see it ASAP.

Everyone I talked to at Candlelite was great and professional. If you haven't chosen a videographer, I would definitely make an appointment with them and check out one of their demo tapes. My wedding video looks just like it!! You can even buy a mini version that lasts 10 minutes- perfect for showing your friends!

I had originally looked at Wild Rose and Imagine Studios. Both we nice, but I liked the price and quality of Candlelite the best. It was very classy-- I asked for no animation-- and it has black and white segments and even a 2nd videographer who filmed my Mom while my Dad and I danced! It was so emotional!

The best thing- I didn't even know they were there! The camera was so tiny and so unobtrusive.

I know I'm bragging about them and it probably sounds like I work with them, but anyone who has been on this site knows I'm a real bride!!!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped me before and after my wedding... especially to all my Aruba advice givers!!

I used Candlelite and feel the same way! I love my DVD and cry every time I watch it!

How much was your video guy? If you do not mind me asking..as of right now I do not have one booked. But if the price is right, maybe..

I'm using Candlelite too (cousin used them, video was great). Did you do their new edit package (Bijou?)

I sent you a forum e-mail with the Candlelite prices.

I used Candlelite in September and didn't know of the Bijou editing package then. I signed my contract with them in January 2002 and they had three packages:
VIP
Zenith
Celebrity

Have a good day!

Re: Sanmik

I am so happy to hear this!!

We used Candelight also and we should be getting our video sometime next month. Now I really can't wait.

I agree 100% that everyone is an absolute pleasure to deal with and I think I saw the videographer 2 during the day (when he introduced himself and when he said good night).
