I have a meeting with pennylane today! Am I crazy?

So...I already booked a videographer over a year ago. Don't get me wrong, I like the ppl I booked...but when I saw pennylane's work, it blew me away. I was hoping they wouldn't have my date available on such short notice...but they did, so I HAD to meet with them. I will lose my $500 deposit if I book with them, not to mention that they are twice the price of my original video guy...but...there is something about them. Am I crazy?? A year ago, video wasn't that important to me, photo was. I didn't really give much thought to the video...I booked the best of what I saw and was happy with that. Now I realize that it is really important, especially with a large amount of family in the philippines that is not able to come. My mom was upset with me....I just wanted to know if I'm totally nuts???

my gosh - if u can swing it then GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!! i am so upset i only heard of Pennylane AFTER our wedding(and its a good thing 'cause DH probably woulda went nuts if i begged to spend that much mula!) lol. but for real - their stuff is amazing....their videos with the voice overs & such are unlike any videos i've ever seen. I'd just make sure of the price with all the special stuff they do - 'cause if u have to just go with a basic video it may not be worth it??? All i know is that I can't stop looking at their website & i was married almost a year ago....DH thinks i'm crazy!

haha ME TOO!! that's the problem...we actually ended up booking them. The voice over package is the platinum package...but FH doesn't like the idea of doing interviews...so we didn't add that in for now...Adam said we can always add it tho...I do LOVE them...but it doubled my video budget!!

i used pennylane; adam was amazing!!!!!!! i cannot wait to get my video back! i booked him on the spot after going to his website and seeing his sample videos. i sat at my computer and cried while watching them. i knew that this was who i wanted to use. money was not an issue at that
point, because this is something that will last forever.. his work is amazing; it is so unique. i didnt even know he was at the wedding; he was standing up on chairs to get every point of the wedding!! so i say if you can afford it, go for it!!!!!! and tell him michelel and anthony say hello from june 16 flowerfield wedding!

I am so excited to work with him!! Even though it's extra $$$...I think it's worth it!! Now I'm more excited about the video than the photo!

Re: I have a meeting with pennylane today! Am I crazy?

I think you need to step back and ask yourself how many times you're realistically going to watch your video after you are married and then decide. Some people are home movie freaks and will watch them regularly. I didn't even get a video b/c I knew I'd never watch it and wouldn't want to watch it. I don't regret that decision at all. However, this is ME and we're talking about you. A video is clearly pretty important to you. Now you need to determine how important it is to you. Just try to envision it from the perspective of your wedding being over and your honeymoon being over. (Trust me, I'm way less interested in wedding stuff now that it's over -- and it's a good feeling, lol)

If you know you're a home movie buff and it means a lot to you (and you can afford it), then go with your gut.

i dont think you r nuts. i would do the same thing. sometimes you have to bite the bullet. otherwise you might totally regret it. a few hundres dollars is def worth the amazing memories you will have if you go with the 'right' company!!

GO FOR ITTTT!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I have a meeting with pennylane today! Am I crazy?

Thanks girls for all the advice!! I ended up booking with pennylane bc Adam was amazing and I really like their work. We were able to get a little $$ off so that I'm not losing me entire deposit...so that helped...I'm happy with the decision tho bc I think they'll do a great job. Do I think i'll watch the video a lot...probably not...but we have a lot of family over seas that isn't coming and we want to be able to show them our wedding and I think pennylane will do an awesome job of that!!

Its great to her my MOH's speech again, and to hear it word for word, i remembered it but not word for word lol. Plus i got to see alot that i missed. For me i would also love for my kids to see it

I feel the same way!! Which package did u guys book? We got the 2 camera gold with the bride getting ready and the trailer. We MIGHT upgrade to the platinum later, but I don't think so. I love the 2 cameras and watching ppl's reactions to the vows and to the first dance...I was crying watching other ppl's, I can't imagine how i'll feel with mine!! Adam does such a nice job with capturing the emotion of the event. Originally, I hated wedding videos...I thought the were boring...until I saw adam's work...AMAZING!

I also did the 2 camera gold but i told adam to expect me to upgrade to the platinum lol especially since the extras you get with the platinum all comes after the wedding, i did it to ease fh's mind lol. I saw some interviews which made me cry so much lol. Yeah when i saw their videos i was like WOW plus you have trailers to look at which arent long at all and will be great to even just see that here and there

well its mostly the interviews, and i think maybe 1 additional disc....yes im going to get the trailer...the good thing is that you dont pay half of the bill until after the wedding.
