Domenic and his staff did an AMAZING job in both accommodating our Video needs and making the guests of our wedding feel welcome and part of something special! The montages were an added bonus, expertly edited where the timing of the musical transitions matched the tempo of what was being recorded. It was amazing to relive the moments! Christy and I would recommend Alesca Media to anyone, anytime, anywhere! Thank you Domenic for capturing all of our amazing memories which we will enjoy for a lifetime! Love, Christy and Steve

I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Alesca Productions for my wedding day. Domenic was awesome to work with, captured the entire wedding and was completely unobtrusive the entire time!!

Working with Domenic from Alesca Video was a pleasure. He was amazing. I had a hard time with my photographer and he stepped up and helped a ton which he did not have to do. I couldn't have asked for better service. Our video was a hit!!! With not just my husband and myself but our family and friends. Alesca Video was one of the best investments of wedding. I'm using them again for my sisters wedding. Highly recommend!

We worked with Alesca Video for our wedding on July 16th 2011..Domenic could not have been more accommodating or have done a better job. He worked very hard on a hot summer day in order to capture all of the awesome moments, yet he was not intrusive and we barely even noticed that he was there! I would highly recommend using Alesca...they created a fantastic video portrayal of our wedding that my wife just said the other day was "irreplaceable". Thanks guys! -Andrew Snyder Wappingers Falls, NY

Domenic did an amazing job on our video. We couldn't be happier! He was very professional and was on top of everything (even making sure my husband was wearing his jacket for the second dance)

My husband and I were married on May 27th in New York City. We knew we wanted to have a video to capture all the moments of the day, and had seen work that Domenic had done for friends in the past. From the first time we met with Dom we knew we were in good hands. He was very professional and helpful and even gave us two very important connections, our DJ and day of wedding planner. He was knowledgable and eager to answer any questions we had. We saw a wedding video and signed the contract that night. We ordered both a photo montage, to be shown at the wedding (pictures of our childhood, family+friends, couple pics) and a video. Both came out awesome and we are still getting feedback about how personable our photo montage was. Dom was so easy to work with and had good advice when it came to music and timing of things. Honestly, I did not even know that Dom and his assistant (sorry I forgot your name) were taping the wedding...they were hidden within our guests and not intrusive at all. We received our wedding video within a month after the wedding and were so happy with it...I've watched in 3 times already!! And Dom mailed us 2 additional copies for both our families, another major bonus! I would highly recommend Domenic and his crew at Alesca for your next big event. Our wedding video and photo montage were professionally done and the memories we have will last for a lifetime! Thanks so much Dom :)

Domenic and his crew were wonderful every step of the way! Our HD video looks great, we are very pleased.

Absolutely amazing! Professional and fun. Alesca video captured all the unseen special moments of the night. They captured on film our special day. They were unobtrusive and yet captured it all!

Alesca Video was great, reasonably priced and very professional. The video was even better then my pictures! Domenic did an amazing job of capturing memories on video that will last a lifetime.

I used Alesca Video Productions for my brother's wedding and they were great. They were there on time, very professional, friendly with everyone and a lot of patience. Domenic always available to answer all of our questions/requests, very responsive. Final results was a great quality video and quality photos. I'll definitely use them again in the future and recommend them to everyone.

Domenic from Alesca Video did us the honor of being our wedding videographer!! From start to finish, we felt as though Domenic knew us and understood our needs. He was understanding, patient, and professional. We are so pleased with the finished product - and with how fast we received our video! Domenic captured the magic of our special day, and thanks to him, we'll be able to relive those wonderful moments for many years to come. Domenic got to know us in a short time and created a wedding video that reflected us and our style. Affordable, friendly, and honest. We couldn't have asked for anything more! Anyone looking for this service should contact Alesca Video!!

Alesca Video Productions was a dream to work with! They are very professional and very caring. There is no doubt in my mind that they truly want to capture your most special day in the most gorgeous way possible. With the economy the way it is, I was scared that I would have to settle for a budget videographer and less than quality work. But Alesca worked with us to put together a package that fit our needs and our wallets! Domenic was an absolute joy to work with! He was supportive throughout the entire process: prior to the wedding, during the event, and even after! The final video arrived in a timely manner and it was better than I ever expected! My husband and I were blown away! The editing and attention to detail was phenomenal! If you book with Alesca (which I strongly recommend that you do), definitely opt for the Dance Montage and a bit of special effects; you will not be disappointed! I ordered copies for my parents and they can't stop watching it! If I'm ever in that area again, I wouldn't hesitate to use Alesca Video for future events. Give them a call and see what they can do for your special day. Trust me, you won't regret it.

I only wish I could give Alesca Video Productions more than 5 out of 5 as Domenic went above and beyond anything we could have expected for our wedding. We organised our wedding in New York from overseas (we are based in the UK/Germany) and met with Domenic when we came out to New York in October. At this point we were not sure if we were going to have a video as we only had 25 guests (including us) so didn’t know if a video would be too intrusive, Domenic put our minds at rest and gave us some great ideas so we decided to go ahead. With regards to being intrusive this couldn’t of been further from the truth and we hardly realised we were being filmed (except when Dominic won the speeches sweepstake)! We were married on the Saturday and expected to receive a copy of the recap/video in the post when we returned to the UK. To our surprise Domenic visited us at our hotel before we left New York to hand delivered copies to us to ensure we got them in person. We watched the recap before we left for the airport, which had me in tears (in a good way)! Domenic put together the perfect memory of the day, choose the perfect song for the recap and captured everything we wanted. A true professional Domenic and Anthony definitely went the extra mile and a half to make sure this is a day we will never forget. We would recommend to anyone to use Alesca for any special occasion, I only wish we could afford to fly them over to cover our UK party, however we spent too much putting on a free bar at the wedding :-) Nikki and Will Fossey (UK/Germany)

Dominic at Alesca Video Productions did a great job on our wedding day. He met with us approximately 5 months before the day and talked about the services he could offer etc. We were planning our wedding in the US from an overseas location and Dominic kept in touch with us consistently via email. His efforts on the day produced a wedding video and recap which brought tears to our eyes when we first watched it.. He captured the atmosphere of the wedding perfectly. On top of a great video he & his team worked hard over a two day period to finalise the DVD so that before we left the US he could put the copies in our hands.. it was excellent that we could watch this prior to leaving for our flight and the speed at which Dominic turned around the DVD was truly amazing. We would definitely recommend Dominic to any future Brides/Grooms.

We were really skeptical at first about getting a videographer, but we are soo glad we did! These guys were great, we didn't even see them at the wedding or the reception and the final video was amazing!

Alesca video was our favorite vendor at our wedding! they strive for 110% quality and have excellent customer service! I would recommend them to anyone. It was nice to have a custom video made the way we wanted. A friend referred them to me and boy was i glad i listened to them! Quality, cost, ontime, up to date with technology and polite

Alesca Video Productions was the best vendor choice we made! I had to convince my then fiance to allow for a videographer in our budget. After meeting with Domenic and seeing some of his work, my fiance was then all for the video. It is almost our one year anniversary and we are looking forward to watching our video again. Our families and friends love watching it, and we have received so many compliments on the work (Thank you Domenic!). Many people decide not to budget for a videographer...big mistake! Since the wedding we have lost some loved ones who now live on in our video. We also had family that could not make the travel due to illness, and lived there final days watching our video because it gave them so much joy and comfort seeing how happy everyone one. Alesca Productions is a MUST for your wedding memories!!

Hi Domenic, I just wanted to let you know that the wedding video was truly amazing. My family and I watched it on Christmas day and it was the best present I received. Thank you so much for doing such a great job and getting it out to us so soon. Everything you filmed was perfect from the ceremony, to the cake cutting, to the dancing. I really enjoyed watching this video, and it will be something I will treasure for the rest of my life and I am so thankful to you for that. You were professional and just a pleasure to work with. Thanks again for everything you've done. You will come highly recommended to everyone I speak with.

WOW!! Great work you brought us back to that special evening. I really liked the editing you did in the recap. The whole presentation is 100% professional, from the packaging to the menu screen to the video itself. You captured everything and neither Nikki nor I ever saw you the whole evening, you definitely have a knack for being in the right place to capture the shot. Thank you again for working on our wedding video, we will recommend you to everyone, better yet we will show them our awesome video.

Quick to respond, answered all questions and did a fabulous job video taping the wedding and used great techniques when using photo images and video techniques! very unique and creative!

Highly recommend.

Alesca Video Productions did an amazing job with my wedding video. From the day of the wedding all through the editing process I was always kept in the loop and felt like all my wishes were taken seriously and to heart. The video itself came out beautifully and I love watching it and remembering our big day. I would greatly recomend Alesca to all my friends and know they would have the same wonderful experience we had.

Alesca Video Productions is an excellent company to work with. They are very professional and can accommodate your requests based on your needs. It was a pleasure having them help us for our wedding!

I would say to just make sure you know what you want, exactly; and communicate with your videographer to make sure you are both on the same page. If you are on a budget, as we were, talk to your vidoegrapher to see if you can come to a fair price that makes you both happy. Dominic was very helpful in this area. He suggested things we could do and things we didn't have to do to cut costs. Our video is AWESOME! One would never know we were on a budget! Thanks again, Dom!!

Alesca Studios was wonderful to work with. Quality product and very professional crew.

Alesca Video truly made my wedding special. They were there for me when I needed questions answered, very professional and kept my tastes in mind for the final product. My wedding memories on video is the same as i remember it. Their creativity and advise was always welcomed with fantastic taste! you can't go wrong with Alesca. They think of everything, and will capture every moment of your dream wedding!

We just got our video last week and we were AMAZED it took us right back to our wedding day. Dom did such an a wonderful job capturing the whole day. The whole day we didn't even know he was there. Right after the ceremony, Dom came over to my husband and I he congratulated us and said that's the last word you will hear from me all night. At first I thought it was a little odd, I wouldn't have phased me if he anyone, forgetting that anything he says would be on video lol. From that moment on we had no idea he was there. The quality of the video was great our whole family loves it! Thank you so much for working with us and make our wedding day a day we can never forget!!!!

Dominic was a pure professional since the moment we meet. Alseca has different packages to suit many different needs. He was total unobtrusive & there till the very end! Can't wait to see the final product!

Domenic delivered what he initially promised. Thank you for making my daughter's wedding memorable.

Alesca was great to work with although our wedding video was extremely late in being delivered within the time frame given in the contract!!

Alesca Video Productions did a wonderful job at my wedding! They stayed behind the scenes but caught all our special moments incredibly well! I would highly recommend Alesca Productions!

I cannot fathom how Domenic/Alesca Productions has such a good rating on this site. My experience with this company was absolutely atrocious! I would recommend brides to stay as far from this company as possible. My wedding was six months ago and I am STILL going through a mess with this videographer! This will be long, but the truth needs to be put out there! 1- We were promised that the videographer would arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony to set up and that the groom would be given a wireless mic so that all the words of the ceremony would be captured. However, the videographer showed up only FIVE MINUTES before I walked down the aisle! And since he was so late, no microphone was given to the groom. Also, most likely to due to his lateness, the camera was obviously not set up or calibrated correctly because the picture quality of our video is horrendous, but more on that later. 2- I requested that our first dance, and father-daughter dance, be filmed in full from the front because they were choreographed. However, the videographer decided to capture the dances from the side and slightly behind us, so although they were captured in full, the angle is a bit odd. Oh, and I almost spun into the camera at one point because he was next to us, rather than in front of us. We contacted Domenic about this and the microphone issue, but he said that the ceremony could be heard and that the dances look great (even though he said he didn’t have in his notes anywhere that I wanted them filmed from the front. Um, it’s not my fault he didn’t write it down!) Since he said the ceremony could be heard, I decided the angle of the dances wasn’t a big deal, and waited to receive the video. 3- When we received the video, the picture quality of the entire video was absolutely horrendous and completely unacceptable! It was very blurry/out of focus, not the high-res/HD quality that we expected. It was washed out - almost like there was a white film over everything or like it was overexposed - making the colors duller than they should be. Facial features of the people walking down the aisle couldn’t be seen, they were just blurry flesh-colored circles until they got close to the camera, and even then the details were hard to make out. The worst issue was that every time the camera moved from side to side, the image got really distorted and there were 4-5 horizontal lines cutting across the video (kind of like when you fast-forward a VHS tape while it plays)! It looked like it came from a cell phone camera rather than professional video equipment! We were appalled. 4- We contacted Domenic to tell him about the quality and this was his response (direct quote from my email): “Yes you are correct we focused so much attention on the parts of the video that had you concerned that we did not watch it once it was output.” WHAT?! My previous concerns were a lack of microphone and the angle at which the dances were captured – these are things that can’t be changed/fixed after the fact, especially not to the detriment of the image quality! Such excuses are completely unacceptable. What videographer doesn't take enough pride in their work to even look at the final product?! Not just that, but such a horrendous image quality should be immediately obvious to a professional in the process of editing the video. So anyway, he says that the issue was a “de-interlacing issue” and that he will fix it and send another one.. 5- We receive the second video, and with the exception of a very slight improvement in the horizontal lines, it is the EXACT SAME HORRIBLE VIDEO! Still blurry, still washed out, still has the lines across it… UGH! So we contact him again, tell him how upset we are and how we are thinking of disputing the charges with our credit card company, and he says that it’s a problem with some software upgrade that causes more problems than it fixes and that since he has the raw footage he will re-edit it with the older, “better” software. I decide to give him one last chance and wait for the third video… 6- The third video arrives and, although it is a bit better, it is still not at a level that anyone would ever associate with a professional. It is obvious that the problem is with how the footage was filmed (ie – the guy was late and didn’t set up the camera correctly). Domenic tried to fool us by adding a prettier menu, and a short 3-minute recap (which was actually supposed to be included with the video from the very beginning and it somehow got left out of both the first and second videos). But making the Intro and menu prettier doesn’t fix the image quality problem. Third strike, I’m done. 7- I emailed Domenic to express our severe disappointment and request a refund. He then has the audacity to ask for the video to be returned to him! Um, no. He may have done an awful job, but given the choice between having a crappy video and having no video, I still want the crappy video. So we disputed the charges with our credit card company. He is now trying to refuse the dispute and it looks like we will end up somewhere in the middle – getting about half our money refunded for our trouble. This dispute process is still going on though, and I have a feeling he will try to argue against giving us any of the money back. Moral of the story – Alesca Productions is an AWFUL video company! Do NOT trust them to capture your special day! We sincerely regret our decision to hire them. We were originally going to ask a friend to take video for us, and that is what we should have done. We have some clips from friends, taken with a personal, non-professional video camera, that blows Alseca’s picture quality out of the water! I am trying to figure out how to upload clips from both videos (friend and Alesca) to Youtube so that the difference can be seen side-by-side. It is pretty awful when a hand-held camera does an obviously better job than a hired professional. If I ever figure out how to do this, I will update this review. I hope this review saves at least one bride/couple the disappointment that my husband and I experienced with Alesca Productions...
