We had our wedding (ceremony and reception) at Westbury Manor (Westbury, NY) in January and Daniel from Sweet Pea Studios was our videographer and he did a great job. After contacting him we had several email conversations (and an in person meeting) outlining the type of video work he does and what my husband and I were looking for in our video. Daniel said that he could accommodate many different styles, but we personally were looking for an elegant, documentary style video and were not interested in flashy special effects. Daniel always responded to e-mails in a very timely manner. Also, we appreciated that he offered opinions and insight in a professional and respectful way
On the day of the wedding Daniel was on time, acted professionally and was a pleasure to work with. He worked with the photographers (Duet Photography who was also excellent) and they all seemed to be able to get the shots they needed while not being invasive at all. Daniel had told us ahead of time that there were some specific shots that he would want to get which we were on board with, most of these shots were taken care of with just my husband and I such as the two of us dancing alone in the ballroom before during cocktail hour before the reception began and at no time did we feel like we were taken out of the day to create a moment it was really much more of him just capturing what was going on. For the most part, Daniel just did his own thing in the background and we didnt even know he was there.
After getting our professional pictures to Daniel, he quickly sent us our video. I have to say we almost didnt get a video because we didnt know if we could fit it into our budget but after seeing the video we are so happy that we got it. It definitely exceeded our expectations. Each chapter takes you through a different part of the day and some are more traditional (me getting ready with my mother & bridesmaids set to classical music, a montage of the entire day set to Alicia Keyes), some are more of a straight view of events (the ceremony itself) and some are definitely more artistic which we loved (a clip of me getting my makeup done to jazz, a fast-paced run through of the formal pictures with the edges of the reel showing which is one of my favorite parts, a montage of the dancing at the reception to a U2 song) overall we were thrilled with how easy it was to work with Daniel and with the excellent quality and vibe of the final product. We will definitely be recommending Sweat Pea Studios in the future.
