This review has been a long time coming. Vinny and the whole Imperial Productions team has got to be one of our most favorite vendors to work with! After doing extensive research online and meeting with other videographers that we knew just wouldn't work out for us, it was so refreshing to come across Imperial Productions. After looking through their sample work on their website/blog, I knew we had to meet with them...and when we did, we were highly impressed! They are very prompt and professional and have such a positive and enthusiastic energy. They love what they do and are so passionate about it and it is truly reflected in their work. Vinny and Ivan were so friendly and made us feel really comfortable. Not once did they try to pressure us into hiring them unlike other videographers that we met with. They let their work speak for itself! And for the high quality work and services that they offer, they were also the most reasonably-priced out of all the videographers we met with.

Upon hiring them, most of our communication was through email and Vinny was always so prompt to respond to my neverending questions. The package we chose included 3 videographers, but on the day of the wedding they actually came with a 4th videographer who was an "intern" learning the ropes and helping out. This was great for us because an extra pair of hands and an extra video angle meant more coverage=) Vinny and the team arrived promptly, even a little earlier than expected at both mine and my "now husband's" house in order to get more footage of the wedding preparations. They were so much fun to work with and our whole bridal party loved them! Our guests even noticed that they were everywhere trying to get every shot and angle that they needed but yet were never intrusive and always maintained their professionalism.

Our package also included the "Same Day Edit" option in which they did a short edit of the events of the day (from the preparation to the beginning of the reception) and then showed it at our dinner reception. Oh my goodness my husband and I were completely blown away!! They did a phenomenal job and watching it brought tears to my eyes!! It was like watching a movie of our wedding....beautifully edited and very high quality. To this day our guests continue to rave about it and cannot forget about the "Same Day Edit". We are so excited to get our video....we know that it is going to be sensational! By the way, the only reason why we don't have our video yet is completely our fault....we're still working on sending the songs to Vinny who has been so patient with us. I'll be sure to write an update once we receive and watch it, but there is no doubt in my mind that we will love it =)

Our wedding was on May 29, 2010 and I've been meaning to write this review ever since=) When the hair and make-up artist that I had planned on hiring for my wedding ended up being booked for the day, I went into a complete panic mode! I'm very picky about who does my hair and make-up and wasn't sure how I would find someone else that I could trust to take care of me on my wedding day. I immediately began my search online and found Penney through the "A-List Makeup" website...and was glad that I did!

From the first email sent to the wedding day, Penney was an absolute joy to work with! She is very professional and very talented! After doing my trial session, I knew instantly that I wanted to hire her. She is so friendly and has such a wonderful personality and makes you feel so comfortable. She listens to your needs and opinions and makes it happen....she won't stop until you are completely happy and satisfied. She sent me an email of great tips prior to the wedding day on how to take care of my skin and hair which I thought was very nice and helpful. Penney had great suggestions and was always very patient with my many questions.

On the day of the wedding, Penney brought a team of 4 other ladies with her and they did the hair & make-up for myself and my 7 bridesmaids/matrons, both the mother of the bride and groom, 2 sponsors, and 2 little girls (flower girl and jr. bridesmaid). They arrived early to set-up and finished all the ladies in time....and EVERYONE's hair and make-up looked beautiful.

Penney worked on only a couple of the ladies and then focused solely on me. I loved how she did my make-up...it wasn't at all too heavy or "cakey" and it was definitely not the kind of make-up where the bride looks drastically different. I wanted to look like "a better me, but still me"...and she totally nailed it! Both my hair and make-up lasted throughout the night and she even gave me a "touch-up" kit that included the lipstick color she used, lipliner, q-tips, and blotting tissues. Penney is truly amazing at what she does and I will not hesitate to recommend her to future brides or anyone who needs their hair and make-up done. Oh and to top it off, her prices are very reasonable for the services that she provides! Thank you Penney and your team for getting me and bridal party "beautified" for my wedding=) Looking forward to working with you again for our "Trash the Dress" photoshoot!
