My wedding was absolutely beautiful. Tony (David) did a wonderful job and my pictures are fantastic. We were scheduled to have our wedding outside, in a beautiful setting, but it rained. It was a nasty day, but Tony did an excellent job. We had no specific requests and when you see my wedding pictures, you cannot tell it was pouring outside. He captured every loving moment from beginning to end. He went above and beyond to make my wedding beautiful. We received an absolutely beautiful album and with all his hard work, the price was just right!!! You don't need to pay thousands of dollars to get quality and professionalism. Just hire DVS and you won't be sorry! Thanks Tony for everything!!!!

My husband and I are very pleased with how well David captured the emotion and setting of our wedding day. We had no specific requests, and yet somehow David was able to capture all of our special moments. We decided to get a videographer at the last minute, and we are so happy that we did. Moments that would have gone unnoticed we now have preserved for a lifetime thanks to David.
Our DVD is wonderful!

DVS did a fantastic job on our wedding DVD! Tony was excellent to work withvery professional, and also fun. We originally were not going to have a videographer due to budget constraints; however, DVS was highly recommended to us by my sister who had used them. They worked with our budget and allowed us to create our own package- can't say enough about how important that was!

The professionalism of our DVD is superior complete with a leather case and custom picture DVD cover. The DVD menu has a professional layout and a song we picked playing in the background.

By far my favorite part of our DVD is the introductory section capturing our portrait session with our family after the ceremony. Then Tony followed us throughout our couple portrait setting and put together a beautiful montage combining video and still images. He even went out of his way to purchase a special song that we wanted for this part of our DVD.

Tony captured the ceremony in its entirety and each and every single important moment throughout our reception!

DVS is a reputable company that I would highly recommend if you are looking for reliable service, an excellent finished product, and an affordable cost. We even had our finished DVD back to us within 8 weeks!

Additional Advice

Photography ~ more photographers equals more shot varieties which can capture the unexpected romantic moments. When hiring two photographers have one that specialzes in a journalistic style & one that does more traditional photos.

Videography ~ Unobtrusive! With today’s high tech equipment, videographers can discreetly document celebrations and allow guest to enjoy the party without the distraction or intrusion of camera equipment.

Wedding Insurance ~ remember the run-away-bride, be insured incase this or another natural disaster happens to you.
