First of all, my husband and I did not want a videographer for our wedding. We didn't want a lot of strangers there, being all invasive with jumbo cameras, and taking a cheesy wedding video that would make us misremember the magic of our wedding day. But, my mother insisted that we have one, so my sister shopped around on our behalf- and can I say that we are THRILLED that my sister found Mint Cinematography.
After viewing some of their sample films online and liking their work, my husband and I met up with Chris at a little coffee shop in Brooklyn and we talked all about what we did and did not want. And Chris was totally cool. He listened to us, and understood us. He wasn't pushy or cheesy or crazy wedding industrial complex aggressive, he was just a normal guy who likes to make films.
We wanted a smaller package, because again, NON invasive was our biggest concern, but we had a lot of performance elements in our wedding. So, promising that he would not be invasive at all, Chris offered to throw in a second videographer for a few hours to help capture some of the more complicated performances at no extra charge. He just wanted to make sure that he captured our wedding as accurately as possible. And Chris was totally true to his word, Zach (the second videographer) and Chris were so non invasive and they used such small cameras that most people at the wedding didn't even know that anyone was there filming at all!
But the best part is that both the trailer and the feature length films that Chris made for us were so perfect. They were artistically shot and edited and completely captured the essence of our wedding day. My husband and I were both blown away by the final product. Another great thing is that the films captured a lot of details that our photographers missed, and vice versa. So it is really fun to have more than one professional perspective to capture all of the meaningful details of your wedding day.
We LOVE our wedding videos that Mint made. Working with Chris was easy and enjoyable from our first meeting to when we got our DVD's and external hard drive in the mail, which is such a breath of fresh air considering how stressful planning and throwing a wedding can be.
