It all started back in 1985 when I was
a communications student at William Paterson
College, studying television, radio, and
film production. Back then, the equipment
consisted of the larger "tube"
cameras which hooked up to a portable recording
deck. The format was 3/4 inch videotape,
and film was slowly being taken over by
this "new" technology. Students
were permitted to sign on the weekends for
special projects.
At the time during my "extended"
senior year, a friend who I had grown up
with had a sister who was getting married.
So we came up with this great idea (it was
back then!): we'd videotape Joe and Natalie's
wedding. The rest is history!
 After
graduation, my roommate, who is now a successful
manager with IBM, came up with an even better
idea. We would start a small business videotaping
people's weddings. This great idea would
help pay off all the student loans we had
accumulated over the 4+ years we had spent
enjoying ourselves in college. So we both
invested 700 dollars and bought a video
camera, and we started taping friends' and
family members' parties and weddings. The
business grew, since many of our friends
were in the marriage stage of life.
In 1990 my partner and friend Richie decided
to concentrate on earning his Masters degree
in business, so I took over our company.
Since then, I have successfully created
over one thousand wedding videos for brides
and grooms throughout the Metropolitan area.
I have gained valuable experience and knowledge
by attending specialized seminars and workshops
for wedding videographers. These keep me
up to date with today's technology and various
styles of documenting the wedding day. I
currently belong to three organizations
for professional videographers.
If you would like a free, no pressure consultation
on creating the perfect wedding video, please
contact me at your convenience. I promise
to give you the same effort in making your
day perfect as I know YOU have put into
planning your most important day.
Sincerely,
John
