Re-cap of our wedding (video)

One of the things about our wedding that to this day we are so happy about is our wedding video. We were planning our wedding from Florida so we were looking online for photographers in the Schenectady/Albany area. We came across Moak's website and LOVED their work. They sent us a wedding DVD that they had done so we could see more of their work. We were sitting there about ready to cry over the wedding video of this couple we didn't even know because they had done such a good job. So, we actually had our videographer before a photographer. Not only were Brian and Jennifer Moak great at what they did but they were a SUPER nice couple. They (at the time) worked out of their house and I believe did videography on the side. They talked to you enough to kind of get to know you and what type of video best fit your wedding and personalities. If you live in NY and you ever have occasion to need videography, they do a fabulous job! (Though I believe Donny Straight has the same software and talent now to do the same type of thing) We were/are so happy with our whole movie. The nice thing though is that they also do a short recap of the day that they post on their website for you to see even before they finish the whole DVD. It is then included as one of the chapters on your DVD. Some of you have seen the recap but I thought the rest of you might enjoy seeing it. It is about 2-3 minutes long and might take a minute or two to load. Kevin helped me upload the movie to Adobe, then he edited it down to just the 3-minute recap. We actually tried posting the clip to youtube because we thought that would be the easist way. However, Kevin started uploading it around 5:00 Wednesday evening. When I came out to my computer at 10:00 this morning, it was still uploading with no indication of where in the process it was. On a whim, I decided to try a couple other ways of loading it to blogger and have had much better success. Smilebox has worked best for me so far. It only took a couple of minutes for the clip to load to Smilebox and then maybe 15 minutes for it to load from Smilebox to blogger. So... I think that is the version you are going to get to see. Sorry about the "bikini bumps" ad if that's the one that happens to pop up when you watch the video. That's what you get when you are too cheap to pay the $3.99 for the service WITHOUT the ads! :)

I have encountered both (Tylenol and anti-Bikini bump) needless to say, the anti bump on is the funniest to me.
