I had booked Pete's fiancé (Meg Courtney) for our "enchanted elopement" photos. My friend had mentioned that Pete does videos. At first, I was thinking eh, I don't really need a videographer or more still photos...until I found out what made him special. He does drone footage! I tried to research about drone videos/photos and if it's worth it but there wasn't much out there about it. That intrigued me because I'm thinking -- hey, we are gonna be on this beautiful island and the aerial shots and video will allow us to relive it over and over again.
So, we did end up going with Pete for some still photos and a minute video (enough to allow the folks who weren't there to see our enchanted nuptial!) It was so worth it! Both Meg & Pete were the best decision we ever made when it came to our elopement. Pete was so nice and laid back -- must be from his southern side. Did not pressure us into doing anything that we weren't comfortable with. He was even nice enough to hold my heavy floral bouquet! He has been living there for quite some time now so he was able to capture the island beautifully. He knew what works and what doesn't. We just walked around Ke'e Beach aimlessly, and it was awesome!
Now the results -- AMAZING! Once again, I am in the film & tv industry. All my colleagues were blown away by how beautiful the aerial shots were and the video was edited smoothly! The quality of the footage was flawless! With the aerial shots, I was worried that he would get other ppl in it, but luckily, they blended in and we couldn't even tell. He had the photos and video to us within less than 2 weeks -- and I know for sure he had other events he was working. Most people wait MONTHS.
So for all you engaged folks who wants something different and memorable -- Pete is the guy! read more
