I had my dream wedding at the Waterfront Hilton in Huntington Beach, CA. When it came to planning my wedding I had a lot of unknowns as far as putting it all together, but there were two things I did know that I wanted and was dead set on them! One, was to be married at the Waterfront Hilton (which was AMAZING), and two, that I wanted a videographer that would capture every part of the most important day of my life. Overwhelmed with all the possible options when it came to choosing a videographer and obviously scared of choosing incorrectly due to the horror stories you hear, I decided to stick with researching the Hilton's suggested vendors list. I looked up the different videographers on the list and watched their snip its showcasing what they could do and I found my attention was immediately captured by Parallel Media Productions. Their style of filming/editing seemed high quality and authentic, meaning not cheesy, forced, or "Hollywood" which was what so many of the other videographer snip its were like. Some were difficult to watch they were so cheesy and unnatural. It was a no brainer for me as far as choosing Parallel Media Productions, especially when my mom and I discovered how easy Cathy was to communicate with. She worked with my mom and I and was so friendly and warm.
Finally my big day arrived and Cathy and her crew arrived to my suite on time and got right to business getting all the key shots and lots of candid footage of all the prewedding hoopla with my bridesmaids and with the groomsmen.
After what was the most beautiful wedding I could have imagined for myself, I realized it was over in a flash and I only hoped that my special day that was filled with a wonderful ceremony, speeches, dancing and the whole ambience of my reception room would be captured in the video.WOW, did Parallel ever deliver!!!!! Cathy first sent us a short condensed version of our over an hour video and in all honesty if that was all I would have received I would have been ecstatic! It was phenomenal and brought tears to mine and my family's eyes when we saw it!! I knew that our full length video was going to be excellent......ANNND IT WAS!!! I feel forever grateful that I was able to have Parallel Media Productions film my wedding. They captured every important detail of the day, the whole ceremony, all the speeches and footage that allowed my family and I to relive the best day of my life!!! The editing was excellent and the sequential flow of the video was perfect. Getting to select my favorite songs for the video was icing on the cake, and our Blu Ray cover was personalized with pictures of the wedding. I brag about what a wonderful job Parallel Media Productions did any chance I get. I would recommend Parallel to every bride who wants to have a beautiful video of their big day. I'm thankful to have this day on video so I can watch and remember the day I married my best friend. read more
