I am sorry it's taken so long to tell you this, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the video. I've watched it more than once and now my parents are coming into town so they are going to love seeing it too. So happy with it, and I loved the editing and the music. I really loved the 8mm feature, that made it seem so classic, preventing a feeling of being dated in the near future. Wonderful job!

Thank you!

Hi Haynal,

We used your company for our wedding on October 14, 2006. I've seen a lot of friends videos of their weddings, and nothing has come close to the professional, beautiful quality of what you all produced. I have told several friends getting married in the DC area to definitely use your company!

Thank you,

My husband and I want to thank you so much for the beautiful job Dolce did on our August 1st wedding video. You captured the happiest day of our lives. It is so fun to relive a day that flew by so fast!

We appreciate all of the hardwork of Jen and Rena. The raw footage and the final video are priceless! Thanks again!

Hi Haynal,

We were SO impressed with Stephanie and Caitlin on our Wedding Day. They were so easy to work with, and we hardly even noticed they were there once the party got rolling. Both of them were very pleasant and had a good sense of humor. We appreciated them staying the extra time so we could capture the horse and carriage at the end of the night; I know it was a long day for them, esp with the travel to Fredericksburg. Please send them our thank you's.

Thanks again for everything, we can't wait to see the finished product!!

It was such a pleasure to work with you for the Burns-Coleman wedding. I truly appreciate how flexible you were while working with Kate and Joe, as well as with us throughout the whole planning process. You are a major contribution to their perfect day.

I hope you had as much fun working with Kate and Joe and we did! Take care and know that Aimee and I are hoping to work with you again soon.

Best Wishes,

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into it, we loved it and it was a great representation of the day. There were so many moments we missed, and it was so wonderful to have them all captured on the video.

Thanks again.

I know it's been a little while, but I just wanted to let you know that I did receive the video of my wedding. I LOVE IT!! I seriously cried the first (and second) time I watched it! It was artistic, well-edited, and exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job, I couldn't be happier. I will definitely be recommending you guys to anyone I know getting married! Let me know if you want me to write all of this in a referral that you can use, I would be more than happy to!

Thanks again,

Hi Haynal and Kristina,

We just wanted to say thank you so much for the BEAUTIFUL job you did on the video. We love it! (And so do our parents.) Thanks so much for your time and dedication to an artistic and tasteful final product!

We will definitely recommend you to friends looking for a videography service.

It was so nice to work with you. Thanks again. Please pass our thanks on to Jen as well.

All the best,

You're awesome!!! Thank you!!! I can't wait to show my grandpa--he wasn't able to come and we're going to see him over Christmas.

I have to say, you and the rest of the Dolce team have just been fabulous. You really have terrific customer service. I was a bit nervous before the wedding when Haynal said that we weren't going to iron out details until the week of the wedding, and I was so organized ahead of time that I thought, "oh God, that's really last minute--will they be able to capture everything I want?" Looking back, I had NOTHING to worry about because you have all exceeded my expectations. And the best part is that your pricing was so very reasonable that I feel like I got a steal!! I hate to say it but I don't really feel the same way about my photographer for whom we spend a considerable sum. I had more communication and thought more planning had been done with them and there are so many important things that are missing--like good photos with my parents--the parents who paid the bill! What was just priceless is that Natasha was able to get a very special moment with my mom in the video and that really helped to make up for the void we have felt in the printed pictures. And many of the video shots were better than our pictures that I just wish I could make them into photos (the one in front of the Capitol for instance).

In the months since the wedding, I have been most impressed by how prompt you are to respond and especially how easily this fix was accomplished. I'm amazed at how perfectly you captured everything and really, without a whole lot of communication and certainly with zero stress!

I just had to thank you for all of that because I didn't want it to go un-noticed. We started watching the raw footage too and it is hysterically funny and just sweet and cute. I love that you see what was really being said during some of the shots set to music in the video--sometimes, it is totally not what you'd expect! :-) Does the raw footage cover the full ceremony too? I wasn't sure because we haven't seen any of that but I know that most of the ceremony was in the real video anyway. I wasn't sure if it came at the end of the raw footage since we haven't finished watching it so I was just curious.

Apologize for the long email--but I had to express my gratitude!

Our schedules finally permitted us time yesterday evening to watch the wedding video and the reviews are in-two thumbs up!! We were both very pleased with the final video, it was excellent camera work and editing. We thought it was very professional and polished, it is obvious you know what you are doing. And my wife is now very happy I talked her into having the wedding video made, it brought tears to her eyes as we watched it. Thanks for doing such a great job and making us look so good. If anyone asks us for a recommendation for a wedding videographer we will certainly highly recommend you.

I would like to let you know that Mo and I viewed the dvd of our wedding. Love it! Thanks so much. You did an excellent job in capturing the special and most hilarious dancing moments of our big day. We really like the music selection as well and look forward to sharing the dvd with family members and friends.

Thanks so much!

We received our wedding video and words can't express how beautiful it is. Natasha really captured all the important moments and your editing style is perfect. We loved it!

Thank you to you and Dolce Video for everything.

Oh my gosh Kristina, you did such an amazing job with our video! I just can't even begin to explain how great of a job you did! You got everything we wanted and just captured it all over again for us. I am so impressed! As I was watching, I was dancing along to the reception music and re-living the whole day. The sound was spectacular, your editing was fabulous and I absolutely love what you did with the honeymoon pictures...I am just speechless and grateful from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you so much, please give all my best to my shooters as well...you all made our dreams come true!! I couldn't be more happy with all of the hard work.

Haynal - you've got a great crew, you should be very proud!

Dear Haynal,

Thank you so much for working with us on our wedding video. Your flexibility in allowing us to upgrade only days before our wedding was outstanding! We're thrilled that we went the way we did. Kristina was excellent. We're looking forward to seeing the video.

Kate and Justin Marks

From Mike and Jennifer Campbell, May 11, 2007:

Dear Haynal,

Thank you so much for the beautiful video Dolce Video created from our May 6, 2006 wedding. Our shooters, Caitlin and Kristina, were so unobstructive, we were amazed when we saw the footage they captured.They definitely knew how to film without interrupting our guests' enjoyment.

And the video itself is just wonderful. Everyone, including both our parents, raved about the quality of the editing. It's a video with that something extra that makes it easy, enjoyable, and fun to watch even a year later. We're so incredibily glad we invested in this video, it's absolutely priceless. Thanks again!

Hello,

We received our package on Valentine's Day. How sweet! Haha. The DVD is absolutely amazing and wonderful. Thank you so much for all your time and effort to help us preserve the sweet memory of our wedding day. The video will last for generations and bring us happy memories for years to come.

We will definitely recommend Dolce Video to all of our friends getting married.

Again, thanks a lot!

Hi Kristina,

We absolutely loved our video! The dim lighting at Matisse combined with rain made our wedding difficult to document in photos and video... I loved the fact that Natasha was able to capture images that photographs didn't do justice. My husband and I felt that the look and feel of the video matched our mood perfectly! The interviews were faded black around the edges - talk about fitting the mood...perfect! I also really enjoyed the fact that the video included a second look at our images along with one of our favorite songs - without even having to use a rewind button! Nice touch!

By the way - I did rewind the video many, many times in one sitting (smile)! My compliments to a wonderful team!

Hi -

Caroline and I just got our wedding DVD and I would just like to say it was the best money we spent with regard to the entire wedding day! You did an awesome job and the video turned out amazing. Just wanted again to say thanks for everything and we'll be sure to recommend your services to all our friends.

From Gigi and Daniel Grimm, December 28, 2006:

Hi Natasha,

This is Luisa (Gigi) Romero and Daniel Grimm and you were the videographer for our wedding on October 13th. Laura Jones was the editor and we received the product last week.

We are absolutely thrilled with the video and cannot thank you enough for the beautiful footage you took!! It came out better than we even expected! Out of all my vendors from that day, we can truly say that the money we spent on Dolce Video was well worth it!

If you ever need a referral, please feel free to use us. You are amazing! THANK YOU again and again.

With warmest regards,

Gigi and Daniel Grimm

From Alda Finn, December 16, 2006:

My daughter's wedding video arrived last week. I am so upset! The video is too beautiful. Last night I got up in the middle of the night just to watch it. I have been late to work several mornings because I couldn't resist watching it right up until the beautiful montage at the end. I brought it over our friends' house on Saturday night so we could watch it on their big screen TV. Soon I will have no friends. This weekend, when I should have been shopping, wrapping, baking, decorating, etc., I spent hours watching the unedited footage. It looks like Christmas might be on hold, too.

Thank you so very much! It was spectacular- a work of art!

We just wanted to thank you so very much for our wedding video. We received it in the mail on Saturday and watched it that night (actually, we watched it 2 times that night and again on Sunday...haha). The video is absolutely incredible and we are so happy that we chose Dolce to capture our wedding.

Thank you so much for everything!

We just finished watching our wedding video and are at a loss for words. What a beautiful job you did filming and editing our wedding video! You captured all the details that made up our day and put them together in a gorgeous video that we will treasure forever. We know what hard work went into making it, so Thank You so much!

Having Dolce Video film our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. The whole time watching the edited version and raw footage we kept saying, "Wow - we are so glad to have this to remember our day!" We would not hesitate to recommend Dolce Video to other couples. Thanks again!

Dear Haynal,

I just wanted to let you know that Caitlin was wonderful before and during the wedding. I am not sure if you hear about the wedding dress, but it actually had creases when I took it out of the bag to put on for the wedding! Caitlin and the photographers actually helped me iron the dress!! I was soooo grateful, as my bridesmaids were nervous messes running around getting dressed and doing make-up. Also, throughout the evening both videographers were discrete and professional. I would like to write Caitlin a thank you letter. Should I just send it to the dolce address? I wish you all the best!

Thank you,

Kristin Geary

Dear Haynal,

This is a very belated but still enthusiastic official thank you for a wonderful wedding video. My mother-in-law has watched her copy at least 4 times and says, "Each time I see something new! It's fabulous!"

Stephanie, our shooter, had a great attitude and was so professional. Thank goodness she was there, as she absolutely captured the key moments and because we did not have a professional photographer beyond the ceremony. Stephanie was our only source of dancing coverage - she happened to capture some great scenes.

Please send me two more copies...

Dear Haynal,

Matt and I wanted to express how thrilled we were with the wedding video. We were impressed with the entire experience of working with Dolce Video... from our first conversation to the final product.

Our video surpassed our expectations and brought all of the emotion of October 8th back.

November 28, 2005:

Dear Haynal,

Dolce did a phenomenal job!! We were blown away by the footage and editing work. The attention to detail was amazing--you wouldn't believe how excited I was when I saw the shot of the church's stained glass window pane of husband and wife!! You really captured our personalities and the character of our families. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful keepsake. We will certainly relive the joy and happiness (and laughs) of our wedding day with your work of art. We appreciate your dedication to this project!

Take care,

Jenny and Chris Huller

Dear Haynal and the Dolce Video Team,

Thank you so much for providing us with fabulous videography during our wedding. Though we were apprehensive, because we do not like to be on video, we were able to relax because you were all so professional and discreet. Thank you for helping to make our day so memorable and for allowing us to relive our special moments.

Naomi and Mike

Arnold Gonzalez, Oct 11, 2004:

We are extremely delighted with our wedding DVD! We wondered how 45 minutes could capture a 9-hour day, but your many hours of time-consuming editing and dedication culminated in an artistic representation of one of the most unforgettable days in our lives.

The classical music choices are excellent. Who knew they were the same as our harpist's repertoire? We are additionally grateful you were able to honor our request and use "Looking for a Boy" and "La Vie en Rose" as background music during the montages. These songs played during our First Dance and Parent Dance, respectively, and in all honesty, we felt like we were watching a romantic movie!

We would also like to thank Stephanie and Ralston, our videographers for the day. Their strategic positions coupled with zoom-ins and -outs, angles, and panning captured the expression and emotion of our entourage and guests as well as the visual intricacy of the clothing and decorations. Ralston offered calming words to combat the inclement weather. Stephanie's quiet demeanor gave us the confidence she was highly committed to high quality coverage.

All of you have been exceptionally friendly and cordial during this whole experience. We will gladly recommend you to our friends, family, and anyone else in need of a cinematic documentary of their event.

We are very grateful for this exciting, elegant, and unique memento we will cherish forever!

Thank you,

Leilanie and Sir Arnold

From Jane Broadwater, July 23, 2004:

We received our wedding video last night and of course watched it right away (haven't watched the raw footage yet though). We were certainly expecting a very nice remembrance of our special day, but we didn't expect to be absolutely blown away by it and that's exactly what happened.

I didn't cry the whole day (very close at the toast, but no spillage!) but I was teary eyed almost the whole time watching the DVD. Not only was it a very professional job compiling hours of tape and editing it to a manageable length, but it was beautifully done, and included things we truly wanted such as shots of the White House and the outside of the hotel, all the family members, and music selections that were tasteful and appropriate. We would also like to commend you on your creative ideas such as interviewing family members as they left the reception and getting shots of Ken and his family pulling up to the hotel (things I/we didn't see).

You captured the essence of the day which was all about love and family and we can't thank you enough for doing such an extroadinarily beautiful job. Please feel free to use us as references in the future as we are completely sold on your talents and abilities and would love to spread the word to other people wanting a one of a kind memento of a monumental day in their lives.

Thank you again and please take care,

Jane E. Broadwater
