Wedding video in New York City is a special breed. That's not to say that it's superior - there is some marvelous work throughout the country - but it's just different. It's a cross-section of veterans and beginners tinged with a hint of indie film, inspired by students making a living and the film industry in general out here. Even going across the river to groups focusing on wedding video in New Jersey, and you have a slightly different feel. What it comes down to is that there is a huge amount of choice, whether you want film or video, documentary or artistic, it's there. And yet, for all that, I overheard someone asking a bride the other day, "you don't want a wedding video, do you?" I know exactly what she meant when she said that. No, I don't imagine she did want a tacky piece of nostalgia that cheapens her wedding, and I guess this is a bit of a defense of my industry in my city, but there's more to it than that. Try it. Wedding video isn't what it used to be.
