Re: Another one for video

We've experienced this more and more lately - one recently told us that her friend (who referred her to us) had convinced her to do spend less on pics and invest in a video/DVD b/c she (the former bride) watched and appreciated her video waaaay more than her pics.
I love when brides tell us they haven't picked up their albums yet b/c they don't care or haven't gotten around to it. "I have the video and the proofs - I almost don't care about the album." My response is: "SPREAD THE WORD!"
I like to agree with potential brides and say something like, "Proofs are great b/c they are portable and you can hang enlargments on your wall - but your video fills in the gaps - with sound, with music, with your voices... Video tells the WHOLE story." And think about it, if you come home from a busy day and you want to relax and be entertained, what are you more likely to do - turn on the TV and put in a video, or look at a picture book.... And I point out how you will almost never find a picture of wedding vows or cake cutting hanging on a wall, but you'll watch it on video a thousand times. (I also mention this part when I stress how important it is for the photographer to cooperate during these events. We don't interfere with his/her photo shoot b/c those are the money shots. Just the same, vows, the ceremony, dances, and other reception formalities are OUR action shots. All we ask for is the same respect.)
Why am I telling you all this? I'm sure YOU know! Sorry, I forget... I'm so used to preaching to B&G's. ;o)
Thanks
