Angela and Tom - New Hope, PA
October 25, 2006

Listen to the Parents’ Voicemail
This was just one of those magically beautiful weddings. A perfect autumn day in a very colorful New Hope, Pennsylvania.
A little over 70 family and friends helped celebrate Angie and Tom’s day. This had to be one of the most loving families we have shot.
It all began at the rehearsal dinner on Friday night at the Stockton Inn. Then the ceremony on Saturday at Thompson Memorial Presbyterian Church. Then off to a gorgeous event at the parent’s home and barn, designed by Evantine Design with a delicious presentation catered by Max & Me.
Congratulations ‘Gigi’ and Tom! ![]()

Jo Galbraith: (10.27.06-5:25pm) Hi Dave,<BR> <BR>Just wanted to pass on a lovely compliment from our dear friends Michael Mislove and Nellie Bellflower. They are in London working on a film. Nellie produced the film Neverland with Kate Winslet and Johnny Depp. Right now she is working on a film with Frances McDermott in London. They tried like crazy to be here for the wedding, but due to rewrites the production kept getting pushed back forcing them to fly to London two days before the wedding. I will forward the e-mail greeting card they sent us the next day. After we their greeting we sent them your "teaser". They gave us a call and could not have been more impressed!<BR> <BR>I don't know if you ever travel into the city, but I can assure you there were many guests at the wedding who hope you will, including us! Thank you again for allowing us to hold on to these treasured memories! I am sure there is not one picture of me without a tissue up to my very red nose. Friends are e-mailing pictures that are frightening. I knew my hair was on fire but I didn't know my nose was too! I only wish you could touch up video! I'm banking on all eyes being on the beautiful bride. Please give our best to Cheryl, she was a joy to work with at every turn.<BR> <BR>Thank you again for such beautiful work!<BR> <BR>Jo and Madison Galbraith
Angie Torres: (10.31.06-12:20pm) Dave. You are the best. Words can not express how amazing your work is. The video teaser is so fabulous I can't hardly stand it. Not only your work but you and your crew are just terrific people and it was more than a pleasure to have you at our wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our day the way you have. Much love,<BR>Tom and Angie
Tom Torres: (11.06.06-8:24pm) Dave,<BR><BR>Here it is almost 3 weeks after the wedding, and I watch the 30 second teaser on a daily basis, each time feels like the first! <BR>I wanted to Thank you and your crew for doing such a Wonderful job, I hardly noticed you guys, and yet what I am viewing is absolutely incredible, your mix of talent and equipment is absolutely top notch! <BR><BR>From the day Angela and I met you, I knew you were the guy for this task, and deep deep down I was hoping and praying that Madison and Jo would pick you, to my surprise, they did!
<BR><BR>All of the samples we viewed put me into tears and they were not even 'ours' to cherish! The work you showed us literally keeps you in your seat, and I can honestly say, I CANNOT wait to see what you have done for our wedding. <BR><BR>The wedding and reception were 'breath taking' to say the least, the Galbraith's labor of love gave Angela and I the Dream wedding that everyone dreams of! <BR><BR>My thanks to everyone that helped Jo and Madison make this event the most incredible wedding I have ever imagined! Dave, a special thanks to you for your flawless work as your efforts are more than appreciated.<BR><BR>Tom Torres
Dave Williams: (11.06.06-8:53pm) Tom,<BR><BR>Thanks - always so nice to hear from happy clients. It really helps us stay motivated. By the way, your Director's View recap is almost ready. I'll post it by Wednesday.<BR><BR>Dave
Jo Galbraith: (11.12.06-8:38pm) Dear Dave,<BR><BR>We just got home and saw the video! Words cannot describe how beautiful it is. We are overwhelmed by your sensitive and gorgeous work and feel so blessed to have found you. I cried all over again and can't wait to talk to Angie and Tom! They say pictures never do the truly special occassions in life justice, but watching your work was to relive it all over in gorgeous detail. In the span of 10 minutes we were transported back to the to the happiest day of our lives. Thank you,thank you,thank you without end.<BR><BR>Jo and Madison Galbraith
Dave Williams: (11.12.06-10:15pm) Jo - You are so sweet. Thank you.<BR><BR>Dave
Lynne Winter: (11.30.06-10:29am) Dear Mr. Williams, <BR><BR>Your work on the Royer/Torres wedding shines. You captured the joy and the feel of the wedding and reception in a way that many other videographers are unable to do. My son remarked that he did not remember there being videographers that day which is such a compliment on how you and your crew worked. Thank you for allowing us all to see the final product.
Dave LaBrec: (12.19.06-12:52pm) Dave,<BR><BR>I just now had a chance to watch the clips from the two links you sent in your previous message. I don't want to keep pestering you, but I had to tell you that Royer-Tores 10 minute recap is probably the best wedding video I have ever seen. The colors, the soundbites, just the whole video was completely captivating. I hadn't planned on watching the whole thing, but once I started, I could stop. I have watched many of the other great videographers clips that are posted on VU, but what you have done there just blows me away. Masterful storytelling!<BR><BR>If you ever offer a Von Lanken Style bootcamp, let me know.<BR><BR>Thanks for sharing,<BR>Dave LaBrec<BR><BR>__________________________________________________<BR>Dave LaBrec<BR>http://www.nashvilleweddingvideos.net

Karen and Amin at Appleford
October 09, 2006
Dave,
Your editing of the video is amazing! It is gorgeous. Anyone viewing it would be amazed.
Your capture of the ceremony is wonderful. The speeches, first dance, and cake cutting are great. We loved the shots you got of people hanging out together at the tables. We LOVED how you came upon our friend Bill telling the story about Amin.
The recap was beautiful. Everyone that has watched it has needed a box of tissues.
Karen
P.S. I thought I’d include some of the reactions we had to the recap…
Oh My Gosh…..This is so beautiful. I am totally speacheless. What a wonderful job they did on this….you too look so happy. I was so caught up in the actual moment that I missed out on the close ups. This is such a neat was to revisit that special day. Thanks for sharing!
That is the most beautiful wedding video I have ever seen. I can’t believe I just cried here at my desk! I can only imagine how touched you and Amin are to have something so special. Your kids, God willing, are going to love watch that.
I know I’m preggo and emotional blah, blah, blah but that video left me blubbering like an idiot. I loved it.
This is absolutely fabulous!!! What a great way to remember your special day.
That was the most beautiful video. It was done so well and professionally, like no other wedding video I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing. Olivia got a kick out of watching it too.
