Lauren and Josh's Wedding as posted on Wedding Mapper

October, 2007  - Jim was great to work with. Our wedding DVD looks like a movie! Everyone thinks it is unlike anything they have ever seen before.

Dear Jim,   

When Ragan said that she wanted to have her wedding and reception at our home, we were honored and thrilled. It did involve more logistical planning than normal, but everything fell into place and it was a truly wonderful day! Ragan and Todd are both very thorough and always make good decisions, and when they selected you to do their video, we knew it would be good - we just never realized it would be this good.  There’s so much that the mother of the bride misses on the wedding day, but you captured every detail perfectly.  Your music choices and timing were excellent. The entire video, from the Life Story Photo Montage to the Honeymoon Montage, was wonderful, but I especially enjoyed the Pre-Ceremony segment.  I have watched it so many times – and it still gives me goose bumps.  With our family and friends sharing this occasion with us, Ragan’s wedding day was such a wonderful special time for us. Thanks to you, we are able to re-live the memorable event over and over again.  Jim and I want to thank you for coming into our home on this happiest day of our lives, working your special kind of magic, and providing us with a video that makes our hearts smile - time and time again.

Sincerely, Donna Thornton,  Mother of the Bride (Thornton/Smith Wedding)

Thanks Jim - It was a pleasure and you treated all that worked with you like gold.  Best of luck!  Julie & Vinod.

I've been struggling with how to describe our reaction to the video..........words like "beautiful", "wonderful", "perfect", don't seem adequate.  We loved it

You have done such an incredible job of capturing the day........all the emotion, beauty, fun, and poignancy of the day.  It was like reliving it all over again.   My daughter's wedding day will live in my memory forever, thanks to your masterful talent at filming and editing the events. 

We are thrilled with the professionalism and creativity that went into capturing the mood and events of the best day of our lives.  I am so happy that we chose you to be our videographer.  The whole experience has been a pleasure from start to finish.  Nancy Laroche, Mother of the bride Virginia Beach.  See sample of video Pre-Ceremony Virginia Beach on video page.

I like how unobtrusive you were for all the video you shot.  Most people said they didn’t really notice you – that was exactly what I wanted.  Deana McNeely, Bride

Dear Jim,

Thanks for a great day of video.  You were truly professional & eased our mood when tensions seemed to be running away.  You made Lisa cry... she'll say I did too but I'll deny it.  It was beautifully done ... we cracked up over the out takes.  You are truly an Artist.  John & Lisa Berger Bride & Groom.  See sample of video Horse & Carriage Ride on video page.

 "It is such a feel good video!  You did a wonderful job.  I love the way you timed everything...I mean absolutely perfect.  And the pictures look really good on screen.  The entire montage was great.  The love story was just fantastic, it was absolutely wonderful.  The way that it was put together, I mean from beginning to end, I was amazed because it, it’s like you put the music to the way we walked the way we touched each other, the way everything came together, it was amazing.  The end result was just fantastic.  It was great."

 I’m so grateful that I got the video done so I can relive every thing through the video much better than I can through hanging this picture on the wall.  I’m much happier that I got a video done than the photos because the video turned out fantastic."

"You can tell all your love and all your care that goes into every single shot."

"I would highly recommend Jim LeTempt he is fantastic."  Dianna Levelle, Bride

"There’s an old song, remember “Magic Moments”?  You were able to capture them in a natural sequence, especially with the musical background.  From soup to nuts from beginning to end you’ve got the hors d'oeuvres, you’ve got the cocktails, you’ve got the main course, and my goodness have you got dessert.  Good lighting, good coloring, all the phases, that’s what it’s all about, just a beautiful piece of work.  It's something where I can watch this and have the joy of my life repeatedly. It was perfect for me from the beginning, through the middle, and for me it never ends because I can start the tape all over again. So I recommend Jim.  ... no matter what the price is, it’s a bargain.  It’s a bargain that will last you a whole life."  Joel Wolfson, Father of the bride

"It was (a) wonderful (video tape) and this time I got to cry without worrying about the mascara.  You did an incredible job of capturing the ceremony... the image, the words and the laughter.  I liked the way the whole thing was put together.  You were truly discreet, respectful, unobtrusive and a joy to have around."  Barbi Disraelly, Wedding Coodinator for Wolfson/Levelle Wedding

“It was breathtaking; it was beautiful. I laughed and I cried because there were so many things that we weren’t able to see when we were involved with the ceremony that we were able to see on the video.”

“Yea, because being involved in the ceremony, there were a dozen people pulling us in a dozen different directions and the video enabled us to actually see what was going on behind us and what everybody else was doing, and it gave us a clear picture of about 95% of the wedding which we didn’t get to take part in the first time because we were going in totally different directions.  It was really amazing; it showed everyone and the involvement, it was just a great tape.” 

“We would recommend Jim and his video company. It just seemed like he was where he needed to be at the right time and the whole thing just flowed smoothly.” 

“He basically got great shots without us even knowing he was there.” Bob & Michele Graupmann, Bride & Groom

"The quality and service was excellent. You displayed the utmost in professionalism in both your attire and warming disposition."   Don Taylor Father of the bride (James/Graupmann wedding)

"Our video tape is really good.  A friend of ours had a tape done by an amateur and it turned out badly.  It was in and out of focus …"

"For what you get professionally, it is really worth it and we highly recommend it.  We’re very pleased with our video tape. It’s worth every penny."

"The video is exquisite.  I mean what Jim did with the tape was outstanding.  It fits us to a tea.  We’re very, very happy." Terry & Chris Thomson, Bride and Groom
