what brides say about lee thomas contemporary films

"Dear Lee,

Thank you so much for creating a wedding day video that both profoundly enhances and perfectly reflects our memory of that day.  Your ability to capture and recreate the personality, emotion, and our experience of the day is phenomenal.  Seeing parts of the day that we missed has been an additional bonus, but re-living those moments we cherish has been an invaluable gift.  In the first week, I watched it more than 10 times (I'll spare you the precise number as it may seem abit compulsive!).  We feel you didn't miss a thing the entire day, which is wonderful since it was such a blur to us.  You do have an uncanny ability to be at the perfect place at the perfect moment and recognize it as such.  Furthermore, your editing reflects both cinematic brilliance and your satisfaction with nothing less than perfection.  And this is particularly amazing since you seemed to be hidden in the periphery all day, but always with your eye on the action.  Working with you has been an absolute privilege and certainly was the single best wedding decision we made..."

"Hi Lee,

Just wanted to drop you a little note to let you know how much we love our wedding video.  I've already watched it four times (and counting) and I still get a chill every time, because it's that good!  You captured and edited the movie so beautifully that it's like being back at that day, with all the emotion, but having more clarity than I did as a nervous bride.  You are extremely talented and I'm honored that you were part of our big day,  It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and I can't wait until our next big event, so we can have you on board to capture it.  Thank you so much for all the time you put into making our wedding memories last forever!"

"Lee,

How can we thank you enough!!!  Oh my goodness, what amazing work you do!  We have watched the video numerous times and have cried, laughed, and noticed new and different aspects each time.  We love it, to say the least.  We look forward to enjoying it many more times in the years to come.  Thank you so much!!"

"Dear Lee,

We put alot of thought into choosing a videographer and we reviewed demos of over a dozen videographers.  When we received your work, it clearly stood out from the pack and our decision was immediately made.  From first glance you can see that your videos are not ordinary wedding videos, but rather, creative works of art with original touches and artistic flair.

When we received our video, we were absolutely amazed at how you captured our wedding day.  Our video is my FAVORITE captured medium from the wedding.  You truly told a story with your creative editing and I re-live the day and get emotional each time I watch it.  It is so evident that you put a lot of thought into your work and we love the result.

I place high value on customer service and you were absolutely wonderful to work with!!  You are incredibly nice and professional and it is obvious that you truly love what you do (which goes a long way with me!!!).

Thank you for giving us such a beautiful gift for our wedding day.  We will be forever grateful."

"Lee -

Please forgive me for not writing sooner to tell you how pleased we are with our wedding film - but know from the bottom of our hearts we thank you!!!  We are beyond pleased with the results of our documentary film (I refuse to call it a video).  We were simply amazed at how you captured our day.  You didn't miss a moment; you paid the appropriate amount of attention to our dearest family members; the editing was PHENOMENAL!  You chose the right music for each segment, and I loved the music you chose for the wedding ceremony!

Lee, you are truly gifted.  You evoke such strong emotions with the beauty of your work.  After I laughed so hard at Jason's rendition of "Always and Forever", I was immediately brought to tears with the next segment (my preparations).  You brought out the best of our blessed day.  The majority of my family members saw it while I was away on business - everyone was floored by the look and feel of our documentary.  It looked like a movie!  Lee, we knew that you would meet our expectations based upon your work displayed on your website, but you far exceeded our expectations by the personal care that you took to capture our day.

Without question, you are doing the best work out there, and everyone who has seen your outstanding, creative finished product agrees.  For a comparable video, we would have had to go to Hollywood - thank God you were in Rochester Hills!  Thanks a million..."

"Dear Lee,

Sorry this is so late in coming... but please be assured that we truly love the wonderful DVD you created of our wedding day.  Life seems to whirl by, but thanks to you, we have the gift of time preserved.  Thank you for all of your time and talent, we are so very blessed by it!  All our best to you and your family..."

"P.S.  Your camera presence on our wedding day was subtle and not at all obtrusive, in contrast to many videographers we've seen at friends' weddings.  Plus, your "eye" is impeccable - we absolutely love your work!"

"Hi Lee,

We really wanted to let you know how much we love the video (DVD).  It's absolutely amazing and you managed to capture everything that meant so much to us that day!  Everything is absolute perfection and we cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job that you did - not to mention all the extra work you put into it.  You really went above and beyond your contractual obligations and we really appreciate all your time, effort, and creativity.

So far, all our family members have their own favorite parts, but our favorite is the ending recap.  The music, the pictures... we feel like it's our own little DeBeers diamond commercial every time we watch it.  I know a diamond is forever, now our wedding day memories will live forever too!  Once again, thank you for everything..."
