Let’s watch our first dance … oh, that’s right, we can’t

Hiring a videographer is more important than you think

I was helping my parents clean out their house when I came across a box of old 8mm movie reels. Most of them were shot with the family movie camera when my sister and I were kids. One of them was larger and in a nice, plastic case, not a metal canister. I couldn’t remember seeing it before and was curious about what could be on it.

So, I dug out the movie projector (that’s what we had before cloud video, YouTube, DVD players and VCRs), blew the dust off and fired it up. I couldn’t believe what I was watching.

Announcing the launch of AlanBerg.tv

By Blog

I’m very proud to announce the launch of my new video site AlanBerg.tv where you can watch free and paid videos. I want to thank everyone who was involved in the filming and post-production of the videos.

I’ve created a series of short (5 to 8 minutes) videos that answer some of the most commonly asked questions and topics by wedding pros and other small businesses, such as “Why do they always ask ‘How much do you charge?” and “Should I have pricing on my website?”. These Free Ask Alan videos will help answer those questions and concerns. There are 4 Ask Alan videos online for the launch and I’ll be adding more in the future. Read More
