Davenport Iowa Wedding Video - Quad Cities Videography

We wanted to say "Thank you" for creating such a beautiful, professional & positively awesome DVD of our wedding. We have already watched the snippits over and over and have shown it throughout the holidays to numerous relatives. Absolutely everyone has thoroughly enjoyed it & commented on how professional the DVD is. You used your creativity and skills and created an absolute masterpiece - it is even better than we imagined it to be!

Thank you so much for all your work, all your dedication to getting the video done quickly & for all your assistance during the planning phases. We sincerely appreciate all you did.

Tana: This is just fantastic......you did a fabulous job & the kids just can't wait to get it in the mail, going out today & also to David's parents...... We will recommend you HIGHLY...you are so creative....thank you so very much!!

We watched our video last night and we absolutely love it!!!! The music is PERFECT that you put with it and you really captured our day in a way that our memories can not retain. Tana you were right, the credits rock!! The whole video is wonderful and from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much and I will recommend you to anyone I know.

GCH Video did our wedding on November 10, 2007. We were both so pleased with their help and support that day and the end result of our video. They definitely go above and beyond your expectations!! No only do they ask for tons of input for what you want in your video, but you can also trust them with making the decisions for you if you are unsure on music, features, etc.... Our video captures our special day perfectly!

Thank you so much for the outstanding work you did on my Dad's 80th birthday video. We all appreciate your talent and hard work that went in to making it and we all are extremely pleased! I'm not kidding you when I say people are still talking about it saying what a neat, fun video it was!

It took a little time due to the holidays, but we finally watched the wedding video. It's great! We really liked the songs you chose for the Pre-Ceremony, Post-Ceremony and Credit pieces. A lot of people we have shown really thought the credits were fun and a really different way to show things. And the shots you chose for those pieces were really awesome, memorable shots. It's nice because on this video we have the ceremony and the important parts of the reception with the intros, toasts, and first dances, and then you show a summary of the rest of the day in nice musical pieces. I really am glad we have this from our day. Again, the video is wonderful. Thank you.

Thanks so much for sending out the videos, we absolutely love them. My most favorite part, besides the whole day, is the credit section that you put together. It had me laughing for quite some time.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Thank you so much! The video was absolutely amazing! We watched it from start to finish last night and it felt like our big day all over again (except this time I could cry and not worry about getting my sad face caught on camera!)

We can’t thank you enough for putting in so much time and effort into our special occasion; from the moment we met until the little package arrived yesterday. You captured our day so eloquently without being “in your face” and personalized the video to match us exactly!!!

The passion that you have for your work is what makes your videos so breathtaking.

Also, we LOVE the extras! We didn’t realize how many goofy faces we made throughout the day! :) We couldn’t stop laughing! I can’t wait to watch it again!!

I should have posted earlier - but we got our wedding video back at the end of August. I have to admit the time was delayed because we couldn't decide on any songs, so we eventually gave up and had GCH choose them. That was our best decision they knew us better then we did and we are absolutely in love with the songs they picked.

Needless to say we are in love with the video also. We had some funny moments happen at the Ceremony and we are glad we have them on videotape. We are also so thankful that our toasts are on video too, for they were extremely special. We've watched our DVD about a dozen times and bring it with us everywhere we go to visit so they can watch it. Everyone loves it.

Our photographer raved about how nice it was to work with GCH, they were never in each others way. Also, my dad even commented that at the ceremony he didn't realize that Tana was in the corner at the alter with us, they just blended in so well and caught all the moments.

So if you are thinking about a videographer, go with GCH. If you think you can't afford a videographer, talk to GCH you will honestly want those memories preserved forever.

The video is great! I wish we had something like that for our daughter's wedding several years ago. I've been told that many people never look at their wedding videos after the first time... that's probably because they are generally one long boring roll, much like a security camera. It's pretty hard to avoid some of that for the ceremony and toasts (which need to be covered in length), but you have done an excellent job of editing those and interleaving them with wonderfully edited vignettes that capture and hold interest. I found myself smiling and glued to much of it. I'm sure your video production will be viewed numerous times and shown off to friends and relatives before they are put up on the shelf (with their wedding album) for reliving at anniversaries.

It was especially fun for me to see the action knowing what was going on around it. I'm still impressed that you captured much without getting in my pictures and I wasn't in yours. What a joy you were to work with, both personally and professionally. I wish you the best of luck in your business and I will recommend you when I get a chance.

You did an outstanding job putting it all together! We love the background music. The cover of the DVD is fabulous. Everyone who has seen the video loves it. It combines the sacredness of the church with the humor of the Pre & Post Ceremony. I am so glad I did this for our daughter.

Thank you so much for the wonderful job on our video. We received the copies yesterday and I love everything about the video. You did a wonderful job on every aspect from the different shots, music, editing, and even the picture selections on the cover! Cory especially enjoyed the credits where you put in Robert and his fall. He really wanted to see it because he didn't during the ceremony and it is something his friends will remember forever.

Tana at GCH is absolutely a joy to work with. She takes great pride in her work and she does everything in her power to make you happy. At first we were kind of hesitant to hire a videographer because we were afraid a lot of the people would be "camera shy", but we sure are glad we hired her. Tana does such a great job of making herself unseen on the wedding day. There were many times when we didn't even notice her, but she definitely captured every second of the day. The prices of videographers may seem a little overwhelming at first, but believe me, every penny of it is worth it when you see the final product! Tana did an absolutely fantastic job, we would recommend her to anyone.

Every step of our experience with GCH was professional and smooth! Our video is BEAUTIFUL and captures every special moment of our wedding day. I would highly recommend potential clients engage GCH for beautiful everlasting memories!

Thank you so much for helping to make our special day so beautiful for our memories!

Just wanted to let you know how much I love the video. It turned out great. To be honest, I didn't think I was going to like it, because of Niki wanting everything so "fun", but it was perfect. It fit Niki & Mark's relationship so perfectly. I loved how you got the beautiful shots with the snow and the weather outside, especially with Niki looking out the window. It couldn't have captured the day more perfectly.

Of all the thousands of dollars spent on the wedding, this was the one thing that was money "well spent". Thanks again!

I LOVED the video! It turned out perfect! There are so many details that we forgot about that the video caught on tape.

Hi Tana – I just wanted to say thank you once again for the wonderful montage. Everyone loved it & Mark was over the top thrilled to say the least. You were wonderful to work with and if ever I have anyone who is looking to have someone put one of these together, I will recommend you immediately! Thanks again Tana, for everything!!!!

I just had to Thank You one more time! I'm sure you get compliments all the time. You did an AWESOME JOB! This video means more to me than I can ever express. Thank you a million times. We will treasure it forever!

GCH Video was an excellent choice for us! You were both so professional, pleasant, & easy to work with. Everything you promised was on time and of exceptional quality. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of our September wedding video. Both of our families absolutely loved the video, and we have all been showing it to many other relatives & friends. You really did capture the "feeling" of our whole day, added with some funny memories...especially in the credits! As the bride & groom, our day just flew by...so our video let us relive our day. (You captured other people's reactions, too!) Also, the photo montage that we showed at our reception was a huge hit and people were wanting more pictures--so you did an excellent job with that as well! We know we will watch this video many, many times in our lifetime and we appreciate your hard work so much! We would recommend GCH Video to anyone who is getting married so they could have a wonderful keepsake forever. Thanks again!!

We were very impressed with Tana and GCH Video. We love our video and so does everyone that has watched it! It includes the best and most memorable moments of our wedding day and is fun to watch. We love the credits and the way Tana incorporated songs that we wanted on our video from our wedding and reception. She was very easy to work with and helped us with any questions or ideas we had for our video.

We received our video in a very timely manner and were even able to let out of town guests view the video over the internet. We even received great service from GCH Video after we received our video by being able to get extra copies within a week of when we received the video. The video is easy to watch because it is setup through a menu and you can pick exactly what you want to see.

We were very impressed by how inconspicuous the videographers were. We barely even noticed they were there, yet they were able to capture every important moment of our special day. I would recommend GCH Video to anyone that wants a professional, yet affordable vidoegrapher for their special event.

Thank you for making our wedding video so enjoyable! Brian and I have enjoyed watching the video several times and feel very fortunate to have such an easy way to relive our wedding day! We are very happy we made the decision to have a videographer so we can share our video for years to come.

Thanks Tana my family has all loved it, my dad actually said, and I quote “You know how some things you pay for, and you say, humm that wasn’t worth the money, well this is worth every penny, they did such a good job putting everyone in the best light!”

I want to shoot you a quick email to thank you again for our video. We love it! I couldn't tell you how many times I have watched it if I wanted to, and we have friends and family that couldn't make it to the wedding who are really excited to see it. Thank you so much. It is great!

Tana~

We absolutely LOVE the video! We have already watched it several times! You did a great job and we couldn't have asked for anything better!!! Thank you for helping make our day so special!!!

The following we sent to us by Eric Hanson's mother, Deb Hanson:

I am tardy in writing you about the absolute joy and excitement your work has given me and my family. The finished product, "Love Story (of Eric and Larissa)" was amazing in and of itself, but when we saw the incredible elements for the wedding, both Dick and I were positively astounded at the perfection of it all.

It's fun for us to see Eric and Larissa's spot on your website--and how wonderful is that that you and your wife chose them to spread the "GCH Video" word through cyberspace! Their comments were honest and heartfelt, and from a bridal couple's perspective, but we must add a few thoughts from a bridal couple's parents' viewpoint.

Unlike the typical other wedding videos I've seen, we were so delighted that your work truly captured the personalities of our family members, starting with our son on his wedding day and all the way through to our other adult children and our grandchildren. As his mother, I saw in Eric some of those little traits, trademarks, and expressions of happiness and excitement that is him that go way back to when he was a little boy, which you picked up in your filming. What a priceless keepsake now and forever for me and his father! That is just one example (and we both know I could go on and on--Eric did remind me I was rather verbal in their "Love Story" interviews--just can't help myself!!!), as I saw your same talent in footage of our daughter and other sons and grandchildren. Not only can still photography miss that, but so can the average videographer, which is something you clearly are not!

-Deb Hanson

We got the videos on Wednesday - we love them! They are absolutely perfect. I think our favorite part has to be the uncut version of the ushers lighting the mother's candle - it cracks me up everytime! And I love the credits - the gag reel was a great idea.

Thank you again - we love the video so much - it is so wonderful to be able to re-live the day.

We cannot thank you enough for capturing our wedding day on video. Our DVD brings back all the joy and excitement we felt on that day. It brought tears to my eyes and I think Nick now appreciates why I wanted to have these memories on video forever! We'd be happy to serve as a reference to your future couples! You will get the highest of praise from us! We wish we would have had you tape us all night!

GCH did my wedding on June 25, 2005. I wasn't even going to use a videographer. I decided to last minute and I am so glad I did! GCH is very friendly and professional. They even came to the rehearsal to make sure the would not get in the way and ensure the best shots. I got the DVD back in about three weeks and it is wonderful. My husband likes it so much he's been showing everybody and he didn't even want a videographer. I would highly recommend GCH Video for your wedding

We loved how you set our video to music, especially from our wedding day. We thought you did a wonderful job of capturing the story of our special day. Great editing! You were absolutely a pleasure to work with and handled us so professionally. Thanks for being so accommodating with us out-of-towners planning our QC Wedding. We also appreciated your prompt response when we contacted you. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for the WONDERFUL video. Jon and I just picked it up from the mailbox, and it is great! I told my mom after the wedding that I hoped you got enough footage of us, because I didn't even really talk to you that day. But you got everything, it is perfect! We especially loved the credits and funny shots at the end.

You guys were so easy going and pleasant to work with. Thank you again so much! We absolutely love the video and would recommend you to anyone and everyone!

Hi Tana, I received the videos and watched them. I love it. Brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful. You did a wonderful job! I am very pleased.

I LOVED THE VIDEO!!! I started crying right away! It was perfect...you got every little thing I could have wanted...even little Joey signing the signature mat! :-) I loved the music video and also the before the ceremony part. The whole thing was wonderful! Thank you so much!

GCH did my wedding on May 21, 2005 and I could not be happier with the final product. They were very professional, and I hardly even realized they were there! They caught all the important moments, plus more that I didn't even know about. The video came back in a few weeks, and it is AMAZING!! I am so happy with the video, and I would HIGHLY recommend GCH Video. If you choose them, you will not be disappointed with your wedding video.

Good website. Attendance at rehearsal was nice. Unobtrusive. Quality output. We love the video! Thanks again!!

I highly recommend GCH Video. They are very professional and the end result was a superior quality. I have shown my DVD to many family and friends and everyone loves it! They have done a great job of editing the footage and incorporating our music and personalities. Most of my guests didn't even realize I had a videographer - they were so out of the way of the party - but close enough to capture all those moments we wanted to relive. My only regret is that I didn't have her stay the whole reception! Please look into GCH - you won't regret it. They are so great to work with.

Tana at GCH was a vendor at my wedding in September. I can't say enough how happy we were with her services. She's got a great eye for capturing the day and was do out of the way that most guests didn't even realize we had a videographer there. Tana was great fixing any problems we had (the names were switched for the ushers on the final product - changed right away). She was very professional at every point of contact. My husband even loves to share the video with friends - and trust me, he's not normally the type to show guy friends a wedding video! He wasn't sure we even needed one to begin with (as the cost of the wedding easily escalated for us). The end result is fun to watch and easy to jump to points we want to show people. I know there's some great videographers in the Quad Cities, but I will always put my two cents how grateful I am to have had Tana there at ours.
