From the beginning, Alan seemed to clearly understand what we were hoping
to achieve in the video and what not to miss. During the actual day he
virtually disappeared, yet the video seemed to capture all the right moments
to present the essence of the wedding, especially the sentiment and joy
of the occasion. The finished product helped us transcend language differences
to share our happiness with family thousands of miles away. We recommend
him highly.

barely noticed Alan's presence the night of our wedding making it almost
impossible to imagine how it is he documented the evening so thoroughly
and captured so many hidden moments! In fact, the only thing conspicuous
about Alan is his expertise. He guided us through the editing process
with ease and helped us create a wedding video that was uniquely tailored
to our wishes."

husband and I did not want a 'typical' wedding video--we wanted something
truly creative and 'us' and Alan Roth fit the bill. He made himself completely
available when you needed him and invisible when you didn't. The quality
of the video is fantastic--both the raw footage and final edit.
During the editing process he let us do completely what we wanted and
offered suggestions when we needed help. During the actual day Alan was
calm, responsible, everywhere at once, and somehow got not only all the
important moments, but wonderful little detailed moments that were priceless.
It was exactly what we wanted, and came out more like a documentary than
a typical wedding video. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

some time has past since our wedding at The New York Botanical Garden,
the memories are still vivid. In part, I attribute that to the fact that
it was our wedding day, but I also attribute it to the wonderful video
that we have documenting the day from start to finish. You created the
perfect remembrance of the most special day of our lives, and what made
the video so perfect for us were a number of things.
First,
you were a pleasure to work with from the time we met you. Upon meeting
you, you gave us a sense of confidence that you would listen to and execute
our wishes – those were to capture the day as it unfolded and to
be as unobtrusive as possible. There is certainly plenty of anxiety in
planning a wedding, but we are happy to say that, thanks to you, videoing
the day did not contribute to it. In addition, on the wedding day itself,
I found you to be a very calming influence, particularly when I was having
my portraits taken and feeling a bit anxious prior to the ceremony. Thank
you for that!
Secondly, you filmed our wedding in a manner that was exactly what we
had hope for – professional, understated and unobtrusive. We were
absolutely thrilled that you were able to capture so many special moments
that we would otherwise have missed or forgotten. What was so extraordinary
was that it appeared that you and the video went unnoticed while you were
filming. I still marvel at the fact that I had no idea where you were
when you were filming the ceremony – and later learned that you
were actually somewhere in front of us! And what pleased us even more
was that you were able to accomplish all this without the use of any camera
lights.
We cannot thank you enough for documenting what will forever be some of
the most precious moments of our lives.

made sure that his presence at our wedding and reception was completely
unobtrusive, while still managing to capture all the great moments of
the day. He coordinated his work well with our photographer, which helped
make both our video and photographs turn out great.

were so fortunate to find Alan to film our wedding day. Friends have seen
our wedding video
and remarked that it looked like the work of a professional documentary
filmmaker-- and we get to tell them " yes it was".
We could not recommend Alan more highly. "

This weekend we had a full video screening with my brother and sister-in-law
and ate every second up. We were so pleased, in fact,
that Judy’s sister will likely hire you for her wedding (this July)
and I promise to sing the praises of videography to all who are about
to marry.

and Steve showed us all
of the footage from the wedding, and it's just wonderful. As you may know
we were unsure about doing video,
as we worried that it would be intrusive or make people self consious.
You really have a sensitive way though, and caught so many funny and
touching candid moments. We are all so glad to have this. The wedding
day is kind of a beautiful, happy blur---it went much too fast and
we were all a bit worn by the nerves and the work leading up to it. And
we all felt that we couldn't be as many places as we wanted, the whole
thing was so spread out between the lawn, the pool, the field, the tent,
the beach and the house (in Nantucket).
Although you seemed to have been just about every place! So I just want
to express our deepest thanks and appreciation meanwhile
for the fine job you did. Your filming will give us pleasure and rekindle
memories for many years.....
