Rusty, we want to
thank you for the excellent
job on our final video.
You did a great job
of picking scenes and
pulling it all together
into an enjoyable mini-movie
of our special day.
We're looking forward
to having a day where
we can share it with
our neighbors and friends
to relive it in our
home.
We appreciate the extra
effort you made in
improving the scenes
we pointed out, we
noticed the difference
and feel it gave the
whole video a professional
look and feel.
Thanks again for your
time and effort. We
were pleasantly surprised
by how smoothly things
went that day, thanks
in no small part to
the skill and knowledge
of vendors like you. |

Hi Rusty:
I want to thank so
much for being so kind
and helpful to me,
Jacob and my family.
You were a blessing
to have as a videographer
- you were a friend
to me throughout this
whole process, and
that means a lot. I
can see how passionate
you are about making
others happy when they
see the video you make
for them. You are gifted
and I hope that your
company and successes
continue to grow as
time goes on. |

I am very envious
that you get to do
something you love
and that you have
a REAL talent for.
It is rare that people
find that in life!!
One of my friends
who is a wedding
planner in Seattle
has already asked "where
is he based!??"
The shot of my parents
and I coming from
behind the shrubs
is so cool - it's
dream like.
Just so you know,
your timing was perfect
on getting us this
highlight video.
My 90 yr old grandmother
is leaving today
and when I sent it
to my parents last
night to show her,
she couldn't stop
watching it and is
overwhelmed with
it! She has since
watched it 4 times
in a row and can't
stop telling me how
beautiful it is.
Also, I've sent
it out to all our
friends and family
and the accolades
that I'm receiving
don't stop. One of
my friends said:
"WOW Janine
- I'm speechless.
This is the most
stunning video. I
have to share with
my mom and my sister! |

Rusty,
Steve and I received
our wedding DVD last
night and we love it.
You did a phenomenal
job and we are very
pleased and happy with
the outcome. We don't
want to make any changes
to the DVD. We both
loved it. For some
reason, I felt we were
more like friends rather
than vendor/client
and that always adds
an element of relaxation
to the whole thing.
Steve and I both love
the job you did and
we are very pleased.

I wanted to take
a few moments to comment
on the videography
services provided by
Simply Interactive,
specifically Rusty
Worden. My wife (fiance
at the time) and I
weren't initially sure
if we wanted to allocate
monies for a wedding
video during our initial
wedding planning. After
getting to know Rusty
over the course of
6 months and receiving
the wedding video,
making the decision
to hire Simply Interactive
for our "big day" was
undoubtedly one of
the best decisions
we made.
It was apparent from
day one how much time,
effort, and care Rusty
puts into his work.
Rusty was more than
accommodating in finding
times to meet with
us on an initial consultation,
and thoroughly covered "all
our options" during
our first face-to-face
conversation. His relaxed,
comfortable rapport,
coupled with ability
to ask questions and
listen made us feel
comfortable from the
start, and would prove
invaluable on our wedding
day. The business aspect
or associated costs
never seemed to be
the focal point, which
was a refreshing change
from our many other
vendor "budget discussions" during
the planning process.
The nature of the relationship
didn't change once
we decided to choose
Rusty and Simply Interactive.
I use "relationship" because
that is how the experience
felt. Rusty was in
constant contact and
remained available
at all times. I honestly
felt like a family
member was going to
be handling our wedding
video – he genuinely
seemed to care that
much. He did a fantastic
job with our "engagement
shoot." In what would
become a theme of his
work ethic, Rusty was
out early to get "extra" scenic
shots. In a relaxed
and approachable manner,
he was able to get
my wife, someone who
doesn't feel at all
comfortable around
cameras, to "open up" and
talk at length about
our engagement and
upcoming marriage.
In simplest terms,
he made our afternoon "in
front of the camera" fun.
The same can be said
for his performance
at our rehearsal.
I assume there is always
a certain extent of "worrying" that
goes along with the
performance of the
chosen vendors on the
wedding day. My wife
and I didn't have any
such concern with Rusty
and Simply Interactive.
He of course was there
extremely early to
get additional footage
of the winery and preparations.
And during the ceremony,
when our minister inexplicitly
read the incorrect
vows, it was Rusty
who was an absolute
rock. He suggested
taking a moment, going
to a private spot,
and re-doing our vows.
His assistant quietly
read the vows we had
written (and that were
supposed to be used)
and we repeated them
while Rusty filmed
our own "impromptu
ceremony." Rusty used
quick thinking to make
an extremely unfortunate
situation remarkably
better. Because of
Rusty and his composure
we now have "our" vows
captured on tape, something
my wife and I are eternally
grateful for.
We could only hope
the final product was
as good as our experience.
We were thrilled to
find Rusty is as talented
with the camera as
he is personable. Our
wedding video was in
a word, fabulous. The
culmination of his
time and effort in
getting to know the
couple, as well as
his attention to detail,
shines through in his
work. The video is
simply more than we
could have hoped for.
Rusty captures each
and every special moment,
from poignant and playful
shots of my wife getting
ready, to the reactionary
shot of this groom
from his best mans
speech. The natural
shots of the winery,
words from friends
and family, moves on
the dance floor, an
embrace from an old
friend, a smile from
a relative, are all
there. The video picture
is of the highest quality,
and the editing is
state of the art. Moments
seem to naturally flow
into the next, as the "story" is
told in a perfectly
paced manner. Rusty
has an innate ability
to blend music with
pictures, as his use
of music perfectly
fits the footage (and
our personality). This
aspect is one of our
favorite components
of the video. At no
point is the video "stagnant," as
Rusty uses multiple
editing techniques
to keep the picture "fresh" and "moving."
I could write several
pages on the subtle
nuances in Rusty's
work that come together
to make in my opinion
a video that perfectly
captures our memories
of a lifetime. Those
who have seen our video
have the same reaction – a
wide-open mouth in
absolute disbelief
that it is that amazingly
good (OK…. tears
is the other popular
reaction). I wanted
to get to a computer
right away to express
my gratitude for Rusty's
magnificent work, as
I truly felt it was
the least I could do
for all the effort
he put into giving
us a beautiful reminder
of our wedding day. |
