Welcome

Thank you for visiting my video blog. My name is Dave Alegre, the artist behind most of the videos you see here. Seventeen years ago I taped and edited my first project and it has been twelve years since I taped my first official wedding. It has been a challenging and exciting journey for my family and me. This career has allowed me to create countless memories for people around the world. It has allowed me to travel to destinations from Hawaii, the Bahamas and as far as Italy, but most of all it has allowed me to meet my beautiful wife, Grace.

What is the purpose of my video blog? I’m a storyteller at heart, but rather than writing, I like to use images—combining movement and audio. Here I will post current and past projects that showcase you – my family, friends and clients. For my videos that date back as far as the early 90’s, I never had the opportunity to do this because the technology never existed. Today I can, I may even post my own experimental home videos that I learned from – depending on how embarassing they might be! You’ll be able to watch the progression of quality and creativity in my craft. My hope is that this blog will keep you entertained. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that’s the case, then a video is worth a billion!

If you like what you see and feel when you watch these videos, then hire us. We are available to travel anywhere around the world for your hometown or destination wedding.


Most videos will be posted at their fullest length, if you want to watch short samples, view my trailers on our website link at the top of this blog. Enjoy!

David & Denise’s Highlights Intro (SD)

June 1, 2009 – 9:23 pm

What a cute couple and they had greatest first dance! This video has made me realize that you don’t have to put scenes in chronological order to show the wedding day. It all makes sense at the end. To see parts of the fun reception go to: visionaryprohd

Jesssica & Joel’s Wedding Video Intro shot in HD

May 13, 2009 – 12:46 pm

Being perfectionist has its problems, but I’m going to have to be satisfied. This video turned out great and l love the quality of HD footage. But besides the quality of shooting in HD. I believe what you hear is more important than what you see. Picking up good quality sound is more important than anything else in video. It is the the emotions that we feel when we can hear the original thoughts and voices from the video. Something that can’t be replicated by just looking at photos or video images with just music. To me capturing good vocal sound is practically 80% of the success. Can you imagine not hearing your vows? With our recorders and cordless microphones we captured it all with Jessica & Joel’s wedding.

Jessica & Joel’s Love Story Movie (2008) HD
Old Dominion University

May 13, 2009 – 12:45 pm

Get out the popcorn because this is 23 minutes of craziness. Check it out, I had fun directing it! Jessica and Joel was a blast to work with. They even included their wedding party to act in the movie. It’s a story about how they kind of met in ODU back in the day. Everyone has 15 mins of fame, but they had 23. This video was shown at their wedding reception on a big projection screen.

It was such a great pleasure to tape Drake & Alison. It was even a greater pleasure to show glimpse of their wedding day in front of their entire guest. Congratulations to both on a fun filled day of excitement and joy!

Sammie & Tonya’s Unique Vows (2005) SD
Williamsburg Va.

February 13, 2009 – 11:01 am

What are the two elements that differentiate video from photography? You guest it, sound and movement. Watch as you hear the wedding vows of Sammie & Tonya . Hilarious because Sammie hesitated say them.

  1. Marsha   -  

    Dave - It looks great! Thanks so much for a wonderful video - it captured their relationship so well. (Do you hear that a lot?)

  2. Dave   -  

    Thanks for the kind words. I hear comments once in awhile, but it’s always great to hear it to stay motivated in a challenging business.

  3. elma pascual   -  

    Dave, Uncle Rey and I enjoyed the short video presentation at the reception and looking forward to see the “whole thing” SOON !!!! Auntie Elma (Rey’s mom) you do great work… thanks !!!

  4. Trish Alegre-Smith   -  

    Margie and Reymond looked so sweet together!!! The video was beautifully captured–especially for a quick edit. You really have a good eye for picking out moments and stringing them together into a cohesive story line. I’m sorry we missed the big event–I hope we get a chance to see the full video soon.

  5. Addy Chan   -  

    that video was so sweet and cute! congrats to margie and reymond!!!
    i also love love that song played during the video — i just came across it the other day!

  6. The Groom   -  

    We really love the video Dave! Margie loves it so much that she watches it no less than 15 times daily! She even has to watch it before she sleeps. It’s pretty ridiculous, hehe! Thanks again, bro! We’ll be in touch.

  7. admin   -  

    Margie don’t get addicted to this video, the best time to watch it is when you get into an argument with Rey! Just kidding, keep enjoying it…. :)

Sample of Marci & John’s Reality Style Wedding Video (2006) SD
Norfolk Botanical Gardens

November 4, 2008 – 2:16 am

Can you say “reality show?” After shooting so many weddings, I felt it was time for us to try something different. Too many times I’ve seen wedding videos that are just edited with music and no monologue or dialogue from the couple. If nothing is being said, a story isn’t being told. I felt adding interviews created a true dimension to this video. It allowed Marci and John to express how they felt during their wedding day. Typical wedding videos overuse slow motion shots with just music. Not this video! It tells a story just like the reality shows you watch on TV. Check it out this was our first!

  2. Elsie   -  

    I want you to know this is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen! This video made me SET on the idea of my wedding at the Botanical Gardens. I was in tears by the end of this video. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of art.
