can't emphasize enough how much we enjoyed working with you on
our wedding day. The level of comfort you gave us was first-rate;
you made it a point to ask about all the cultural and religious
aspects of our ceremony and reception, and of course you put together
a stunning and memorable final product. Thank you again for your
professionalism and talent!"

"From
the first meeting we felt so comfortable with you, and were confident
that you would capture our wedding day with the artistic eye that
can only come with a true professional. On the actual day, you
were so easy to work with, so much so we essentially never realized
you were there. We were absolutely thrilled with the final product,
the moments you captured, the different angles, colors and music
all tell the beautiful story of that day, and now we can relive
it any time we want!
We were blessed to work with such phenomenal vendors for our wedding
and you were no exception!"

Congratulations on an outstanding job putting together a first class production for our Siena and Villages at Aberdeen jobs. The segments that were chosen and the way we displayed them, the filming & editing along with the way they were presented on the website were all conceived and executed beautifully. This is a great addition to our site and one that should make the web experience that much more exciting. Great work!"

"Our advice is simple, use Apogee. We have an incredible video that captured the smallest, most special moments, looks and emotion that pictures and our memory could not. Friends and family that have watched the video are surprised...they never even knew there was a videographer. When Apogee says they're "non-intrusive", they mean it!
Apogee does so much more than make a wedding video...he composes a beautiful, perfect, complete and creative piece...one that we will treasure forever!"

"I
wanted to thank you so much for taking the time to put this {montage}
together so quickly and for capturing the amazing man our grandfather
was. It brought such comfort and joy to not just Garo and I but
our entire family. We showed the video at a mercy meal we had
after the funeral and it was such a fitting tribute. It was really
special for those who were not a part of the extreme makeover
experience to see. Garo also mentioned he saw you at the funeral.
You have now experienced some of the most exciting events in our
lives as well as the most trying. Thank you for you incredible
support not only as a colleague but as a friend."

"Working with Apogee Video Productions is a unique experience. It is rare that your "creative partner" marries your feedback and direction with his own professional and artistic suggestions. We worked with Matt to film and produce a behind-the-scenes account of our experience building a home for ABC-TV's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Matt was eager to work the filming into his busy schedule, and made every accommodation possible to ensure we got the job done. He clearly got into the spirit of the week, showing both heart and professionalism throughout the event.
In the post-production process, rather than just "giving the client exactly what he asks for", Apogee took the intent of the piece (as we described it), interpreted it and put together something that not only delivered on the goals of the piece but exceeded our own vision for the final product.
Matt graciously accepts constructive comments, but also stands firm where he believes his approach accomplishes your vision, and the piece is better for it in the end. His artistic vision is only matched by his high level of customer service. We intend to use Apogee Video Productions wherever we can in our company's future video production needs!"

Also, we were thrilled with Jeff at the wedding, most people did not even realize we had a videographer there. So thank you so much to both you and Jeff for the amazing job! We will definitely be passing your name on to anyone else we know looking for a videographer."

"I am THRILLED with the results. We watched about 20 different sample DVDs before deciding on Apogee. Matt, you were totally unobtrusive, didn't use any cheesy cartoon gimmicks, didn't bother our guests, shot gorgeous footage and edited it beautifully. The recap blew me away -- I've already watched it three times, and I keep picking up new nuances every time I watch it, it was like watching a romantic music video! There's even some footage of my husband mouthing the words "I love you" to me during our photo shoot. You can really see throughout the video how in love we are and how ecstatic we were on that day in particular.
The overall picture quality was incredible too. When we first watched our DVD I didn't just cry, I bawled. I could not believe how utterly overwhelmed I felt. You captured everything so beautifully, and it was edited so well that I felt like I was watching a movie. You had been so unobtrusive during the wedding reception that I barely noticed you, and I'm amazed by everything you captured.
I'm SO happy and relieved that we not only chose to hire a videographer but that we chose to hire you, as you really understood our personalities and were able to cover all of the details we worked so hard to plan. Photographs are wonderful and should also be treasured, but nothing captures the spirit of the day the way a video does. I see that now. Hearing everyone speaking, watching the little gestures and side glances, seeing people so animated (especially the very elderly and the very young)...it's all so touching. Thank you!"

trying to figure out the perfect 35th birthday gift for my husband
on his first birthday as a married man, I knew I could count on
you. After all, our wedding video was a complete masterpiece.
I am so happy I had you do Jared's birthday montage. As usual,
you were an absolute professional and a perfectionist. Even your
placement of the songs was simply perfect. I'll forever remember
the look on his face as he watched 35 years of his life on DVD,
set to music. Thank you for making my life so much easier by helping
with all the details and by helping me give him a gift that he'll
have forever. We will show our kids (after they watch our awesome
wedding video first!!). You have a client for LIFE!!!! Thanks
again!"

"A
few months ago, my girlfriends and I were engaged in one of those
all-wedding discussions that always develops when young brides-to-be
and young newlyweds get together. After the subjects of flowers
and djs and invitations had been exhausted, my newest friend to
sport a diamond on her finger brought up videographers, and asked
the rest of us our thoughts on the matter. My only married friend
stunned me with her immediate reply that a wedding video isn't
necessary since no one ever watches it more than once. "You
do if it's my wedding," I quickly corrected her (alright,
maybe loudly too, but I was shocked!), "because
I watch mine all the time!"
Mark and I can't thank you enough for the best wedding present
we received--the preservation of every minute, every memory, of
the happiest day of our lives. The second the film starts, we're
filled with the same joy and excitement we felt the day we were
married. I'm sure you get hundreds of testimonials and letters
of thanks for the beautiful cinematography, the editing--all of
it! But in addition to loving all the technical elements and artistry
you used to create our film, Mark and I are most in love with
what your work represents. Replaying our wedding day means more
to us than simply reliving treasured moments--it means our children
and grandchildren will also be able to celebrate the love and
joy we felt that day. They will be able to participate in memories
that--thanks to you--can't help but transcend the television screen.
And someday, when a lifetime of events impedes the recollection
of even the happiest early times, we'll come across some dusty,
antiquated dvd player, put in your wedding video, and remember
each lovely, precious sentiment as if it were yesterday.
Many, many thanks!"

"It
has taken some time for me to get this note of appreciation to
you because of the emotional journey the past year and a half
has been. First of all, the wedding video was AMAZING! You truly
captured everything on video (which we still cannot figure out
how you did it as a one man show) and created this beautiful dvd
that will without a doubt become an heirloom that we treasure
as much as our weddng album. Your professionalism regarding the
entire event was much appreciated due to our situation concerning
my father's ailing health. We met with you and booked the event
with less than three months, and yet you talked us through everything
and guided us without trying to only make a buck off of us. Your
care and concern regarding our situation was obvious, and you
will never know how much it put me at ease to know I had someone
as compassionate as you covering my wedding day. You made sure
you expedited the final dvd so that my dad would be able to see
it, which was so incredibly thoughtful.
When we thought you couldn't out-do yourself, you created the
masterpiece video-montage for my father for us to present to him
as a gift. What a gift it was! It takes a lot to bring that man
to tears, and you had him (and the rest of the family) sobbing!
It was perfect, and there aren't enough words of praise that I
could ever say to you that could convey how grateful I am for
the gift you have given us. I know have something to play for
my children so that they will know their pop-pop in some sense,
which I feared I would never be able to do with justice.
You truly are a professional in every sense of the word; However,
you are also a kind, caring man who obviously loves his career.
Thank you Matt, from the bottom of my heart for capturing my wedding
day, creating a timeless dvd, and giving my father and my family
a gift that only YOU could have created. Best regards to you &
Jane!"

"Where
to begin...I guess back in 1997, when we first met you at my brother
Scott's wedding. What a wonderful job you did on the video to
capture every moment perfectly. I don't know how they found you,
all I know is it was a blessing they did. 7 years later, you would
be filming our day, and what a day it was!
When
we began planning our wedding the one person I was sure I wanted
to be a part of our day was you. I knew I didn't have to worry
about anything as the experience at my brother's wedding was so
wonderful. You not only captured all the things I wanted you to,
but also things I didn't even know had been going on! We hardly
knew you were there, except that your charming personality couldn't
go unnoticed. You are very talented and compassionate and it shows
through your work. The piece of advice you had given me when you
first arrived was to make sure I looked around and really took
the day in and that was the best advice I could have received.
The best part about your work is that we can relive those moments
again and again, and the way you captured it; I feel as if I am
in that very moment each and every time we watch it. We watch
the video so much more often then we ever thought we would. I
am a picture person, but the video truly tells our tale to those
who were unable to be there. That makes our video priceless.
Our
sincere thanks and much appreciation for putting your heart and
soul into our memories, you have really outdone yourself and we
couldn't be happier! Please let anyone interested in your work
know that they can contact us anytime to talk about how great
you and your work really are!! Best of everything to you and Jane!"

am still speechless. I thought that nothing could ever top our
wedding video that you made for us because not only did it look
like a movie, you captured all the love that Andrew and I feel
for each other and the excitement in both of us, our families
and friends. It wasn't until my 30th surprise party....when your
official
masterpiece was shown. The montage you made for me (with the help
of my husband) literally is talked about daily. The party was
a blast, but the montage literally stole the show. Every single
person has said that it was the "best video they have ever
seen" and it is still talked about. It was so detailed to
every song, picture, and video that once again...everyone was
blown away by your work. My friends are still talking about the
famous "montage" and come over just to watch it...again.
You have such a rare and incredible talent that I feel so lucky
to have had you capture some of the biggest moments in my life
and I hope that this is only the beginning.
If I could find the right words to thank you, I would."

made the night perfect. I can't even begin to tell you in words
how amazing the video was and what an incredible job you did capturing
Jami's life. Her lifelong friends and family were at the party
and at the end of the video, EVERYONE was crying and literally
speechless. The party was almost 2 months ago and this video is
still talked about daily. I am not exaggerating when I tell you
that Jami and I have watched the video at least 30 times. We are
addicted and can't stop watching it.
I really wanted to send this email to tell you that you made Jami's
30th birthday incredibly special. We will treasure the video forever
and can't wait to have you do another big project for our family.
Thanks again!!!!!!!"

"Thank
you so much for the amazing work you had done on Madeline’s video
montage. You truly captured all of our special moments in such
a warm, memorable and priceless way. Seeing the final product
with the music we had chosen brought tears to our eyes and reminded
us of all of the great memories we have spent with our precious
little girl over the past 5 years. I know we’ll enjoy watching
it in the years to come!"

"In
the weeks and months leading up to my wedding day, it seemed that
everyone I met had an opinion. “Nobody likes lamb.” “I hope you
serve lamb!” “That color flatters no one.” “You seated me with HER?”
“Too many bridesmaids.” “Too few bridesmaids.” But no matter their
opinions on menus or color schemes, everyone seemed to agree on
one piece of advice: they all said that the day would go by in a
flash, gone before I knew it, and that I’d be left with nothing
but happy memories.
And Matt, I was SO sure that they were wrong. After all, hadn’t
I spent the better part of a year planning every detail of the big
day? Didn’t I have the seating chart memorized, and a wedding binder
that would put Martha Stewart to shame? There was no way that any
of it would slip by unnoticed—I would be different than all the
other brides who had tried to advise me. I wouldn’t forget a minute
of it.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. At the end of the day, here’s what I remembered
clearly: waking up, eating breakfast, and saying goodbye to my guests
at midnight. Everything else was a blur. A happy blur, to be sure,
but really nothing more than a bunch of smiling faces and a few
tears. And, had I never met you, that would be the extent of it.
I would forever remember our wedding day as one of the happiest
days of my life, with no details to flesh out the story in my mind.
For that reason, I can honestly say that your video is the best
gift that I have received as a new bride. Here are the gifts that
you gave me: the look on Rob’s face as my parents and I walked down
the aisle. My dad’s quickly-dried tear during our father-daughter
dance. The groomsmen lounging in their t-shirts 10 minutes before
photos were supposed to be taken. My ringbearer holding the ring
pillow upside down as he ran down the aisle. My grandmother, so
serene, as we said our vows. The toasts. The dances. The laughter.
Matt, you gave that all to me, and I don’t know how to begin to
thank you.
Your artistry, your patience, your professionalism and your graceful
charm are so very much appreciated. I feel so lucky that our paths
led us to each other and that you were able to play such an important
role in our wedding day. Thank you for holding my flowers, fluffing
my dress, (making sure that you took NO fat thigh shots!), smiling
so warmly, listening so patiently and working so diligently to make
sure that every aspect of our video was perfect. We will cherish
it “until death do us part”.

"It’s
hard to believe it’s been two years since that perfect day in
October when Ryan and I said “I Do.” Time goes by so quickly.
The flowers are gone, the music’s been played, and the vows exchanged,
yet I close my eyes and remember as if it were yesterday. I truly
feel I have you and our video to thank for that.When
Ryan and I chose you to capture our day I felt confident in our
decision, but never pictured in my wildest dreams that our video
would bring tears to my eyes for years to come. It’s as though
you got into our heads for the day and knew what was important
to us. This is not a skill someone can learn, but a skill one
is born with. Not only did you sense and capture every important
moment of our day, but continued with expertise and sensitivity
to produce a video that far exceeded our expectations.Our
video is a priceless treasure that we will cherish for a lifetime.
I ask that you show this letter to anyone contemplating a video
for their wedding day. I understand why couples question the necessity
of a video, as Ryan and I once did, but it’s a question that will
not truly be answered until they are years past the excitement
of that wonderful day and they have a video to reflect upon. If
I had to choose between pictures and video - it would be video.
And, I would choose you over and over again to do it.
Put
aside that you’re the best at what you do; your personality, sense
of humor and charm make you the kind of person anyone would want
to become friends with. How you manage to be this great guy and
still remain so professional is beyond me, but keep up the great
work! Thank you so much for everything."

"Katie and
I both wanted to thank you for the remarkable job you did putting
together our wedding video. The night it arrived we figured we'd
just watch a few minutes and then view the rest that weekend.
Instead we found we couldn't tear ourselves away from the screen,
so we both went into work the next day, very tired bu very happy.
The video truly caught the spirit of the day, and having shared
the highlight tape with friends and co-workers, I can tell you
people thought it was hands-down the best wedding video they'd
ever seen. In fact, one went so far as to suggest you send the
tape to Don Henley for use as a video for the song! Bottom line
- we are extremely pleased with your work, and your efforts on
our behalf, and hope you'll feel free to use us a reference for
anyone considering the use of Apogee in the future. Thanks again!!
All our best."

"We wanted to express our appreciation and gratitude to you
for our fabulous videography. We can't say enough about how wonderful
it is! The Highlights both 10 minute and 30 minute, as well as
the full length, are amazing. We've been watching them over and
over. The fact that you had it ready in less than a week and had
it to us for our second reception is an added plus to your ability
as a professional and as a super nice person. We are really "over
the moon" with the results. We especially liked the credits.
How creative of you!
We are really glad that we decided to do the video. Still pictures
are wonderful; but a video is priceless. It really is priceless.
Thank you for all of your hard work and your commitment to excellence.
Keep in touch. If you come to Florida, give us a call. Also, if
we can ever do anything to help you, please let us know."

"I've left a message on your
voice mail, but I wanted to write and thank you, not only for
bringing the video to us in time for Christmas Eve when Lisa and
Dan were home with us, but also for creating such an extraordinarily
beautiful memory of their wedding. Thanks to you, we were able
to view it together Christmas Eve, and the video was extraordinary.
You presentation and artistry were awesome, and your product is
clearly "not a routine wedding video". Lisa and Dan
left for Boston early Christmas Day, so that they could be with
his family, and we were extemely happy that they might take your
video with them to Boston so that that side of the family might
share the memory. They since have gone back to California, and
the video went with them. Thanks again for going out of your way
to make sure we received the video in time to present it to Lisa
and Dan on Christmas Eve. You made us all very, very happy!"

“As
you know, we were hesitant to hire a videographer. It was so important
to us to enjoy every moment of our wedding without feeling like
we were on camera or being directed to capture the ‘perfect’ shots.
Many guests mentioned that they didn’t even remember that there
was a videographer present. Somehow you managed to blend into the
party while capturing some very amazing and intimate memories. Your
proactive style, high client service and flexibility are to be commended.
More than just your professionalism, the final product was amazing!
You seemed to be everywhere, capturing intimate moments between
us when we didn’t even realize you were there. You also seemed to
make a point of capturing as many different guests as possible,
many of whom we had no photos. Our memories are not only of such
a beautiful day, but also of what a pleasure you were to work with
and meet. We wish you much continued success and happiness.” |

would like to thank you for working so hard to make our day perfect.
Often times when interacting with a service provider for a special
occasion, the best you can hope for is a hassle-free experience,
or someone who won’t be an intrusion. But working with you was actually
a joy - your diligence, friendliness and efficiency were a welcome
and calming presence on an otherwise nervous day! Please include
us as a reference, we’d be happy to recommend Apogee.” |

a note to thank you for the memories you captured for us at our

so unobtrusive, that we didn’t realize how much you recorded! We
have loved watching every moment over and over again. The quality
of the video is clear and vivid, and you seemed to be there at every
important moment. But what we were most thrilled with was the artistry
with which you wove it all together. What we most appreciated was
the way in which you “read” Elyse and Mike so well, and understood
the kind of presentation they wanted. We all enjoyed working with
you, and will be most happy to recommend you to anyone in the future!” |

hard to believe that we almost did not have a videographer at our
wedding. After our initial meeting, we felt like you were someone

share with you our “video expectations,” and the expertise to make
it so much more than we could have imagined. You completely understood
what we were looking for, and totally went above and beyond our
highest expectations. I can honestly say that if I were to do the
video myself, I wouldn’t change a single thing.” |

not know the joy, excitement, happiness and warmth that overcame
us as we watched the video for the first time. Thank you also for
allowing us to make suggestions and really put ourselves into our
video. We really have enjoyed getting to know you, and could not
have asked for a nicer person, or a better, more professional videographer!
You did a magnificent job, for which we are forever grateful.” |

and the beautiful feelings we share – knowing we are soul mates.

nothing we could ever have imagined!! We had a house full of people
and we were ALL crying. It was a WORK OF ART to say the least. The
detail and design of the video was just amazing. So many people
have borrowed our wedding video because they were told that it was
like nothing they had ever seen. I just want to thank you so much
for capturing EVERY SINGLE moment in such a way that it brought
us right back to that special day. We would recommend Apogee Video
to anyone. Actually, once our friends and family had seen the video,
your work spoke for itself!! Marc and I thank you so much, and we

"I do not
write testimonials. I figure 'you pay a good price, you get a
good product.' End of story. However, I had to make an exception.
We were very reluctant to have a videographer at the wedding.
We had been to weddings where the videographer(s) had been intrusive
and interrupted the natural flow of events, making for more of
a photo op than a celebration in and of itself. We also interviewed
several videographers and watched samples of their work, which
always seemed 'schmaltzy' and overdone (we couldn't figure out
why people would want waves rolling in if they hadn't been married
on the beach!). Ultimately we concluded that we'd rather be safe
than sorry, and took a chance on hiring a videographer. WOW! Did
we ever luck out!
You were so unobtrusive
that I only noticed you once during the entire event, and afterwards
wondered if you had stayed for the whole affair. When we received
the video all of our questions and concerns were answered. It
was everything we had hoped for, and so much more. You captured
the details and the essence of our celebration beautifully. Everything
was there just as it occured - no posing or waves. Watching the
video was like re-experiencing the wedding. It was perfectly edited,
and the artistic touches enhanced, rather than detracted, from
the content. I will recommend your artistry and professionalism
to anyone. Thank you! Feel free to use us as references!"

Matt. David and I do not know where to begin to thank you. When
we think back to our wedding, and the choices we made, we are so
pleased that we selected you to be our videographer. As a matter
of fact, we couldn't imagine having anyone else. You helped to make
our wedding a 'perfect day.' Your presence meant as much to us as
our video. You have a way of letting off a 'silent warmth.' People
are just happy to have you present, whether they realize you're
there or not. Thank you for your calming smiles. As for the video
- OH MY GOSH! You recorded those 'special glances' and faces that
we didn't even know we made. You caught those loving acts that make
our video a 'romance movie.' Our family and friends all wish they
could get married again so they could capture their love with a
'Matt Harnick Production.' You are truly gifted. You know we have
been in love with your work for a long time. Thank you for exceeding
our expectations (not an easy task!) We will forever treasure your
being at our wedding, and the incredible video-memory you have made

You really have quite an eye for detail - you captured so many intimate
moments like a hand on the waist, quiet glances, lots of kisses
(!) - details that no one else notices even when they're there.
You're amazing! And, everyone who's seen our video has said they
never even knew you were there. You blended into the crowd and were
still able to capture the real atmosphere of the entire day. Not
only is your work excellent, but you are a true pleasure to work
with. You're very easy-going and professional. We felt very comfortable
around you, and were able to be ourselves, all of which came through
on the video. Thank you so much for making our perfect day last
