John Koterba has been video taping

notables as Charles Russell
(Director of the movie, The
Mask , Baseball super star,
Rondell White and
Diane and Lloyd Ecclestone of Palm
Beach to name a few.
Recommended by the most famous
photographers in Palm Beach such as:
Davidoff Studios, Mort Kay,
Lucien Capehart and others .
John and Lightning Videos is
also recommended by the world famous
Mar a Lago Club, Palm Beach
and The Ritz Carlton
in Key Biscayne Florida. We
genuinely care about your perfect
wedding video and we will capture
the happiness, love, and emotion of
your wedding day.
From the smallest detail to the
largest, we will capture your
wedding day in a high quality
recording that will be enjoyable to
watch over and over again for years
to come.
Lightning Videos are the first to
arrive on your special day to video
the beauty of the church, synagogue
or grounds, the bride and groom, the
wedding party, and guests arriving.
During the ceremony generally two
cameras are used, one camera is
placed up front with the bride and
groom so that we have close ups of
your faces, the ring exchange, the
first kiss as Mr. & Mrs., and the
faces of your guests.
The second camera is placed in the
rear of the building to show the
beauty of the ceremony that your
guests are seeing.
(We also offer a one camera package
of the ceremony.)
We use wireless microphones to
capture all the audio of the
ceremony, especially the vows, which
usually no one hears except the
wedding party.
At the reception we capture your
guests arriving, cocktail hour, and
the beauty of the reception area,
especially the decorations, cake,
band, DJ, or orchestra, and gifts.
During the reception we record the
introductions, dances, bouquet and
garter toss, guest comments and
remarks from the bride and groom at
the end of the day. We also stay to
the end of the reception as we have
heard from several couples through
25 years of videotaping weddings,
that they were sorry that they did
not have their videographer or
photographer stay till the end as
this was when many memorable things
happened that was not recorded.
Whether you have a band, DJ, or
orchestra, we plug into their audio
system so the audio is clear and not
just a room full of noise.
