If you are using the pavilion for your wedding, I would highly recommend STVS, or any outside videographer over Disney. Disney videography uses mounted cameras, which are at an odd angle. They look down on you from above, instead of being at eye level to catch all expressions. And I've heard that they are operated by hourly employees, without much training, and that there is high turnover in this department. With our videographer, we know that there are people behind each camera, not one guy working all 3 from a control room. And STVS uses digital broadcast quality cameras, so it is a higher quality camera itself than those mounted in the pavilion. When you get a sample from Disney, make sure you ask for a finished product, not a montage. The montage will be lovely, but not what you'll actually get - they cut their best shots from 3 or 4 weddings and pieced them together. With a sample finished product you'll be able to see the quality of their work, and it doesn't hold up to that of any of the other vendors we looked at.
We picked STVS for several reasons (you can actually read our reasons on
www.stvsweddings.com/gallery ). We wanted a reasonably priced videographer. We wanted a videographer that used broadcast quality digital cameras (which Disney doesn't). Disney can make a DVD for you, but since their cameras aren't the broadcast quality digital ones, the DVD quality won't be as nice as those you would get from an outside vendor. We wanted a videographer who could minimize the glare from that big window, which STVS seemed to do. They've now tinted the glass, but it doesn't really help if you're having a daytime wedding, from what Stan has told us. The light is still overpowering.
We definitely made the right choice to go with STVS. Stan & Bonnie were nice, funny, yet unobtrusive on our wedding day.
Cheers!
