Proper Vision Media Services, LLC
Serving all of NJ, and Parts of PA & DE!
Hi, I'm Elizabeth Doty!
I'll be your LEAD videographer.
I can’t wait to connect with you and hear more about your wedding day or special event. We can connect through Zoom, a phone call, or email, whatever feels most comfortable for you. First, send in your inquiry form below and I will make sure we have your date available.
I created Proper Vision Media Services in 2021, but I’ve been filming weddings for over 10 years. What started while attending film school in Arkansas eventually grew into a true passion for capturing meaningful, emotional moments.
I graduated with a four-year film degree and a minor in creative writing, and eventually made my way to New Jersey to be with my husband, Chris. We currently live in Berlin, New Jersey, and I regularly travel throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware for weddings.
Outside of filmmaking, I love fitness, music, dancing, and building community connections wherever I go. I can't wait to bring a fun, relaxed energy to your wedding day experience.
I can’t wait to meet you and take part celebrating your story.
Why Should You Hire Me?
Every videographer approaches the wedding day a little differently. I aim to always stay true to the moment, without doing a whole lot of posing. Now we will do SOME posing, but I won't have you feeling like 2 actors in a film. You'll never hear me calling, "action!" haha. I will be filming constantly to capture you in your most natural state... giggling... kissing one another. Doing the most epic, wedding day fist bump.
I work very well with photographers. I actually AM a photographer (I do headshots, portraits, couple, and family photoshoots, etc. ) so I understand the need for your photo team to really nail their shots. I make lots of space for them to do their thang. This is a once in a lifetime moment. I won't be making their job harder. If anything, me and my second will do everything we can to make their day easier, too. My favorite collaborators on the wedding day is the photography team!
I pride myself on working well with all wedding vendors and with the wedding venue or church staff. We are a low conflict team because y'all don't need any excess stress or burden on a day that should be magic.
Love is magic. It's essence has been studied for centuries. I am so honored to be chosen for such a huge day in your timelines, where two become one! It's a HUGE deal!
What sets us apart from another wedding video team?
-
We create all of our own music in-house. You'll receive access to download all songs that are in your final highlight video so you can keep them forever.
-
We do not add any spoken audio into your Highlight Video. Many videographers DO add spoken audio to videos, but we don't do that. This audio comes from vows at your wedding ceremony, or moments when you see each other for your first look, or finally, audio from speeches at your reception. We just stick to creating an epic, composed video with music. If you get the Deluxe Package, you'll receive all audio that is precious to you from your big day. Otherwise... it's just music.
-
We try to be very conscious of how we work alongside your amazing vendors, especially your photography team! They need to capture these incredible moments on your big day, too! We work well with others and treat all vendors with kindness and respect.
-
We know how to blend in by reading the room. We also know how to step up to the plate and move us forward so we (us and your photo team) can capture your photos and videos.
-
It is my personal goal to add as many of your loved ones faces into your highlight video. With full coverage video, we are able to capture video of most or all guests that attend your wedding. We want to incorporate as many of your loved ones into your video.
-
We rock out the true to life or true to color style of shooting and editing. You'll see colors enhanced but we always try to make those colors true to what colors you'll see on your big day.

Description of The Elements of Our Two Video Packages
Your Highlight Video
This video is created by using key moments from your wedding day to create a film that shows the beginning, middle, and end of your special day. There is no "spoken audio," in this video, there is only music.
Music is chosen based on info about what type of music you two enjoy.
This video is 10 minutes or more in length.
The Ceremony Video
This is a video created with multiple angles and full audio. We use an audio device on our groom's jacket, the officiant's collar, and we plug into the DJ's system if that is available.
You'll see the full ceremony from beginning to end in this video. It's a precious keepsake.
Most videos range from 10 to 20 minutes in length. But for some ceremonies you will see it reach 1 hour in length.
The Reception Highlights Video
This is an amazing video to have. It showcases these 3 timeframes in your wedding reception: the entrances couple, wedding party, and parents of the wedding couple into the reception hall, all special dances (the first dance for the wedding couple, and parent dances), and finally, any speeches and/ or prayers are recorded.
The final video is often around 20 minutes to upwards of 45 minutes, depending on the length of speeches.
Please note, the cutting of the wedding cake will be in the highlight video and will not be in this reception highlights video.
The FOMO or Fear of Missing Out Video
This is a great video to have! It has all usable video clips from your big day, from beginning to end. It is unedited, raw video footage from your wedding.
What is not included: there is no content that is currently in your ceremony video or reception highlights video. There is also no content that captures aesthetics or design elements from your wedding. Those aesthetic shots will be within your highlight video.
The length of these FOMO videos usually run to 45 minutes to upwards of an hour and a half. This has raw audio and video from the day.

Our Process
1
Contact Elizabeth, verify if she has your date available.
If your date is available, Elizabeth will set up a chat with those who will be signing the contract and making the payments for video services.
She can set up a phone call, a video chat, OR if you feel more comfortable, you can text with her or email her. She's not picky about how you decide to communicate with her!
2
After your initial convo, she will send you a blank contract for you to look over...
Once you get that contract, just take a look through the helpful page she sends with it that acts as a summary of what is actually within the contract... It's sort of like a short and sweet cheat sheet. Say that 10 times fast!
Once you and your future spouse reads over the initial synopsis document, you can read through the contract too and see the ins and outs of the agreement.
This is not your actual contract. When you are ready to move forward, you can share that with Elizabeth.
She will hold the wedding date for 7 full days AFTER your initial conversation with you about your big day. After 7 days, she has the right and ability to give this date to another couple who wants to book this date.
3
Sign the contract and send your first payment. You will also have dates set for when you will pay your other payments.
You can pay all once if you want to, or you can have the option to make 3 payments.
Your first payment is 40 percent and is a non-refundable payment that reserves this wedding date. If at any time you'd like to back out of the agreement, a cancellation contract will be sent and the current contract will be annulled.
The 40 percent will not be refunded under any circumstances, so make sure you LOVE Elizabeth and her videos before you move forward.
