First it was videography. Then it was audio and podcasting. Now it's photography and 360 degree videography and photography.
From the beginning
Al has been in video production for over 30 years. He launched his production company in 1987, producing thousands of weddings, events and corporate productions. He has garnered dozens of Creative Excellence, Telly, and Vision Awards and been included in EventDV Magazine’s Top 25 Most Influential Videographers in the country, twice. Al and his wife Kathy launched the first podcast for wedding videographers in 2005, producing dozens of episodes of “WedVidTalk.com,” downloaded in 53 countries over a five year run. The podcast was so successful that the wedding and event industry international association WEVA hired him to produce podcasts for their membership exclusively.
