HISTORY;
In 1982, Tony & Celeste Horpel founded Alpha Video Services and began offering videotaped weddings in Orange County, Southern California. At that time, video weddings were virtually unknown.
In 1986, with a crew of nine, we taped 300 weddings. Later that year, our extensive experience led to the production and distribution of the popular how-to video, “A Professional Approach to Video Weddings”. This instructional video was marketed to budding videographers throughout the country in Videomaker Magazine and quickly became the standard for dynamic video wedding coverage and production. Alpha Video Services pioneered many of the techniques and features used by wedding videographers today. We were excellent and well-known for our quality weddings. So in that fourth year, we realized that we had found our niche; This is when we decided to specialize and advertise only in Weddings.
In 1990, after having adopted a child, we realized we were way too busy to be able to also pay attention to both a business and a child. We chose to go into something else that would allow Tony to be home at night & weekends. It was hard, because we were well-known and sought-after, but had priorities of “family first”.
Now our three children are grown! We started back up, here in Spokane, in January, 2010 with the same name, Alpha Video Services. Now in 2012, we have 10 years experience and about 750 weddings and events under our belts. We love what we do, we know what we’re doing, AND WE’RE GOOD AT IT!
We love Weddings!
We have a special love for weddings because this day is one of life’s few times that can be shared with others, and yet also be called our own at the same time. When we shoot a wedding, we are so moved by the joy of everyone there. It’s contagious! It is a thrill to be around the excitement of weddings. We come alive when we shoot.
It is the first wonderful story of a couple’s life. We’ve decided that there is only one other occasion that can compete with weddings and the happiness they bring, and that is watching your child be born. Both events change life forever. Both bring equal, and yet different emotions, and they stand out as a momentous event that will be cherished the rest of one’s life.
