I wanted a video montage to show at my parents’ 50th anniversary luncheon. When I came across
TOJ’s website and viewed some of their sample videos, I just knew they were the company I wanted to go
with. What I saw was light years better than anything similar I had ever seen. My only reservation was
that I live in New York and TOJ is across the country in San Diego. However, the distance between us
was never an obstacle. Cathie showed me how to easily convert and upload the photos I wanted directly
to TOJ’s website. And I simply mailed to her the few dusty old slides I couldn’t convert myself. Within
days, Cathie had put together a beautifully-edited first draft of the video, and she posted it to a
private link on their website for me to view and request changes to it. For me, this was the best part
of the experience, as it allowed me to truly feel like part of the creative process. It resulted in a
final product exactly as I had envisioned it … much better, actually! My parents and all of our guests
were just blown away! I strongly recommend TOJ to any one, and wherever they may live!

One of the best decisions I ever made was to hire Tears of Joy Video to create our 'family
videos'. Not only did they do a great job, but working with them was incredibly easy! No kidding
here... I simply mailed all my videos and pictures and they worked their magic.They did such a great
job that I hired them again a year or so later... and I'm basically planning on having them create a
new video for us every year or so. Everyone loves the videos, especially our children and it's one of
the best investments I've ever made.

I loved working with Tears of Joy Video! I have such a beautiful video of my son’s “edited” birth and
our first favorite pictures of him! I have watched it over and over and I still get TEARS every time I
see it! I treasure it so much. I am able to share it with my friends and family who were not able to be
present during that time, and that means so much to them. They all say they wished they had their
special events in a video montage like mine. And I tell them that it was so easy…I have this special
work of art all just by sending a CD of my favorite pictures and some recordings on a disc and Tears of
Joy did the rest! Though I live a distance away - it was no problem for them to work with me. Their
expertise and professionalism clearly show. I would recommend them to all who want their memories
treasured for a lifetime.
