Our History: Cavalier Videography was formed in 1994 by Gordon Croll . After receiving a B. A. in Video Production from the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication at the University of Alabama in 1994 "Gordie" decided to put his knowledge to the test and began videotaping weddings and training videos that first summer. In the fall of 1994 he teamed up with Cavalier Reporting, the largest court reporting firm in Central Virginia, to help them start a video department that could cover their ever growing video deposition needs. From Cavalier Reporting, Cavalier Videography was born and has since become a full time video production house that can cover almost any video need.

Since starting Cavalier Videography, he has personally videotaped hundreds of weddings and over one thousand depositions. "It's very important that the person taping your wedding has a lot of experience", says Gordon. "Weddings are one of the most challenging things to shoot properly. Things can change without a moment's notice, and you must constantly be aware of what is going on and be able to instantly adapt to the situation. After all, you're capturing a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you have only one chance to get it right."

Our philosophy: In covering weddings and court reporting is to remain an unobtrusive observer of the events and not try to "take-over" and orchestrate the activities. We take a documentary style approach to your video which we feel most accurately captures the sights, sounds, and emotions of your event.

Our Equipment: We use the latest digital video cameras to capture the events images with amazing sharpness and clarity. These 3-chip broadcast quality cameras are similar to the ones that TV stations use. They offer outstanding low-light performance which is especially important in dark interiors.

How your video sounds is just as important as how it looks, so we use a variety of microphones to make sure you can hear the soft and loud moments of every event. And when it comes to putting it all together our state-of-the-art digital editing system gives us the tools to create a video you can play for years to come.
