Videography

Our videography coverage includes;
   - Two manned cameras at the ceremony (See Below)
   - Quick Turn-around (usually 10 days)
   - Professional Digital Editing
   - Personalized DVD jacket & label
   - Wireless microphone on the groom
   - Your choice of music

We start with a basic video package but offer add-ons for elegance or can customize coverage to meet your budget.
   - We hope you appreciate that we put cost info here, unlike others who
     force you to call to talk to a salesman to get such basic information.

Seeing a DVD sample is as important as price.
   - You want to make sure you like the filming style and editing techniques
     as much as the price.

Things to know about videography companies;
   - Are the videographers sub-contractors or employees of the company?
   - Are the videographers doing this “on-the-side” or is this their full-time job?
   - Does the shooter do the editing?
        so the editor knows what special shots the shooter took
        so the shooter knows what shots the editor requires
   - Is the editing begun immediately while the details are still
     fresh in the videographer’s mind?
   - Some offer lower cost "non-edited" or "in-camera" editing. Make sure you
     understand what this means as most likely you will not get what you expect.

Why 2 Manned Cameras at the Ceremony?(scroll down) 

A second camera is not a gimmick to charge a higher price nor a luxury. 
      - It is a necessity.                                                                                                   

We have one manned stationary video camera on a tri-pod in the back and a mobile video camera near the altar. The mobile camera's footage can't be used while it is moving because the shot is unsteady. If you don't have another view, you will either have the unsteady footage in your video or the videographer will stay in the less than perfect position for the entire ceremony.

Note: the mobile camera moves several times;
1) At the brides arrival at the ceremony
2) After the bride is handed off to the groom at the alter
3) For the exchange of vows
4) For the exchange of rings
5) When the married couple walks back down the aisle
6) If the shot becomes blocked or otherwise poor
