Question:
What are your basic wedding video services?

Answer:
For your wedding video, we use 3 camera angles to capture your special moment. Normally, cameras are positioned...

Camera 1: Positioned to the rear of the audience, and is used as a stationary "catch-all" camera.

Camera 2: Located facing the audience in order to view the bride and groom. This allows a camera operator to capture family members and close-ups of the wedding ceremony.

Camera 3: Is used as a "roaming" camera to capture miscellaneous shots that other cameras have difficulty seeing. This would include the bride walking down the aisle, candid shots, and soloists.

We are careful to record your ceremony without being disruptive. We will be quiet and discrete.

Video recording is started about 10 to 15 minutes before principle events (for example: seating of grandparents/parents). This allows time to insert titles into the video and for you to enjoy some your pre-wedding music that you probably did not get to experience.

After the wedding, the tapes are digitally edited together into a single, continuous "movie". Titles and special effects are added.

The finished video is delivered to you within 2 weeks. Three (3) copies of the DVD will be supplied. Additional copies are available at an extra charge.

Question:
What do I need to supply?

We will ask you to fill out a form with information about the wedding that will include all of the names of the wedding party and other information. We like to have access to the wedding ceremony location about 2 hours prior to the start of the service. This will allow us to set cameras to have the best view of the service, and to check out lighting and sound.

Please keep in mind that dim lighting is not recommended, but can be accommodated. A well lit ceremony will allow the video to be captured for maximum quality, and also allows the audience to best view the wedding.

Question:
What equipment do you use?

All of our cameras are high quality Sony Hi-Definition, wide screen format cameras. Don't worry, if you do not have wide-screen or hi-definition, your video can still be viewed with standard definition TV. These cameras produce a high stable-quality video with excellent color. Most consumer grade video equipment result is much lower quality images.

All cameras are mounted on tripods to achieve smooth recording. Panning, zooming, and excessive camera movement is minimized in order to provide a high quality video.

After the wedding, the best shots from the 3 cameras are edited together into a single, continuous video. We use digital editing equipment that is the same type of video editing software that many professionals use.

Audio is captured as well using our audio equipment, or we can patch into the sound system of the church (or location) if available.
