Are you a commercial studio or a home-based business?
Home-based
What types, such as unedited footage or special effects, of videography do you offer?
Everything I give my clients is completely edited with all-digital technology. The bride has a choice of aspect ratios (widescreen or full screen) and have the benefit of two videographers for the best video quality.
Describe any special editing services you offer:
I am sensitive to the desires of the client and will edit their video based on their preferences. For instance, some clients ask for every moment of watchable footage to be put on the DVD, while others ask that I use my own judgement in selecting the best and most interesting footage of the moment to moment aspects of the footage. (Everyone gets every second of the important events.) I can also edit previously shot footage, i.e. put your old video tapes on DVD.
Do you have lighting equipment to accommodate a more dimly-lit event?
I feel that lighting during the ceremony is inappropriate. I have on-camera LED lighting for dimly lit receptions and other events. We do not use large production equipment during a wedding or special event to minimize our presence.
How many videographers do you work with?
I personally operate the primary camera and the second manned camera is manned by my assistant who was trained by me.
Does the client get to meet the videographers before the event?
Absolutely, I work closely with my clients to ensure that I provide the type of video that they desire and so they can feel comfortable with me.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
YES
Do you book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
I never overbook weddings. I only reserve one wedding per day so that I can concentrate exclusively on YOUR wedding.
Do you have a replacement videographer in case you become unavailable on the event day?
Yes
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
I use Sony HDR-FX1000 HD/SD cameras and my steadicam for every event, regardless of package or price. I bring everything that I will need to record all the action on video, including cameras, recording equipment, cables, and lights.
Do you bring backup equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Absolutely
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
Only those necessary. My assistant and I take turns during breaks to ensure that every moment of your day is captured on video.
Do you charge overtime?
This depends on the package.
Do you give access to your raw footage?
No, but I will include all watchable footage for any client who desires it.
Do you reserve the right to use the video in the future for promotions, contents, etc.?
Yes, but I ask permission of the bride and groom.
Is the client involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does the client have in editing?
Yes. Because I work closely with the bride before the day of the wedding, I know what kind of video editing she desires and what kind of program will delight her. I am always available to my clients; my job is to provide a personalized video program that will exceed your expectations.
How long does it take for the client to get the final video?
Usually within 6-12 weeks.
