Do you have lighting equipment to accommodate a more dimly-lit event?
On camera lighting is your choice, obviously more light better video, however some individuals do not care for bright lights. Advanced digital backlighting can be added in post production and we always have bright halogen lighting.
How many videographers do you work with?
Two on the day of the event and two other back ups in case of a sick call.
Does the client get to meet the videographers before the event?
Absolutely, we like to meet with the bride as many times as she requests to work out any last minute details that may pop up.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
I am personally at each and every wedding we produce. That is why we only accept no more than two events per month. Quality is better for our reputation than quantity.

Definitely not, we only book a maximum of two events each month

We usually take one break when dinner is served. I have yet to video someone that likes to be seen eating!

We set our prices by an agreed upon salary, there is no overtime. All of our clients have a pre arranged fee.

All raw digital footage is available for purchase after the final delivery of payment for the services. This is pre arranged and in writing in the agreement.
Do you reserve the right to use the video in the future for promotions, contents, etc.?
We would like to, however some clients have specifically written into the agreement for this to remain private

All our clients have the option of specifically stating in the agreement how they want their video to be produced. This is all negotiated in the agreement. Extra fees are attached for personalized editing.

It takes 4-6 weeks for us to present the final production. If a special date is needed we incorperate that into the agreement.
