What primary style, such as traditional or documentary, do you identify with?
We don't like to seclude ourselves to one particular style. Your wedding is unique and so are each of our videos.
|
Are you a commercial studio or home-based business?
A mix of both. Our studios are usually for films, and since editing is such a long process, we utilize a home office for most Post-Production to give your project personal attention.
|
What types, such as unedited footage or special effects, of videography do you offer?
Everything depending on the wedding's budget. From unedited footage to fully professional productions with several cameras, videographers and steadicams.
|
Describe any special editing services you offer:
If we can edit motion pictures professionally, your wedding will certainly reflect our experience. We can add special effects along with BluRay production and online viewing before we ship your DVD.
|
Do you have lighting equipment to accommodate a more dimly-lit event?
Yes, but usually do not like to use them because of intrusiveness. We only use them in very dark situations.
|
Does the bride get to meet the videographers before the wedding?
Of Course! We want to meet you too!
|
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
We wouldn't be much of a production company if not.
|
Do you book yourself for more than one wedding in a day? Weekend?
Never. Things get too hectic. Occasionally the same Weekend.
|
Do you have a replacement videographer in case you become unavailable on the wedding day?
Always. We get sick sometimes too.
|
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
Everything and anything we can think of in addition to our standard list. You never know when that extra piece of equipment will come in handy.
|
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Definitely, even newer equipment can fail or give problems.
|
Do you require a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party provide your meal?
Yes. Usually it is not a problem, but we can bring our own food if need be.
|
How many breaks do you usually take throughout the day?
We usually don't get many. Depends on the wedding and availability of down time. If the schedule is too tight, we will bring additional employees to fill in.
|
Do you charge overtime?
No need. Our services are a onetime fee.
|
Do you give access to your raw footage?
Yes, for an additional fee.
|
Do you reserve the right to use a video in the future for promotions, contests, etc.?
Yes unless agreed otherwise.
|
Is the bride involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does the bride have in editing?
Absolutely. We post each video online for review before creating your DVDs.
|
How long does it take for the bride to get the video?
Guaranteed 60 days or less.

Additional Questions and Answers
Do you come to the rehearsals?
Usually as long as it is somewhat local.
What kind of music do you use?
We use laptops to professionally record the actual music being played during your dances and events. Relying on camera microphones and tapes is not enough for us. Perfection can only be achieved by recording the music through a direct wire, not a microphone.
Why is editing included in the video costs? Why not just record onto a DVD?
Editing adds appeal and interest to your wedding video that raw footage cannot capture. To put it in relation with motion pictures, if movies were not edited, usually no one would want to watch them. Besides, with multiple cameras, editing is always essential. Similar to the boring home video
cliché, no one wants to fast forward through a video and just watch the good parts. We take each camera’s best scenes and make an enjoyable and emotional documentary of your event.
