Describe any special editing services you offer:

The cameras we use do well in low-light situations with the assistance of an on-camera light, eliminating the need for big unsightly light stands.
How many videographers do you work with?
I come to every wedding with an assistant.
Does the client get to meet the videographers before the event?

I am there personally at every wedding

Only the time to eat.

Over time is billed at $100 per hour
Do you give access to your raw footage?
If client wishes to have the raw footage, they can opt to include this in their package
Do you reserve the right to use the video in the future for promotions, contents, etc.?
I do, and I often use my best wedding footage to create my demo.
Is the client involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does the client have in editing?
I have full control over the editing. However, I encourage clients to fill me in on their favorite styles of music which affects the editing pace and style.
