About
Our wedding videos combine a photojournalistic and cinematic style. Our goal is to be observers, who capture your wedding day as it naturally unfolds. The day of your wedding, we stay with you from the moment you start getting ready, to the time you leave the reception.

We feel it’s impossible to truly capture the essence and emotion of the day without being there from start to finish. Every wedding has a story, and our job is to tell yours. When editing your wedding video, we use special effects only to enhance your story.

Tips and Advice
1)  View samples!!!  Whether it's a photographer or videographer, you should never hire someone without seeing samples of their work.  We are very candid with clients.  We've had brides say, "we love your work but you're out of our price range so we're just going to use so-and-so who likes to shoot video."  The first thing we ask is, have you seen their work?  If we don't fit within your budget, or style even, we'd rather recommend a "competitor" than see you end up with a sub-par wedding video.

2)  Be true to yourself.  A seasoned videographer will be able to edit wedding videos to fit many different personalities, but most of us do tend to lean towards a particular style.  Be sure to meet with any videographer that you're considering hiring so you can discuss your options and learn more about their style.  The more we know about the look and feel you want in your video, the happier you'll be in the end.

3)  Equipment is important, but it's not everything.  Yes, you want to make sure your videographer is using more than a consumer level fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand video camera.  And yes, you want to make sure they'll use wireless microphones or some kind of recording device so you'll actually be able to hear your vows on your video.  But, keep in mind, just because someone shoots in HD or rattles off all of their name brand gear doesn't guarantee a good final product.  There's more to being a good videographer and editor than just having good equipment.  You have to have an "eye" for it.  So, how do you know if someone does in fact have an "eye" for it?  Refer back to tip #1.
