Are you a commercial studio or a home-based business?
We are a home-based business. When you hire Turquoise Video Productions, you get Adrianne and Aytek; the owners. We shoot, edit and create all our wedding videos.
What types, such as unedited footage or special effects, of videography do you offer?
We offer EVERYTHING. Each couple had different ideas and concepts of vidoegraphy. You tell us what you want and we'll give you that. Pretty easy,r ight?
Describe any special editing services you offer:
Every wedding video get an "intro". That's what we call the wedding day highlight video. We take all the special moments from your wedding day and create an beautiful "wedding music video".
Do you have lighting equipment to accommodate a more dimly-lit event?
Our Sony PD-170 DV 3CCD cameras record remarkably well in very dim lit situations. We do use an on-camera light if no light is available.
How many videographers do you work with?
My husband and I are the primary videographers. If the wedding requires 3 cameras, we have a few additional camera operators we work with.
Does the client get to meet the videographers before the event?
I always like to meet with the bride and groom before the wedding. This usually happens when we do the initial consultation. And sometimes one more time a week or two before the wedding.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
At every wedding we shoot, either Adrianne or Aytek or both will be there. Guaranteed.
Do you book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
Not usually more than one a day, but we do often shoot more than one wedding a weekend.
Do you have a replacement videographer in case you become unavailable on the event day?
Yes, we have a number of back up videographers that we'd call. In 5 years of business, that have NEVER been an issue. (knock on wood!)
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
At least 3 cameras, 2 sets of wireless microphones, 4 - 4 hours camera batteries, many DV tapes, on-camera light and battery, 2 tripods and tape.
Do you bring backup equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes. we have 1 complete back up system.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
A typical wedding day for us is about 7 hours. We really don't require a break for that. If the wedding day is longer, we'll (Adrianne & Aytek) give each other a break.
Do you charge overtime?
We give up to 1 hour over the time you purchase. After that, we do charge by the 1/2 hour.
Do you give access to your raw footage?
Yes. You can buy the DV tapes or DVDs.
Do you reserve the right to use the video in the future for promotions, contents, etc.?
Yes, there is a section on our contract that states we can use your footage for promotions. You are welcome to ask us not to. We respect your wishes.
Is the client involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does the client have in editing?
No, each couple hires us based on our style therefore giving input to how we create limits our ability.
How long does it take for the client to get the final video?
About 6 weeks after the wedding. Sometimes sooner and sometime a little longer.
