Do I need more than one camera?
Most of the time one camera can capture the action except in a church where common courtesy means the camera is stationary on a tripod and certain shots are unobtainable, like the groom's and parent's expressions during the vows. A second camera certainly makes viewing more dynamic and interesting.

Is DVD extra?
Yes. There is far more work in producing a properly authored DVD than making a VHS tape. However the images and sound are much clearer on a DVD and for archival purposes you are looking at 200 years according to SONY vs 20 years approx with tape. There are two different ways to produce a DVD, hence differing costs. Ask us!

Do you need lighting?
With our latest broadcast digital cameras we do not need to light up a church, however there are a few very dimly lit reception venues where a small on camera light is sometimes needed, with the trade off being a decent picture.

Why should I hire a professional when my uncle can tape it for free?
Consumer (and even low-end inexpensive "pro") videos fail due to poor audio, inadequate planning and co-ordination to blend with the flow of the event, use of only one camera, shaky images, and insufficient battery capacity. Like photography, simple videos done by the guests are a nice adjunct to, but no substitute for, the professional video. There is no substitute for a professional who comes prepared with the right knowledge and equipment, respects the rules of your ceremony, and is focused on creating your video and is not there to "party."
Some believe that asking a guest to make the official video is bad manners, and if the video fails, the relationship is tarnished. Clergy have admitted that most problems with intrusive video occur with guests, not professional videographers

Will you distract our guests during the ceremony or reception?
Absolutely not! Our wireless microphones eliminate the hassle of messy wires. We offer single and multiple camera options to ensure we capture everything important while remaining unobtrusive. If you look objectively, you will see that photography has much more impact than video on the nature and flow of the wedding day. Video has no flash, no shutter or winder noise, no posing, and no commands to smile.

Some of your competition are cheaper than you.
Cheap videos can be produced if shot "in camera" in other words minimal editing. Most of the work in producing a masterpiece is done in the edit suite and we spend not hours but days to weave our magic.
We offer several packages to bring our services within the range of most brides. A rule of thumb is the lower the cost of the video the less editing (creative artistry) is included. We're not the cheapest around, nor the most expensive, but definitely the best value.
Quality isn't expensive, it's priceless.
We've got a question for you: Considering that you have just one opportunity to get your wedding video done right, can you afford to cut corners?
