FAQ

Why choose one company who offers both photography & videography?
Our "one stop shop" style of offering both photography and videography means: (1) We can offer a better combined price compared to hiring separate companies for each service. (2) We have the opportunity to setup more creative poses for both photography and video. (3) We can have control of where the photographer or videographer is throughout, ensuring that one or the other does not interfere with the others shot.

How many camera operators do you use?
Depending on the package you choose, there will be one or two videographers and/or one or two photographers to cover your wedding.

What kind of equipment do you use?
We use high quality, professional 3ccd MiniDV Camcorders that are rated to be one of the best for event videography. These camcorders have one of the best low-light rating, allowing us to capture almost all of our shots without the use of obtrusive lighting equipment. For our photography we use high quality Digital SLR cameras.

Do you use professional equipment?
Yes. Besides the professional video and photo cameras that we use, we also use wireless microphones, professional on camera microphones and the latest digital editing equipment. We strive to stay on top of the latest technology and equipment.

Do you have backup equipment?
Yes, for video, we always have at least two cameras on hand. We also have a minimum of two still cameras for our photographers to ensure a backup is there in case of emergency. Above the cameras themselves, we always have plenty of backup batteries and other equipment that is necessary to keep on hand.

Do you offer High Definition video or High Definition DVD yet?
At this time we do not offer high definition (HD) services. We will be offering these services soon, but we feel that until there is a proper format and method to provide the final product on, it is not worth the extra cost to our customers to use HD when you cannot fully enjoy it in HD yet. We hope that the battle between Blue-Ray and HD-DVD discs can be settled quickly, so that we all can move forward into the future of home video presentation - High Definition!

How do you keep from distracting our guests?
During the ceremony, we use wireless microphones to clearly capture the words of the officiate and the vows of the bride and groom, so there are no cables. Our digital video cameras perform extremely well in low light situations, so additional lighting is not needed. We will dress professionally and in proper attire for your wedding. For the most part, we try to blend in with your guests.

What is the running time of our video?
Your finished video will depend on the package, but typical run times are between 60 and 90 minutes total, with scenes from your ceremony and reception as well as a highlight montage to show the highlights of your day. We sort through many hours of footage from your wedding day to ensure that the best scenes make up your video and tell a wonderful story. Also, you will receive the original Mini-DV cassette tapes for you to have as a back-up.

How long will it take to get our pictures & video?
Our goal is to get you your pictures and video finished as quickly as possible. We also want to ensure the highest quality edit and finished product that we can, which can take a decent amount of time to complete. With that said, we strive to get you your finished product within 2 months of your wedding.
