FAQ

Audio
During the ceremony, We mic both the minister and groom to insure the best audio possible on the vows.

Highlights
This montage is the best moments of your wedding day, typically 2-4 minutes long, included on the DVD and is also posted online for friends and family to view.  Codes are available to embed the video on sites such as Facebook.

Lighting
We stay as unobtrusive as possible and try to avoid an on-camera light when possible, so we may set up some discrete lights around the reception site to improve image quality without call attention to ourselves.

Postproduction
We use Apple’s Final Cut Pro Studio and Adobe CS4 for all of our post production
All of our videos are edited with music and titles.  The DVD’s come chapter marked.

Cameras
We use HDV 1080i cameras.

Personal requests
We do our best to capture all the moments but if something has extra special significance: a song, a person, picture, performance, item or any other special request, let us know.  You have the option to  make music requests, colors choices and provide quotes, all need to be provided prior to or on your wedding day.

Two Camera Coverage
One camera coverage will capture all your days events but to really get the most out of each moment, two shooters is a good choice.   Two videographers doubles your coverage.  It helps insure that both the men and women get covered during prep (if they are some distance apart and schedules are tight).  It helps with adding a variety of angles at the ceremony (especially good for Catholic Ceremonies).  One camera can shoot down the isle while the other one captures the faces of the guests and other detail shots.  It also helps with the photo session, as one shooter can be getting the cocktail hour while the other covers the remaining time at the photo session.  During speeches it helps by showing the speaker as well as the two of you or the guests reactions.
