Two questions to consider when choosing a wedding video package;

1) Will we be showing alot of people our DVD or will we just be watching it ourselves?

If you want to save some money, and only want the footage for personal viewing, get the unedited footage. You will get all the tapes at the end of the night, and if you have a mini-dv camcorder, you can watch your wedding in the honeymoon suite that night!

The raw footage can be edited later, at an extra cost, putting all the best parts on a DVD. Or putting all the footage on a DVD (this would be much lower in cost- $20 per tape) then you could watch the footage anywhere there is a DVD player.

If you want to show friends, co-workers and relatives the wedding, all our edited packages come with a short highlights section, guaranteed not to bore anyone.

The "Silver" package uses video still frames over music, to make a slideshow type highlights beginning.

The "Gold" package has a nicely edited motion video with effects, over your first dance music, this highlights section is put on the beginning and end of the DVD .

The "Platinum" package has an exquisitely produced highlights section with music, video, and talking sections edited into a showpiece.
The "Platinum" package allows the Bride or Groom to be in on editing process and approve every scene and sound bite used.

The "Highlights" have proven to be very popular, showing the beauty of your wedding in just a few minutes.

2) "How would we feel if the wedding video got ruined?" Or "How important is our wedding video to us?"

The best advice I can give you is to hire someone with extensive experience. I have seen several videos ruined by companies sending out shooters with limited wedding video production skills (Or well intentioned family members offering to do it as a gift). It takes a very dedicated attentive professional to capture all day long and edit a beautiful award winning wedding video/DVD

The more cameras used the more security you will have in case a camera has a catastrophic failure during the day. Electronic components can fail at any time, so multicamera packages may be worth the extra money to be sure you have a video to share for generations to come.

The added bonus is multiple cameras can get many more angles and shots, when expertly edited and blended together makes the video much more interesting for you and your family/friends to watch.

The different prices reflect the amount of time and equipment used to produce your event. The higher the price of the package the more time is spent on it. The Best "Platinum Package" has the best of everything. It gives you the security of multiple video and audio recordings happening simultaneously, you get a "Showpiece" highlight video, with lots of romantic techniques, a fully edited long version, and to make sure you like every minute and every scene the Bride or Groom gets to approve the final edit! (Cutting out any scenes they don't like) Top this off with all the raw footage on separate DVD's, and 10 finished DVD's so you will have plenty to give away and keep a few for yourself and maybe put one in a safety deposit box.

The unedited packages reflect a basic documentary style that keep the memories alive, with a price that is easy on the wallet.

I have been shooting video since 1981, have won several national awards for wedding video productions and have spoken at numerous video seminars and conferences on wedding techniques. Over the years I have acquired the very best equipment for shooting and editing wedding videos (over 60 different cameras and 15 editing computers)! I may not be the best, but I haven't seen anyone better! After shooting hundreds of weddings over the last 20 years, most of the Brides/Grooms will agree I was the hardest working wedding professional, before, during, and after their wedding day, and guarantee to do the same for you.

Ask to see our suitcase full of thank you letters, from hundreds of satisfied brides and mothers of the brides, that people have sent us unsolicited from over the years!
