Frequently Asked Questions On
Weddings
What kind of camera equipment
do you use?
We use 3-chip high sensitivity
digital video cameras, pro-digital video editing equipment,
wireless microphones, and microphones for ambient sound.
We don't carry bright lights that distract and block other's
views. Our cameras are sensitive and can capture beautiful
images even in low-light situations.
Do you interview guests?
Interviews add depth and help to
tell a more complete story. We believe weddings are special
because your family and friends are present to witness this
commitment you have chosen to make and having their wishes,
stories, and individual charm on video is often the most
cherished aspect of a wedding story. We are comfortable
interviewing your guests in a kind and unobtrusive manner
but also realize not all guests desire to be on camera and
we are very considerate of their wishes.
How long will it take to get
my final video?
Your draft copy is ready to view
within 4 weeks of your wedding. At that time you let us
know if there are needed changes. Once we have your feedback
the final copies will be delivered within 3 weeks.
What about song choices
for the dvd?
You can give us songs
to include in the editing phase (we suggest at least 3)
and we will also mix in ambient and focal music from your
wedding and ceremony. We prefer to receive your songs choices
on cd before your wedding. .
How do you remain unobtrusive?
We've all been to weddings where
it seems the photographer or the videographer is the center
of attention. That's just not our style. During pre-ceremony,
we shoot the preparations as they occur without being distracting.
As the ceremony begins we move as gracefully as possible
to capture the entrance of all parties. During the ceremony,
our cameras are set in pre-selected locations and generally
don't move until right before the wedding party exits. At
the reception we mingle through your guests while also being
sure to capture key moments - toasts, first dances, cutting
of the cake, etc.
How will
your camerapersons be dressed?
We've attended
a range of weddings where the dress varies from formal to
funky so we are flexible.
What will the
finished dvd be like?
Your finished dvd will have a menu
that will allow you to skip to different moments of your
wedding. We edit the dvd to tell a story. We craft together
the highlights, ceremonial moments, interviews, and the
subtle feel of your day into an artistic style that will
be a joy for you to watch and share for the years to come.
In our experience, keeping your edited story between 30-45
minutes is a length that allows sufficient coverage of the
day while also keeping it at a length you can reasonably
watch with others who missed the day. Other coverage (full
ceremony, rehersal dinner, etc) will appear as a separate
chapter. If you want a short 5-10 minute recap of the day,
you'll be interested in our highlights cut.
Do you have advise on photo
montages?
Horizontal pictures work best for montages. We suggest you
pick the order and write them on the back of your photo
or list them in order on a digital file. Generally images
are displayed for 5-6 seconds. Given that, 50 photos = 5
minutes (2 songs) 100 photos = 10 minutes (3-4 songs). Songs
are of your choice and we recommend varying the tempo amongst
the selections.
What kind of payments
do you accept and when is payment due?
We accept cash, check and credit cards. To reserve a date
we require a non-refundable deposit of $400. A week before
your wedding date the remaining amount is due. New Mexico
residents or weddings filmed in New Mexico will be subject
to a sales tax of 6.625%.
REAL LIFE. CAPTURED.
