A Summery of How I Videotape Your Wedding Day
I always arrive prior to our start time. After setting up in preparation for video taping the ceremony (which includes using a wireless mic), I immediately find the wedding parties and capture candid pre-ceremony footage: of wedding parties preparing for the ceremony, candid shots of any photo sessions, and shots of guests arriving. This footage has it's natural recorded audio.
I document everything... including nicely framed detailed shots for creating introduction photomontages, which are set to music. These stills include: Flower arrangements, the wedding program, the alter, bride's bouquet, reception hall table layout and close-ups, wedding cakes, guest book, gift table, etc… Everything that makes for a good still.
Of course the entire ceremony will have its natural recorded audio, from the wireless mic.
I candidly videotape your photographer's formals photo session, and create a video montage with transitions and music background of your choice. This becomes a separate chapter choice on your DVDs. As your photographer is finishing your formals, I go to cover the cocktail hour, to capture footage of your guests and get ready for your entrance into the reception.
I capture all the highlights of your reception: wedding party entrance, first dances, any toasting, cutting of the cakes, bouquet and garter toss, and more. I also capture many candid shots of guests dancing and sitting at their tables, perhaps waving and sending their congratulations. I do videotape interviews with guests; however, if you specifically want interviews please let me know. Overall, I try to be an inconspicuous presence, so as not to impose on you and your guests. Some couples prefer not to have us do any interviews. If the package you choose includes me being there until the end of your reception, I of course cover the couple leaving their reception party.
As most everything I shoot is good footage, you receive over 90% of all the footage. In editing, I create an opening photo montage set to music, add transitions between most shots, create the Formals video sequence set to music of your choice, and create the chapter choices for your DVDs... Instant access to Pre-Ceremony, Ceremony, Formals, Reception, and a Highlights sequence if this is part of your package. All DVDs have custom color printing directly on the DVDs. Contact me if you have any other questions not covered here! My turn around time is only two weeks.

With our listed packages I use High Definition Cameras. During your wedding ceremony, I always use a lavelier wireless mic, or if your ceremony location has an audio sound system I can go direct from their audio board to my camera; for the absolute best audio recording. All video footage is artistically edited and produced using the highest quality DVD encoding to ensure you get the best video possible. DVD menu choices for your Pre-Ceremony, Ceremony, Formals Sequence, Highlights, and Reception.
What kind of equipment do you use?... Any Wireless Microphones?
Yes, I always bring backup equipment to ensure your wedding will be fully captured.
What do you do for low-light situations?
My cameras capture excellent video footage even in low-light situations. It is rare that I ever need additional lighting during your ceremony. During your reception, I use a small, unobtrusive camera light for short periods during a shot.
Do you do interviews?
I do interviews if requested, of your wedding party and guests. If you do not specify that you want certain interviews, we may casually do some, as guests will often approach us to record an interview.
Do you keep our wedding video footage for future copies?
I digitally archive and preserve all your edited files for DVD on a hard drive. As technology changes through the years, you may want an upgraded video gift for a wedding anniversary.
Do you travel?
I am located in the Atlanta and Athens areas, and since 1994, have been commissioned to video tape weddings all over Georgia, as well as out of state. Additional travel fees are based on distance from Atlanta or Athens, and length of stay. Please contact me to discuss any travel arrangements.
What is you payment policy and how quickly do we receive our video DVDs?
I normally require a 1/2 down deposit to reserve your wedding date, unless other arrangements are made. Balance is due prior to, or the day of your wedding. My turn around time is usually two weeks. You can make payments by check or through my business PayPal account page. You can charge to your own PayPal account or Credit Cards are accepted through PayPal.
