1. How Long Will Our Video Be?

Many factors determine how long your video will be. The length of the ceremony, the number and length of the toasts, the inclusion or exclusion of traditional reception activities, and special dance floor events. The running time can average 60 to 75 minutes. Typically, the reception accounts for 30 to 60 minutes of your Wedding Video. There is no set running time. Length is determined by how much footage is captured to tell the story of your Wedding Day.

2. Can I Get The Raw Footage?

Our style of filming and editing is such that access to the raw footage is unnecessary. We are aware that many videographers take creative license and heavily edit their videos (Five to Eight Minute Highlight Videos). We feel this is not a benefit to you, the Bride and Groom, since we do not know what may or may not be important to you. Since we shoot in "Cinematic Documentary" style, all usable footage is used in the final edit. All important events such as the Ceremony, Toasts, First Dance, Parents Dances, Cake Cutting, etc..., are shown in their entirety.

3. What is "Cinematic Documentary" style?

Cinematic Documentary style means that we capture and document the events of the day, and allow each event to unfold naturally as it happens. You get to hear and see it as it happened. The little conversations, the laughs, the tears, and the music. Nothing is staged. You get to relive your Wedding Day exactly as it happened. All footage is creatively edited into a narrative form, telling your Wedding Day story from the opening to closing shots.

4. How long will you be there filming?

Our Package Numbers Two, Three and Four include Pre-Ceremony, Ceremony, Post Ceremony, and Reception. These packages cover your Wedding Day from 6-8 hours. Since each Wedding is a little different, depending on the venue and timeline wise, it usually takes an average of 5-8 hours to cover a typical Wedding Day. We've designed our packages so you don't have any extra hourly charges, and still get complete Wedding Day coverage.

5. Will you be intrusive?

No. We are never in your face - we have no big lights, no large equipment - you will hardly know we are there. We pride ourselves in being unobtrusive. We are there to capture your Wedding Day, not be a part of it.

6. What if our reception venue is dark?

Today's cameras have excellent low light capabilities. In case of an unusually dark venue, we do have on-camera lighting.

7. How long will it take to receive our wedding video?

You will usually receive your Wedding Video within 2-3 weeks from the date of your Wedding. Sometimes sooner.

8. Why are your prices lower than some of the other Videographers?

We have been told for years that we should raise our prices. We could, probably should, but have chosen to keep our prices lower than other videographers. Since we are a husband and wife team, all work is done by us. We work from home and have no mortgage payment (paid our house off early), so we are able to work with a low overhead. We do not outsource any of our work, so all work is done by us. We are a sole proprietor. There are other companies who will send anyone to show up. We can't say if they are good or bad, but all the reviews listed on our website or on Wedding Wire and The Knot are all for us. Not everyone has $1800.00 to $4000.00+ in their budget for Videography, and we feel that every couple who would like a high quality video of their Wedding Day should be able to afford one.

9. Everyone seems to be using slow motion in their Wedding Videos today, why not yours?

Slow motion is the current "fad" used in most Wedding Videos. Just like a few years ago the "slider shot" was all the rage. Before that, everyone was panning and zooming. This is not our style. Life doesn't happen in slow motion. If we use it, it is for a very specific reason. When you watch your Wedding Video, we want you to experience your Wedding Day as it actually happened.

10. Do you do any posing or stylized shooting?

No...that is the job of the photographer. We are there to capture your Wedding Day as it happens. We are not there to create moments, but to capture them. We don't do any staging. We may ask for a kiss or two, but that is about it.
