Technology;

Videographers love to talk about their equipment, and our equipment is state of the art. But the most important tool is the brain behind the camera and the brain in front of the edit screen. There are two areas of video where equipment matters: Visual (acquisition and editing) and Audio.

VISUAL
Acquisition and Editing
We use three chip digital broadcast quality cameras and a firewire based
non-linear edit system.  This combination of equipment allows us to provide our clients with the highest quality DVD and VHS copies of their video edits. We use several software programs to give us the best result for each project. Authoring and burning our own DVDs give us full control of the creative process and provides our clients with a unique product.


Multi-camera Advantage
The option of utilizing two or three cameras to cover your event greatly
expands the quality of your coverage. To see an example of the multi-camera advantage, click here.

AUDIO
Our cameras record sound at better than CD quality.
At your ceremony, we use up to four true diversity wireless microphones
placed at strategic locations to capture wonderful up-close sound of not
only the vows, rings, and other important moments between you and your
fiance, but also the readings, live music, and the officiant when they are
located away from you. At your reception, we use the same technology to get great audio of the formal introduction, toasts, guest interviews and music (band or DJ).

BOTTOM LINE
Videography is a story telling medium. If the story we tell doesn't
emotionally touch you, then you should retain a different company. We're
confident of our experience and equipment which is why we are willing to
send you a copy of our demo on DVD for viewing on your TV. Contact us for a complementary copy of our demo tape, or to schedule an appointment to meet with us personally.

DOCUMENTARY EDIT
A beautiful 1 to 2 hour long edited version of your wedding day.
• Begins with photos you submit, (except the Aspen), which are transferred and set to the music you choose. The editor will choose the music if you don't wish to.
• Then pre-ceremony footage with background music, (you may choose) continues to set the mood of the day as you and your families move toward the moment you've been waiting for. We will give you and your fiancé an opportunity for a quick word to the video just before the ceremony, or you can pass if your too nervous.
• Our 2 camera coverage will provide you with the complete ceremony. We don't have to pause the camera when we move from one position to another. We can show the look on the grooms face at his first glimpse of the bride, the reaction of your parents at key moments, multiple angles of the vows, the rings, the kiss, the list goes on...

Meanwhile, our other Videographer is busy getting pre-reception shots of the cake, table decorations, favors and the other perishables that will be long gone by the end of the night.
• At the reception, we video the Formal Introduction, Toasts, First Dance, Family and Bridal Party Dances, and the rest of the key events from multiple angles in our 2 camera reception coverage packages. We're always on the lookout for special moments as your families and friends get to know each other better. You may even choose to have us interview your guests.
• Before our time runs out, we give you an opportunity to thank all the people who shared this special day with you or make any other closing comments for your video.
• The Documentary Edit is ended with closing credits.
