"Absolutely loved it!!!!!!!!! ... You did a great job. Will definitely refer any business your way." - JH
If you have a flat screen TV, chances are that your TV is high defination (HD). HD has a much clearer picture than standard defination TVs. Our professional HD videocameras will capture your wedding in higher than broadcast quality. We can deliver your wedding to you on a standard DVD or on a true high defination Blu-Ray disk.
To get an idea of the quality of our high defination wedding video, check out these sample videos. If you have a fast Internet connection, after you start playing the video, use the "up arrow" next to the default to "360p" to select a HD resolution, either 720p or 1080p. If the video stops and starts your Internet connection cannot keep up with playing the video. To see the video smoothly pause the video and give it a chance to be downloaded to your computer before playing it.
Why HD?
High Defination or HD is new standard for video quality. HD has about 6 times the information as regular or SD video. HD not only has a wider (16x9) format but it also has several times the number of vertical lines that make up the picture. The more lines, the better the picture.
DVD vs Blu-Ray?
Because DVDs were developed years before HD a DVD cannot take full advantage of the picture quality of HD. But, Blu-Ray was developed to accept the full resolution of HD (and maybe beyond). So if you have a Blu-Ray player and a HD television your wedding video will look stunning like a Hollywood movie. The Blu-Ray option is well worth it if you have or will have a Blu-Ray player soon
As you can see, we use multiple cameras to capture your wedding. For the audio, we use our own wireless microphones and will tie into the sound system at your wedding, if allowed by company that is playing your music.

You decide which portions of you wedding day you want us to video.
Ceremony
We typically use 2 cameras to capture your wedding ceremony. Wired and wireless microphones are used to capture the music and what is being said during the ceremony.
Wide Shot - We place a camera high to get a wide view of your ceremony, this typically covers the entire front of the location and some of the guest seating.
Mobile Camera - This camera is moved during the ceremony, typically this camera is used to get the bridal party as they walk in and out of the location and to get different angles or close ups of different portions of the wedding ceremony.
We arrive early to get some video of the bride getting ready. We video the entire wedding ceremony and recession.
"We all (my husband, mother and I) just love the video... it was very professionally done... I have lots of friends that are getting married soon. I'll be recommending you to them to do their video."

Reception
At your reception we will use 2 cameras using the microphones built into the cameras to capture the sights and sounds of your reception. One camera will be a wide shot of your reception room while the other will be mobile to get close ups of the different traditions and ceremonies at your reception. Note - many receptions have very dim lighting, picture quality and color vibrance may suffer if the lighting levels are too low.
We will capture your reception from the grand enterance of the wedding party into the reception room to the completion of the wedding rituals, such as cutting the cake. The video footage is edited to be a wedding reception highlights. Every effort is made to capture at least some footage of every guest as we visit tables at your reception.
Video Guestbook
Your wedding party and family are given a chance to share with you as a video message their thoughts and feelings on your wedding day. We setup a video camera outside of your main reception room for the video guest book. Your wedding party and family can sit and leave a message that you will receive when you get the video. Years later you will cherish the messages left by parents and siblings. As the bride you can leave a message for your groom and likewise your groom can leave a special message for his bride.
Sample Video Guest Book (Web Quality)
Your guests will have the
opportunity
to record their message to you during the dinner portion of your reception and little after. We will be setup to record the Video Guestbook for about 2 hours during your reception.
