Are you and your equipment
inconspicuous when you are shooting?
Most couples remark that they didn't notice I was there and are surprised by the extensive coverage.
Do you use
lighting?
Lights are never used during the ceremony, the preparation or post-ceremony activities. It may be necessary to use lighting during the reception because of the low available light in most halls, but special consideration is given to maintaining the lighting ambiance you’ve chosen. Lighting is discreet, only used for special events and never at eye-level.
Do you have back-ups in case of
equipment malfunctions?
All on-site equipment has a back-up so that any gear malfunctioning on the job can be replaced
without interruption.
Is your equipment professional
and up to date?
All cameras used are small, unobtrusive and record in a wide-screen, high-definition format. The footage is artistically blended in a computer based editing suite. Delivery is on a fully authored DVD with stylized chapters, navigation and your choice of the DVD menus theme design.
Will you be professional in your
appearance?
Always. You can only expect a class act, both in demeanor and
dress.
Do you record other activities
that are not held at the church or reception hall?
Yes. Coverage at homes or
gathering places before the ceremony or between the ceremony and reception are often where many of
the most memorable events occur. You may customize the coverage to include any number of
locations.
Do you interview guests at the
reception?
If interviews are not requested they will not be done. All efforts are
made to be as inconspicuous as possible, but tastefully executed interviews, if requested, will be
performed with family, guests and members of the wedding party.
Do you require a retaining fee

Can we select music for you to
use in the editing process?
Yes. Songs that are special to the couple can be edited
into the final program. After the event you'll have the chance to tell us your musical preferences through the customization form.
Can we have special photos, slides or home video
edited into our wedding video?
Yes! See the "Photo Montage" prices in the brochure.
The Photo Montage can be ready before the wedding day if desired.
How soon can we expect to
receive our DVD(s)?
The 'return-time' of your wedding DVD should be a major consideration when choosing a videographer. There may a considerable amount of time between the date of the event and the delivery date. A decision needs to be made that weighs the wait you'll experience against the quality of the final product you will receive. To help you make that choice an estimated date of completion based on the current post-production schedule should be requested.
How long will the edited movie
be?
The edited DVD can range from 30 minutes to upwards of 2 hours depending on the
style of editing you choose and the amount of peripheral activity. After the event you will have the opportunity to have input into the final length of the DVD through an online customization form.
Will you attend the
rehearsal?
Yes, not only to choose angles and talk to the person presenting the
service, but also to meet all those involved in the most special day of two people's
lives.
How have you been
trained?
I learned my basic skills while earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Film and Video, completed
in 1989. Since that time the company has grown into a full time business based solely on the
referrals of previous clients and networking with other photo and video professionals.
Have you won any videography awards?
In 2006 Wedding Films was honored to be chosen as one of the EventDV 25. This award is designed specifically for videographers who are exerting a profound influence on the field right now.
