1. The Wedding Stories Prelude Videography Only.
"The "Wedding Stories" Prelude" Short Form is your special opening to your Wedding Story. It featuring "A Wedding Story" style" that includes the bride and grooms courtship stories wonderfully weaved together to a delightful music score.

2. Family Preparations Photography and Videography available.
Capturing the hectic fun pre-wedding moments of the wedding party all to a delightful music score.

3 Your Photo Sessions Videotaped
We capture the time before and after the photo clicks, with all the sounds still cameras can’t capture.

4. Ceremony Coverage 2 cam Video Photography and or Videography available.
We specialize Photo Videography in the long form documentary style that captures the entire Ceremony and Reception from multiple points of view with 2 - Sony 3 chip professional digital video cameras. Many Videographers capture segments (short form) rather than full multi-camera coverage. For example, during any important segment it’s nice to see the reaction shots of the participants and more of your family and friends that are also a very special part of your wedding story, plus extra points of view are invaluable during the editing process and this is what makes all the difference between a boring "fast forward it" video or a captivating fun to watch one. With only one camera, you have to pan around too much trying, if at all, to get the moments. Also if an inevitable obstruction (photographer, videographer or guest) gets in the way, the second cameras and operator can capture the moments. THIS IS WHY HAVING ME, AS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IS SO IMPORTANT. All your special moments will be captured but we won’t be seen in your photos and video.

5. Reception Coverage 2 cam Video Long Form Photography and or Videography available.
We cover all the festivities at the reception with 2 video cameras. Our Fluid head video tripods have specially designed cameras mounts for our digital still cameras. We also use monopods when on the move for a more stable unshaken look. Our "get into the festivities" style of Photography and Videography captures all the fun in new and unique ways, not just from a tripod in the corner.
We also co-ordinate with your DJ to make sure all introductions are recorded. Many times something important is missed because the Videographers weren’t ready to roll tape in time. Communication between your wedding coordinator, DJ and Photo-Videographers is very important and we work very well with everyone.

6. Digital Non Linear Video Editing Video Photoshop Photo Editing
The art of Videography and photography can be described as getting colors on a palette; the editing and processing is the canvas. Video Editing can be as simple as removing unnecessary footage, but in the hands of a creative and talented editor your finished video will be a memorable one and something to cherish. There is no substitute for good editing and I am very proud to say I am one of the best.  Generally, 4 hours of editing is required per each attended hour. So a 4-hour schedule will take approximately 20 hours of editing, an 8-hour schedule 40 hours. Double that for two cameras. For some strange reason I always seem to put more time into it. I consider editing to be an art form.
The same applies for Digital photo processing. *
With our photography option

7.Transitions : How your video flows from segment to segment, and chapter to chapter. It’s what gives your video a professional look and feel as long as they are not overused and amateurish.

8. Animation 9. Special effects. 10. Custom graphics. 11. Titles
Unlike basic cuts only editing, tastefully produced special effects ads beautiful transition effects between segments such as dissolves, various multi-layer video compositing, special picture in picture effects, slow motion with broadcast quality graphics and titles for some first class professional looks. 

12. Music Video Highlights Montage and Photo Music Videos *
also available as a custom options.
My specialty. When you select this option make sure to have a box of tissues handy when watching.  The Wedding Day Highlights Montage is one of the most emotionally stimulating segments on your entire wedding video.  It is a Bride and Groom rated favorite that will capture all the key moments of the wedding day in a 5-minute video segment. Slow motion, special effects and the appropriate live or pre-recorded music are skillfully weaved together. Unlike most video editors, I do not dub music onto video. I insert video over music controlling the flow and timing of the imagery and preserving natural background sounds when appropriate.  This is very detailed, time-consuming work. You are invited to view our web site demo room to preview some of our work or call for a consultation and screening.

13. True DVD Authoring not DVD recording.
Authoring a DVD is the process of getting the final edited Wedding Story to DVD format (Mpeg) this is called encoding. It is very time consuming work taking days to complete. It’s the best way to make professional menu driven DVDs, not just the simple non-interactive ones made on DVD Recorders. 

14. Custom Photo DVD Jackets.
Along with DVD jewel cases, we individually produce each DVD case with your choice of photos.
