HOW WE WORK

Taping Style
Our approach to event Videography is very much about capturing the spirit of the day through the spontaneous moments and telling the story journalistically. We pay particular attention to the subtle gestures, details, emotions that make each event unique. We use high quality wireless and on camera microphones so even when it is hard to hear the speaker for the audience we don't miss anything on tape.
During the event we try to stay as invisible as possible. We don't ask people to pose or stop or do something over.

Editing Style
We edit in both "journalistic" and "cinematic" styles.

Video Journalistic style is typically described as a documentary of the event. Segments are edited as they occur to preserve continuity. This style of editing will produce a polished documentation of the day as it unfolds. Also can be referred to as Documentary Style.

Cinematic, the term is defined as making a movie or film. It is captured and edited for the dramatic effect and mood. It is usually presented with a particular style and "wow" effect that may not be present in a "mere documentary" of the event. We edit under 10 minutes highlights videos with music of your choice that may be uploaded online. The shorter highlights chapter is popular to show friends, while family might watch the full-length wedding DVD.

You can choose from Short Form Wedding video or Traditional.

Short form is a video of the day that has been edited to fit within 50 minutes (on 1 DVD).

Traditional, is a catch all term for styles that do not fit with above. Traditional tends to look more like a family shot video, it can be edited, but usually lightly. Everything is edited in a linear progression and usually in its entirety. These videos tend to be 2 to 3 hours in length.

Highlights: A chapter on the final DVD that shows highlights of the ceremony and reception. Usually running under 10 minutes, highlights videos may be uploaded online. The shorter highlights chapter is popular to show friends, while family might watch the full-length wedding DVD.
