Why Choose us
worried it may not be worth the money. This is understandable, because weddings are expensive, and tough choices are going to have to be made when putting together your budget. But when you consider the ability of video to fully commemorate an event, from perspectives that you never would have enjoyed otherwise, you can see that the money you invest in video will be giving you returns for years afterwards.The simple truth is that photos aren’t enough when it comes to remembering your big day. Photos aren’t able to capture your vows or the speeches afterwards. Photos don’t have audio afterall. They can’t capture live music performances or poetry readings. And pictures of the dance floor certainly can’t compare to video. Professional video allows you to share your wedding with people who couldn’t attend, or even your children years later. They also offer a great way to remember your older loved ones after they pass.The bottom line is, nothing competes with video in terms of creating memories and memorializing the most important moments of our lives.

We use a combination of wireless lapel mics and an omnidirectional microphone. Omnidirectional microphones pick up sound from any direction and don't require a boom pole. They are typically placed on stands near the bride and groom. Lapel mics are worn by the wedding party and picked up good quality audio. We have a set of traditional microphones as well, in case the wireless audio has problems. We'll never let your wedding day be marred by bad sound.
Recently, couples have been opting for smaller intimate weddings. That's why we provide elopements and micro-weddings films for couples who want a more cinematic and intimate experience for their wedding day.
Yes, however, Videographers regularly charge for the raw footage as they want to discourage the use of this footage in other mediums. It's a licensing issue as well as a brand issue. If someone takes the raw footage and edits it themselves, they can transfer to any medium they want, and if done poorly, this can reflect badly on the videography company that shot the footage. Remember, when purchasing raw footage, you are essentially purchasing the rights to someone else's creative work, so you have to compensate the artist for that transfer of rights.
How is a wedding film different from a wedding video? A wedding film is a short film that tells the story of your wedding day. It is a more cinematic approach to wedding videography and will typically be around 10-15 minutes long. A wedding video, on the other hand, is a more traditional style of video that captures all of the moments from your wedding day. Both styles are equally beautiful and will capture the memories of your wedding day perfectly.
The highlight film is designed to show off the best parts of your wedding day. From the first dance to the cake cutting, we'll capture the highlights of your wedding day in a fun, fast-paced format. Our goal is to create a compilation of memories that you can enjoy over and over again.
