Your Wedding
Video: A Treasure Now ... and Later for Your Kids!
(Choose an Option Above For Additional Information!)
Why Get A Video If We Have Photographs?
Many of our brides tell us later how much of a blur their
big day became. After all the preparation, the day speeds by. And the bride
isn't even allowed to see many of the events leading up to her entrance to walk down the aisle!
After all is said and done, all that's left to remember
the day, and share it with friends and family (and eventually your own
kids!) are
the photographs and your video. And the video is the only way to relive the day with
sights and sounds, motion and emotion.
Please see WEVA's
explanation of why video is important.
Why Are We Different From Other Videographers?
We are a husband and wife team who specialize in
weddings. We do video full time, not just as a hobby on weekends. We will meet
with you in advance and get to know exactly what kind of video you like for your
wedding. If you like, Janet can capture some emotional video of the bride interacting with the
other ladies in the bridal party as you get dressed.
We strive to
provide a wedding video that captures more than simply what happened during the
day. If you like, we can capture treasured interviews from family
members you select. We specialize in getting interviews from friends and family, then using those
comments to tell the story of the couple. Stories about their childhood are creatively grouped at the beginning,
with stories of dating and the engagement period later. After the ceremony video,
there will be special sections with other topics depending on the couple. Each video
is different and customized to convey who you are. At the end, before the
artistically edited and emotional recap of the day, friends and family wish you the best for your honeymoon and
ever after.
What you want on your wedding video is not just what was
said during the day, and what everyone wore. We create a video to show your kids and
grandkids who you are now. We've had couples come back years later and say
that their daughter found their wedding video, and watched it over and over!
If you think of what you
would like to see from your Mom's and Grandmother's weddings, it's more than the
photographs you might have seen. Who were they? What were their wishes?
We capture the answers for you while also capturing the sights and sounds of the day's
events.
We Capture Clear Video and Audio
Using our state-of-the-art microphones
and low-light 3-CCD
camera, we can capture your day regardless of the lighting. Please
note that we never use any additional lighting for the ceremony, only
if needed for the reception!
(We include some video clips to give you an
idea of what we do, but we do want to emphasize that the quality you see depends
on your computer, monitor, and Web connection speed. Also, note that even
with the best system and connection, the quality will be considerably inferior
to a DVD.)
