One of the biggest regrets some couples experience after their wedding is over is the decision to trust a low-end videographer with their wedding day. These so-called "pro" videos often fail due to poor audio, poor low-light images, inadequate planning and coordination to blend with the flow of the event, shaky images, insufficient battery capacity, and poor editing. Remember, if the finished video is low-quality, transferring it to DVD will not improve it. Ask yourself this if you are at all tempted to choose based on the lowest bid or the best deal financially: If the video turned out poorly, would you write a letter of recommendation saying "The video was poor but your price was great"?

What type of equipment do you use?

We use broadcast-quality digital equipment. Such as our Sony HVR FX1 professional High Definition camcorders. Equipped with pro audio features such as BeachTek High Definition audio mixer, that uses line level instead of mic level, and has it's own noise-free pre-amplifiers. We also use professional Sennheiser K2 microphone capsules with ME-66 (shotgun) and ME-62 (omni-directional) microphones to record sound. And we use Sony broadcast-quality UHF diversity (high-frequency) lavalier microphone system at every wedding. We edit using Sony professional non-linear digital edit systems.

Don't you use bright, blinding lights?

No. Our cameras work well in low-light situations. We don't need to use lights at the ceremony, and use low-wattage, on-camera lights at the reception only for enhancing the image.

Won't the videographer(s) be obtrusive and disruptive?

No. We're always complimented on our low-key, unobtrusive approach to capturing the wedding day, and on our professionalism as well. Many couples tell us they forgot we were even there! We believe that the focus should be on the two of you, not us. We don't usually move around or change positions since we do not wish to create any possibility of causing a distraction. If we do need to move, we do it discreetly. We'll also work closely with your wedding coordinator, photographer, DJ or band, and other vendors. We always make sure that we are not interfering with another vendor or with the guests.

Won't there be extention cords, cables and accessories that some guests may find uncomfortable?

No. We operate on battery power for the entire day, and use wireless microphones, so there are no cables, wires or accessories to make a guest feel uncomfortable. We respect both you, the other vendors and your guests, and do our best to make sure that everyone is comfortable with us.

What if my church has restrictions on video?

We will work within the guidelines set by your church with regard to videography, and pay the utmost respect to them. We appreciate it if you are able to notify us well in advance of these restrictions, so that we can plan accordingly. If your church will not allow your ceremony to be recorded, we offer a reception-only A La Carte package that's affordably priced.

Do you use wireless microphones?

We use high-frequency, UHF wireless lavalier microphone systems, plus on-camera microphones (referred to as "shotgun" mikes for their ability to focus on the sound and eliminate noise). This results in crystal-clear sound in your wedding movie. The wireless mikes are broadcast-quality, and operate on selectable higher frequencies than those used in most churches. Usually the groom wears one small lavalier microphone (which picks up sound during the vows and rings exchange), while another small wireless mike may be used to pick up the sound from the officiant and during the readings. The on-camera mikes provide back-up and sometimes the main sound.

When does your coverage start?

We usually arrive 45 minutes before the start of the ceremony, and begin filming immediately. If Bride/Groom preparations are included, we'll normally arrive at the "getting ready" location(s) at about the same time as the photographer, or a little before.

Do you bring back-up equipment?

Yes. We always have at least one back-up digital camera, as well as plenty of extra batteries, tapes, microphones, etc.

How much does it cost?

New lower pricing starts at just $1,299! There's no better value available for this level of quality. All packages include include professional HD production, and the talent and experience of some of New England's best wedding videographers, led by award-winning veteran broadcast TV Producer/Director Jim Nogueira.

How long will the finished DVD be?

We can give you an estimate of how long your edited video will be once we know the details of your wedding. Each wedding is unique, and the edited video length depends on the length of your ceremony, the length of your reception, package, etc.

Will the DVD be compatible with my DVD player?

Our standard def DVDs (DVD-R) are compatible with most DVD players. We can instead make a DVD+R if needed. Our Blu-Ray discs (hi-def) are BD-R. We recommend Sony Playstation 3 as the most compatible player for BD-R.

I don't have a Blu-Ray player yet. How will I watch my wedding movie?

Our deluxe packages include standard DVDs as well as Blu-Ray. You can watch your video now (in widescreen standard definition) with a regular DVD player. If you purchase a Blu-Ray player or Playstation 3 (recommended player for best compatibility) in the future, you'll be able to watch your wedding movie in Hi-Def.

Optionally, may can choose to have your wedding in rendered in Windows Media Video HD format instead of Blu-Ray. In this instance, you would receive a data DVD that will play your wedding movie in HD on your computer (will not work on a set-top DVD player). We'll even install it on your computer for you if you wish. Of course, you will still receive standard def DVDs as well.

Do I have a choice of music?

Yes, we encourage you to select music for the montages. We can provide music from our Music Library, or you may provide your own.

When will my finished wedding movie be ready?

The time frame is usually 6-12 weeks after the event.

How much is the deposit?

$250.00.

 When is the balance due?

The balance is due by your wedding day.
