Building
Blocks of the Wedding Packages
Packages are priced according to editing since that's where most of
my time & energy are spent.
Editing is what makes one package different from another. Package prices
are lower than their a la carte equivalent.

Photo
Montage
$200 a la carte
I will cut together a nice photo montage of your baby, childhood, dating
and engagement pictures and include it at the start of your wedding
video. Please choose one song and supply about 50 photos. Actual length
depends on your choice of music (should not exceed 4 minutes). Because
all of my editing is a creative story-telling process and relies heavily
upon the beat and length of your music, there are always 2 or 3 photos
that won't quite fit in the final cut. So, if you have favorites, please
indicate those.
Motion
Picture Show $750 a la carte
A 10 minute picture and video show at your reception is a wonderful
way to thank and entertain your guests. I am quite a perfectionist and
as such, a Motion Picture Show leaves Powerpoint in the dust! This is
a very highly polished, tightly edited and carefully crafted presentation
that will probably be the highlight of your reception! Photos and video
are painstakingly digitized, touched up, filtered and animated. It is
definitely a show that you and your family will want to watch many times
over the years. A 10 minute presentation typically requires 3 songs
and between 130 to 160 photos & video clip which must be supplied to
me at least 6 weeks before the wedding. 1-2 weeks before the wedding
we will meet for a preview and you will make comments and request any
changes. I will then make final alterations based upon your comments.

Rehearsal
Review
$300 a
la carte
Everyone is giddy, nervous and being silly! What a perfect place for
a video camera! At your wedding rehearsal I will collect scenes of family,
friends and wedding participants being themselves. At your rehearsal
dinner I can capture special toasts, introductions and other remarks.
If you choose, I will be happy to solicit comments from your family
in the form of interviews (I only do this at the rehearsal dinner and
NEVER at the reception). Footage will be edited to your choice of music.
My presence at your rehearsal makes my coverage of your ceremony 5 times
better. After having watched it I will be well able to select the ideal
place for the remote cameras while accurately anticipating various movements
of readers, singers and attendants as the ceremony progresses.
Bridal
Preparations at Her Hotel
$300 a la carte
At the bride's home, I will capture scenes as she prepares herself for
the wedding. As a woman I can stay with her at all times so that you
don't miss those spontaneous special moments. Footage may include hair
dressing & make-up, getting dressed (nothing risque), bridesmaids getting
ready and any spontaneous comments from family & friends. Footage will
be edited to one song of your choice with any dialogue portions presented
separately. You choose one song for this segment.
Anticipation
$200 a la carte
Beginning at least an hour before the ceremony officially starts, I
will capture scenes of whatever is going on in the hour preceding the
ceremony. These could be scenes of guests arriving, signing the guest
book, groom & men hanging around, bride & maids arriving & waiting,
decorations being placed, flowers being pinned on etc. I will certainly
capture footage of whatever the bride is doing at that time too. You
choose one song for this segment.
The
Ceremony $500
a la carte
The ceremony is captured with three or four strategically placed cameras
that are manually or remotely adjusted. Coverage usually begins with
the seating of grandparents and ends when the bridal party walks out.
The groom and officiant wear wireless lapel mics during the ceremony.
The entire ceremony is included in most packages.
The
Ceremony Review
$250 a la carte
This is an abbreviated version of your ceremony, a montage set to classical
music of your choice. The only dialogue is the vows.
Reception
Review $300
a la carte
After the ceremony and/or photo session, I will capture scenes of everything
I possibly can throughout the reception. Nothing is overlooked! Part
of that footage is edited into this music montage which shows all of
those little candid glimpses of people, decorations, dancers and smiles
from your reception. You choose one or two songs for this segment.
Reception
Highlights
$300 a la carte
This is the other part of your reception coverage. The live recordings
of speeches, dances, comments from guests and any footage containing
important sounds is presented here in chronological order. A time lapse
recording of the entire reception closes this portion of the video in
a fun 60 second flash back.
Romantic
Moments $250
a la carte
This montage focuses exclusively on the couple and includes just a few
effects. Special photo sessions provide the most romantic and emotionally
evocative scenes of all. I follow near the photographer and capture
candid yet stylized shots of the happy couple as they kiss, hug, hold
and smile. Mere photos cannot capture a glance, a giggle or the length
of his gaze as only video can. Other moments of togetherness during
the reception are also included here. If you would like to shoot special
footage to enhance this segment then just say the word. You choose one
song for this segment.
Wedding
Day Review
(Included in every package) $250 a la carte
This is the video that gets all the glamour, style and special treatment.
This is the segment of your video that you will show off the most because
it tells the story of your wedding in the space of one song. Loan me
a few photos from your honeymoon and I'll pepper them in for a lovely
finishing touch! The actual length of this segment depends upon the
music you choose.
