Camera Coverage with 4 Cameras by Carol
. . . . My name badge reads, "Carol - the videographer, Please ignore the camera" and I mean it! I'm as inconspicuous as a guest with my cleverly placed small HD cameras which I adjust by hand (out of view) or by remote control. The groom and minister usually wear tiny wireless microphones during the ceremony. At the reception, I typically operate 2 video cameras and 1 stationary camera records the timelapse. You will never have a camera in your face and my low blood-pressure gives me a steady-cam hand. I do interviews only upon request. Organization is key and I ask all my questions in advance via the Call Sheet questionnaire so I don't have to interrupt you on the big day. Video packages are very customizable.

Combination Style Editing
. . . All of the great romantic movies contain a combination of documentary footage (the parts with dialogue) and montage footage (the parts with just music). I believe a wedding video should be like that. In using a combination of editing styles, I am creating a movie that will hold your interest over time - even after many viewings. I use music you have selected and filters you have chosen. It takes a good deal of organization and a bit longer to edit a wedding video this way but I think it's worth the effort. Plus it allows you a lot more flexibility later on so you can watch it as a short version or a longer one.

Video Filter Options
Below are samples of the video filters I ask couples to rate (love it, hate it, no opinion). I use that as my guide while I'm editing.

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. Click here to view a sample.

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.
