This is what they had to say about their video:

Carla and Keith,

WE LOVE THE WEDDING VIDEO!!!! You guys did such a fantastic job and I would highly recommend you in the future. Thank you so much for all your correspondence over the months, for your time / patience, and for capturing everything that we wanted on our special day!

Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Videographer

2011-04-15T11:36:00.000-07:00

You've decided to hire a professional videographer to film your wedding day. Here's a list of questions to ask prospective videographers that will help you make an informed decision:

What style do you film in?
Whether you prefer a traditional, cinematic or storytelling style video, you'll want to choose a videographer that has experience in that style.

How long have you been filming weddings?

If a company is shady in any way or produces poor product, they won't be in business for long. The longer the videographer has been in the business, the more likely you are to receive a high quality, polished looking video.

Can I see a sample wedding video?

Ideally, you should be able to watch an entire video from start to finish, and not just a demo reel. Some videographers include all events in real time, others only produce short form videos. It's important to know which you'd be receiving to avoid disappointment. When watching samples of a videographer's work, watch for creativity and variety in the shots, a steady picture, a sharp image and clear sound, especially during vows and toasts.

What type of equipment will you be filming with?

Equipment alone doesn't produce a beautiful video, but a professional videographer is more likely to have invested in high quality equipment. A typical equipment list includes cameras, tripods, wireless microphones, and a lighting kit.

Do you have backup equipment?

Even well maintained equipment may fail without warning, and a professional will be prepared for almost any situation.

How will you capture sound during the ceremony?

An on-camera microphone is not powerful enough to pick up whispered vows, especially if the videographer has to stand in the back of the church. There should be wireless microphones for the bride and groom to capture the vows, for any readers, the officiant and the musicians.

What is included in the package?
How many camera operators and how many hours of coverage are included? Does the price include editing? How many copies of the video will you receive and on what format (DVD, Blu-ray, flash drive)?

What are your rates?

Find out their overtime and travel rates, cost for additional copies, or any other extras you may be interested in that aren't included in your package (love story, same day edit, etc.)

How long will it take to edit the footage?

The time will vary depending on what time of year you get married and how many weddings the videographer does in a year. Make sure an estimated date of delivery in included in your contract.

Happy planning!

Jaclyn and Mike - Winnipeg Wedding Videography

2011-03-22T06:16:00.000-07:00

Jaclyn and Mike were married at Terrace 55. It's a gorgeous choice for a more intimate gathering. The patio where they held their ceremony was perfect for a garden wedding, with lush greenery and flowers. They wanted to have their first dance under the stars, and with the atrium's glass ceiling, they were able to do just that.

When David and Abigail hired us to film their wedding, they only had two requests: that their wedding day be filmed in HD and that we stay late into the night to capture their friends and family dancing. We were more than happy to do both.

Here is a small sample of some of the dancing we captured at their reception:

2010-12-17T17:31:00.000-08:00

Carla and Keith,

Cindy and I are very happy with the wedding video, the packaging and everything you and Keith have done. As I'm sure you hear from many newlyweds, it's hard to notice many things about the ceremony when it's happening. You tend forget alot of what is said, don't notice little things, and you don't see the reaction of your family and friends. This video helped us out with that, so thank you very much. We would not hesitate to recommend you to friends.

Thanks again.

Chris and Cindy

2010-12-10T12:35:00.000-08:00

Amanda and John - Wedding Videography

2010-09-23T19:14:00.000-07:00

We first met Amanda and John when we filmed John's sister's wedding the year before. In addition to having us film their day, we helped create a slideshow and a video message to their guest that we showed at their reception. I usually post the highlights, but I decided to share their photo session this time. Their photos were taken at the Red River campus on Princess and the always popular Legislative building.

What people are saying...

2010-06-15T17:16:00.000-07:00

First of all... all of the family and friends that have seen the video have loved it ... I especially loved everything you included in the sneak preview as I call it. I loved the power of having us say our vows and the way you used the table menu as a credit run. That was very cool. It's like our family and friends and ourselves could relive it or be there with us too.

-Melissa and Ari

It was our pleasure to be part of your wedding day, and we're thrilled you loved your video.

I thought I'd share another Thank You we've received:

We wanted to thank you guys again for coming all the way to Grand Rapids. We were super happy that you guys travelled out of your regular area. We were so happy with the job you guys did, we were very excited when we saw Keith on the bridge videotaping the vehicles honking. We watched it with both families after Thanksgiving and everyone loved it, there weren't many dry eyes in the house.

Keith and Carla
Please accept this letter as a personal thank you for a job well done. It was a pleasure to work with you and have you be a part of our wedding day. Your professionalism and creative ideas made the experience memorable and fun. We wanted to reflect our Love Story to family and friends with a personal touch. This mini movie idea grew into something very special to us and will be cherished for a long time. It captured everything we wanted and more. Our guests at the wedding were very impressed with the level of work and final production. Our video guest book was a perfect way for our family and friends to pass on their wishes. Thank you for taking an interest in our idea and bringing it to life.
