Technically, yes. Making that final payment lets us know you are excited and ready to receive your video. We will contact you as soon as possible to double check that we have all the materials needed (i.e. photos and song selections) to begin the editing process. Once the editing has begun, it typically takes 2 weeks to receive your video. On the flip side, though, if you have not made that final payment, and we have all the materials to begin editing your video, we will begin the edit process according to schedule. We will contact you to make you aware of this, and you may make that final payment at that point and time. We do not deliver your video until all of your payments have been paid in full. The normal turn-around time is 3-4 months after your event.
The answer to that question is six for one, half dozen for the other. Apple Dictionary defines Cinematography as: “The art of making motion pictures.” And it defines Videography as: “The process or art of making video films.” What it boils down to is the media format involved. Cinematography, which is more related to major motion pictures, deals with all of the creative camera techniques when using film. Videography uses those same techniques for video. We work very hard to carefully craft a unique and creative representation of your wedding day using video cameras. Luckily, we use state-of-the-art cameras which have a very film like look to their images. Whether you would like to call us cinematographers or videographers is your preference, we won’t be offended either way.

It depends on the length of your day, the package you choose and the overall activity. For example, some ceremonies are 10 minutes, some are over an hour. Some receptions are 5 hours, some 4 and some 6. Some receptions are non-stop with all traditional festivities and some are less wild. We love the variety, but it does factor into the final length of your edited video. Some toasts are 5 minutes or less, some are over 15 minutes. See what we mean? Generally, the final length is between 50-90 minutes.

First of all, your video will be produced in High-Definition using some of the finest cameras and equipment in the business. Everything is recorded to digital cards and drives. Each camera captures duplicate files, just in case 1 card fails. This has only happened once in 5 years, since this technology began. Fortunately, we had duplicate files, so no one knew it happened but us.
