Our wedding video packages - What do we offer

One of the first questions that comes up when talking to prospective clients concerns what is offered in our packages. Our web page provides a capsule description which I will expand on in this post. Lets start with the Basic Package. This is our least expensive offering and is described on the website as follows:

"With the Basic Package your wedding day is filmed and edited in a simple, straightforward style. We provide full coverage of the ceremony and main reception events, and complete your video with a short recap of the day set to music."

The market for our Basic Package are couples who are looking for a high quality, low price package where just basic coverage is desired. As this is our lowest priced offering, we do much less editing than with our more expensive packages. The ceremony and main reception events are presented as filmed. We always clean up the edit, removing extraneous footage, but leave most of what was taped in the final cut. We also apply color correction and audio sweetening to the edit to make sure that it looks good and sounds good.  Then we add a short (3 to 4 minute) recap of the day’s events set to music at the end of the edit. This is the only "artistic touch" that is included with this package.

The Deluxe Package offers much more. Here is how it is described on our website:

Our most popular package. With the Deluxe package we include our Wedding Highlights Program. Combining fablulous imagery, music and sound, we create for you a personalized film that captures the essence of your wedding day.

This package is designed for couples who want something special in their wedding video. The centerpiece is the Wedding Highlights Movie. What we do here is to distill the day down into a 20 to 40 minute program. Our approach is to capture the feeling and emotion of the wedding in a very personal way. We aim for a more cinematic style which makes the Highlights into a wedding day movie rather then just a documentary. Some examples can be found here.

With the Deluxe Package you also get coverage of the bride and groom getting ready, as well as a "documentary style" edit of the complete ceremony and main reception events (like the Basic Package) . We also create your own personal page on our website complete with the Wedding Highlights Program and ceremony coverage. Recently we have added a High Definition Blu-ray copy of ther wedding to the Deluxe Package as well as iPod / iPhone compatible versions of the wedding highlights. This is in addition to the regular DVDs.

The Ultimate Package is just that, The Ultimate. I won’t describe it here, but if you want anything else (Love Story video etc) that is not provided in the Deluxe Package, just ask. We can do it here.
