Do I really need a wedding album?

Isn’t just a disc of my photos good enough?

First let me say this, all of our clients that book photography receive a disc. You will receive a disc with the final edit of your images (usually 300-800 images) for archival purposes.
We believe that every couple should have a high-quality wedding album such as a flush mount album where the photos are actually printed on the pages.

The art of a print

Your photographs are intended to be presented as professional prints. A print is the end result of a photograph. A digital file is simply a negative.
If your photographer shot your wedding on film, you wouldn’t be satisfied with just the negatives would you? They wouldn’t be especially useful to you.

A print, on the other hand, is a work of art. It’s been retouched, enhanced, processed, and essentially “developed.” Creating photographic prints is a skill
that separates professionals from amateurs. Your wedding album tells your wedding story in a way that nothing else can. Loose prints only capture a moment.
Your disc with hundreds or thousands of images is simply raw, unedited footage (so to speak), and lacks the storytelling that an album provides.

Looking through that many images is overwhelming. It might be nice to have for your peace of mind, but it lacks the narrative that exists in an album.
When created by a professional, a wedding album captures your story so that you can share the emotion, the experience and the memories from your wedding day.

The Art of Editing Video

What is included?

What is included for Videography? When we are talking about Wedding
and other Special Events Packages it's not just about shooting the video.
It's the editing or what's known as Post Production. A video shoot of
about 4 - 5 hours will take somewhere between 30 hours to 60 hours
for editing. Editors charge around $50 an hour, which is why it's better to
have a "package" rather than priced by the hour. Editing includes bringing in
the hours of video into the computer, Viewing the footage minute by minute
and removing footage that won't be used. Reviewing again to remove reduntant
footage, etc. If two cameras are used this procedure is much longer of course.
Then adding special effects, titles, credits etc. Adding music, and tweaking
all audio. Then finally rendering the footage which takes hours before
inserting into the DVD creator program. This is now where the scene selections
are done then needs to be rendered again before burning the final DVD.
Why do we tell you that? Because sometimes it's hard to
understand the cost. So, when looking at the prices of the packages you
need to consider the total time involved to create your very entertaining DVD.
You want your DVD to be entertaining, like watching a blockbuster movie.
So... It's not "just" 4 - 5 hours of shooting! What is actually included is the shooting
of the video, post-production and the final creation of your DVD.

When you hear an inexperienced videographer say "we can do your wedding for only $500"
you can see that it is impossible to have a beautiful edited movie style DVD. You may even
come across some videographers say "we will video tape your wedding for free and if you
don't like it you don't have to buy it." Here is the problem with that... What if you don't
like it (and you probably won't)? There are no Do-Overs!

You will spend a lot of time and money on your wedding day, how will you remember it years from now?
Wedding photos are great but don't forget about the video!
Years from now you will really enjoy seeing your family and friends and best of all
passing on your video to future generations.
