Your Memories Preserved
H
ow will you remember your wedding day years from now? Don't miss your own wedding day. Since you will be very busy, emotional and stressed plus the fact that it goes by so quickly wouldn't it be nice to have your very own DVD of your wedding day? Book us today for your Videography and Photography!

Although some couples prefer having a wedding video in the traditional which is "the events as the day unfolds" we do prefer the cinematic style. We want to know you as a couple to create a Wedding Cinema much like watching a blockbuster movie. We are film makers and truly enjoy creating the video that will bring emotions and a feeling of a special personalized DVD movie capturing your personality. Let us show you a unique style and a DVD that all your family and friends will enjoy watching for years to come even your great grandchildren!

PRESS RELEASE:
We now offer Live Broadcast Video.
Since it is not possible for all the wedding guests to make it to the wedding there are alternatives. Shaw Productions Inc, a local videography and photography company is launching a new option for their clients.
Live broadcast of their wedding allows for the guests who cannot attend to be able to watch the event take place.

Suppose a bride and groom have friends and relatives out of state that cannot make it or, perhaps due to costs, need to limit the number of guests. This is a great solution. Venues that charge $92 per person multiply that by 50 extra guests could easily rack up costs exceeding $4,500 so it is a better option to offer Live Broadcast Video over the internet.

When the vows have faded to silence,
when the petals have dried up and are gone,
when candle has melted, music has stopped,
and the smiles have all disappeared.
When the room has emptied of its guests,
when the limousine has driven away,
when the tears have all dried, laughter faded,
when the last dance has been danced,
when family & friends have said good-bye.
Your video will remain.

One camera view vs Two camera view:
We cannot stress the importance of having more than one camera video taping at the same time. If only one camera is used many things can happen that cannot be fixed.
1. People will walk in front of the camera. (with 2 cameras we can switch footage to the second camera)
2. People sometimes accidentally kick the tripod (with 2 cameras, we switch to second camera during the jiggling scene)
3. Zooming in and out has to be used too much (this results in amateur looking video)
4. Can't get both close ups and pan viewing (one camera can't be shooting everything at once)
5. Audio drop outs cannot be fixed (audio from second camera can be patched in)
6. If tape has to be changed you will lose footage (no footage can be shot while tape is being changed)
7. Since there is no "do over" anything that goes wrong could be a disaster. Ah.. the dreaded Murphy's Law!
Don't risk this. Especially for a wedding ceremony! It's always nice to have footage from the back and footage facing bride & groom.  If your budget is tight, think of other things to do without. Not your video because years from now this will be your most treasured memory.


Why you don't want Uncle So & So to video tape your wedding:
OK, so someone you know has offered to use their camcorder to videotape your wedding. Here are the problems with that.
1. When he starts enjoying himself and talking to people and drinking there goes captured video down the tubes.
2. They generally film the people and things they like more than what you like or want.  I have seen before where they filmed almost the whole time their own children etc and trust me, it's easy for Uncle So & So to get side tracked.
3. If if turns out bad (and probably will) you will have hard feelings.  And of course you can't do over.
4. There is just no comparison between professional video equipment and uncle so & so's camcorder.
So how do you tell someone you love that you don't want them to video tape your wedding? Simply say "Uncle so & so, Thank you so much for your offer but we have hired a videographer and besides, we want you to relax and enjoy our wedding instead".



Besides not having family and friends videotape or take photos of your wedding, here is another tid bit of a disaster waiting to happen... letting friends or family be the DJ or emcee. Here is ultimately what happens: They enjoy your wedding, start drinking and before you know it your wedding is way off course. All of a sudden you realize that half your guests have gone home and you haven't even cut the cake! So you have to ask yourself, do you want them to be a part of your wedding celebration or do you want them to work?

Irene Conlan who is an ordained minister in Arizona has some great suggestions:

Most of us have some strong negative feelings about “do’s and don’ts” just like we dislike other people telling what we must and must not do. but sometimes knowing where the pitfalls are ahead of time keeps us from falling into a hole we can’t get out of. And sometimes knowing what others did that did or did not work for their wedding helps us make our wedding even more special. As an officiant some of my recommendations are:

1. Do make your wedding a joint venture between bride and groom. Some grooms just want to know what to wear and where and when to show up. Some brides want to call all the shots and make all the decisions. Make your decisions together - you will be doing this for the rest of your lives and this is a good place to start.

2. Do get everything that can get done in advance done as far in advance as you can. You don’t want to discover the day before your wedding that you have forgotten to get your marriage license or that your dress isn’t ready.

3. Do let your ceremony reflect who you are as individuals and who you are as a couple. This can be done with the music, readings, vows and other personal stories and selections you make.

4. Do take into consideration “family tensions” or “sore spots” when you plan your seating. If parents have divorced and remarried and have tension in each other’s presence, be sensitive about how they are seated at both the ceremony and the reception or dinner. This will prevent unnecessary stress and perhaps tears.

5 Do delegate, delegate, delegate. Let other’s help so when the week of the wedding arrives you have time to enjoy your guests and not arrive at your own wedding too tired to enjoy it.

Now how about the don’ts?

1. Don’t think you have to spend more money on a wedding than it would cost you for a college education or a new house. Some of the most beautiful and meaningful ceremonies are in someone’s back yard. It isn’t about how much money you spend but about the love between you. Think about how you can avoid going into your marriage on the edge of bankruptcy.

2. Don’t be shy about speaking up for yourselves. This is your wedding. Just because Aunt somebody-or-other had her bridesmaids in dresses that looked like those in My Big Fat Greek Wedding doesn’t mean you have to do the same. Or because Uncle I-think-I-can-sing-but-can’t wants to sing doesn’t mean you have to let him. Tell them how much you love them and thank each of them for their wonderful offer with a gentle statement that you’ve already chosen the dresses and planned the music (or whatever).

3. Don’t Procrastinate. This is another way to say what was said in #2 Do above. If you want a disaster the day before and the day of the wedding, just put things off. The more organized you are and the better you have delegated those “last minute” things, the more you will be able to participate in and enjoy wedding day.

4. Don’t have unrealistic expectations about having everything perfect. Beautiful? Yes. Perfect is harder. Remember that this is a joyful celebration of love rather than an exercise in perfection. Most of us are not “practically perfect in every way” like Mary Poppins and we make mistakes. The mistake is generally the thing that gives you the fondest memories. I officiated a near perfect wedding and I was aware that everything had gone right. At about that point, a bridesmaid fainted. She was quickly back on her feet and the ceremony proceeded, again, perfectly. There was no way this could be anticipated and prevented. They will talk about it with fond memories for years to come.

5. Don’t drink alcoholic beverages prior to the ceremony. There are enough challenges without having a best man or even the groom (or the maid of honor or even the bride) drunk at the ceremony. Yes, nerves are jangled and tension is high. But you don’t want the officiant to say, when it’s time for vows, “Please slur after me . . .”

What lasts as long as your rings? The cake? The flowers? When you are shopping for the caterer, the florist, etc. you are shopping for the "occasion" but when you are choosing the videographer and photographer you are buying something that lasts as long as your rings.

Prior to their weddings, barely 50% of brides listed videography as the top 10 items for their wedding. However, after the wedding their opinions changed and nearly 80% placed videogrpahy among their top 10 and that number increased several years later.

Videography and Photography is your "to have and to hold." It's your heirloom and only video brings back the laughter, the tears, the emotions of your wedding day. You may not remember years from now who gave you the crystal bowl but years from now you will remember who was at your wedding!

Shaw Productions Inc believes that just showing up with a bunch of camera equipment doesn't make the memories. It's capturing the event through the eyes of the guests and capturing special moments. Then comes the most important part... the editing. Our unique editing of your movie style DVD is unsurpassed and require tissues when watching.


Tips & Tricks and Things you should know!

Choosing your Officiant or Minister
OK, so you have this dream wedding that you have been thinking about for a long time (maybe even since you were a little girl). You think you have everything planned and all the details of how you want your wedding to be. It may be in a church, a wedding chapel or some other site. But you have all your details planned out and then, BAM, the Officiant or Minister is playing stand up comedian. I think sometimes they just perform so many ceremonies that they get bored and they like getting laughter. Regardless, this is YOUR day, not their time to perform for an audience. I have seen brides very upset over this practice! We suggest you go over details with the Officiant before your wedding or at least at the rehearsal. Talk about your desires now so that you are not devastated later. If you want your ceremony to be serious and sacred you better speak up (or for ever hold your peace). If you want to say something cute and funny that's ok, you have that right, but no one else should have that right.

One time I edited a wedding video of a ceremony that was only 10 minutes long. I counted 11 times that the minister cracked a joke and people laughed. Here are some of the things that I have witnessed at wedding ceremonies:

1. A father of bride was giving away his daughter. The minister said "who gives this bride... and father replied "I, her father" then minister said "are you sure about that".
2. Many times I have heard after vows the minister saying "is that your final answer"
3. During vows minister says "for richer for richer" (for the bride repeating after the minister)
4. One time I heard the Groom say his own vows to Bride and it was really touching but then when it was the Brides turn, the minister said to her "OK, your turn but can you top that" (that wasn't funny, that was rude in my opinion)
Trust me, I could go on and on about this. Once your ceremony starts it's to late to do anything about this. And don't just think it happens in chapels because I have seen ministers doing this inside church ceremonies, so don't assume!

This information is for GUESTS attending a Wedding!
1. Never wear white to a wedding. That should actually be obvious but it needs to be said!
2. Men, don't wear tennis shoes with a suit. Just purchase comfortable shoes but please keep those reboks for the gym! Men should always respect the occasion and dress nice and when in doubt, wear that tie!
3. If it's a church wedding, never wear sequins or inappropriate attire. No big hats. And never outshine the bride or look sexier than the bride and never wear lace.
4. If you know you are going to be in the photo shoots, stay away from bold and colorful prints and graphics.
5. Look nice. That's the bottom line. Don't look like you couldn't decide on washing your car that day or going to a wedding!
6. Never Ever get drunk.


What is TRASH the DRESS?  What to do AFTER the wedding!


Trash the dress refers to Photography and Videography that contrasts your wedding dress in an environment in which it is completely out of place. Generally the shot is done in unusual places such as sitting on an old abandoned rusted out car or perhaps playing in a water fountain. It could be something of interest such as, let's say your husband works on heavy equipment, you could have your photo session focused on and around the heavy equipment. The photos we do for this is more like art. Some of the best shots are done in black and white or sepia tones. We also video tape the photography shoot and put it on a DVD. Naturally you will do this after your wedding. Some prefer to do it soon after the wedding, some do it on the one year anniversary. Best not to wait too long because the wedding dress may not fit. 

This is also great for Prom Dresses too!

Watch our Trash the Dress shoot!
