Your Memories Preserved
How 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.
Here's
a wedding gift that you'll
cherish
for years!

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".
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 . . .”
