from our family team (Al, Wendy, Jason, or Van) will be in charge of your
coverage.
We do not
subcontract any of our jobs.
Will

There will be at
least two camera operators at every ceremony so that we can capture all of
the planned (as well as the unexpected) moments
What
type of equipment do you use?
We use Sony 3-chip
digital (low light) cameras on tripods.
Some cameras may be
held freehand when necessary.

We use Audio-Technica wireless microphones to catch your wedding vows

In most instances
the microphone is clipped to the groom, however, use of the microphone is
optional.
What
format do you use?
We film everything
in high quality DV (digital Video).
Do
you edit the tape after the event?
All footage is
edited into a MASTER DVD with seamless edits and beautiful music. The DVD
will be divided into chapters for easy navigation throughout your DVD.
Can
I pick my own music?
The Wedding Couple
is encouraged to pick their own music prior to their wedding day.
However, we can
pick the music that reflects the desired mood.
Can
you include our "baby pictures" or engagement photos set to music on our
video?
25 – 30 "baby
pictures" or pictures of the bride and groom during their dating years is set
to music at the beginning of the video.
However, pictures
must be delivered or mailed prior to the Wedding Day to be included on the
Wedding Video or DVD.
Late picture
arrivals will result in the photo-montage to be
produced separately from the Wedding Video or DVD.
This option may not
be available in all packages.

The final
production will usually be available in 3 to 6 weeks.
What

non-returnable security deposit of only $100.00 dollars at booking.
Half of the
remaining balance is due 2 weeks prior to the ceremony.
The remaining
balance is due on completion.
Do
you charge extra for out of town weddings?
Weddings outside of
20 miles from downtown New Orleans are charged a nominal travel charge.
Distances beyond 50
miles must be discussed prior to booking.
Will
a downtown wedding cost me extra?
We charge a nominal
fee of $20.00 for downtown, CBD, and French Quarter Weddings.
It is not unusual
for the parking lots to fill-up with guest prior to our arrival and requires
us to park blocks from the wedding or reception.
Some major hotels
will offer complementary parking for vendors. In such a case where
complementary parking is available, we will not charge.
Why
should I use multiple camera shoots?
Many Churches restrict
movement during the ceremony. Multiple cameras allow for complete coverage
will less movement. The cameras are positioned for the best angles and are
not intrusive.
