Videography

Our discreet cameramen will videotape your big day without getting in the way. We’ll remain in the background as much as possible, while capturing all of your most memorable moments. Best part of all is WE DON’T USE BRIGHT LIGHTS! Our 3 chip, HD cameras perform very well in low light situations and all editing is digital on computer.

Will I be able to hear my vows? In order to capture the most quiet moments, we’ll use a wireless mic on the grooms lapel. This mic picks up the bride, groom and anyone else within ten feet of the groom’s lapel. [Back to Questions]

Will everyone in the church be able to hear us? No, the mic is only connected to the camera, and not the house sound system. [Back to Questions]
