WHICH PACKAGE SHOULD WE CHOOSE?
In determining which package is the best fit for you, we usually suggest using the timeline of your day, and the hours of coverage you’ll need, as the primary parameter. We suggest having your cinematographers arrive during the last hour of getting ready and stay until the just after the cake cutting. We find that this approach yields the most comprehensive footage, and that which best contributes to the overall narrative of the film.
DO WE GET TO CHOOSE THE MUSIC FOR THE FILMS?
Prior to filming and editing, we’ll reach out with a questionnaire which helps us prepare for the day of and for post-production. With this worksheet, we solicit editorial input including music suggestions for the full length and highlight films. You’ll also be able to provide day-of specs (arrival and departure times based on your contracted hours, contact numbers) and an itinerary of the day’s events.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
Our professional cameras and equipment are at the cutting edge of what’s available. We invest extensively in making sure that we are shooting your wedding on the best equipment available. Our cinematographers are outfitted with Blackmagic 4k Cinema cameras, Canon 5D Mark 3 cameras and the highest quality prime and zoom lenses. Teams also have sliders and glide cams available.
HOW DO YOU WORK ON THE DAY-OF?
One of your cinematographers will be with you while you’re getting ready, getting candid footage of you and your friends, details of your dress, jewelry and shoes, the invitation, the rings, etc, and the other will be with your fiance(e). We’ll meet up (either at the first look or at the ceremony) and then you’ll have two camera angles (or three, depending upon the package you choose) for all the events throughout the rest of the day. We’ll be present for all the staples of reception — entrances, introductions, first dance, parent dances, cake cutting — and get enough dancing to show how much fun the party was.
HOW DO YOU RECORD SOUND?
We capture sound for the ceremony via two sources; 1. plugging into the sound board or PA and 2. outfitting either the groom or the officiant with a small, wireless lavalier microphone. The microphone is very discrete and unobtrusive — we promise. The body is smaller than your palm, and just tucks into the inside jacket pocket, and the microphone itself is about the size of the top of your pinky, and just wraps around and clips under the boutonniere.
ARE YOU INSURED?
Yes, we are fully insured and can provide a certificate of insurance upon request. Our provider cannot issue COI’s more than four months in advance of the date. Please allow one business week for certificates to be provided.
