Why do I need a videographer?
Videographers are trained to look for the most important moments, likely the memories that
you will want to remember. You can always have a family member do it , but we will get the
all of the coverage that is important to you now, as well as the moments that will be
important to you 20 years from now. We will be there from start to finish, do our task with no
interference from family or friends, do not participate in dancing, drinking or any other of
the other daily activities, nor are we there to tape our own children and most favorable
friends and family. We are there for you the entire day and to get everyone and all the
events you most care about on camera. Our equipment is professional grade, which will
give a more crisp picture, less camera movement, better audio and we do all of the editing
for you. You get the best day of your life on DVD, with your choice of music, photo montage
and it is all done with professional demeanor and quality.
Why do I need a wedding video, I have pictures?
The only way I can answer this question is to tell you why I am glad I have a wedding video.
Mark and I have been married for almost 14 years. In those years we have lost parents,
grandparents, great aunts and uncles as well as other loved ones. I get so much joy out of
putting in my wedding video and seeing my grandfather dancing, my husband dancing with
his grandmother, hearing the sound of my father in laws voice, and being reminded of those
memories that may have been forgotten, had we not taped our wedding. We also get to go
back and really see the difference in the time periods, (clothing, hair styles, slang), see how
much our friends, family and even ourselves have changed through the years. You see with
wedding video, you don't just get a photo, you get to see movement, emotion, talking,
laughing, crying and you get the memory in visual and audio. I am not saying photographs
are not just as important, because they are, but your wedding video is priceless.
Who are you?
Mark and I were born and raised here in South Bend, IN. Mark has worked for my family
owned business Torok Excavating for 15 years. I have owned my own pet grooming
business for the last 5 years and we have owned pm productions for 2 years, we are home
grown and firmly planted in the community.
Are you the one who will be videotaping my wedding?
Yes, when you hire us you get either Mark myself, or both as videographers. Other than
assistants that may take some candid shots. Mark and I do all of the main camera work.
Depending on the package you choose and how large the wedding is, you will get one or
both of us and a possible assistant.
How many cameras do you use?
Anywhere from 1 to 3 depending on how large the wedding is.
What kind of lighting do you use?
Camera lighting and soft studio lighting for the reception.
How many microphones do you use?
1 to 3 and a lapel mic for the ceremony if needed.
How do you edit the wedding video?
Non linear (computer) and the most up to date software.
Can I have my wedding on DVD?
All weddings done by us are on DVD. We also use light scribed DVD's, which means that
the image is burned directly in to the disc, no sticky labels that will fade and gunk up your
dvd players.
How do you stay up to date in the video business?
We go to yearly seminars and stay up to date with video education magazines and the best
tool ever the internet.
What other services or special effects do you offer?
We also offer transfer services, special fades for every occasion, photo montage, highlights
of your events, sporting events and much more. See our Services page.
What about the contract?
We can email you a copy of our contract if you would like to see it. We will go to your
rehearsal upon request and we will schedule either an in person or over the phone meeting
a few weeks before the wedding to go over everything and make sure we are on the same
page. You are guaranteed finished product within two months of the wedding date.
What will you charge to videotape my wedding based on the coverage I am
looking for?
Please see our services, package and Al A Carte pages.
Why is it important to have the copyright release?
It is important to have the release because, you never know what can happen in the years to
come. This way you have it and if the technology changes you will be able to have it
transferred to the newest format. Without the copyright release you will have to come back
to us to have it transferred, no other company will do it for you without the release, if
something unfortunate were to happen to us, you would be stuck. Perfect examples are the
old 8mm films and Beta tapes.
How do you conclude your pricing?
Right now, we are probably the most affordable videographers that you can find. We
believe in being reasonably priced so that those with even the tightest budget can still
afford us!
When you are paying a videographer, only a fraction of the cost goes to the time we spend
at the actual wedding locations. The rest of the fee goes to the editing time. We can
easily spend 30-50 hours in the editing chair per wedding. This is what will get you the best
quality dvd possible. It really is money well spent. If you don't think so now, you will in
10-15-20+ years!
