take the lead.

PREPARING FOR THE BIG DAY
Starts here
10. CAMERA
The act of capturing that important moment when two people
tie the knot has evolved into an art form. To produce the best
possible results, we bring a variety of videography equipment to
each event. Each cinematographer brings his/her DSLR camera,
with back up camera, prime lens set and stabilization
equipment. We have developed customized DSLR camera
profile settings to ensure our image standards are consistently
beautiful. We will provide an additional unmanned DSLR
camera set up for the ceremony to capture a third unique angle. AUDIO/
LIGHTING
Our approach to lighting is about sustaining the natural
environment. Our cameras retain high-quality imagery in most
lighting scenarios. We want people to look their best on camera,
so we do bring lighting and use it sparringly. We may put a light
on during speeches or critical moments to enhance the subject's
natural appearance.
We provide a full audio recording suite: wireless lavalier
microphones, XLR band/DJ cable plug-in and an H4N recording
device. Audio recording is significant to the storytelling process,
so we mic the groom and the officiant for the ceremony and
record the entire reception through your band or D.J.

14. We only use music we can legally license and unfortunately,
not every artist allows their music to be used.
We only use licensed music for two reasons. We purchase the
rights to our wedding film music so the artists we love get the
royalties they deserve. Secondly, we want to protect you and
our company from copyright infringement lawsuits.
As filmmakers, we love when couples give us the
flexibility to choose the right music for the edit, but we
also understand your desire to be a part of the process!
The music selection is the easiest way for you to provide
creative input. If you prefer to choose the music, we offer
an opportunity to pick a song from our curated list
of licensed music!
