Wedding & Event Video Cameras:
We use the latest JVC and Canon three-chip digital video cameras - rated at broadcast quality and capable of producing superb quality pictures and sound rendition. These are fully portable and can be shoulder mounted to capture those spontaneous moments.

Special hi-definition video equipment for super clarity video filming.

These are cameras held in our equipment range:

During the Church Service and Reception we use Tripods to provide maximum stability and ensure professional smooth videography for

close up, panning and zoom sequences utilising video lanc controllers to ensure highly professional videography.

Video Lighting:
Lighting- additional lighting is not usually required as these are professional video cameras with excellent low light recording capability.

Should some additional lighting be required we always carry additional small and unobtrusive lighting ranging from video camera mounted lights to small tripod mounted lighting:

This will allow us to create some very nice lighting effects such as halo, soft focus, light sunburst effects, these look especially nice when framing certain facial and other shots in both creative indoor outdoor situations.

Sound Equipment:
Sound - These Video Cameras carry high quality microphones which record very high quality sound.

During the entertainments at one of our recently filmed Anniversary Receptions a Jazz Band were hired for the Entertainment.

On seeing and hearing the footage played through a home cinema and surround-sound hi-fi system the band were so impressed with the quality of the 48khz sound that they had their own DVD commissioned and an audio CD was made with the tracks having been recorded direct from the Video Camera Microphones.

We also have capability to record to camera direct from up to 4 XLR sources for mixing desk to camera recordings.

Video Editing - Post Production:

During the day the video cameraman will capture a tremendous amount of footage based around every aspect of the days events (almost twice as much if using a second cameraman) all this footage will need careful editing and combining of scenes at just the right moment to arrive at a creative and stlylised final production.

Then fade, special effects, subtitling and and music is added to create a tastefully and professional produced video.

To accomplish this we utilise Adobe Premier Pro 2 The industry professional standard for high end film production.

Here are Typical Wedding Day Events that usually require Filming and Editing:

1. Bride and bridesmaids preparations * optional please ask about this aspect ( always kept discrete and G rated!)
2. Exterior of Church.
3. Wedding Party arriving at Church.
4. Continuous roll of ceremony, from prior to bride's entrance to the
couple's walk down the aisle.

Ideally using two cameras:
Camera A - Tripod Mounted in the back third of the church or balcony.

Camera B - Shoulder mounted & Positioned on the bridesmaids' side of the aisle at the altar steps. Camera shooting of the
procession. After the bride arrives, we move to a Tripod placed behind the
officiant and on the Groom's side. This gives the best shot of the Bride
during the vows. This is coordinated and cleared with the officiant.

5. Any special touches in the ceremony including solo song, unity candle lighting, etc.
6. Reaction shots of bride and groom's families.
