Concerto Wedding Video

All weddings are filmed in high definition. 

The videographer will be available to work only in smoke-free locations.

 

Concerto Package: Starting at $625.  

The basic Concerto Package includes the following:

The videographer will visit the rehearsal to meet people and see how your ceremony will be carried out.

Ceremony

The complete ceremony will be videotaped with multiple cameras.  A wireless microphone or recording device will be attached to the groom to clearly record the vows.  If appropriate and approved by the officiant, a remote-controlled camera will be located by the altar to film the bride and groom's faces during the ceremony.  The ceremony is considered to begin with the entry of the bridal party.

Re-enactment of ring exchange

Videotaping a re-enactment of exchanging the rings, for cool close-up views. (The ring exchange re-enactment must be done immediately after the post-ceremony greetings, but it only takes 60 seconds to complete.)

Reception

The videographer will film important events at the reception until 9 pm (usually up to four hours), such as: Cake cutting, dinner speeches, dinner kisses, grand march, first dance, parent dances, and bouquet and garter tosses.

Final Video Product

You will receive 3 standard-definition DVDs of the final program.

The DVDs will be widescreen and have interactive menus in which important features are separated by chapter.

Your finished video will include:

-- Highlights – A video montage of wedding scenes set to music.  (Note: The client has the choice of music: I can use royalty-free music, the client can provide the music (MP3, wav files, or a playable DVD), or I can purchase the songs for $3/title.)
