Your wedding is a one-of-a-kind event that reflects your personality and your unique identity as a couple. Steven Stewart Video believes that the same unique qualities that make your wedding special should also make your wedding video special. No two weddings are exactly alike, and the same is true of our videos. We offer a wide variety of packages and options for weddings of all sizes and budgets. We have filmed weddings ranging in size from ten guests to seven hundred, from back yards to churches to outdoor parks, and every single one of them required a different touch to make it perfect. Our wedding videos are presented on a DVD (or VHS tape if you prefer) that features an edited movie of the wedding and reception. Our DVDs are presented with a case and label, and feature interactive menus and scene selection. If the client has arranged for the rehearsal dinner or any other wedding event to be videotaped, the edited footage from said event will also be included on the tape or DVD. Steven Stewart Video strives to comply with the rules of the wedding venue. We will consult with the wedding director before the service to assure him or her that the videotaping will be done discreetly. We will arrive at the church approximately the same time the bridal party arrives unless other arrangements are made. One camera will be set up in the foyer or narthex of the church to film guests signing the register. Another camera will be capturing candid shots of the bridal party at different places in the church and will set up in a designated place for the wedding ceremony, usually in the back or in a balcony, and will remain stationary. A third camera will frequently be set up in the back or other discreet location for complete coverage of the event. After the ceremony, the bridal party and family members usually have their pictures taken with the bride and groom. We will tape the photo shoot and include this footage in the final video if requested. At the reception we will video the food, decorations, cake cutting, tossing the bouquet, tossing the garter, the first dance, and the guests. If the bride and groom have other plans or special video requests, please make these arrangements in advance. If you would like the guests to say something to the bride and groom, this can be arranged as well. All the video will then be edited into one cohesive, movie-like video and two copies are delivered to the client. Videos will be edited in a timely manner, depending on schedules and the number of videos that Steven Stewart Video is currently working with. Wedding videos are usually delivered within one month of the wedding, but additional editing time may be needed depending on the complexity and amount of footgage recorded at a given shoot. Remember, for every hour of video that we shoot, probably ten or more hours go into editing the footage. ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: Bride and Groom Interview: The bride and groom can have a video of them talking to each other about how they met, when they decided to get married, their plans their future, or any subject they wish to talk about. The setting and cost for this option will depend on their choice of a location and the length of the video. This option has been used along with the photo video at rehearsal dinner parties. Slide Shows: Often couples will have a slide show of pictures to show with musical accompaniment at a rehearsal dinner or reception. The client simply needs to provide the desired pictures in hard copy, in .gif or .jpeg format on a CD or via email and a CD of the desired music unless Steven Stewart Video already has the desired music in our library. Slides shows will be delivered on DVD or VHS tape. Additional Parties: If you would like to have other parties such as bridal luncheon, showers, engagements parties, picnics, etc. they can be included in the video as well. Joke Videos/Blooper Reels: Certain clients have requested that Steven Stewart Video compile a humorous take on their wedding video by editing together a video consisting of cartoon footage, funny music, sped up footage, wedding bloopers, etc. Inquire about this very unique option if it sounds appealing. Wedding Web Sites: If you want a cutting edge, up-to-the-second wedding video, you may want to consider having a web site for your wedding also. Steven Stewart Video can arrange for the design and hosting of your wedding site, as well as any video needs that you may need regarding this endeavor. For example, if you want a video of the bride and groom inviting guests to the wedding on the site, we can handle the production and uploading of this video. Maps, slide shows, pictures, and other items can be easily added to a wedding web site. We also offer custom videography that can accomodate any idea that you may want to include in your video. If you can think it, we can do it, so let your creativity run wild! ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: All video is shot using Canon DV cameras and edited using Final Cut and/or Sony Vegas editing software. For weddings, we typically use two or three video cameras depending on the size of the wedding. It is virtually impossible for one videographer to shoot an entire wedding using multiple cameras, so if more than two cameras are desired, an additional fee can be added to pay for the additional videographer. The client receives two DVDs or VHS tapes. Additional copies of the video are available for a small fee. A copy of the completed video(s) will be kept on file with Steven Stewart Video and more copies can be ordered whenever you like. DVDs will have custom made interactive menus and chapter selection options just like DVDs you buy from a video store. Most DVD players, and all DVD players made in recent years, play recorded DVDs fine, but some older models will not play them. Steven Stewart Video is not responsible if our DVD is not compatible with the client’s equipment. If the client would like a copy of all the footage shot in addition to the completed, fully edited wedding video, a copy can be made onto a VHS tape or DVD for a small fee. The original tapes can be ordered within 2 months of the event. After that time there is no guarantee that the tapes will be available to make additional copies. An hourly fee will be charged for additional editing done at the request of the client unless the additional edits are an error by the videographer. The spelling of names will be the client’s responsibility. Six hours is allotted to video the wedding and reception and three hours for a rehearsal dinner party. An hourly fee will be added to the balance for any hours over the two events. When a client calls and confirms a wedding date, a deposit of half the quoted amount is due immediately to hold the date. The balance is due when the video has been completed and handed over to the client. Cash or check is accepted.
