Why Edmonton needs to have more wedding video services

Budgets are tough these days, so why spend money on our video services?.

As technology gets better, almost anybody can make their own quality wedding videos from family or friends. There are also other talented wedding video production teams in Edmonton.

The difference between our services and those mentioned above is that what we offer is a time capsule of history… your history, the history of your family for generations for them to see. I also provide an opportunity for local film students and industry professionals to learn and make extra money.

It is not about the fancy effects and cinematic experiences to show off to others. While we can offer that, it is about those you care about at one moment and place in time, in the most important time of your life.

Shouldnt your family and friends be in the video, enjoying your wedding? Enjoying everything you have prepared for them to celebrate your day. Rather than behind the camera trying to make a video.

Here’s an annecdote… when my sister had her wedding, it took great lengths to bring our estranged parents to the event. Budgets were tight, not enough for her to have a video. Although my time was spent taking care of my father at the event, i offered to video the event, but found myself unable to do both, so as a good son, i chose to take care of my father while there.

A few months later, my father tragically passed away. While I remember the moments I was with him there, it was hard to see the whole picture of what went on. Yes we have photographs, but what we don’t have is a time machine. It would have been nice to have that moment of time captured forever to show our future generations. What video does is capture people as they truly are, at that time… a perfect time capsule of the happiest time of our lives.

Our services can tell the whole picture of your most magical day. What we offer is a time machine to this day. A day with all your friends and family being celebrating a new life together with those you love…. a new journey forward.

Our prices reflect the level of prosumer recording we can provide. And we do not discriminate if your religious traditions and ceremonies are longer than other traditions. Our prices also reflect your budget, as I dont believe in exploiting for profit from your moment.

For me, it is not about fancy filming, its about capturing forever….

My Camera, Your Wedding

The $400 Wedding Video Price Challenge is this… Ask for a quote, and we can negotiate the rate for any wedding, of any religion, to around $400-$600.

Why? Because times are tough, and budgets are tighter. If you’re need of a wedding videographer, and there’s no one else that can help your budget… give me a shout. Card1 SDHC 001

What is an EPEC Production

Because I am a single cameraman, (larger events will require me to hire on an extra hand thus driving up my costs) my coverage of events can be limited to wherever I have established myself at the venue. However with what I call “”Enhanced Personal Event Camera-cording (EPEC), I can combine footage & photos taken from Guests and Family, and combine them thematically and seamlessly throughout your video. Almost giving a 24 hours and 360 POV experience.

Feel free to ask about my a la carte pricing too, if you just need one type of service. Like a pre-wedding interview to show to guests at the reception.

Rates and Services

While this guide can be confusing, it breaks down how I price my services. They are not interchangeable between packages, but in each package, there are certain services that you do not have to choose or can opt out.

(SPECIAL!!!! $100 Off all Packages and my Start-up special for Wedding Ceremonies and Events Under 6 hours – Offer is Not Includded in my a la carte prices)

Rates will change according to availibility and personnel needed
Check out my a la carte prices and my packages.

The prices also show rates if you choose certain options that will reduce the overall costs. While the prices are low compared to other videographers. They also reflect the limits of equipment. My main video camera is 720p at 24 & 30fps and can give best quality on SD video or web-based media. The other is a 12.2 mp DSLR I also have a shotgun mic,  lavlier mics, and lighting equipment.

This also reflects the style of filmmaking I can provide, which is documentary or at best, indie music video quality. I call my premium services, EPEC editing (like EPIC, but without the big budgets). This means Enhanced Personal Event Cameracording, where I take footage and photos from guests from the wedding and create an enhanced viewing experience. This can help provide more opportunities to capture angles and moments, compared to a single camera recording the event.

Also, before you consider my services, here is a copy of the questionnaire which is needed to answer prior to or during a consultation. This is to help determine theme of the video, and give you an idea of how I operate and the kind of services that I can provide.
