Every winter, we receive emails from angry and upset couples who hired a cheap videographer to capture their wedding. These emails are filled with sadness and anger that their final product is terrible. They email our studio asking if we can *fix their bad wedding video. While good editing can help, there is NO magic in the editing studio that will ever fix poor video and audio. Its a done deal and you’re stuck with it.

An email from an upset couple that hired a discount videography company

….My husband is so upset , we both are in the way things turned out. As everyone we spent a lot of money, energy, and time planning our wedding and as beautiful as it was its not depicted as such in our video.
My request is if you would be able to somehow salvage this video through your wonderful editing to make it somewhat from the 21st century.

Another email from a couple

How much should you budget for your wedding film ?

It doesn’t come cheap, expect to pay a lot. The equipment and the time involved in editing your wedding film is intensive and costly. A good filmmaker, is a storyteller. Stories are told not only with images but with sound. Dialogue from your entire day is woven into the story. This makes your film captivating and emotional. Good equipment is expensive but more importantly, creative talent is priceless.

Return on your investment

Memories become more valuable over time. Here’s an email we received two years later from a couple who hired us to shoot their Manhattan wedding.

Hi Steve & Ton-Essa, ……you did our video in New York (2010) – ‘Manhattan’. I just wanted to congratulate you on the work you’ve been doing since we last saw you. We keep a track on your website and it’s absolutely outstanding. Our video gets watched all the time by us…and you wouldn’t believe how many friends say to us…”we were just watching your wedding trailer earlier to remind us of what a great time we had in New York”. It provides a fantastic memory of our day and more than 2 years on, I just wanted to thank you again and wish you guys all the very best for the future.

How Many Times Will You Re-visit Your film over your lifetime ?

Our couples watch their films hundreds of times and then re-visit their favorite parts as well. Its not a 1 shot deal. If its made well, you’re going to watch it more than once.

A Film of Your Wedding Is An Absolute Necessity

Hire the best and book early. The top studios book 1-2 years out and sometimes more.  Wedding cinematography isn’t a last minute add-on, its your memories and the ONLY way to re-live your wedding with friends and family.

If we could bottle the excitement that families get when we release a screening of their film, we would have lighting. How much are your memories worth to you ?
