L.A.O.C.WeddingVideoProduction

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 WHY IS VIDEO SO EXPENSIVE? Most videographers have a substantial amount invested in equipment and spend a LOT of time editing a video. Typically, I work between 40 and 60 hours carefully editing each wedding.
WHY DO YOU CHARGE SO MUCH LESS THAN OTHER VIDEOGRAPHERS WE'VE SPOKEN TO?

In the L.A. area there are a numerous production companies that do commercials, corporate films, depositions, and weddings on the side. Most of them do a great job. But, unless you hire SPIELBERG, you don't need to spend over $3000 for a wedding video!

I charge what I think is fair. Quick! HIRE ME BEFORE I COME TO MY SENSES!!!

 WHY DO YOU CHARGE SO MUCH MORE THAN OTHER VIDEOGRAPHERS WE'VE SPOKEN TO?

As you search for the right videographer, you will find some in the $500 to $1000 range. Chances are, they are using consumer level equipment and/or have been in business for a short time. It is also more likely that they won't have good (or any) back-up equipment.

It's still possible that they can produce a satisfactory video. I would encourage you to check out their demo and then compare it to ours.

 WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER L.A. VIDEOGRAPHERS?

A couple of things...

1. When you hire me, you get ME. From our first conversation through delivery of the final DVDs, I do it all. I'll never send someone else to record your wedding, and I won't give your raw footage to another videographer to edit.

2. I'll send you an "approval copy" to look over before I burn your final DVDs. Want something changed? You're not stuck - I'll fix it - in most cases free of charge.

WE ALREADY HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHER. WON'T PHOTOS BE ENOUGH?

NO!
OH COME ON. WHY DO WE NEED A VIDEO?  Here's why

 MY FRIEND HAS A VIDEO CAMERA. WHY NOT SAVE MONEY AND LET HIM DO IT?

I'll spare you the horror stories. Email me for the list. :o)
  WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU???

Because I will produce a video that will exceed your expectations. Colorful, crystal clear, rock-solid visuals. Smooth and tasty transitions, with a dash of subtle romantic effects for full flavor.

I'm a full-time videographer who specializes in weddings. I'm unobtrusive, and easy going. I won't add to your stress level on the big day. Most of the time, you won't even know I'm there.

I document the events of the day with an emphasis on all the little details you might miss. Using artistic techniques that are visually pleasing and interesting, you will be portrayed in the best possible light. Special effects are used appropriately and sparingly to avoid the dreaded "cheesy" look.

OUR VENUE REQUIRES THAT ALL OF OUR VENDORS HAVE BUSINESS LIABILITY INSURANCE. DO YOU?

Would I put that question in my FAQ if I didn't? ;o)

A growing number of hotels and other locations are beginning to require that all outside vendors are insured.

This would become important to you in the unlikely event that one of your guests would somehow become injured. I have a one million dollar policy.

 HAVE YOU WORKED AT OUR LOCATION(S) BEFORE?

I don't know, maybe. Click here for a partial list.

If I haven't worked there, I will contact the coordinator and visit the site before your wedding day. If possible, I will attend your rehearsal.

 HOW DO WE RESERVE OUR DATE?

I was hoping you would ask that question! To secure your date, a $500 retainer fee is needed. First, call us at 800-414-1610 to make sure your date is available. For your convenience, we accept all major credit cards.
