Frequent Asked Questions

WHY SHOULD I HAVE MY WEDDING
VIDEOTAPED?
There is nothing like a professionally produced videotape to capture all
the sights and sounds of your wedding day, an event which has become
one of the major social events in a person’s life.  What better
opportunity to capture all of your family and friends so you can
cherish your day for years to come!  We have had several couples tell
us that having their special day videotaped was the best thing they did
on their wedding day.

CAN’T A FRIEND OR FAMILY
MEMBER VIDEOTAPE MY WEDDING?
Certainly, but don’t expect professional  results.  
All Videoworks Productions is an Emmy Award Winning Video
Production Company and has filmed over 2500 events since 1989. We
use high-end television cameras, digital mastering, special effects
generators, digital editing equipment, professional microphones,
tripods, and plenty of equipment to create a true television production.

WON’T THE VIDEOGRAPHER BE
OBTRUSIVE AND DISRUPTIVE?
All Videoworks Productions makes every effort to record your
wedding unobtrusively and tastefully, using no lights at the ceremony,
remaining stationary and silent throughout and using a documentary
style of videography.

WHEN DO YOU BEGIN FILMING?
All Videoworks Productions requires a minimum of 30 minutes prior
to the scheduled ceremony starting time in order to set up our
cameras, microphones and make a proper test of all the equipment.  
We spend anywhere from 4 to 8 hours covering each wedding, but 6
hours is usually sufficient to get complete coverage of an average
wedding.  

HOW LONG WILL THE FINISHED
VIDEO BE?
The length of wedding video can vary depending on what video
package was purchased and how long the ceremony and reception
runs.  All Videoworks Productions likes to edit a complete production
down to about 1 to 2 hours in length.  This allows the presentation to
flow and not be boring.  It won’t be “just another wedding video,” it
will be a “documentary of your day!”

WILL YOU ATTEND THE
REHEARSAL?
All Videoworks Productions usually will not attend the rehearsal
because of other commitments, but we will attend a few if we feel that
it is necessary.  We are already familiar with many sites.  If your site is
not familiar to us, we arrange time to seek out optimum camera
angles, available lighting and whatever is helpful to make  the
production its best!  

ARE YOUR PRICES NEGOTIABLE?
Our prices are based upon our over 18 years of experience in covering
hundreds of events, as well as the high quality of professional
equipment that we use.  Therefore prices are not negotiable.  We
encourage you to shop around and compare, but please LOOK at the
actual work, don’t just shop by phone or over the Internet.  There are
wedding videographers that do charge less, but be aware!  They do not
have the awards, talent or equipment that All Videoworks Productions
have.

WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR
FINAL PRODUCT?
All Videoworks Productions has high-end….very expensive editing
equipment that allows us to produce an excellent product.  We are able
to process video faster than most other video production companies in
the country.  This allows us to keep our prices down and you will
receive your Wedding DVD's within two to three weeks of your
wedding day.  

WHAT IF MY CHURCH OR SITE HAS
RESTRICTIONS ON VIDEO?
Some churches and synagogues have guidelines, such as limited camera
positions, no flash photography, etc.  We strive to place a camera in a
position which affords us a clear view of your faces during the
ceremony.  This is not always possible because some churches or sites
restrict all videotaping to the balcony only or back of the church.
