North Steele Video, Inc.

Why should you have your wedding videotaped?

Your wedding day -- one of the most cherished events of your life.  Countless hours will be spent making sure everything is perfect, right down to the last detail.  The  electricity of the day, tears of joy, laughter and ambience surrounding the ceremony and the reception can only be revisited via video.  You can relive your wedding with your family and friends (particularly those who were unable to attend) all of the events of your special day in real time -- you and the love of your life sharing the emotions and happiness of the day.

Video goes far beyond traditional photography to deliver your wedding back to you in such a way you feel as though you were there again and again.  North Steele Video, Inc. provides movie-quality videos.  Couples confess they feel and see more of their wedding day replaying the video than they did being there!  A video will show you how smoothly your procession unfolded, the look on the groom's face (from awe to love) at the first sight of his bride, the expression on your parents' faces while the ceremony takes place.  Emotional events are captured as they unfold from  pre-ceremony coverage to the reception.  These progressive events cannot be captured by still photography. 

Imagine the joy you can provide to your loved ones with a copy of your wedding on video!  Family and friends can order additional copies of your wedding (all packages include three copies at no additional charge.)  You can choose to have your pre-ceremony events videotaped or choose to play a movie-quality video surrounding your love story during the reception.  These options can be included in your package for a reasonable price.

Wedding photographers usually charge about twice what a wedding videographer charges, yet you receive so much more from videography!  As a wise wedding industry expert once said, "The future holds but two possibilities -- those that had their wedding day taped, and those that wished they did."  Which will you be?

What makes a good videography choice?

Experience:  The more experience the better! 
North Steele Video, Inc. has 31 years experience in visual media and over nine years producing quality videos.

Equipment:  The type of equipment used is vital to the best quality production.  The new three-chip digital cameras provide a sharp broadcast-quality picture with vivid colors to provide state-of-the-art quality in all light conditions.  Using multiple camera angles will help to capture all the emotion during the ceremony and reception.  Digital non-linear editing equipment will provide a movie-quality finished video.  In addition, a wide variety of special effects are available on digital editing systems.
We cater our services to fit your needs and your budget. Equipment available to you includes multiple state-of-the-art Sony 3-chip digital cameras, Canopus non-linear editing system and much more.  We have the ability, equipment and experience to make your wedding video a movie-quality event.

Lighting:  Lighting for wedding videos must be adequate to ensure picture quality, yet be discreet to avoid annoyance.
North Steele Video, Inc. uses both fixed dimmable and  portable, battery powered, on-camera lights.  These lights are used only for the pre-ceremony and reception tapings.  No lights are used during the ceremony without prior consent.

Sound:  Sound is as important as the picture quality.  You should be able to clearly hear vows, music, dedications, etc. without static, humming or other sounds in the background.
North Steele Video, Inc. uses a recording system called "mini-disc™" made by Sony.  This is a very small unit that provides CD quality sound for your videos.

Product Demonstration:  You should be shown an example of the videographer's work.  Look for quality, sound, smooth appropriate scene transitions and flattering lighting to avoid the "deer in the headlights" look.
