Equipment

The equipment I use will ensure that you receive only the highest quality video. This is accomplished by incorporating all-digital shooting and editing in each production.

For shooting, I only use 3-chip digital cameras. This results in the highest quality video. Most consumer cameras use only a single chip. A 3-chip camera will result in image quality as good as or better than what you'd see in a professionally produced television show.

Because the equipment I use is all-digital, there is virtually no generation loss when copying the final video to VHS or DVD. When normal VHS tapes are copied, you can easily tell which is the copy and which is the original. With digital video, the copy looks just as good as the original.

To compliment the all-digital shooting and editing, I implore the use of the following additional equipment:

Wireless Microphones
I want to make sure you can hear your vows and other important parts of the ceremony where the bride and groom speak. I place a wireless lavalier microphone on the grooms tuxedo to clearly pickup your voices. The microphone and cable is discreetly placed on the lapel of the tuxedo near the boutonniere.

Video Lights
There’s nothing worse than watching a video that is too dark. I make sure that doesn’t happen by using video lights on the cameras. They are adjustable, which means that they can work with any shot without the need to switch to another light.

Heavy Duty Batteries
All of the camera and lighting equipment need plenty of power. I use belt and shoulder packs to ensure that I have enough power to last me through the day and beyond!

Professional Video Tripods
I want your video to look as steady as possible, so I use professional tripods to accomplish this. During the ceremony is where they come in quite handy. I can gracefully pan around without any of the jerkiness you might get from using less expensive tripods or no tripod at all.

Shoulder Harness
For those moments where I need to move around and cannot use a tripod, the shoulder harness is ideal. This keeps the camera mounted steady on my shoulders.
