Which types of videography do you offer?
"RAW" (Un-edited) footage packages are our least expensive packages. We can actally deliver the video footage THE NIGHT OF THE EVENT! Copies are also available of the footage for a small fee per copy. Edited Packages are our most popular; as they include transitions between clips, may include photos from the photographer, effects and borders, music, moving menus, and so much more! Call us to discuss how we can get you the most for your budget!

Do you have lighting equipment to accomodate a more dimly-lit event?
We have full lighting rigs available.

Does the bride get to meet the videographers before the wedding?
We are a "eyeball to eyeball" full consultation company. For our out of town clients, we perform live web-conferences with planners, participants, our professionals, and the Bride and Groom if they would like!

How many videographers do you work with?
We have more than 10 Videographers in our network and travel extensively. Local events and United States events are our most common.

Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
We sign a "Production Agreement" prior to the event; at the time of booking. All services are agreed upon, initialed, and signed off by both the client and our representatives. Deposits are paid at the time of signing the production agreement. Our past clients have all agreed that they feel better knowing that we have a written agreement and are both bound by agreed terms.

Do you book yourself for more than one wedding in a day? Weekend?
No. We like to make ourselves available to our clients in case they would like us to stay to capture additional footage. We always have YOU in mind! Don't hesitate to request additional services from us up to the day of your event. We have "planned" the unexpected and are here to help if the need arises.

Do you have a replacement videographer in case you become unavailable on the wedding day?
We are VERY exclusive in our selection of videographers. Only submitted samples, and successful completion of their "working interview" allow them to become sub-contractors with our company. We absolutely provide replacement personnel as expert as your scheduled team.

What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
We have at least 2 Video cameras that we bring the day of the event. The "principal" and the "Back-up". We will typically bring a professional SLR digital still camera also and wear during the event; as many times we see "key candid shots" when the assigned photographer is shooting other subjects. MANY clients will purchase our photos in addition to the photographers (if we are not covering both the photography and videography for the event) as the additional coverage is very valueable!

Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes.

Do you require a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party provide your meal?
No.

How many breaks do you usually take throughout the day?
Depends on legnth of the shoot. All meal breaks are pre-contracted.

Do you charge overtime?
No. Our pricing includes all agreed upon time on the location.

Do you give access to your raw (Un-edited) footage?
Yes, but only available if specifically agreed in the Production Agreement for your contracted work with Distinctive Multi-Media. NOTE: all Raw (Un-edited) footage is deleted from our computers, erased from our company video storage online and all other forms of storage both online and physical 90 days after the original capture of your video footage. Be sure that you verify all un-edited footage is complete and free of format-related or transferrance (burning) issues immediately upon reciept. Distinctive Multi-Media is not responsible for retaining video footage unless specifically agreed upon in the Production Agreement for your contracted work.

How long does it take for the bride to get the video?
RAW (Un-edited) FOOTAGE video can delivered the night the reception is finished, of contracted to do so. DVD SlideShow video productions, and highlights videos (edited) are subject to their complexity, but usually do not take more than a few weeks to deliver
