Why Should I Have My Wedding on Video?
Today's video is first-rate and the new technology makes it possible to have a wonderful, tastefully done video that is on a par with broadcast work -- and with less intrusion than still photography. Thanks to technological advances in imaging and camcorder design, gone are the days of obtrusive lighting and cables on the dance floor!

After-wedding surveys reveal that those who had their weddings taped consider it an excellent investment, while those who failed to do so are often regretful. Video is the only way to capture sights...sounds...and motion. Your wedding day is the most important day in your life. You'll want to relive it with your family and friends. And you've spent an enormous amount of money on your wedding day with Flowers, Band, Limos, Reception Hall and lots more, the only way to see all of these items as they happened with motion and sound - is with video.

Why don't I just have a relative or friend use a video camera to tape my wedding?
An amateur-produced wedding video won't be watched very often because it is boring. The problem starts with the equipment. The typical camcorder used by an amateur produces a poor image in low light. Most churches and reception halls have low light. Problems get worse when you listen to the sound you get from a typical video camera: it's hollow and very difficult to hear...especially in large open areas like a church or reception hall where sound reverberates off the walls and ceiling. Next, the typical amateur doesn't have the means to edit the video into a tightly-knit production that tells your love story with emotion and impact.

We like the video concept, but examples we've seen are trite and boring. How can we get something better?
Keep looking. The video should should flow like a good novel. You may need to increase your video investment to be able to obtain someone who serves a more savvy clientele. Also consider asking for a 30-minute edited version, also called the short-form.

How long have you been in business?
Frameline Video has been videotaping weddings for more than 15 years. You may read some of our references online.

We've already reserved a photographer; why should we have our wedding videotaped as well?
Photographs are still an important part of capturing special events in our lives, but they don't tell the whole story. They can not actively capture the laughter, the spontaneity, the warmth, the love... Frameline video records the action of the moment without the posing of photographs, and enables you to relive the memories much more vividly. It's also terrific having a video to share with family and friends who aren't able to be with you to celebrate your wedding day.

Do you do interviews of guests at the reception?
On your request, Frameline Video will ask your guests if they wish to congratulate the bride and groom on the video. These comments may be edited later, if necessary. These mini interviews are strictly voluntary.

Is it expensive?
Frameline Video offers quality videotaping at affordable prices. We are very aware of how quickly costs accumulate when you prepare for a wedding. Therefore, our pricing structure offers several different packages and options, so you can tailor your wedding day videotape to your budget. Frameline Video has no mileage, distance or travel charges within Cincinnati, Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Our more popular packages include up to 8 hours of total videotaping time.

Should I seek the lowest bid?
Wedding video styles and approaches are varied. So far there is no certification procedure. Evaluate candidates based on polices, performance, and reputation. A price quote on the phone is meaningless unless relevant to your desires and event logistics. Remember the old saying, “you get what you pay for.” A professional wedding video is priceless!

How early do I need to reserve my wedding date?
The sooner the better, of course, to guarantee the availability of your date. While we are sometimes able to accommodate couples on short notice, we recommend three to six months in advance. During the more popular wedding months, dates can become unavailable a year in advance.

How do I go about reserving my wedding date?
In order to reserve your date, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required with a signed agreement engaging Frameline Video Production to videotape your wedding. Once we reserve your date, Frameline will no longer accept inquiries for that date.

What methods of payment do you accept?
Frameline Video accepts cash, personal checks, money orders or cashier's checks.

When is the balance due?
The final balance is due one week before the wedding ceremony. Most brides prefer to make incremental payments to avoid a large outlay of cash close to their wedding date. We are flexible to meet your needs.

How soon will the videotape be ready?
The turnaround time is incredibly fast at Frameline Video Productions! The video will be ready in 4-8 weeks. This is dependent upon you providing us all with material (such as photographs or song selections) necessary to complete the video. Often, couples are able to have their completed videotape long before their photographer's proofs are even available.

What happens if the current video technology goes obsolete?
Frameline Video Productions is proud to announce we can master your video tape to DVD.

What should I look for in demo videos?
Clear, understandable sound and crisp clear images with good accurate color and smooth camerawork. Due to the severe restrictions imposed by some churches, there will be instances where even the best videographer will not get the best results. However, a candidate who shows this should also be able to present some good-looking work. Like reading a book the video should flow and constantly move from one chapter of the day’s event to another.
