The travel fee helps cover our costs to travel to your event.  Our three-man crew will drive to your rehearsal, stay overnight in a hotel and then shoot your wedding all day the next day.  We need to pay for meals, gas, hotel and extra man-hours.  If your wedding is VERY far away, we'll need to stay in a hotel the night of the wedding as well, rather than drive home in the middle of the night.

Several factors work together to allow us to complete your DVD in such a short time.  Our "live switching" technique (see the Technical Stuff page) means we don't have to edit all 5 cameras together in editing for the ceremony.  This single factor alone saves us weeks of time versus conventional edit methods.  Another huge factor is the fact that we are a full-time staffed facility, not "weekend warriors".  Our in-house editing staff will devote several days to working on your wedding.

We have developed our "system" after over 20 years in the field.  We've found that 5 cameras provides all of the various angles necessary to properly tell the story.  With our multi-camera approach, we actually become LESS obtrusive.  We don't need to move around during the ceremony.  We're already everywhere.  The videographer with only one or two cameras is bound to have to move during the ceremony to get into position to get all the right angles...and what kind of a shot is he getting when he's busy roaming around the church?  The churches we go to appreciate the fact that we are unobtrusive and won't be roaming around during this important religious event.  It is, first and foremost, a religious sacrament, and then, secondarily, a video event.

Every member of the ViDeyo Arts staff that attends your event will be dressed completely in formal black attire.  Our men wear black suit coats and black slacks, our women wear black dresses.  We've found that this is not only the professional way to dress, it also helps us to "fade into the crowd", so that we don't draw attention to ourselves.

Almost always, it will be the owner and founder, John Deyo, shooting your wedding video.  On the rare occassion that John is ill or otherwise completely unavailable, another member of the ViDeyo Arts staff will fill in, each of which has over 10 years experience shooting weddings.

We don't like surprises any more than you do.  Attending the rehearsal removes most of the surprises.  Can can check camera angles, find electrical outlets, check the sound system and locate the most appropriate location for "switching".  We also use the rehearsal as a time to go over the details with you and also with the clergy or wedding coordinator.  We like to have them "on our side".  Attending the rehearsal also gives us a chance to meet the family and friends.  This helps in shooting the reception and other parts of the day, because now we know who the key players are.

Our packages are designed to meet the majority of peoples needs, but they won't work for everyone.  If you need a custom quote for coverage that better fits your event, just give us a call and we'll work with you to create a custom package just for you.
