This July 4th beach wedding was shot in Angola NY for Tiffany King and Ryan Detzel. He was to be the "shipwrecked gentleman rescued by his beautiful mermaid" with the moto "good things come to those who wait."

This beautiful ceremony shoot had several challenges to overcome:

Sand -- shooting on the beach means extra care for equipment (one grain of sand can wreck havoc on cameras!).
No Problem!: our cameras are weather-wrapped to protect them for outdoor shoots.
Wind -- wind coming off the water can wash out the audio.
No Problem!: Camera positioning with 3 cameras assured at least oen camera would be protected from the wind. Coupled with wireless microphones, we maintained 100% audio throughout the ceremony.
Visibility -- intimate and special, the pastor unexpectedly invited the guests to leave their seats and come close to (surround) the couple, blocking our well-positioned cameras. As rain picked up, umbrellas were also, protecting the bride and groom but also blocking our cameras.
No Problem!: Our team staggered repositioning so we always maintained coverage during transitions. The non-fixed cameras were shot handheld standing on chairs, nealing beneath umbrellas -- while remaining discreat.

These challenges were easy for us to deal with, because we were prepared, skilled, and love what we do!

Theatrical Productions

Stage productions tell a story, whether through movement, spoken word, instrumentation or song. Re-telling that story so that the home viewer is emersed in your production, is an art. Unlike single-camera setups (a "Camera on a Stick"), we treat your production with respect using 3-5 camera setups, meticulous editing and authoring extras to make your DVDs a lifetime keepsake.
