New! Unlimited Copies License for your Wedding Film

March 2, 2010

We now offer an unlimited copies license for your wedding or event DVDs

Until now, if you wanted additional copies of your wedding film, you would have to call us and order additional copies. We are now excited to offer an unlimited copies license for only $100. This will give you a license to make unlimited copies of your wedding film! No more hassle of ordering additional copies from us. Also, if you order this license, we’ll give you a usb flash drive containing an image file of your wedding film so that you can burn copies straight from that. You won’t be bothered with having to copy from a DVD.

Other videographers make you pay $20 or more for additional copies of their wedding videos. For a one time licensing fee, you can make additional copies of your wedding film in seconds, for free!

Additional Copies Ordered from Us

If you choose not to buy the unlimited copies license or if you would like to have additional copies with high quality printing, you can still order copies of your wedding  film from us. DVD prices are now just $10 and Blu-rays are $20 (plus sales tax and shipping). Other videographers still charge $20 or more for extra DVD copies and $30 or more for extra Blu-ray copies.

This is just another innovative idea that makes Denver Wedding Films the top wedding filmmaker in Colorado.

Top 10 Serious Questions to Ask Your Videographer

February 22, 2010

I talk to brides all the time. They ask the basic questions: how long will the videographer be there, how many videographers are there, how much does it cost, but they don’t really know what they need to ask their videographer. And why should they? Its not like they’ve had to hire a wedding videographer before. I want to give you some things that you need to talk about before you hire your videographer.

This is round one, I’m sure there are dozens of other tough questions to ask. I’ll post some follow up questions on another day.

10. How long have you been a wedding videographer?

This may seem like a basic question, but I am rarely asked it. Granted, we have an in depth “About Us” page on the website, but this is key. Wedding videographers seem to be popping up faster than coffee shops these days and you want to have someone creating your video that at least has some experience.

9. Do you charge a travel fee?

Make sure you find out if your wedding videographer is going to charge a travel fee and if so, how much. Make sure that it is stated on the contract before you sign it.

Speaking of contracts:

8. Can I sign a contract?

Signing contracts might seem like it is something that only protects your wedding vendors. This should not be the case. A well written contract is designed to protect both parties. In fact, if a contract outrageously favors one party, it may not hold up in the court of law.

7. What video formats will my wedding video be delivered on?

Just today I was looking at a local wedding videographer’s website and noticed that they still provide their wedding videos on VHS tape. I don’t know about you, but most of my friends haven’t had a VCR in 10 years. Make sure that they’ll deliver your video on DVD at least. You may also want to see if your videographer can deliver your wedding video on Blu-ray (so that you won’t have to have it updated later) and on the internet (to make it easy to show friends and family).

6. How much does it cost for extra copies of my wedding video?

I’ve seen wedding videographers charging upwards of $30 for every extra DVD copy. To me this is outrageous, I’m not in the business of selling DVDs. I sell my services as a wedding filmmaker, DVD copies are just the medium that I deliver them on.

5. How long will it take to deliver my final wedding video?

This should be discussed in the contract you sign with your wedding videographer (hint, hint!).   Realistically, anywhere from 3-6 months is an acceptable turnaround time for a wedding video, depending on how busy they are. If your videographer is promising to have the full length video finished 2 or 3 weeks after the wedding (barring a large extra price for quick turn around), then you should ask yourself why they won’t be spending more time to make sure everything is perfect. Anymore than 6 months and well, you should start sending out the bounty hunters to find your videographer.

4. Who will be my wedding videographer?

Now this may seem like a basic question, but I hardly ever get it. Maybe they just assume that the person they are talking to on the phone will be their videographer. Don’t assume anything. Always ask and find out who it is.

3. Do you talk to my other vendors before the wedding?

There is a long time rivalry between photographers and videographers. Who’s jealous of who? I don’t really know. A simple call to your photographer can open the lines of communication and make the way for a smooth wedding day for you. You also might want to make sure your videographer is going to call your DJ, unless you want the beautiful words of your toasts sounding like a muffled record player with a sheet over it.

2. Why are you a wedding videographer?

Wedding videographers are one of the vendors that needs to fit your personality well. You don’t want to find out that your videographer got into wedding videos because he needs to make a quick buck (obviously he doesn’t know anything about being a wedding videographer because we aren’t exactly living in mansions and buying yachts). You want to find someone that is passionate about what they do and just cares about your wedding specifically. They should be fun and someone that you get along with well; you’ll be spending 8 or more hours in a day with them, after all.

And the number one most important thing you need to ask your wedding videographer is:

1. Can I see recent samples videos of your work.

Let me repeat that, its so important: Can I see recent sample videos of your work.  No, the most important question is not how much do you cost…. You should be able to tell the cost of a wedding videographer just by looking at his sample videos.

Is the footage shaky? Can you hear the dialogue? Is the picture sharp? Are the colors bright? Are the bridesmaids’ heads cut off? Are there candid moments that would have otherwise been lost?

If you want to risk having a low quality video that misses important parts of your day then book a cheap videographer. If you want a wedding video that looks professional and is something that you’ll actually watch over and over again, is there really a price that you can put on those memories?

Denver Wedding Films and Trivision Pictures Goes High Definition

March 24, 2009

High Definition Video: The Best Way to See your Wedding Video

Denver Wedding Films™ and Trivision Pictures LLC are proud to be the first wedding videographer in Denver, Colorado to offer High Definition video standard in every package. All of our wedding videography packages now include at recording in High Definition Video. We can deliver your wedding video on Blu-ray and/or DVD. This is great when other videographers only give you the option of DVD or even just VHS!

Because everything in video is shifting to high definition, we want to make sure that your wedding video is not going to be obsolete in a few years. Blu-ray is the newest technology available, and it holds up to 5 times the amount of information as a regular DVD. Blu-ray discs also have a greater resistance to scratches so your video will last longer.
