Why should I hire KVP?
Choosing the right videographer is very important. Filming a wedding is a one shot deal, so you have to make sure you choose the videographer that fits you best. We specialize in creating a product that is tailored to your personalities. We'll meet with you prior to your day and capture your thoughts and expectations. Then come the special event, we'll be prepared to capture footage that will help us create the video that you'll enjoy most. Call and let's set up a meeting and see if we're a fit.

What can I expect from your product?
We don't have a cookie cutter approach to videos. We want to film and capture the events of your day from a perspective most memorable to you. Some couples prefer the classical approach. Some prefer a whimsical approach. While others want a combination of the two. We can guarantee that our ability to combine artistic flair with touching humor is unparalleled. We'll have as much fun making your video as you will watching it.

How long will the final version be?
Edited tapes can range from 15 minutes to upwards of 3 hours depending on the length of the ceremony and the amount of peripheral activity included in your package. Part of what we'll discuss up front is what you want your video to be. Since we don't adhere to a formula when making videos, the boundaries are limitless.


Is your equipment professional and up to date?
The cameras used are compact, professional quality, digital, three-chip DV video cameras. The footage is artistically loaded to a computer based top of the line editing software. Your DVDs (or VHS tapes if you want), will look as clear and as bright as they can possibly be.

Are you and your equipment inconspicuous when you are shooting?
Most couples remark that they didn't notice we were there and are surprised by the extensive coverage. Our videos are in a style of documenting, not directing or staging. We focus on trying to capture what's happening not force it.

Do you use lighting?
While some light may be necessary to use (small, on-camera light) during the reception because of the low available light in most halls, lights are rarely ever used at the ceremony. Some night weddings require lighting. We don't want to bother or annoy you or your guests. With our three-chip digital camera we can make the best of low light situations.

Do you have back-ups in case of equipment malfunctions?
We keep backups of every piece of equipment in case of an emergency. Usually the biggest need is for batteries, which can be replaced in a matter of seconds. With multiple cameras on site, we protect ourselves from losing even a second of footage.

Will you travel to nearby locations?
We're available to shoot weddings anywhere in North Florida or South Georgia. We won't charge anything extra for single trips to locations within an hour or two of Tallahassee (including St George island). For other locations throughout North Florida and South Georgia, there may be an additional mileage charge. We will also consider metro Atlanta, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, and as far west as Biloxi.

Will you be professional in your appearance?
Absolutely. You can only expect a class act, both in demeanor and dress. Again we want to stress that we're there to support you and your family, not to interrupt or disturb.

Do you tape other activities that are not held at the church or reception hall?
You bet we can. We've got a variety of creative ideas that can include: the rehearsal and/or dinner, preparations at the house, interviews with you and your family. It depends on what you want to include in your wedding documentary.

Are you available for beach weddings?
Yes! In fact, one of our own had his wedding on the beach and knows the in-and-outs quite well. There's no extra charge for a beach wedding. The Gulf Coast has several great locations, just let us know which one(s) you're considering. Or simply call for some advice.

Do you require a retaining fee for your services?
Yes, a retainer of 1/3 of the contracted total is standard. All of that amount (less $100) is refundable up to 30 days before the ceremony in case of a change of date or postponement. The second 1/3 is due a week before the wedding day. The final 1/3 balance is due upon delivery of the final product. Internet access is required for credit card payments (Paypal is accepted).

Do you interview guests at the reception?
Interviews are pretty popular. When people are having a good time, they generally like to talk and give the bride and groom some advice, or more likely tell some nice stories. If you prefer us to not do interviews, please let us know.

Can we select music for you to use in the editing process?
Yes. Songs are extremely important to the video, so if you've got music you want included, please let us know and we'll include it. We've got quite a selection of music that we can choose from. It's also important to let us know genres/artists to avoid.

Can we have special photos, slides or home video edited into our wedding video?
Another great idea! We can include a "Photo Montage" into the package. This is a great accessory to have for the rehearsal entertainment and/or to play at the reception. We can get together prior to the wedding day and prepare a montage with pictures of bride and groom growing up, family members, etc. In some cases, we can even get pictures from the wedding and include them in the reception slide show.

How soon can we expect to receive our edited DVD(s) and/or tape(s)?
Our goal is to have a completed project within 60 days of the wedding. Depending on the complexity of the wedding and/or the "personality" of the video, we may even have it done earlier. If there are any delays (busy season, etc.) we'll let you know as soon as we can. We're also flexible with your schedule as well. We had one bride that wanted copies within two weeks to give as gifts to family members.

Can I preview the wedding video before you're done?
You bet. Its YOUR video, so we want you to be happy with it. Some couples like to preview a "draft version" of the video within about 30-45 days, some couples like to wait until its complete and be surprised. Bottom line is it is your keepsake, so let's make sure that it fits you!
