A well-produced wedding video is a highly cherished keepsake. These days, anyone can go out and buy a camcorder and start passing themselves off as a "professional wedding videographer".
At SEVideo, we pride ourselves on meeting all the needs of our wedding clients. We love the creative aspects of producing your wedding video and making you a delighted customer.
If you want a quality video rexord of your special day and are not just looking for the lowest price, we suggest you ask you any professional wedding videographer the following important questions:
Click each question to view SEVideo's answers
How many years of experience creating professional wedding and special event video productions?
The Principal of SEVideo started doing professional video productions as Micrin Video Productions in Upton, Massachusetts in 1984. Our event coordinator has shot dozens of weddings in the Rochester area.
Do you shoot ALL of your weddings using 3-chip digital cameras?
Our primary camera is the Sony VX2000. We have experience with Canon GL1 and XL1 cameras and believe that the Sony is far superior in the lighting conditions one finds in most weddings. We bring backup 3-chip digital cameras, either a Sony VX2000 or a TRV900. We also bring backup videotapes, microphones, etc.
Do your videographers carry cell phones to be able to confer with other staff members in case of problems?
All SEVideo staff members have their own cell phones. Key SEVideo staff members carry Nextel business phones that offer cellular as well as direct-connect capabilities.
Will you stay to the end of the reception festivities or do you have a time limit? Do you charge overtime?
We do not have a time limit. We will stay until YOU feel it is right. We do not have overtime charges.
Do you use a non-linear editing system that maintains the digital quality throughout the entire editing process?
We utilize Media 100 Cinestream non-linear editing systems that do not degrade the picture quality in the slightest. Be wary of any analog editing systems as they usually mean making a copy of the original video as part of the editing process. Making a copy during the editing process means significant picture degradation!
Do you provide a custom edited video as well as copies of all raw video shot during the day?
We provide a creative, customized video as well as copies of all the raw video.
Can you provide my edited wedding video on DVD and/or streaming web video?
We can provide your editing video on DVD or as a streaming video on the Internet. Check the Video Gallery link off our main web page for an example of this technology.
Do you accept all major credit cards, as well as cash check or money orders?
We accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover, checks, cash and money orders.
Do you offer flexible payment plans?
We will work with any prospective bride and groom to develop a payment plan that fits their budget and cash flow.
Do you consider each wedding video as a unique and independent creative effort?
We are not just in this for the money. We love shooting and editing video. We approach each wedding as a unique and special project. We do not start with some cookie-cutter approach. Your day is a special once-in-a-lifetime event and we want the video to reflect that.
Will you customize the wedding video to the specific wishes and desires of the bride and groom?
We welcome your ideas for what you DO and DON'T want in the final edited video. You can confer with our Event Coordinator or one of our skilled and experienced editors to make sure your video is exactly what you dreamt of.
Will the videographer who shoots my wedding be involved in the editing?
It is always our goal to have the videographer who shoots your event involved in the editing process. In fact, what better way to connect the mind of the shooter with the mind of the editor than if they were the same person. Many of our editors are also highly skilled videographers and we make every effort to make them one in the same.
Do you have a production studio where I can come to screen your work?
We are proud to be located in a very attractive and functional office studio located at 60 Saginaw Drive in Henrietta, NY. We have a well-appointed reception area where you can screen our work and discuss our capabilities.
Do you have the experience and equipment to handle outdoor weddings?
We have professional all-weather Portabrace covers for all of our cameras and do quite a few outdoor events.
Do you offer a complete customer satisfaction guarantee?
Our work is unconditionally guaranteed. We will do whatever we can to meet your expectations and to maintain our high level of creativity and quality. If that is not possible, a full refund will be given upon return of all videotapes.
How much business liability insurance do you carry?
We carry full business insurance with St. Paul Insurance Company that includes $2M of Liability Insurance.
