To Video or not to Video
On a recent survey of just over five hundred brides, more than four hundred stated that one of the biggest regrets was that they either didn't get professional video or that they should have bought a better package. Here's why:
Still photos and video do not do the same thing.
Although both are visual, video adds sound, action, and uniquely captures the reality of how it all happened. Video is emotionally intense. Imagine hearing the first stirring bars of your wedding march, a quiver in the bride's voice as she starts her vows, or your grandmothers laugh. Imagine seeing your fathers tears or sharing your wedding with your children as they prepare for theirs. After all, when the guests have gone, the ice sculpture has melted and the flowers have wilted, you'll still have your video. For generations to come, a well produced video is an heirloom that helps preserve the emotion of your memories like nothing else can.
If your wedding day is worth remembering you need professional video.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a thousand pictures. Of course the text on this page can't adequately describe the absolute delight a video brings. So please accept this invitation to visit our studio, meet us, and see samples of our video artistry. Experience, style, attitude and enthusiasm are all important factors, but are hard to compare over the phone.
How is Black Tie different?
Training. Talent. Equipment. You name it, we've got it. Training in the latest creative shooting techniques, low light capabilities, clean audio, and state-of-the-art Digital Editing makes the difference.. The best thing to do is this, look at theirs then look at ours. It will be....well...Clear. You can see and feel the difference. We also believe that TALENT has everything to do with success. Our shooters are professionally trained, artistically accomplished and completely talented. Nothing less will do.
What we won’t do.
We've been in the wedding biz long enough to have heard all about the "videographer" that ruined the atmosphere by using huge lights, always sticking a mic in people's faces, or in general, making a nuisance of himself. We don't. That's not our style. What about 3D animation? Sizzling graphics? Wild transitions? Fancy special effects? Of course, we could do them, and occasionally do for our commercial clients. After all, we have one of the finest digital studios of any wedding video company, but we believe that special effects and fancy graphics can easily be overused with wedding videos. What's more, we don't want to do anything that detracts from the real emotion, pure excitement, and true story of your wedding day. We also believe that today's graphics will probably look outdated and silly twenty years from now. So, our approach to special effects and graphics is understated, and subtle. It's one more thing you'll appreciate.
What we will do.
Since we began making wedding videos, we have learned what stands the test of time, and what doesn't; what our clients value, and what they don't. This is it: Excellent equipment, good camera work, quality sound, reliability, and a non-intrusive style. Low key. Personal. Professional. We want to record the memories, not create them.
That's what we offer. That's what
we';ll give you. The rest is glitz.

Highlight section
The HL section is exactly that---Short video clips, vignettes and key moments of the day are presented, accompanied by transitions, and wonderful background music. The video runs for about 3-5 min and is placed at the end of your full length video. This is perfect for those situations when showing the full-length video would take too long. Feedback from our brides is that they love their HL section, and that it's viewed by their families and friends more often than their full length version.
Baby Picture Montage
This is one of our more popular options. 24 Photos of the bride and groom as they grow from childhood to adulthood, set to a musical background. Photos are electronically cropped and bordered to best display their content. It can be placed at the beginning or end of the full length video.
Cherished Moments Love Story
This is the cream of the crop when it comes to emotion. It's like the one you've seen on TV only better. As you know it's a contemporary video of the couple both together and individually including interviews, background stories, how they met, etc., all filmed in romantic locations. But we've improved it by adding a growing up section, and a family and friends section. We then use a 8,000 dollar video projector to show it at your event. It is absolutely the most emotionally powerful thing we have ever done. This costs a bit more, but will be something you and your guests will never forget!
Honeymoon Montage
You bring us video footage or 24 photos of your honeymoon, we beautifly edit it with music and transitions, then add it to the end of your final tape (approx. 5 min.)
Bride's house
We come to your house even earlier to capture you getting ready in the comfort of your home. "Groom's house"; is the same.
Rehearsal Dinner
We show up and capture the sentiments and personal moments of close family and friends. This is also added to the final tape.
Silly and Sentimental Memories
This is where we set an operator and camera at a quieter location of the reception to let anybody that wants to, say something to the bride and groom (done on video for later viewing). It can be funny, or sentimental, but it's always spontaneous.
Here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
