Planning, Photography and Videography Information & Facts
Q.
Do I have to pick only a package or can I mix with Ala Carte?
A. No, you don't have to. You can add Ala Carte items to
any package. This is where our team of professional Wedding
Planners will help you and your fianceé make all of your Wedding
Day Dreams a reality.
Q.
How do I pick a Wedding Planner?
A. There are several ways I would suggest.
1. Call Wedding Coordinators/Planners until you reach one you are
comfortable planning with. (Do they answer the phone, email
promptly).
2. Check them out on the local Chamber of Commerce website.
3. Give the planner somewhat of a trivial problem to deal with and
see how they react; in other words test them a little to see how
they are under pressure.
4. Ask the Coordinator/Planner how long they have been planning
weddings and if they have previous Brides and Grooms you may
contact as references?
5. Beware of choosing a Coordinator/Planner based solely on them
being a member of trade organizations. These are purely business
promotion organizations and although some of them may try to have
a criteria to be a member it all comes down to who a company may
be friends with. These organizations do accept start up companies.
If you feel comfortable at this point, you will be fine.
Q.
There are so many locations; Beaches, Churches, Private Estates
etc. How do I Choose?
A. Size, Privacy, Type of setting, these all play a part in
your decision. This is where having a good planner to help you,
and feeling comfortable with them, will make your decisions easy
and stress free.
Q.
Do I need a blood test?
A. At the present time No you do not. However there
is a 24 hour waiting period after your license app. is received.
Ask your wedding planner for details.
Q.
I've been divorced, how long do I have to wait to re-marry?
A. If you have been divorced you must bring your divorce
decree.
Q.
Should I plan my wedding for morning or sunset?
A. The choice is completely up to you. There are major
differences in the two such as Lighting, Temperature, Privacy,
etc. and should be discussed with your Wedding Coordinator.
Q.
Photo and Video is just Photo and Video, Right?
A. NO!! The type of photo and video equipment and
experience of the professionals you choose is very important.
Although it will be very beautiful at your wedding, conditions
change quickly and a seasoned professional is a must.
Q.
How do I choose a Photographer/Videographer?
A. Review their work and ask questions such as:
1. Is your equipment professional and what is the make and model
used?
2. Check B&H Photo and confirm the equipment is of
professional grade.
(as this is where many professionals purchase their equipment)
3. How long have you been a professional photographer/videographer?
4. Are Wireless Mics used for the video?
5. Ask for references.

Photography is an
important part of your Special Day - that is why it is always good
to let the professionals
capture your memories that will last forever!
We send
our very best to you! Darlene & Dave wish to share your
Special Day with you and look forward to working for, and with
you to ensure your day is the best it can be! With over 20 years
of experience, both Darlene & Dave
pride themselves in excellent customer service!
When
choosing your photography package, there are a couple of points
to consider. First, determine whether you would like to
work with a professional who gives the CD in their packages or
one who does not. Remember, there are professionals who feel it
is important for you to take your photo's & CDs with you, to
ease the process of reprints & enlargements for you.
Although we at Frames In Time do include the CD in some of our
packages, we would be happy to accommodate you with your
reprinting/enlargement orders as well. Remember; just because
you receive your CD in your package, does not mean you are not
dealing with a highly qualified and reputable company. We have
been in this business for over 20 years, we love what we
do, and it shows in our work!
Secondly,
ask yourself 'what do I want from my photo's?'. Do you plan to
make enlargements? If so, what size?
The 35mm Digital Cameras of today will allow for up to a 16x20
enlargement before losing any clarity. Any larger and the photo
may develop a 'grainy' effect.
We
will assist you in every way to make your day a "Day
to Remember"!
If portraits are desired, we would be happy to accommodate you
with this as well.

Photography
Videography
is very important when planning your Destination Wedding. There
are a few things that should be considered when choosing a video
company, such as Digital video equipment, wireless sound, and
music.
DVD
There
are several types of DVDs and DVD players out there and they are
not all alike. Some of the different types are DVD+R,
DVD-R, and Glass Mastered. Although there are many differences,
the biggest of which is Glass Mastered (the ONLY TYPE that WILL
play in any DVD player). DVD-R is the most widely used however
they will only play in a Compatible DVD player. For a list of
compatible players contact your videographer or consult the
information included with your DVD player.
Music
When choosing your music consider the tempo of your video and
share this with your videographer as this will make your video
much better. The tempo and mood of the video are set by the
music. Although you are in the spotlight, it is the music
that will set the mood.
Choosing
Your Videographer
You
should discuss all aspects of your video with your videographer;
remember there are no dumb questions. It is
better to ask than be surprised later. You
should be able to contact your videographer easily. We
offer a Toll-Free number (877-686-3686) in which to be contacted
and welcome any questions. Always try to view a videographers
work prior to hiring be it via the internet or a demo. Take into
consideration that editing has been done. This
will be a good way to view a videographers style.
Video
Equipment
Digital is the only way. As in all things there are many
different levels of camera. One simple way to judge the quality
is the size of the chips in the camera. There are
1/3,1/2,and 2/3 inch available, all of which will do a fine job.
Remember, there are no dumb questions!
Video
Locations
Lighting is the
main concern for your video when choosing a location. Because
video cameras do not have a flash, lighting is very important.
You should avoid shooting directly at the sun.
Wireless
Sound
The sound should always be wireless as this is the only way.
CAMERA MOUNTED MICROPHONES CANNOT BE HEARD.
These
are just some of the things that can make your video great.
