Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1.) It sounds great and simple to have one media provider, but is it really possible for one person to do both videography and photography well at my wedding?

That would certainly be impossible! That is why at Wedding Memories of Omaha, you will have two highly talented individuals at your wedding when you invest in a full media package. Mark Hennings will run the video cameras, edit the footage, and produce the DVD's, while Adam Streur will take stunning still pictures and finalize them digitally.

2.) You have all this great video equipment, but won't it be obtrusive at my special day? Are you going to distract from the intrinsic beauty of the moment?

Most brides and grooms are so wrapped up in the moment of their wedding day that they don't even report noticing the videographer. As a general rule for years down the line: you won't remember your videographer or photographer, only the media they capture. Besides that, we'll give you a sheet that lists different options for where we can place our video cameras at different points during your wedding ceremony. This lets you make the decision about how much presence the videographers should have at your wedding!

3.) Why shouldn't I have my friend with a handycam tape my wedding?

Your friend with a handycam has a good heart, but the end result won't be something you'll love to watch. Would you want a friend who has a cell phone camera to be your official photographer? That's how the difference in quality will feel. With a hand-crafted cinematic masterpiece from Wedding Memories of Omaha, you'll love to watch it over and over again, and even show your friends!

4.) Okay you almost have me convinced, but one last thing: if you're so good, why are you priced so reasonably?

There are three reasons we have such reasonable prices. First, we're careful about how we spend our money, so we don't have to charge you as much. Second, we believe that quality doesn't have to correspond to price. There's a secret in the wedding business: some wedding business raise their prices just so people will mistakenly think they're the best. Not very ethical. Third, we believe in what we do and want to make our services affordable to more people. We want to provide personal, professional, and modern wedding media for every lovely couple we can.

5.) So then how much is the deposit amount?

The deposit is $200 for any package. It secures the wedding date for you so you don't have to worry about someone else making us an offer we can't resist. Once you put down a deposit, you're booked.

6.) Now be honest with me here, is high definition really all that?

High definition is pretty cool. It won't change your life, and your kids will probably still look at it and say "Wow, high definition, that's so early 21st century." But it's actually four times the resolution of standard definition, and it will look better on a high definition television which are designed to sharpen edges and create high contrast pictures. Since wedding videos are for years down the line, I'd recommend having yours in HD so you can feel just a little bit less old in ten years.
