What is a Cinematic Main Feature?
When it comes to choosing the right wedding videography package, it's important to consider both the quality of the footage and the final edits included in comparison to your budget. One of the main differences that separates our Premium Wedding Video Package from the Traditional Packages is that it has a longer artistic edit: the Cinematic Main Feature. The Cinematic Main Feature is 8-20 minutes long as opposed to the 3-5 minute Highlight Film that comes with the Traditional packages. It is also a little more artistic in nature because the Premium package comes with two videographers (so there is more footage to work with) and because of the
Wedding Videography: Professional, Home Movie, or None?
Why Videography? Why not just Photography? In this modern age of wedding planning, videography can start lower on the priority list of important vendors, although its popularity is on the rise. Photography and DJ -- important, of course -- are sometimes thought of as the most important pieces to check off the planning the list and videography is left to "see how much is left in the budget" or sometimes not thought of at all. Here at Fairytale Productions, however -- and in most wedding industry insider-circles -- videography is seen as a top priority, perhaps right after the date and venue. Don’t get me wrong, we LOVE photography.

3 Benefits of Booking Your Photographer & Videographer Together
It is common practice for modern day couples to book their photographer first of all major services. Many times, the videography is much farther down the list of priorities. We understand photography is one of the things brides and grooms look forward to most, and are most excited to lock in for the day. However, we recommend booking with a company who can provide both Photo and Video services for your wedding day because of the benefits of the vendors working together. Here are 3 of those benefits: 1) Cooperation Your photographer and videographer working together means that they will be conscious of one another's shots, and not step in the
Candid Wedding Photography — A Healthy Perspective
Something we hear a lot in this business from couples planning their wedding photography & videography is: "We really want it to be candid. We don't want it to be pose-y." We totally understand where they are coming from! But, if you haven't spent much time in front of a professional camera, it can be hard to understand just where those candid-looking shots actually come from. Truly candid photography means the photographer hangs back and captures the live events without interfering with or directing the photograph. It is expected at parts of the wedding day like the ceremony, first dances, bouquet toss, and others like that. However, when it comes to
