VIDEOGRAPHY

VIDEOGRAPHY

A wedding video takes us about 40-60 hours to edit and we put our hearts and soul into the whole process. From the choice of music to the colour correction of each image we pride ourselves in delivering a professional quality product that is true to who we are as artists… and you will love it! We always use 3 cameras and 2 videographer’s when filming a wedding. This multiple camera angle view adds a whole new dimension of professionalism and will greatly enhance the coverage and quality of your video. It ensures we always get all the action and will add a very cinematic feel to your final product. At Ever After we use high-end Canon cameras, lenses and broadcast quality high definition digital video and sound equipment. Editing is done using Apple’s Final Cut Pro software.

PHOTOGRAPHY

PHOTOGRAPHY

At Ever After, we aim to be as unobtrusive as possible while maintaining a high standard of professionalism and creativity. We like to be part of your planning process to ensure we understand how your day will unfold in order to be able to capture your wedding in the best possible way. Our film and photographic style is romantic, artistic, emotive yet fun and fresh, depending on the scene. We love to make people feel relaxed in front of the camera. When you have fun we are able to find the moments in between, you know, when you have forgotten the camera is there. As part of our photography service we supply all the high-resolution images of your wedding. There are no hidden fees. Based in Wanaka, our service mainly covers the Queenstown Lakes District area as well as the wider Otago region. We are also happy to travel to other locations, please contact us about your requirements.
