Chicago Wedding Connections uses state of the art Professional Digital 3 Chip Camcorders but we know that it takes more than good equipment to make the video coverage of your wedding a success. It takes the right people! People knowledgeable in proper video technique...people who know weddings...people who understand the needs of the bride and groom. The Wedding Connections Video Team are professionals who are as knowledgeable about weddings as they are about video production.

No Big Production. We strive to cover the events of the day without becoming part of the event. One of our favorite compliments is that "We hardly knew you were there."

Reserve your Chicago Videographer well in advance. We have a limited number of fully trained qualified personnel. When all videographers are assigned on a particular date, that date is closed. Backup personnel and equipment are always available.

Wedding Ceremony Coverage begins with our arrival one hour prior to the start of the ceremony. We allow this time so that your videographer can check with the clergy for instructions and begin coverage with the arrival of your guests. Once the processional begins, the ceremony will be recorded in its entirety. After the ceremony, we will continue to record select scenes of post ceremony activities.

Wedding Reception Coverage begins at the starting time of your reception with receiving line and various guest shots. Coverage continues with introduction to dinner, the best man's toast, and personal messages from your bridal party. After dinner we will continue to record all the special events such as the cake cutting, first dance, father-daughter dance and the bouquet-garter toss. The videographer will remain in the area of the dance floor to videotape selected dancing and any well wishes from friends and family.

We are capable of capturing other special events. Our experience includes Birthdays, Anniversaries, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and Christenings.Call for additional information.

Digital Editing of your coverage includes an introduction using a collage of your favorite photographs and your wedding invitation. This material and the pre ceremony coverage will be set to music which you may provide or we will select. The ceremony is edited, depending on the package, utilizing two or three different camera angles. Single camera reception coverage is enhanced with the addition of background music in the pre dinner segment. All of the reception coverage is then reassembled to eliminate lapses in the action. The finishing touch is a Highlight Recap set to the music of your bridal dance and ending with a rolling "credit" list of your wedding party.
