Athenas Eyes Productions

Affordable videography for couples and their families to share and preserve important memories is my specialty. Few times in life are more special for families than weddings. Producing wedding stories has become my art and passion as well as my primary video business. Places, faces, music and voices will be woven into your wedding story. I strive to exceed expectations and still fit within most budgets. Past work producing human interest stories for local cable TV taught me to pay attention to recording the details that make moments special. Your wedding video can begin with some of your preparations - location & timing as needed for YOUR plans. Maybe record a short message to each other before the ceremony to capture some of the emotions of those moments? Record your private vows? Film a gift exchange or first looks? Maybe a blend of rushed preparation activity mixed with a start to celebrations? Your day....your choices....your memories. I record the full ceremony with multiple cameras, and all reception speeches & toasts, bridal dances, cake cutting, as well as the spontaneous fun happening all around. Coverage of only your ceremony with limited time before or afterwards is also available. Years of experience have taught me that recording more footage than seems needed is better than missing the chance to record important moments. Editing removes what is not necessary, but once a moment passes, the chance to record it is gone. Your wedding story can include the excitement and fun of your preparations and activities before the ceremony, or stage only a few moments of final preparations for the camera if your schedule is tight. I recommend filming guest congratulations & advice at the reception - if you so choose. This is a FUN activity for your guests and nice memento for you as well. You receive an artistically assembled short highlight clip set to voices & music special from your day AND a fully edited feature length documentary video. Samples of some recent highlight videos can be viewed here on The Knot. Your more complete full feature edit can be tight to reduce the video to essential content as a mini-documentary - or left longer for a detailed telling of your wedding story. As I do for all things regarding YOUR day, I am flexible and respect YOUR choices. A proof for your approval will usually be available within 2 to 3 weeks. The final full length HD video can be delivered digitally online or on USB flash drive. A short description of my typical services and pricing can be viewed on "Prices and packages" section on this page. A more detailed listing of AE pricing & services is available on my site or when you request additional information through TheKnot. Something more ? Something less? Just ask. I try to be flexible to your needs
