1. What is your overall approach to wedding videography?
Simply put, we understand that your wedding is your day. At AMP Video & Photo, we approach your wedding day as a sacred event in the lifetime of two families becoming one. We respect and honor the privilege of being a witness, and the official record keeper, through photography and video - of that special moment of your wedding day. Our wedding videographers are trained to be as unobtrusive as possible at your wedding in order to capture the special moments that will bring you and your family joy and happiness in reliving this special moment in time for years to come.
Our unique approach to your wedding day combines not only a team of some of the most creative and talented wedding photographers in Chicago, but also a team of graphic designers, motion graphic artists and sound engineers that provide you and your family with a multimedia experience that no other wedding photography or wedding videography company can match.
2. What style of wedding videography do you use?
At AMP Video & Photo, all of our wedding videographers are trained to use a mixture of photo-journalistic, modern and traditional styles. Our unique style is in the details, details, details. This means that you get the best of both worlds.
At times our videographers will blend into the background, capturing the action of the day as it unfolds. Your photography will reflect the events of the day - your expressions of joy and happiness, the whispers, the gentle smiles, the hugs and kisses. You will experience the story of your wedding told through photography.
At other times your videographer will take the lead, communicating and directing your and your family through a photo-session immediately after the ceremony. Yet at other times during a slow point in the day, you may look around and see your wedding photographer in the back of the room, by the cake or the staircase, or at the guest tables capturing all of the fine details of your day that you planned so hard to coordinate. You may rest ashured that even though the day will be a blur, your wedding photographer will bring everything back to life and in living color for you to re-live over and over again.
