1. How long in advance should we book your services?
     We have filmed weddings with notice as short as four days, but we recommend booking at least 6 months in advance.  This much notice will not only secure your date, it also gives us time to meet with you to work out the details of capturing your special day.

2. How do we reserve our date?
     To reserve your date, you can call 1-800-966-4157, e-mail mghvideo@aol.com, visit us at any one of the bridal shows we will be attending, or see our contact us page and fill out the contact form. We require a non-refundable deposit to reserve your date.

3. Will you meet with us before the wedding?
     If you would like, we will meet with you at a mutually agreed upon time and place well before the wedding to discuss any special needs, desires or concerns you may have.  It is also a good time to give us your photos/videos for inclusion in the final film.

4. Do you attend the rehearsal?
     Not only do we attend the rehearsal, we also film it.  This usually provides footage of a more relaxed bridal party for inclusion in your film. It will also allow us to plan your shots and our set ups, both effectively and unobtrusively.

5. Will we be involved with the production of the film?
     You will be directly involved with the production of the film.  This is your wedding and your film should be what you envisioned it to be. To this end, we will upload rough cut segments online for you to review and voice any edit revisions you would like us to make.  This usually happens approximately 4-5 months after your event.

Every wedding is different, but on average, the final film is anywhere from an hour to 2 hours long. We do not set a specific time limit on any film.

12. How long before we receive our final product?
     Many factors go into producing the final cut.  You should allow 4 to 5 months before we upload your rough segments for your review and another  month or so for final changes to be made before the delivery of your final product.
