Sno E + Kevin | Short Film

A fairytale wedding inspired by the timeless tale of Snow White!

Sno E and Kevin were chosen to have their wedding produced for WE TV’s My Fair Wedding with David Tutera. I must admit that filming a wedding around a television crew proved quite a challenge, but in the end it all came together so beautifully! Sno E and Kevin are an adorable couple, truly in love! The winter wonderland setting made it easy to forget that it was all taking place in a sound stage.

Julie + Ali | Highlight Film

The morning was a bit chilled with moments of hail showers, but it was beautiful nonetheless. As the ceremony began the sun started peaking through the clouds. And then as the reception started we were greeted by a double rainbow outside! What a memorable day! Congratulations Julie and Ali!

Caitlin + Ryan | Short Film

We absolutely adore the video. I’ve watched it countless times already, and it really captured the emotions and love of the entire weekend. We cannot thank you enough! It has reminded us how special our day was to us, and we also were able to pass it on to our family and friends who weren’t there to share our day with them. A lot of people ask me if it’s worth it to have a videographer, and I’ve always said yes, but you’ve totally sold me on it now, and I am over the moon that we went with Burkart Studios. Thank you again! I know this video will surface many times over the future years of our marriage and rekindle our joy from that day last year.

This is why we do what we do…

We LOVE it! It truly captures the emotion and many of the days special moments. We’ve watched it over a dozen times already. It just gets better and better each time. Thank you so, so much. I would recommend to anyone getting married to have you recreate their story with video.

Things to Consider

I recently met with a wonderful couple at my studio and while they were interviewing me I realized that they must be asking questions they found in an obsolete publication or website. After the meeting I went searching the Internet for information relevant to hiring a professional videographer and quickly found out that there wasn’t much, and what I found was mostly years old predating high definition video. What information I did find was mostly written by people other than videographers and instructed the couple to ask questions in which they would have no clue what the correct answer would be or even understand the answer (for example ‘does the videographer shoot with a 3-CCD camera?’).

I decided to come up with a list of relevant items to consider while interviewing professional videographers. Here goes: <Read More>
