Joey Andruzzi bowls a backwards strike!

While shooting the video for Ruegy's Readers Bowling for Books we captured Joe Andruzzi bowling this once in a lifetime strike. This was a great fundraiser where several NFL players attend and support Ruegy's Readers.

Wedding Photography in Las Vegas



What's so special about getting married in Las Vegas?
Besides breathtaking views we have such a large selection of venues here in Las Vegas. Some bride and grooms that are not from Las Vegas think that the only place to get married is the strip. That couldn't be farther from the truth! There are so many places that can make your event very romantic instead of the hustle and bustle of the strip. Sometimes getting married on the strip makes it difficult for guests. Most of the time guests travel on the strip to find the hotel and I can tell you that it can take as much as 3 hours to get from one end to the other! Then they have to park and walk the distance and find the location in the midst of an array of people. Although this is all a preference, we just want to point out that there are other places that are off the strip and some with great views of the strip! As photographers and videographers we can help you with that decision. It is natural for us to know of all the other options because we shoot at so many of them!
Be sure to search out all your options and if you need any help or suggestions just contact Shaw Productions in Las Vegas!

What do you get with Wedding Videography?



What is included for Videography? When we are talking about Wedding
and other Special Events Packages it's not just about shooting the video.
It's the editing or what's known as Post Production. A video shoot of
about 4 - 5 hours will take somewhere between 30 hours to 60 hours
for editing. Editors charge around $50 an hour, which is why it's better to
have a "package" rather than priced individually. Editing includes bringing in
the hours of video into the computer, Viewing the footage minute by minute
and removing footage that won't be used. Reviewing again to remove reduntant
footage. If two cameras are used this procedure is much longer of course.
Then adding special effects, titles, credits etc. Adding music, and tweaking
all audio. Then finally rendering the footage which takes hours before
inserting into the DVD creator. This is now where the scene selections are
done then needs to be rendered again before burning the final DVD.
Why do we tell you that? Because sometimes it's hard for everyone to
understand the cost. So, when looking at the prices of the packages you
need to consider the total time involved to create your very entertaining DVD.
You don't want a DVD that is boring but rather like watching a blockbuster movie.
So... It's not "just" 4 - 5 hours of work! What is actually included is the shooting
of the video, post-production and the final creation of your DVD.

Now, having said this. When you see an inexperienced shooter say "I can do your wedding for only $300" you have been warned. There is no do-over! It's not about pointing a camera and shooting.

What is Trash the Wedding Dress?

What to do AFTER the wedding!




Trash the dress refers to Photography and Videography that contrasts your wedding dress in an environment in which it is completely out of place. Generally the shot is done in unusual places such as sitting on an old abandoned rusted out car or perhaps playing in a water fountain. It could be something of interest such as, let's say your husband works on heavy equipment, you could have your photo session focused on and around the heavy equipment. The photos we do for this is more like art. Some of the best shots are done in black and white or sepia tones. We also video tape the photography shoot and put it on a DVD. Naturally you will do this after your wedding. Some prefer to do it soon after the wedding, some do it on the one year anniversary. Best not to wait too long because the wedding dress may not fit.

This is also great for Prom Dresses too!

Live Broadcast Video!

Since it is not possible for all the wedding guests to make it to the wedding there are alternatives. Shaw Productions Inc, a local videography and photography company is launching a new option for their clients.
Live broadcast of their wedding allows for the guests who cannot attend to be able to watch the event take place.

Suppose a bride and groom have friends and relatives out of state that cannot make it or, perhaps due to costs, need to limit the number of guests. This is a great solution. Venues that charge $92 per person multiply that by 50 extra guests could easily rack up costs exceeding $4,500 so it is a better option to offer Live Broadcast Video.
