My name is Jim Simon, and I'd love to shoot your wedding. I've been a professional videographer for over a decade, and have been doing weddings for about six of those years. Take a look at my offerings below and then give me a call at (518) 372-2790 so we can discuss what's needed to get just the right package for your wedding.

Now offering a new 30/30 Payment plan!

Wedding Videos

A wedding video by Broadway Productions is an excellent way for couples on a budget to preserve the memories of their special day. Pricing starts at $150/hr and includes professional videography and editing, and three DVD copies of your video. I start the day about an hour before the ceremony* at the church and go right up to the end of your reception. I'll cover the guests arriving and mingling, the bride's entrance in the limo, the full ceremony, the formal session with the photograher, and all the special moments at the reception. Couples will receive a full length video (about 90 minutes) of their day. To keep the cost down and delivery times short (often less than a month), I keep the editing pretty simple. There's no fancy montages, special effects or highlights for the wedding video, just great shooting and editing at an affordable price.

Wedding Movies™

For couples who want something special, I am offering what I call the Wedding Movie™. Starting at $300/hr, the Wedding Movie™ offers superior picture and sound, as well as more stylish shooting and editing. For many couples, this option is sure to please. Like the wedding video, I cover the whole day*, starting at the church about an hour before the ceremony and going right up to the last dance at the reception. I'll shoot all the great moments without getting in the way. Then I take that footage back to the editing room and create a feature length movie - complete with credits, music, effects, etc. You'll get three copies of a widescreen, filmlike movie on DVD with plenty of extras like deleted scenes, alternate edits and more.

Additionl options:

• Photographs - Childhood, engagement, or other pictures can be added to your video. Prices range from $5 to $10/picture depending on options.
• Bridal Party Coverage - All packages normally start at the church. If you'd like to have video coverage of the bride & groom getting ready, the price is $300/location.
• Additional Cameras - All packages use a single camera. You can add additional cameras to the Wedding Movie™ package, allowing additional coverage and an even more movie-like final edit. The cost is $400/hr for each additional camera. You can add them to the ceremony, reception or both.
• Wireless Microphones - You can add wireless microphones to the Wedding Video for improved sound, important especially for the vows. The price is $50/hr. (The Wedding Movie™ includes microphones by default.)

Payment Policy:

Because times are tough, and because I feel that couples should not miss out on a professionally produced video for one of the biggest days of their lives, I am offering a special "30/30 Payments" promotion. Now you can reserve your date for just 30% down, with the balance due 30 days after delivery of the DVD. This helps couples who may not have lots of cash available right now. It gives them time to save for the rest of the balance. And since many couples receive cash as wedding gifts, final payment after the wedding helps ensure funds are available when the balance is due. Conditions do apply, so call Jim at (518) 372-2790 for more details.

*Special Note:

Because I charge an hourly rate, couples have the option of hiring me for less than a full day. For example, just for the ceremony, just for the reception, for the ceremony and only part of the reception, etc. This is one way couples can save some money in these tough economic times, yet still have a professional video of the most important moments.
