It offers guests a bit of one-on-one time with the camera. Includes an array of props. A $250 refundable deposit is also required upon booking the Video Booth.

Raw Footage? Sometimes the Bride and Groom would like to see even more of their wedding day, so all of the raw, uncut footage can be given to you on an external hard drive, for hours and hours of reminiscing. You may use an existing hard drive, or our editor may purchase one at $80 and will add it to your final cost.
