Simple videography is for most elopers who want a professional video capture of their wedding ceremony, showing the merger of their love and “I do” moment with stunning Kauai framing them. The video is not for those looking for a jazzed-up, heavily stylized film. I have options for those. But it is well worth choosing for exceptional video and audio quality. The length of the video will be the length of the song/ music chosen. Full length and linear abridged available as an option.
Multiple hours deluxe videography
Deluxe maintains simple effectiveness in event video story-telling. Choose this option when you have more than 10 guests and or need videographer services for 90-mins or longer. Motion camerawork representative of a cinematic video can be weaved into the story-telling if the day’s schedule of events permits, such as getting ready moments, life or lovestory telling if desired, or thematic jewels that represent who you are or what you love doing, such as “your dog in a shopping cart” or you as a roller-skating bride. Post ceremony sequences can also be filmed in a cinematic style. Deluxe videos typically run about 5 mins. If you desire an abridged linear version, they usually run 9-12 mins.
This is a love story video that I directed, shot, and edited for the bride and groom's wedding and reception on the mainland. They were huge Country and Western lovers and they picked out the song. The video showcases the life they'd shared together for a decade. We shot this over 2 long days, including half a day at a church hall that we (my clients and I) turned into a green screen studio. As there was just me as the crew, the bride and groom helped me set up lights, lug around green screen panels and other grip gear. Without their help there's no way this could have been made.
This Kauai wedding video is one with a karaoke twist. Not your everyday wedding video, but different is special. There's a second version of this which is more classical.

Choose "cinematic" for a very stylized, thematic, blue-printed video, bearing in mind this is a story of 2 people—the wedding couple. For the ceremony segment, there can be more in your party (if you have) but for me to create a beautiful video, I’ll want to shoot pickups after the ceremony, which means your guests and officiant will need to stay in place at the ceremony’s conclusion, and we’d reenact some parts of the ceremony, allowing me to shoot motion shots, sweep-arounds, slow motion kiss, etc. Multiple takes might be required. It usually doesn’t take too long, usually done in 15 minutes. If you have 20 or more guests holding them in place might be too difficult. They’d have to know going into this that they’d be playing movie extras. Of note: I must be the only media professional shooting at this time, no photographers, no one shooting with a mobile device. Likewise, for all of the blue-printed scenes any separate photographer will have to request permission from me to shoot.

Boys and Girls Club of Kauai - a video by David Marsh
I usually work on my own, deploying 1 or 2 cameras, recording the audio myself. Occasionally, on some venues, more gear and maybe a bigger crew will produce a more dynamically crafted video. For example: a wedding with 80 or more guests where it's not reasonable for me to move around to shoot multiple angle coverage. Static cameras well positioned on tripods are a solution. An additional camera person is an even better solution.
Commercials, documentaries and more
Whatever you have in mind, once we discuss it I'll come up with a competitive fee.
A wedding videographer in Kauai who shoots more than weddings. I do portfolio videos. Retreat videos, Quinceañeras, Bat Mitzvahs, Bar Mitzvahs. I really like the new trend in wedding videography: short, snappy, tailored to music, no voices except perhaps “you can kiss the bride.” Please peruse.
