Wedding FAQs:
Will you have a low key presence?
Absolutely. We go about our job quietly and professionally without distracting you or your guests. Most couples remark that they didn't notice we were there and are surprised by the extensive coverage. Our videos are in a style of documenting, not directing. Brides have told us how much they appreciated this.
How do you get along with the photographers you work with?
Very well. Most of the high end photographers refer us and are pleased and impressed with our ability to stay out of the way and keep a low profile, especially since we don't use a lot of lights.
Do you use bright lights?
No. We use an unobtrusive, on-camera lighting to highlight the clarity, brilliance, and true color of real TV.
What type of equipment do you use?
ALL Digital. Our cameras are the highest quality in the industry. This, combined with our Professional, Non-Linear Editing system, insures the most artistic and highest quality video possible.
What about the quality of the audio?
Crystal Clear! Echoes are eliminated because we use wireless remote microphones. Your voices are clear. Your vows will sound just as you spoke them.
Do you carry back-up equipment?
Yes. We bring two of all of the necessary components to insure a quality video.
Will you be professional in your appearance?
Absolutely. Our professionals take great pride in presenting themselves with the utmost class and always have a positive presence in their demeanor.
What do you think is a good running time for wedding videos?
In general, we suggest the edited version run about 50-75 minutes. At this length, it is easier to watch repeatedly, it is easier to show to family and friends, and it is easier to create the feel of a film or a TV program.
Will you customize our video?
Yes. The artistic quality and creativity of our staff is what really shines through in all of our wedding videos.
Can we select music for you to use in the editing process?
Yes. Songs that are special to you can be edited into the final tape at no additional charge. In our pre wedding planning stage we will cover music and style of editing.
Do you use a lot of special effects in your videos?
We really don't like special effects. We do, however, use a soft dissolves, a slow shutter speed shots and slow motion.
Do you require a retaining fee for your services?
Yes, a retainer of 1/2 of the contracted total is standard. The final 1/2 is due 10 days prior to the wedding day.
How soon can we expect to receive our edited DVD(s)?
It is not uncommon to spend over 50 hours editing a single wedding. Therefore, depending upon the season, return time can be anywhere from four to eight weeks. Your finished DVD will preserve your most treasured memories and due to the complexity and artistic expression, it will be well worth the wait.

Byrd's Eye Video Productions is a family run business that started by helping a few friends video their weddings and really enjoying it.
With over ten years of video experience, the wedding business seemed like a logical choice since we were doing it anyway.
There was also a need in the Panama City area for a local videographer who was both affordable and professional.
It is our commitment to make your wedding experience unforgettable or, in most cases, since many of us cannot remember what happened at our own ceremony, give you an opportunity to relive "Your Special Day, Our Special Way" over and over again.
