About Reel Amore
Location
We are based in Central Virginia focusing primarily on Charlottesville and Richmond. We are available for weddings in other locations as well.
Digital Quality
We use high-end 3-CCD digital cameras that provide incredible clarity, beautiful color, and professional footage of your wedding day. We use fluid-head tripods to ensure stable footage.
Our cameras capture beautiful images even in low-light. This is most important for the latter part of the wedding day, especially during toasts, dancing, and the cake cutting. We rarely resort to using lights on our cameras. This allows us to remain unobtrusive during the reception and to capture quality footage at the same time. Most high-end cameras produce grainy footage in low-light situations. Our cameras perform exceptionally well with very little available light.
We edit using Final Cut Pro. Our editing philosophy is to produce a wedding film that will remain timeless. We use music that you choose and employ state-of-the-art editing techniques that produce a classic look and feel.
