Our Videographer, Mike, has operated Ventures in Video himself since 1983 as a cameraman and has worked at Arlington Cemetery covering funerals since the late 1990’s. We cover the event with multiple Sony HD cameras strategically placed prior to the start of the service and we also can provide an even better service by having additional camera man to increase the chances of getting those amazing shots that will make your event even more memorable.
2nd camera operators help our main videographer and also have additional time to setup cover shots and other “quick” events like the firing party of the bugler, which can be very hard to cover when there is only one Videographer. Normally our professional photographer, Evan, is the 2nd camera operator and will setup great shots.
Our Photographer has 12 years of experience working as a full time photographer covering funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. He uses Canon Professional cameras and very high quality lenses, and will be prepared for whatever weather situation that can come our way.
