Aza Dayo's style is both documentary and journalistic. The documentary style videographer records things as they happen. The activities of the wedding day are captured candidly, and often include moments the bride and groom never see on their wedding day, being occupied elsewhere. A journalistic style videographer is more likely to stage couples, like a movie director arranging a scene. This is perfect for couples who want a "how we met" Love Story, and who do not mind having the natural flow of the wedding day interrupted from time to time by requests to pose or perform for the videographer.
If my prices are out of your range, I will do my best to find a videographer that offers services at rates you may be able to afford. Unfortunately, I can not do what I do at rates lower than quoted. Please, kindly do not ask me to work for less.
I will arrive a minimum of one hour before the event. The hour will allow me to set up and review itinerary. I like to show up as early as possible. This is to ensure I can get high quality exterior shots, decorations, preparatory work, etc.
Simply put: there's so much going on during the day that you just won't remember anything. The cake, the gown, the decorations, the flowers, your guests; all gone by morning, secured forever in digital video. Your soft, gentle vows to one another, caught just as they were spoken. The wide smiles on your faces, as you sweep down the aisle together toward your future. The romance, the love between you as you step onto the floor for your first dance. Pictures can’t recreate these precious memories -- but your wedding video can, and will!
A video from Aza Dayo will be no less than the story of your wedding, unfolding right before your eyes -- every detail intact. I want to create a wedding video that will become one of your most priceless treasures.
Yes. If possible 6-12 months in advance as the peak season fills up quickly. Please contact me to check availability. If your date is available, I will secure it with a contract and retainer. This is the only way to guarantee your date.

Absolutely not, my camera performs excellent in low light situations. However I must inform you that cameras are just like eyes, if it's too dark, the camera can't see any better than your eyes could; often a lot worse. With that having been said, I ask that you make sure there is enough lighting at your event. If there isn't, your production will suffer. This is the truth for any camera, no matter what company you use.
I require a meal be provided for all wedding packages (does not include engagement package). I take a break while the wedding party and guests are eating. I do not film event attendees eating.
Every bride has different ideas on what she wants. If there are things you would like to add to existing packages, I can definitely mold them around your needs.
Aza Dayo uses a lengthy editing process to produce your finished film. I spend delicate time with color correction, effects, music, and more. Depending on your package, DVD delivery is typically within 12-24 weeks.
Yes! I will gladly film weddings in other countries. It is a delight to experience other landscapes and cultures. I always approach my creative work with an open mind and I love the idea of shooting diffrerent types of weddings in unique locations. This applies to US couples who will wed in another country.
