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.
I use one main professional 3CCD camera with enough skill to make your video appear to have been filmed with more than one camera. I also shoot with a Sennheiser Evolution G2 Wireless Lavalier System and Azaden shotgun mic with a backup digital voice recorder.
In order to bring my services within your price range, I’ve created several packages to serve your individual needs. I'm not the cheapest videographer in the area nor am I the most expensive. If you value excellence and creativity, my services are just what you need.
If my packages are out of your price range, I will try to find a videographer that offers their services at rates you may be able to afford. Unfortunately, I can not do what I do at rates lower than what is posted on the site. 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.
How long your DVD will be depends on your package. Package runtimes range from a half hour to ninety minutes. If you would like your wedding on VHS, please ask.
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.

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.
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.
Children are a delightful addition to any family and they grow up so fast, you will find yourself wondering where the time went. Memories of their birth and the anticipation of having a new bundle of joy may fade with time. The benefits of having a visual record of your child's birth are nearly endless. When the dust settles you and your family will be able to relax and watch the event unfold. You may notice things you never noticed when it was actually happening. Later, your child may ask you about their birth. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to show them? When they start a family of their own, they will have something to show their little ones.
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.
I sure do. These are "definite yes" countries I will travel to for weddings:
Ireland Scotland UK Ghana Thailand Singapore China New Zealand Japan Seychelles Islands Canada Spain Italy Malta Brunei Any of the Polynesian Islands Anywhere in the Caribbean
*And of course, anywhere within the US
If the country in which your wedding is being held is not on the list, do not worry. Let me know what country and where in that country you plan to hold your wedding and I'll let you know.
