10 Questions with LaVina Bostock

1. Introduction: What's your story?

Are you looking for a relaxed yet super stylish video that captures your wedding day? Have you been searching for a professional videographer that can capture the emotions of your day?

Welcome to Your Day Production!

I LOVE filming and editing weddings and I have been doing it full time since 2007. When friends ask me "Isn't it stressful?" I say NO! There's nothing like seeing the bride's dad cry when he sees his little girl all dressed up. Or, the look on the groom's face when his bride walks down the aisle.

Most days, you'll find me in front of my computer editing a wedding, drinking a Diet Mountain Dew (my weakness). When I am not working I love spoiling my 3 year old grandson, Jhett or fishing with my friends.

You must have lots of questions at this exciting time. Couples have found emailing to schedule a brief phone call have helped answer those questions and get a feel if we would be a good fit to working together.

Reach out to me and let's chat.

2. How long have you been filming weddings? How many weddings have you filmed?

Since 2007 I have been filming weddings full time. I have filmed over 800 weddings.

3. How would you describe your videography style?

Journalistic emotional! I love to go where the action is and I am always looking for someone who might be crying. If I can make someone who is not associated with the couple cry while watching that couples wedding video, then I have done my job.

4. How well in advance should couples book their wedding videographer?

As soon as possible. Usually 12-18 months are best.

5. What are the different packages that you offer and which one is your most popular package?

Our Platinum Package is our most popular package.

* Capturing all the fun at your reception, i.e. First dances, cake cutting, bouquet and garter.

* Video can be delivered on HD or regular DVDs.

6. Are you the wedding videographer who will be filming on the wedding day? How many camera people and cameras will be operating on the day?

I am the main camera person. Elopements and micro weddings I tend to do by myself. Big church weddings I usually bring a second shutter with me. We use at least three cameras at every wedding.

7. Do you charge a travel fee? For what distance? What does that cover?

We charge a Travel Fee for any place 4 hours from the New Orleans Metropolitan area. The Travel Fee covers gas. On occasions, we have had to spend the night for a wedding and the couple pays for the room.

8. How do you back-up your footage to ensure no footage is lost and for how long do you keep the footage after the wedding?

Our wedding videos raw footage is backed up in several locations and then once the video is edited, the edited footage is also backup up to several hard drives. We keep the footage for at least 10 years. I recently had a couple whose house burned down and I was able to get them their wedding video. They got married in 2009.

9. How long after the wedding will the couple receive the video? And how will the video be delivered?

We are about 1 to 2 months for delivery. We deliver the video on BluRay HD DVDs, Flash Drives and Online.

10. What is your cancellation and/or refund policy?

The deposit/retainer fee is non-refundable. No money is refund is wedding is canceled a week or the day of the wedding.
