About

I treat each occasion as a unique expeience. Rather than having a "template" into which the different events are inserted, I build a story which looks at all of the participants as distinct individuals, each with his or her own point of view. For example, how does the father of the bride interact with the groom as they get ready? If there's a child involved, how does she react to the preparations and events? I enjoy working in a festive atmosphere where people are having a good time - and I have the opportunity to capture that atmosphere to create a memory that can be relived and shared over and over again.

Chuck was absolutely wonderful! He was so professional and EVERYONE loved him. I have close friends already asking for his information. Chuck came to the rehearsal and worked with my photographers. He is so pleasant and really made it so I would not have to worry at all about the video from my wedding and reception. Amazing man!!

Wow, where to begin? I'm so happy I found Chuck thanks to Thumbtack. He was always so quick to respond to my emails and any concerns I had. Chuck is very detail oriented and i love how thorough he is. He made a trip to visit my venue before my wedding date so he knew where to set up in order to capture all the important parts of my wedding. I can't thank you enough Chuck!

Chuck was nothing short of amazing. I didn't even know he was there! We can't wait to see what the final footage looks like. He was so professional, worked with us with all of four requests, and made hiring a videographer so easy. Thank you Chuck you were wonderful!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The best way to determine what your event coverage will cost is to contact us for a quote. The prices shown below are only representative of a typical wedding. All quoted prices are subject to Virginia's sales tax. Video services can be ordered individually or, for better value, grouped into packages. These packages range from economy to premium. All jobs outside a 30 mile radius of Richmond will incur travel charges. Examples of wedding videography coverage: Basic Wedding Coverage (Ceremony only), 1 camera - $850 - 1 High Definition camera - Microphone on Groom, Supplemental audio from camera mike - Record ceremony (up to 2 hours total) - Coordinate with officiant - 1 Copy of DVD "Silver Package" (most popular) - $1600 - 2 High Definition cameras (1 videographer, 1 fixed camera) - Microphone on Groom, Supplemental audio from house sound (if available) or camera mike - Record ceremony & reception (up to 6 hours total) - Coordinate with officiant, ceremony & reception venues - Attend rehearsal - Highlight video posted online about one week after wedding - 3 copies of DVD
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to meet with the customer, either in person or on the phone, to discuss the details of their event. For weddings, concerts, etc. I attend the rehearsal to ensure that I know what will take place when, where to place my cameras, any special equipment required, etc. After the event I stay in touch with the customer as the final product is created.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Charles Batteau Video Services was begun in reaction to the poor quality of the video recordings of our children's high school graduations and, before that, their school plays, chorus recitals, etc. I knew that it should be possible to have a quality video recording at a reasonable cost that everybody would enjoy. It was a few years between the graduation and the first wedding video; however, after that, "the cow had escaped from the barn" and has been out in the field ever since. I have been a serious photographer for many years and also work with producing the TV broadcast of worship services and other events at First Baptist Church, Richmond.
