Welcome to HHC, INC!

We specialize in photography AND videography, and maintain a knowledge and helpful staff to guide you through the entire hiring and event process.
Here's a few things that you can expect:

Professionalism
Because we have been managing photographic and videographic operations for quite some time, we can provide direct, meaningful input on setting up your event. You can expect prompt, courteous service. We assure you that, while we can't control the nature or content of your event, we can promise a good, clean, professional photo/video production.

Photo AND/OR Video Work
We do both photographic and videographic work. All pictures and film materials are shot on digital medium with state-of-the-art equipment. We use brands such as Cannon, Agfa, Kodak, Sony, and Lenovo.



Fast!

Unless you would like us to edit your material after shooting, we will have your material written to CD, Thumbdrive, or DVD and given to you the day of the shoot! In fact, you will get it before you leave. No long delay or wandering away with your pictures!

Editing
We offer full editing services in our studio/offices in Fairfax, VA. In fact, we encourage our clients to be a part of the editing process. For video editing, generally, it takes about 75% of the shooting time to edit material. That amounts (roughly) to 1.5 hours of editing for every 2 hours of filming. Photo editing is different, as it is calculated on the number of photos to be edited rather than length of film (obviously), but when only "modest" editing is required, expect 10 minutes per photo. These are estimates only, but they should give you an idea of the time and cost associated with the editing process.
Editing includes:
Photos
* Enlarging and reducing prints.
* Removing red-eye, blurring, shadows, and other lighting effects or problems.
* Fixing contrast of brightness/hue issues (get rid of "pasty" look).
* Remove unwanted objects, colors, or...people!
* Add wanted object, backdrops, colors, or...people!
* Add comments, footer, headers, frames, antiquing, etc.
* Add special effects, format for web distribution, etc.

Videos
* All photo editing aspects plus...
* Addition of sound overlay.
* Frame by frame editing capability.
* Adding pictures or "new frames" not in original shoot.
*
* Adding title screen, credits, and any other "support" type screen not already present -- edit the same as needed.
* Fade in and out, and provide narrative overlay by frame, if needed.
* Insert, splice, dice, and generally re-arrange content as required.
* Merge multiple films together and condense into a clear, free flowing video.
Our lab has state of the art high-tech equipment for even more advanced functionality. Let us know if you have special requests.



Flat Fee

Our rate for filming OR video work is a flat $100 per hour, no matter what is required. Travel time is generally included unless the target destination is not in the immediate vicinity of the Vienna Metro station (i.e. more than 10 miles therefrom). COMBINED Video AND Photo work is charged at the rate of $150 per hour. As a general guide, most weddings need 6 hours of photo/video, and most corporate events do well with 3.

To help manage costs, we have packages that include photo and video, and editing of the video, starting at $1295. These packages generally include 6 hours of videography and 6 hours of photography services.



We can also print photos, both large and small -- this includes discreet and intimate photos/videos that you cannot develop at the local CVS!


Editing Fee.
The fee to edit photos or video is $125 per hour. See above for general time requirements regarding editing.

We are licensed, and insured. If you would like more information, or to book a session, please call 703-402-2723 or respond back to this post via email or to admin@hhc-inc.com.
