Frequently Asked Questions
How many videographers will be with you at our event?
Usually just me! I want your film to be about your day, not about making a wedding video. Because of this I film on my own with as small a foot print as possible. I use a handheld camera stabilizer for smooth cinematic footage as well as a small "monopod" and tripod when necessary for the ceremony and speeches. I like to stay out of the way so you barely notice I'm there. I think this provides the most authentic footage from weddings.
However if you want a second shooter to make sure everything is captured, I'd be happy to bring along another videographer. Please inquire for pricing.
Do you offer photography?
While I don't offer photography, I know a ton of amazing photographers! I'd be happy to refer you to my favorites!
How do you choose the music in our film? Can we give input?
I believe that music can make or break a video so I spend hours going through songs to find the perfect fit for each film. I also have to pay to license all the music that is used in my films (it's illegal not to). That cost is included with your package. You can definitely give input! The only caveat is you have to pick music through a music licensing website such as musicbed.com. Most mainstream artist's songs cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to license. However there is a ton of great music you can find on these sites from up and coming artists. If you would like to give input on what music is used in your film, just let me know and I'll send you a list of websites to check out.
Do you use a drone?
We can add drone coverage to your package however it is dependent on if drone operation is permitted in your venue's air space as well as weather. Please inquire for more information.
How long will it take to receive our video?
I try to get your film to you within 6 months of your wedding. Most films take 50+ hours to produce (this includes sorting through footage, editing and compiling footage, finding music, and editing audio). I ask for your patience as I devote the time required to deliver a beautiful film that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
Do you provide raw footage?
I don't usually offer raw footage just because most people don't have a need for it. I do offer a FOMO edit which is all usable footage from your day put into one long video. If you have a specific need for raw footage, please inquire for specific situations.
