Question 1

How do you choose music for your videos?

Accepted Answer

For music, it's more of a collaboration between the bride and our editing teams selections. We generally would ask within our on-boarding questionnaire to list your favorite styles/genres of music and list a few of your favorite artists so we can better personalize your wedding video. We would however prefer to use license-able music for the 60sec trailer and also...

Question 2

How do you typically interact with photographers and guests?

Accepted Answer

I used to be a wedding photographer for about 10+yrs before I transitioned into wedding films a couple years back so I know what your photographer would generally be looking for. I always make it a fun and collaborative experience. We're all there to get some awesome shots so you can look back at and experience your wedding day as often as you would like.

Question 3

How many cameras do you use? Do you normally have more than one angle for the ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I cater to each wedding ceremony or reception depending on the package and the space. So for the "dream package" which comes with a single filmmaker. At the most we would use 3 cameras for the ceremony and 2 cameras for the reception. Sometimes it's more or less depending on the space allotted and time given to set up.

Question 4

Do you use any sort of mic during the ceremony like a clip on mic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we generally mic the officiant, groom and podium if at a church or DJ if at the venue. At the reception, I connect my audio to the DJ audio system to get my main audio feed and I also have another mic connected to the exterior of the speaker to get the DJ's wireless mic plus the room audio.

Question 5

Are there any limits to how we can use our videos once we receive them?

Accepted Answer

Not really. Once the edits are completed and the invoice is paid in full you can share them and use them as you please. It's your wedding extravaganza! :)

Question 6

Are there any additional costs or fees that aren’t listed in your quote?

Accepted Answer

Not typically. Besides taxes there's a $50 travel fee if the wedding will be hosted out of the state. If more than 3hrs one way we will also request a hotel room to stay the night if at all possible. Most brides already cover this before we ask about it as they know how far we will be traveling.

Question 7

Do you have any hour restrictions or do you stay for everything no matter how long it goes?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no. Basically with our full day wedding packages we start when you want us to start, and end when you want us to end. Usually we start at the getting ready location. Some brides would prefer we start at the ceremony location and that's totally fine with us too. The ending time is basically after the reception grand exit if there is one.

Question 8

I think one of the most important questions right now, how have you handled cancellations/rescheduling due to Covid 19?

Accepted Answer

That's a tough one but yes we do honor the fact that we are in trying times for events of all kinds and there have been a number of cancellations and rescheduling on our end. I have set up my team (pre-pandemic) to be able to handle up to 3 or even 4 weddings on a single day to cover heavy days as well as to be able to cover in case one of my filmmakers had an emergency and couldn't make it.

Question 9

What are your Covid 19 policies if it happens to still be an issue? Are there any fees for moving dates for that reason?

Accepted Answer

I am always willing to negotiate with my brides even as much as changing the package to better accommodate their current needs. If the ceremony needs to stay on the current booked date but you want to reschedule the reception to another date, I would have to charge an extra $500 to cover the added date to the package.
