Question 1

How many weddings have you shot?

Accepted Answer

I have personally shot well over 500 weddings over the course of more than 15 years. All of our contractors have shot at least 50 weddings.

Question 2

How long do you need to be there?

Accepted Answer

It is best practice if we arrive at least one hour before the bride puts on her dress, and for us to leave a half hour after the dance floor opens. You may want to add hours if you have a unique moment happening beforehand or after this time period.

Question 3

How do you capture sound?

Accepted Answer

We place a small lavaliere mic on the groom during the ceremony. If you have wedding gifts or letters for each other, you can decide if you want audio recorded; we prefer to have audio. During the reception, we plug into the DJ's system. (Confirm with your DJ if you want to be sure!) We always have a backup mic during the ceremony and reception.

Question 4

Do you pick the music?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we pick the music for your final videos. We pay to copyright music from a couple of sites. Most popular songs cannot be legally licensed for a reasonable price. If desired, you can look through the websites we use and let us know what you like.

Question 5

When will I get my videos?

Accepted Answer

Your videos will be ready between 8-to-10 weeks after your wedding. You can request expedited editing to receive your videos in less than 3 weeks for an additional cost.
