Question 1

Do you include raw footage?

Accepted Answer

Our video files are extremely large and are encoded on professional cinema cameras and cannot be viewed without advanced software, so we cannot provide raw files.

Question 2

Do you record audio?

Accepted Answer

Both our short film and premiere package includes dedicated audio recording for ceremonies and receptions. Our highlight package cannot guarantee audio, but will record what is available from the DJ booth and will be dubbed over highlight clips throughout the video.

Question 3

Do you offer drone video?

Accepted Answer

Drone video will always be provided, legally permitting, as long as time permits it. We feel any type of video that adds to your viewing experience should be done without additional charge. Events that require an overnight stay will attempt drone video on non-wedding days whenever possible.

Question 4

What's the difference between your short film and premiere package?

Accepted Answer

Our short film package includes a single videographer who will capture as much as they can depending on schedule or travel needed between locations. We will capture as much as we can with the one shooter. Our premiere package includes multiple shooters who can split up the time and location between them. This allows us to film the most important aspects of your day, in full, from multiple angles.

Question 5

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

We ask only for a $500 deposit up front to reserve your day, the remaining payment can be made prior to your event, on the day of the event, or upon completion within 2 weeks of your event when the video is delivered to you via digital download or hard copy.

Question 6

What is a typical day like for you?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the schedule, I will start my day with the bridal party capturing rings, shoes, dress, make up and hair. Any pre-ceremony moments are captured with both the bridesmaids and groomsmen, schedule and time permitting. After the prep, I will work alongside the photographer for the remainder of the day capturing first looks, full ceremony, cocktail hour and full reception respectively.

Question 7

How do you structure your pricing?

Accepted Answer

Our highlight film is a cinematic slow motion video set to music, our short film is a documentary style movie and our premiere package is an all-inclusive experience from multiple angles. Our premiere package requires multiple shooters and twice as much footage to edit, and our highlight video is edited in sequence, so the amount of footage and editing per project will vary depending on the event.
