20 years from now, imagine sitting down with your grandchildren and showing them a video of the day you married the love of your life. Pushing play and reliving the emotions and the celebration that can transport you back to that moment and not just the poses behind the photos. I believe video is the only way to truly remember and show what that day was really like.
-
The simple answer is, it's expensive and restrictive. Between equipment, training, and licensing, adding drone footage requires at minimum an additional $300/hr charge. And in my professional opinion, aerial footage of the location is not adding any magic to this very intimate, special day. It can also only be offered under perfect weather conditions, ie; minimal wind/rain, must be before dusk or require an FAA Night Waiver. My goal is to provide coverage of the bride and groom, their family and friends, and I find that the most cherished shots I provide cannot be captured with a drone.

By law, music for your videos must be licensed due to copyrights. We typically select music from musicbed.com and most couples prefer to have us choose the specific songs. We are also more than happy to have you browse musicbed.com and select some song options that you like!
-
For an additional charge, yes, we will provide raw footage. However, we do warn you, viewing our RAW video files is much different than photos. For example, your video is comprised of hundreds of small clips which are then edited together and can’t be watched as a 24 hour video of your day.
-
Documentary style, behind the scenes, there to capture your event as it occurred, with timeless edits and candid moments.
-
We scale our gear up and down depending on the package you select. That being said, for all weddings we use at least 2 professional cinema cameras, all professional Sony Equipment and hidden GoPros throughout for backup footage. I shoot all 4K and deliver in 1080 to maximize quality and shot composition.
-
Absolutely! We place lavalier mics on the groom and officiant which provides clear audio. We also try to tap into a sound board as a back-up recording whenever possible. We use a similar recording process for the toasts as well.
-
Your wedding date can be held / reserved with a signed contract and 50% retainer of your package price.
-
Preferred choice of payment; Venmo to protect us both. Cash or Check must be in person and Paypal requires a 3% fee.
-
Half of your package price is due upon signing of the contract to reserve your date and the other half is due on or before your wedding day. Typically our couples like paying their final payment before their wedding day as it’s one less thing to think about during your busy day.
-
Your 50% retainer is non-refundable.
-
We work with you in selecting a package that best fits your day. Typically, we have not run into any issues, even with weddings running behind schedule. But if something happens and you need us to stay, additional coverage can be added on by the hour at the same rate as when you booked.
-
Yes please! As weddings are very long days, we do required a meal break. We are fine with vendor meals or whatever you offer. I recommend that we be served at the same time as the bride and groom so that when they are done eating, we are done as well and can start capturing the next event. If a meal is not provided for us then we require an hour to leave the venue to eat.
