Here are some of the most common questions we get asked.

What is the ceremony and reception edit?

The ceremony and reception edits are separate films where you can watch each event in full from start to finish. They normally run 30–60 minutes, with 2–4 cameras set up so we can cut between different angles. The ceremony film starts with everyone walking down the aisle and ends with everyone walking back. The reception film includes the grand entrance, first dances, speeches, cake cutting, etc. These edits are mainly for rewatching the whole event, home-video style. Even if you don’t choose these films, every event will still be featured in your highlight film.

What’s the difference between the Social Media film and the Highlight film?

The Social Media film is a fast-paced 60-second recap of the whole day, made for sharing on social media. It gives everyone a glimpse of all the most exciting parts of the day, like watching a movie trailer of your wedding.

The Highlight film is a longer 3–10 minute film that tells more of the story of your whole day.

How long until I get my video?

Your video will typically be delivered within 8 weeks of your wedding day. The contract allows up to 6 months, depending on the package and our backlog of other wedding videos.

Why is a second shooter so important?

Having a second shooter on board makes the whole day run much more smoothly and lets us film 2 places at once (like the bride and groom getting ready at separate locations). It also gives you 2 separate angles, wide and tight, on every event. Just as important, it keeps us on schedule: we can set up efficiently without rushing or cutting corners to keep pace throughout the day.

Are your packages customizable?

Yes! You can remove, swap, or add services to any package to fit the needs of your wedding day.

What do you mean by high-quality audio?

Great visuals are only half of it: audio is 50% of the film. That’s why we put a lavalier mic on the groom during the first look and ceremony to capture anything special being said, along with the officiant (during the ceremony) and the bride’s dad if he’s also doing a first look. Depending on what the DJ allows, we also record everything said through the microphone during the ceremony and speeches.

Are there any travel fees?

Any venue within 50 miles (one way) is free of charge. Beyond that, travel is $0.70 per mile (one way).

Example: a venue 78 miles away adds about a $20 travel fee (28 extra miles × $0.70).

Can we get raw footage?

To protect my business and its reputation, I no longer offer raw footage as an add-on.

Do we get to pick the music for the video?

We ask that our clients trust us with all creative aspects involved in our work, and we will select the music for the film. This allows us creative freedom to deliver our style of wedding cinema, and also to comply with all music copyright laws and support other creative artists. We will secure usage rights and cover all music rights fees for any songs used in your soundtrack.

Are you insured?

Yes, we carry a full liability insurance policy, and we are a registered business.
