It is perfectly normal to have questions for your vendors. In fact, I strongly encourage brides and grooms to ask about anything and everything that needs to be clarified. After speaking to several couples, I decided to compile a list of frequently asked questions, along with our answers. If I missed anything - please reach out!
What is your general style?
I would describe my style as naturally cinematic and storytelling. I prefer to remain stealth throughout the day, and avoid putting pressure on the couple with staged scenes. With that said, I always make sure to capture as much material as possible for the best final result (whether a video highlight, or a longer feature film). Everything is discussed with the couple during our pre-wedding meeting to make sure we are all on the same page.
How long have you been filming weddings?
I’ve been filming weddings since 2015, and have worked in the video production field since 2012.
Do you meet with the couple before the wedding day?
In most cases I absolutely prefer to meet with the couple at least once before the wedding day. It’s good to get to know them better, learn their story, so that I can reflect that in the final film.
Love your work and packages, what do I need to save the date?
Awesome! Please reach out to confirm the date with me first. To book, there is a 50% deposit, and we sign a contract agreement.
Check if I am available on your wedding day!
My budget is very limited, do you offer discounts?
Normally I don’t provide discounts, but sometimes there may be seasonal promotions - please contact us to learn more!
There is this awesome song by [insert popular artist name here] that I really like. Can you use it for my wedding film?
I only use licensed and royalty free music in my videos. That’s another great reason to meet with the couple and understand their taste in music - there are always options to choose specific soundtrack style for your final film. But hey, if you have full license rights to that Lady Gaga song and want to use that - I won’t say no to that!
When will I receive the Wedding Video Highlight?
Per contract, it usually takes 3 months to deliver the highlight film. But quite often I can deliver it earlier, within 4-6 weeks. This depends on the other bookings I have, and the backlog of videos that have to be edited. If you need the video produced sooner, let me know and I’ll work with your specific requirements!
I love aerial footage! Can we get that?
Aerial (or drone) footage is available as an add-on to any of my packages, and will be provided where possible. That means the weather has to be cooperating, location not prohibited by FAA regulations, and wedding venue giving permission to fly a drone.
Do you always include Raw Footage with your package?
Raw footage is available as an add-on. Please refer to packages for more information.
Do you travel?
Yes! I love destination weddings and will gladly travel domestic, and international. Contact us to discuss your special event!
Do you have liability insurance?
I sure do! We are a fully insured business and strongly encourage all our clients to only work with insured vendors.
Do you provide wedding photography services?
I am a wedding videographer, but if you need my recommendations - check out the Vendors I Love To Work With page for some ideas!
