FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question
CAN WE GET THE RAW FOOTAGE?
Answer
Of course! The ‘all in’ add-on gives you all the raw footage from your wedding day. Any shaky shots and duplicate shots will be removed.
Question
DO YOU OFFER FILMS LONGER THAN THE HIGHLIGHT FILM?
Answer
Yes! If you believe your story needs more than 5 minutes to be told, you can extend your film to 8+ minutes or 15+ minutes. This allows for more speeches, vows, moments, details and emotion to be added to give your film a deeper story.
Question
I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY HOURS OF COVERAGE I NEED, WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?
Answer
8 hours is generally what you need for a wedding day and between 3-4 for an elopement. However, if you are having a special exit planned, wanted more shots of you and your partner getting ready or have an epic location in mind for your film that would take some time to hike to then you can always add on those hours accordingly.
Question
DO WE PICK THE MUSIC?
Answer
I'm unable to use mainstream music in your wedding film for a few important reasons. Firstly, it's crucial to consider the pacing and overall mood of your special day. Your wedding film should be accompanied by a music piece that accurately reflects the emotions and atmosphere of your wedding, while also matching the storytelling rhythm. Unfortunately, many popular songs lack the necessary elements of build and progression that are essential for enhancing your film's narrative.
The second reason is licensing. As a professional filmmaker, I adhere to legal and ethical practices by licensing all the music I use. This ensures that your film is created with the proper permissions from the artists, allowing you to easily share it with your loved ones. In contrast, licensing mainstream music can be exorbitantly expensive, often reaching thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Additionally, using a popular song from a specific year might make your wedding film feel outdated when you look back on it years later.
Question
DO YOU TRAVEL?
Answer
I'm always ready to capture your special day, regardless of the location! Whether your wedding or elopement takes place near or far, count on me to be there to document those precious moments. It's important to note that travel fees may apply depending on the destination of your wedding. However, we can discuss the details of these fees during our call to ensure transparency and clarity.
Question
CAN WE ADD TO OUR PACKAGE AFTER WE BOOK YOU AND/OR AFTER OUR WEDDING?
Answer
You sure can! Add-ons such as a ceremony edit or toasts edit can be added to your package even after your wedding day is over. Your ceremony and toasts will all be recorded in their entirety so that you have this option.
Question
DO YOU POSE AND DIRECT US? OR ARE YOU MORE DOCUMENTARY STYLE?
Answer
The approach I take is a combination of both candid and directed moments. Some parts of your day are best captured by simply documenting the genuine, unplanned moments as they unfold. These authentic moments often hold a unique charm. During your bridal sessions, however, I'll provide you with prompts and guidance to help you and your partner feel at ease in front of the camera. This will ensure that you both feel relaxed, comfortable, and have an incredible time throughout the process. My goal is to create a balance between capturing spontaneous, candid moments and guiding you to have the most enjoyable and memorable experience possible.
