Elopement Videography

What makes elopement videography different from traditional wedding videography?

Elopement videography focuses on capturing the intimacy and unique essence of smaller, more personal celebrations. It emphasizes the couple's love story and the meaningful moments shared in a more private setting, often requiring a more discreet and flexible approach to storytelling.

How far in advance should we book our elopement videographer?

We recommend booking as soon as you have a date in mind, typically at least 3-6 months in advance, to ensure availability. Elopements often involve unique locations and logistics, so the earlier you book, the more time we have to plan together.

Can we customize our videography package?

Absolutely! We understand that every elopement is unique. We offer customizable packages to ensure that we capture your day exactly how you envision it, focusing on what's most important to you.

How long will it take to receive our wedding film?

Our typical turnaround time is 6-8 weeks after your elopement. This allows us to carefully edit and craft your story, ensuring the final product is something you'll treasure forever.

Do you travel for elopements?

Yes, we love to capture love stories in all locations! While based in Portland, we're available for travel and can discuss logistics and any additional costs involved with capturing your special day wherever it may take place.

How long will it take to receive our wedding film?

Our typical turnaround time is 6-8 weeks after your elopement. This allows us to carefully edit and craft your story, ensuring the final product is something you'll treasure forever.

What is your approach to filming an elopement?

Our approach is discreet and unobtrusive, allowing the day to unfold naturally. We focus on capturing the genuine moments and emotions, ensuring the essence of your celebration is preserved without interruption.

How do we secure our date with you?

To secure your date, we require a signed contract and a deposit. The remaining balance is typically due a week before your elopement day. Contact us to start the booking process and discuss any details.

Do you offer Full Ceremony Videos

Weddings are a time of joy and wonder. It's easy to become absorbed in the moment, making it tough for couples to take advantage of the occasion together and appreciate all of the hard work that went into bringing their marriage vision to life! This bundle will allow us to capture every minute of your wedding from start to end. Full wedding ceremony video coverage lets us capture every moment of your big day. We're experienced in capturing the emotions on your wedding day, and will work with you to ensure that your video is exactly how you want it

How far do you travel and will it cost us extra?

We are more than happy to travel as far as needed to capture your perfect wedding day! There is an additional cost for us to travel. We want to make sure that your wedding film is everything you dreamed it would be, and we're willing to go the extra mile to make that happen. If you have travel needs for shooting your wedding, please contact us for a free consultation so that we can discuss travel expenses and how they may affect your final wedding video cost.

How do you capture audio during the wedding?

We use a combination of wireless lapel mics and an omnidirectional microphone. Omnidirectional microphones pick up sound from any direction and don't require a boom pole. They are typically placed on stands near the bride and groom. Lapel mics are worn by the wedding party and picked up good quality audio. We have a set of traditional microphones as well, in case the wireless audio has problems. We'll never let your wedding day be marred by bad sound.

Elopements and Micro-Wedding Films

Recently, couples have been opting for smaller intimate weddings. That's why we provide elopements and micro-weddings films for couples who want a more cinematic and intimate experience for their wedding day.

Do you Offer Raw Footage

Yes, however, Videographers regularly charge for the raw footage as they want to discourage the use of this footage in other mediums. It's a licensing issue as well as a brand issue. If someone takes the raw footage and edits it themselves, they can transfer to any medium they want, and if done poorly, this can reflect badly on the videography company that shot the footage. Remember, when purchasing raw footage, you are essentially purchasing the rights to someone else's creative work, so you have to compensate the artist for that transfer of rights.

Wedding films or Wedding Videos?

How is a wedding film different from a wedding video? A wedding film is a short film that tells the story of your wedding day. It is a more cinematic approach to wedding videography and will typically be around 10-15 minutes long. A wedding video, on the other hand, is a more traditional style of video that captures all of the moments from your wedding day. Both styles are equally beautiful and will capture the memories of your wedding day perfectly.

What is a Wedding Highlight Film?

The highlight film is designed to show off the best parts of your wedding day. From the first dance to the cake cutting, we'll capture the highlights of your wedding day in a fun, fast-paced format. Our goal is to create a compilation of memories that you can enjoy over and over again.

DO you offer Engagement Films

Will you be my witness? Will your love sustain me through this day, and help make it perfect forever? We are on the brink of something incredible. This is not just an engagement film; it's a love story. We at DJ Cutt Entertainment specialize in filming beautiful and timeless engagement films for couples in the Portland area. Our team has a lot of experience filming weddings and knows how to capture the emotion of this special time in a couple's life. We take great care in capturing everything from the proposal to the planning stages of the wedding. Our films are tailored specifically for each couple, and we want to make sure your film is unique to you.

How long does it take to edit a wedding film

Our editing process typically takes about 4-6 weeks per wedding film. We want to make sure that we take the time to get it right, and that you are absolutely thrilled with the final product. Our editing process includes adjustments like color grading, adding music, titles, transitions, etc. The importance of your wedding day doesn't just fade away after it happens. We want you to have a beautiful film that will remind both yourself and those who were there, how much love was felt during this special time in both partner's lives

Do you offer Full Feature Film

This option is for couples that want a separate wedding film that is shot in cinematic quality in the form of a documentary or Hollywood-style film. We dive deeper into the wedding planning process and provide behind-the-scenes footage of the couple, interviews with friends and family, and combine it into a more narrative-type film. This is the best way to tell your love story the way you want it to be told. We'll capture all of the intimate moments you'll want to cherish for the rest of your life.
