FAQs
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
