06) Can you explain the various edited film options?

Over the last several decades what we deliver has gone thru some dramatic changes. It used to be you often received a 2-3 hour film… usually filmed with a single camera, and it wasn’t all that exciting. Today, with multiple cameras and more advanced editing, we can create several separate films for you depending on what you want to watch 10-20 years from now. Our packages are built around the following types of edited, creative films…

1) Trailer – Teaser Film is typically 1-2 minutes 
2) Highlight Film is typically about 6 minutes
3) Feature Film is about 09-12 minutes
4) Ceremony Film runs in real time
5) Toasts/Speech Experience Films run in real time
6) Sometimes our couples want a little bit of everything. We also can provide a “Raw / Documentary Edit Film”. What we do is take all of the footage we filmed, remove things like walking with a camera looking at the floor, etc. Then we perform a broad color correction and place all of the clips in a sequential order of your day. The audio is as the cameras recorded it except for the edited films dropped into the timeline. Run-time for this film can vary depending on the day or days we are filming. Typically a full raw edit will be in the 2-5 hour range.

05) What about music? Do we get to choose music for our films?

Yes and no. You are hiring us to create a piece of “art” that represents your wedding day to the best of our ability. Sometimes your favorite songs really don’t match the mood or feeling of your day and to use them, would be a failure on our part. Now ultimately, your wedding day is about you and not us. So, we send out a questionnaire after booking us to answer some of our logistical questions as well as some questions about the two of you. Your favorite movies, songs, genre’s, and even the things you don’t like. We use this information to find songs that we can license, and that will represent not only your day, but your style and taste.

04) How far do you travel? And will it cost us extra?

If a US Passport will get us there… we’re ready to go!*

I’m based in Florida and typically every wedding I do will require some form of travel and accommodations. While we are putting together your quote, any additional travel expenses will be added as an addendum.

*NOTE: Each country has specific rules about who can work there… if you’re interested in International destinations, please contact us for availability.

03) Can we just book you? Do we need to schedule a consultation?

When we receive any request, we respond with an email providing additional details which do answer a lot of the questions couples have. After reviewing the first email, If you would like to move forward, we will typically schedule a 30-45 minute call with you or sometimes we will do the planning call with your planner.

We can then lay the groundwork for the best way to capture your day and provide you with the memories you will treasure. Also, since we will be spending a LOT of time together on your wedding day, we BOTH need to be sure we’re a fit.

After our consultation, we will send you a custom quote based on what we both feel are the best options for you to consider. As you review the quote, you can select what you’re most interested in and we will then send you a contract for review as well as an invoice. All online and easily accessible from a computer, tablet, or smartphone.

02) What about Drone or Aerial footage?

We always offer drone or aerial footage with our packages. We don’t charge extra, and we don’t deduct anything if we don’t use. You see, a drone is just one of the many tools we have available, just like an automated 27′ camera mast to give us an aerial shot without a drone. Using a drone or mast at your wedding will depend on a few things… proximity to an airport, venue regulations, WIND, and will the footage add something or make sense for your wedding. We follow all FAA regulations regarding drone use and will work with you to see if it makes sense.
