The process
Schedule a Chat
Love what you see? Let’s talk details. Fill out the inquiry form and we’ll get a Zoom chat on the calendar so we can get to know one another and talk through any of your questions about working together.
Make it Official
After we chat, I’ll send over a proposal for you to review. Your wedding date is reserved once you sign the contract and make a 50% deposit. The remainder is due one month before your wedding date.
Plan & Film
About a month before your big day, we’ll check in to go over your timeline. I’ll chat with your DJ and photographer as needed. On your wedding day, I’ll capture every perfect moment while you relax and soak it all in.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WORKING WITH ME
WHAT HAPPENS ON OUR WEDDING DAY?
I’m a pretty laid back guy, and I like to keep things simple and easy. I work closely with your photographer to make sure I capture every moment without being in the moment.
I’m a pro at quick and simple direction so you don’t have to worry about “performing” or holding awkward poses. You get to feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident while I focus on getting your experience, the tiniest details, and every special moment on film.

FAQ
-
I recommend booking at least 7-8 months before your wedding date. You can always book earlier, but don’t wait too long – my calendar tends to fill up pretty quickly.
-
I will check-in to make sure everything we need for your ultimate wedding video is included in your timeline, but I do not create them. You’ll typically work with your wedding planner, coordinator, or photographer to structure your full timeline.
-
You are welcome to set my arrival and departure time for whenever works best for your timeline and wedding day schedule. If you would like me to capture some shots of you getting ready, I recommend setting my arrival at least 1-3 hours prior to when you will be getting into your tux and gown. I will need time to film the location, drone shots of the property, and shots such as your jewelry and invitation suite. At the end of the evening, I do like to capture the cake cutting, photo booth, or other late-night surprises, but most couples do not have me stay for more than one hour of the open dance time. I am happy to review your unique timeline and make a recommendation from there!

Every wedding video package begins with the highlight film. This timeless film tells the most important pieces of your love story, and the length of this film varies by the package you choose. This is the type of video you see in my portfolio, and the one that is often shared to social media! The doc edit (included in certain packages) provides you with the full footage of your ceremony, speeches, and first dances. While this footage is not edited into a story like the highlight film, it is not 100% raw as I do take care to provide multiple camera angles throughout. Doc edits make it easier to relive your wedding day, since the entirety of your ceremony, speeches, and dances will not be in the highlight film.
