Frequently Asked Questions
general
We love your finished films, but what does it look like working with you guys on our day?
We want this to be easy and seamless for you. We use small camera setups that aren’t obtrusive and keep the focus on you and your family. We shoot documentary style in order to capture your day as it happens. We give little direction, but work shoulder-to-shoulder with your photographer and coordinators as they direct your day.
How far ahead should we book you?
When you decide we’re the appropriate fit for you! Our bookings go quick due to our limited number of clients to ensure premier quality. Reach out as soon as you can!
films
What kind of gear do you use?
We shoot on Sony digital cameras. We are heavily dedicated to our Zeiss cinematic lenses (of which we have many). We also use Canon Super 8 and 16mm film cameras.
Who chooses the music for our film?
We feel pretty passionately that this is a collaboration between us and our couples. We’ll always ask for a playlist of songs that you guys love—whether they are songs that mean something significant to you, songs you like the sound of, or whatever. (A lot of couples send us a Spotify playlist). This helps us get a feel for your musical vibe. Based off your playlist and our footage, we obsessively dig and dig and dig until we find what we feel goes perfectly with your taste and with the footage we shot. Sometimes we use a song directly off your list, often we use same artists, but always similar sounds/vibe. AND you always have veto power, so if you get something back and you aren’t into it, just tell us and we’ll go back to the drawing board. If there’s a song you definitively want in your film, let us know, and we’ll do everything we can to make it work. We aren’t divas about it, and this is your film after all.
We love our film but would also like the raw footage, is that possible?
Yes, we can provide raw footage as part of your package. We do ask that you keep in mind that raw footage is not edited and is not intended to look polished. If you would like the raw footage, please include this information in your inquiry.
What is your turn around time?
We get you a sneak peek, or little teaser, within about 1 month of your wedding day. For everything else, plan on 4-6 months depending on how busy our season is. It’s really important to us to take our time getting you the perfect film that you will adore and watch forever.
Pricing
Do you require a deposit?
We require a $1500 deposit at the time of booking. This and the signed agreement is what locks in your date!
We didn’t plan for videography and are on a tight budget, are you flexible with pricing?
We are flexible with the way we structure our packages, so there is a little wiggle room in that sense. If you have any specific questions, reach out to us. Even if we can’t make it work within your budget, we might be able to recommend others who could.
