Frequently Asked Questions

My approach is a delicate dance between documentary storytelling and cinematic artistry. I don't just record moments—I weave visual poetry from them. Each wedding film is crafted with a distinctive blend of authentic emotion and visual rhythm that honors your unique love story. Rather than following trends, I create timeless pieces that will feel as relevant on your 50th anniversary as they do today.

Like catching fireflies on a summer evening, timing is everything. Most couples secure their date 9-12 months before their wedding, especially for peak season celebrations (May-October). For winter weddings, 6-8 months is typically sufficient. However, I occasionally have last-minute availability due to cancellations, so don't hesitate to reach out even if your celebration is approaching soon. The key is making that first connection—let's start the conversation about preserving your day in motion and light.

I offer three core experiences: Essence (6 hours), Journey (8 hours), and Legacy (10+ hours). Each includes a highlight film (5-7 minutes), full ceremony coverage, and digital delivery. The Journey adds getting-ready footage and a longer feature film (15-20 minutes). The Legacy package includes everything plus drone footage, a next-day preview, and raw footage archives. However, I believe in tailored storytelling—we can craft a custom package that perfectly aligns with your vision and needs, as unique as your relationship itself.

Creating your wedding film is like aging fine wine—it takes time to reach its full potential. Typically, you'll receive your highlight film within 8-10 weeks during standard season, and 10-12 weeks during peak wedding months. For couples who choose the Legacy package, you'll receive a 60-90 second preview within 48 hours—a perfect teaser to share while the celebration is still fresh. The complete feature film follows 2-3 weeks after the highlight delivery. Every frame is meticulously selected and edited to ensure your story unfolds with the perfect emotional resonance.

While I can capture beautiful stories solo, adding a second videographer is like having both melody and harmony in a song—it creates richness and depth. For weddings with more than 100 guests or multiple locations, I strongly recommend a second videographer to ensure we capture all the parallel moments and perspectives. My second videographers are carefully selected artists who understand my vision and approach. They're not just camera operators but storytelling partners who help capture the whispered moments happening in the margins of your celebration.

The photographer-videographer relationship is a beautiful choreography—we're dance partners creating different but complementary art. Before your wedding, I'll reach out to your photographer to introduce myself and discuss our approaches. On the day, we work in harmony, respecting each other's craft and space. I use unobtrusive equipment and natural lighting techniques that won't interfere with photography. Many photographers I've worked with comment on how seamlessly we blend our processes, like shadows and light working together to create a complete picture of your day.

My toolkit is a carefully curated collection of professional cinema-grade equipment that balances technical excellence with practical mobility. I primarily shoot with Sony cinema cameras (FX6 and A7SIII) paired with premium Sigma Art lenses that capture stunning images even in challenging lighting conditions. For movement, I employ a combination of DJI Ronin gimbals and fluid-head tripods. Audio is captured with redundant systems including Sennheiser wireless lavaliers and Zoom field recorders. For aerial perspectives, I utilize the DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone (FAA certified). Every piece of equipment is selected to be both unobtrusive and capable of capturing cinema-quality footage.

Music is the invisible emotion that carries your visual story—it's crucial to get it right. I license all music through premium platforms that allow for commercial and social media use. You're welcome to suggest artists, genres, or specific songs that resonate with your relationship, and I'll find licensed alternatives that capture that same emotional essence. Alternatively, you can trust my curating ear—I spend hours finding the perfect musical companion for each film, selecting tracks that amplify the emotional rhythm of your day. For couples who desire completely custom soundtracks, I partner with several composers who can create original music exclusively for your film.

Absolutely—I believe love stories deserve to be told wherever they unfold. I've captured celebrations from Tuscan vineyards to Caribbean beaches and mountain peaks. Destination weddings receive special rate considerations, particularly for multi-day coverage. Travel fees typically include transportation, accommodation for filming dates (plus one day before for location scouting), and a per diem. I travel with compact yet professional gear designed for international mobility. For destinations requiring specialized permits (like certain national parks or historic sites), I handle all the necessary arrangements to ensure smooth filming operations.

While this scenario is exceedingly rare (I've never missed a wedding in my career), I maintain a robust contingency plan. I'm part of an exclusive network of professional wedding videographers with similar styles and standards who can step in as emergency coverage. Additionally, all contracts include a guarantee that if I'm physically unable to film your wedding, I'll provide a replacement of equal or greater skill at no additional cost. Your deposit and payments remain secure, and I would personally oversee the editing process to ensure the film maintains my signature style regardless of who captures the footage.

Light is my primary artistic medium, and I've mastered the art of working with whatever illumination the day provides. My cameras excel in low-light environments like candlelit receptions or twilight ceremonies. I use natural light whenever possible, supplemented by unobtrusive LED panels for critical moments. Before your wedding, I'll visit the venue or research similar spaces to anticipate lighting challenges. For dramatic lighting shifts (like stepping from a dark church into bright sunlight), I employ specialized techniques to maintain seamless footage. I never use harsh on-camera lights that blind guests or create unflattering shadows—instead, I work with the existing atmosphere to preserve the authentic mood of each moment.
