Can I choose my own music?
Well... Yes & No.
In order to legally use music, I have to pay for the licensing. And I'm happy to do so - love it when artists get paid! Getting licenses for popular music can be both difficult and expensive. Lucky for us, there are a few amazing sites that make licensing easy. There are some popular artists, but most are super cool indy artists. Which I love!
So... If you'd like to participate in music selection, I can send you links to the sites we use and you can choose from there!

Why is the Signature Same Day Edit less expensive than a cinematic film?
Some would say it's because I'm crazy... haha. Yes, editing immediately is more stressful than doing it after the fact. BUT - in this package we aren't trying to capture EVERYTHING. I pre plan most of the shots and then look for some extra magic. But I have a LOT less footage to sift through. Which streamlines the process a great deal!
Do you offer photography as well?
No, I am focused exclusively on video. But I know a few wildly talented photographers who can take good care of you!
I paid for the wedding film as a gift. Does that mean I get control of what goes in it?
WOW! That's a super generous gift! But, no.
The story I'm telling is the couple's. So they are always the client. My contract is always with them.

I want both a cinematic film and a same day edit!
We can absolutely do that for you! The Same Day Edit can be added to any cinema package as an Enhancement.
Why does it cost so much?
I get it - weddings are expensive. And my service doesn't come cheap. The reason is simple. A LOT of hours and love go into each video. Way more than you might imagine. We also have costs such as music licensing and equipment upgrades etc.
I'm so excited you'll be working with us! How many people do I add to my seating chart?
For most of our packages, the whole team is with you all the way into the evening. So, we'll need 3 seats at dinner. Don't worry, you don't have to seat us with grandma or anything. As long as we're together and have a view of the action, we're good! Lots of couples set up a vendors table, which works quite well.
I can't find samples of your Documentary Edits online. Am I missing something?
Not at all! It's simply because there are none! Let us explain... Documentary Edits typically include music from the ceremony or the reception... Those songs are copyrighted. We cannot legally post any footage that contains music that we have not properly licensed.
If your team shoots a Documentary Edit for us, will you still be there for preps or for portraits?
No. If we are covering the Big Moments for you, we are only recording the events we agree upon. In between, our team can be found setting up for the next events or grabbing a snack... shooting makes us hungry!
If I book a Documentary Edit, can I decide I want an highlight film after the wedding?
Unfortunately, no. These two services are approached really differently. There is simply not enough footage for us to make a proper highlight film from a Documentary Edit.
