You’ve got enough to think about while planning your wedding. Here are answers to a few questions you might have about your films and what it’s like to work together. If there’s anything else on your mind, I’m always happy to help!

What’s included in our wedding films?

Every wedding package includes two films:

Wedding Film

A cinematic highlight film set to licensed music, bringing together the moments, people, and feeling of your day.

Footage Edit

A longer edit that lets you revisit the main events with their natural audio, including your ceremony and toasts when they’re part of your coverage. I use small microphones and audio recorders to preserve those moments as they happened.

The Wedding Film brings the story together, while the Footage Edit gives you more time with the moments you’ll want to remember.

How much coverage do we need?

You don’t need to have your whole timeline figured out before reaching out. Share what you’re planning and which moments matter most, and I’ll help you choose coverage that makes sense.

We’ll consider things like getting ready, your ceremony, toasts, travel between locations, and any details or traditions that are especially important to you.

If your plans change, we can always revisit the coverage and discuss adding time.

When will we receive our films?

My standard turnaround time is 8–12 weeks, though I always aim to deliver sooner. Your proposal will confirm the timing for your package.

If you’d like to receive your films sooner, expedited turnaround is available as an add-on. You can find that option in the add-on section of the pricing guide.

We’re not used to being on camera. What should we expect?

That’s completely okay! You don’t need to know how to pose or do anything special for the camera.

My goal is to create an environment where you can feel comfortable, stay present, and enjoy the day as it’s happening. I use a small, unobtrusive setup, keep a low profile, and avoid over-directing every moment. I’ll offer guidance when it’s helpful, but for the most part, I want to give you space to be yourselves and capture what happens naturally.

How do you work with our photographer?

I love working with photographers, and I want it to feel like we’re all on the same team. If we haven’t worked together before, I’ll usually connect with them ahead of time to coordinate around the timeline and make sure both photo and video have the space we need.

The goal is to keep things smooth and relaxed so you can spend more time enjoying your day.

Can we choose the music?

Choosing the music is one of my favorite parts of bringing a Wedding Film together, and it’s something I put a lot of care into. I’m also open to your input, whether you want to share favorite genres, artists, songs for inspiration, or just a few words about the feeling you’re drawn to.

I choose the final music from tracks I can legally license for your film. Popular or commercial songs can’t be used in the finished film, but you’re welcome to share them as creative references for the mood, energy, or style you love. Send any music preferences before the wedding so I can keep them in mind.

Do you use a drone?

Sometimes, when the location, weather, flight rules, and schedule allow. I don’t use a drone at every wedding, but when I do, it’s typically to show the setting and surrounding landscape.

Drone footage isn’t guaranteed, so if it’s something you’re especially hoping for, let me know and we can talk through the possibilities.

Is the Footage Edit the same as raw footage?

They’re different. The Footage Edit is assembled for you to watch and enjoy, with the main events and natural audio from your day.

Raw footage consists of the original camera files, including setup moments, camera adjustments, and clips that would normally be edited out. It isn’t a standard package deliverable, but if you’re interested in it, let me know so we can discuss the options.

Can we keep our films private?

Of course. If you’d prefer that footage from your day stay off my website, social media, and other promotional materials, let me know before booking.

I offer a privacy version of my agreement so those preferences are clearly reflected before you sign.

How do we book?

Reach out with your date, location, and a little about what you’re planning. We can talk through your coverage, answer any questions, and put together a proposal.

I’d love to hear what you’re planning!
