Below are a few frequently asked questions (FAQ) along with quick answers that my be helpful to you. Should you find your answers is not available here, please feel free to contact us at anytime...
How many photos will I get?
Photos vary by project. We take a lot of photos! At most events, a photographer would take 100-150 images per hour. Then we go through and select the best ones for you.
How long is the video?
Video length varies based on the amount of footage (an entire event day can be 6-13 hours) so the final video varies. But you do have a say in how long you want the final product to be. An edited video can be between 20 minutes to 90 minutes. You can also get revisions on the edit.
What kind of gear do you use?
Professional Canon and Sony cameras, tripods, sliders, gimbals, monopods, lights, wireless lavs, and digital audio recorders.
I’m not sure how much coverage time I need.
We can help you figure that out! We love connecting with our clients to get a feel of their event day. We talk about the timeline, event prep, type of ceremony, reception, different locations, travel times between locations, and first look. Discussing the different parts of your day will help to determine how much coverage you need.
Can I get a free consultation before deciding to sign with your company?
Yes absolutely! Your event will be one of the most important days of your life. You plan it for more than a year, put all the pieces together like a puzzle - venue, dress, food, cake, desserts, floral arrangement, DJ/Band, hair and makeup, invitations, limo....... and the list goes on and on. On your event day, your photographers and videographers spend more time with you than any other vendor. We would prefer to meet you when possible to discuss your event.
Do you offer Drone coverage?
Yes, we do. Please note that not all venues allow drones.
How long before I receive the final product?
We strive to have your project done in a timely manner. Sometimes we cover up to 4+ events per weekend during our busy season, so the delivery time could be a bit longer. We do try to have it completed between 5-10 weeks.
Can I purchase a package as a gift for someone else?
Yes! any wedding package or engagement session can be purchased as a gift.
Is a meal required?
No, meals are not required. However, please inform us if a meal will not be provided.
Why does photo/video cost so much?
A wedding day coverage could be 12 hours (or more). Shooting approximately 100 photos per hour or having multiple video cameras to cover the ceremony and reception will result in lots of photos and video footage to edit. After the wedding is done, the hours start to add up with the editing. It may seem like a high cost upfront just for a day of coverage but that cost also includes lots of hours of editing. After you've parted ways with all the other vendors, your photographer/videographer is still working for you, preserving memories that WILL be passed down to other generations.
Are you front and center while doing your job?
No! There's a reason we buy expensive equipment. Having long lenses and zooming capabilities enables us to be further away while getting close up on the important parts.
Do you offer full-day coverage?
Yes, we do! Although most events are usually done in 10 hours, we do offer full-day (unlimited) coverage.
How do you work with other vendors?
Because we shoot both video and photography, we are always mindful of the other vendors working alongside us even if they are not part of our team.
We realize that it is not our day and we are all there to give our best to the host.
Why do you guys seem to bring so much equipment?
A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so having the right equipment will get the job done right. But there's also the backup equipment! If someone accidentally knocks a camera on the dance floor or has a mechanical failure, guess what! back up equipment is on site. Sometimes shooting a 13-hour day will require more batteries and cards. A dark dance floor may require more flashes or lights for video. Record audio from a band vs a DJ will require an extra recorder. It may start to rain and we need a plan B for the outdoor portraits after the ceremony. If all that's left is low-light areas inside, then we break out light Stands and lights so you can still have beautiful portraits. Therefore we bring equipment to be prepared for any situation.
