Question 1

What is a "Documentary Style Wedding Video"

Accepted Answer

There are many different styles of photography and videography. "Documentary" simply means that I will record your entire wedding as it happened, and deliver you a video of your wedding as it happened. Documentary-style wedding videos allow you to relive your day beat by beat, averaging about 30-45 minutes. This is different than "cinematic" wedding videos which film your entire wedding day but instead deliver you a 7-12 minute highlight of the day. Cinematic wedding films focus on evoking emotion, while documentary wedding films focus on immortalizing the whole day.

Question 2

How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Once you know your wedding date, I recommend reaching out as soon as possible about our availability!

Question 3

Can you still film our outdoor wedding if it rains on our wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, I cannot film outdoors in the rain or other inclement weather conditions like snow and hail.

Question 4

Who will edit our wedding video?

Accepted Answer

All footage I film is edited in-house by myself.

Question 5

Can anyone else see our wedding video?

Accepted Answer

Only those with the private link to your gallery will be able to see your video.

Question 6

Should we book a second shooter?

Accepted Answer

I typically recommend a second-shooter to couples that are either expecting more than 100 guests and/or want more coverage time. Since I am only one person with two cameras, a second shooter can provide one more camera angle to ensure we've covered everyone throughout the day, or if there are dual activities happening in tandem. A great example of this would be if a couple asks me to film their Nikkah ceremony. I offer the option of hiring a second shooter in my add-ons.

Accepted Answer

Nope! Depending on the type of event, you can book me for whatever event you're putting on. If you'd like to contact me to tailor a custom package that suit your needs., simply email jalexandrevideos@gmail.com.

Question 9

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I'm happy to send a copy of my certificate of liability insurance to your venue or any other vendors upon request.

Question 10

How long will it take to hear back about my inquiry?

Accepted Answer

I pride myself on being a fast-responder. If you send me an inquiry, you can rest assured I will get back to you within 24 hours. However, I encourage clients to send an inquiry on Zola as well as a copy to my email (jalexandrevideos@gmail.com) to ensure I see your inquiry as soon as possible.

Question 11

Do you travel?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I have three tiers: local, travel-lite, and destination. Anywhere within 50 miles of Atlanta is local to me and will only necessitate a mileage fee. I consider Orlando FL (within 75 miles) and Long Island NY (within 40 miles) "travel-lite". This means I will only charge for flight and transportation but lodging is covered. Everywhere else would be considered "destination". Don't worry though ;) I try to keep prices reasonable!
