Question 1

Do you shoot destination weddings?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! While we’re based in Central Florida, we’re available for destination weddings worldwide. If your wedding is in or near St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay, Lakeland, Orlando, Daytona, St. Augustine, or Gainesville, travel is included in our prices.

Question 2

Do you shoot elopements?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, we love elopements! All the love and joy, less stress! Check out our packages section for an overview of elopement services. Please note that to be considered an elopement, there must be less than 20 guests in attendance.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Once you know your wedding date, we recommend reaching out as soon as possible about our availability. We film a limited number of weddings every year to ensure our couples receive the highest quality service. On average, couples book between 6 and 18 months in advance, but we often get last minute requests we are able to to take, so don't hesitate to reach out even if your date is coming up soon!

Question 4

Who will edit our photos & wedding video?

Accepted Answer

All media is edited by Jessica, owner of Tread Brightly & your personal wedding media editor :) We do not outsource editing to 3rd party businesses. We believe your photos, video, and story is too personal to be left to someone who was not there experiencing the moment with you.

Question 5

Who else can see our wedding photo/video?

Accepted Answer

All media is delivered to you via secure & private link for you to download. The highlight film video, at your consent, will be uploaded to YouTube to be easily shared with friends, family, or social media. This is a public link and can be seen by anyone. We respect everyone's right to privacy, and at your request, the video can be made "private", so only those with the link can view the video. Photos of your day may also be shared by TBM on social media or on our website for promotional purposes.

Question 6

Why do we need 2 photographers/videographers at our wedding?

Accepted Answer

We typically recommend having 2 professionals for photo and/or video. This is largely due to 2 factors: 1) looking after and carrying lots of heavy, expensive, and fragile camera equipment to multiple locations all day is very difficult alone, and 2) we can split up and capture multiple simultaneous moments happening during your day (i.e. groom getting ready while bride has a first look with dad; guests enjoying cocktail hour while the couple takes post-ceremony portraits...). Trust us, having 2 sets of eyes and hands in this job is WAY better than trying to capture everything alone :)

Question 7

What does the booking process look like?

Accepted Answer

Booking is super easy! 1. Just reach out via Zola. We'll respond ASAP, typically within 2 hours. 2. We'll respond to any questions you've posed in your inquiry and set up a time to chat on the phone or Zoom/video call. 3. We'll send you a contract. You fill out the basics, e-sign, send back, and send your $250 retainer to hold your date, and BOOM! You're good to go!

Question 8

Do you require a deposit? What does the payment process look like?

Accepted Answer

We like to keep this as simple and straightforward. We ask for a $250 non-refundable retainer to hold you date (for photo or video only service), or $500 for a photo + video combined service, and a signed contract, to complete the booking process. After that, the balance of your package can be paid up to 5 business days before the wedding in any installments you like. We accept card payments, Zelle, Venmo, Cashapp, and other bank transfer apps.

Question 9

Do your prices include travel?

Accepted Answer

For the most part, yes! We are based in Orlando, perfectly situated to travel to couples all throughout Central Florida. We consider anything within a "2 hour" radius of Orlando our included service area. This includes: Sarasota/Bradenton, Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater, Vero Beach, Space Coast, Daytona, St. Augustine, and Gainesville. Anything in that circle, we are there with no extra charge to you. After that, we ask for a modest travel stipend to cover the cost of our gas and time driving. At 4 hours of drive time or more, we also may request an overnight accommodation stipend. Elopements include up to 1 hour of travel.
