Question 1

Why Should We Choose You?

Accepted Answer

As far as I know I am the only videographer that fully involves my couples in crafting their wedding film by allowing choices in color and music. Heck, if you dont like a clip I chose in the video just let me know and ill take it out and replace it with something else! Ive filmed over 100 wedding films in many different states, and my reviews speak for themselves. I am experienced, respectful, but also fun and I am great at making films that capture and portray emotion.

Question 2

Do you offer drone coverage?

Accepted Answer

All packages include drone coverage, as I am Part 107 licensed with the FAA as well as insured. Flight restrictions and weather conditions do apply.

Question 3

What is your business policy for travel expenses?

Accepted Answer

I do not charge any travel expenses for events that are under 3 hours from Lancaster PA. In the event that the wedding is over 3 hours I just ask that the couple covers the cost of a modest hotel room for 1 night. For weddings where an airplane flight will be required I just ask that the couple covers flights and hotels.

Question 4

How many videographers do you have on your team?

Accepted Answer

The silver collection includes 1 filmmaker, while the gold and diamond collections include 2 filmmakers.

Question 5

What is your payment policy?

Accepted Answer

This is where I strive to help my couples. We require a 20% deposit and the remainder of the balance must be paid in full 1 week before the wedding. The cost of the wedding can also be split into up to 10 interest-free payments. The final balance must be paid 1 week before the wedding day. This helps my couples that want to pick a few add-ons, but can't afford to pay all at once.

Question 6

What forms of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Checks, Venmo, and Credit Card.

Question 7

What is your turnaround time for my wedding film?

Accepted Answer

The average turnaround is 2-4 weeks depending on the time of year, but In the busy season delivery can take up to 8 weeks.

Question 8

How is Audio Recorded?

Accepted Answer

High-quality audio is recorded by using lavalier microphones when possible. To capture DJ audio I use a 32-bit recorder that is all but foolproof. Needless to say, there are always at least 2 types of audio recording happening during your event. Listen to my audio and then go listen to the cheaper videographers. It makes a BIG difference.

Question 9

How Does the Collaborative Editing Process Work?

Accepted Answer

The collaborative editing process is actually very simple. The couple gets to choose their color style from a list I provide, but we can get creative if you find another color style you like. The couple then gets to choose their song(s) from my licensing sites. A curated list is provided to help my couples find a song they love with little effort. I also can choose music or coloring for the couple if they would prefer.

Question 10

Do you film destination weddings and Elopements?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! I am based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but I am available for destination weddings worldwide. If your wedding is over 3 hours from Lancaster PA I just ask the couple to cover the cost of travel and reasonable accommodations.

Question 11

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 my availability. I film a limited number of weddings every year to ensure my couples receive the highest quality service, so my calendar typically fills up months in advance.

Question 12

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 13

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

Accepted Answer

I do keep umbrellas in my camera bag at all times to protect my gear and continue filming. In the case that conditions worsen, I will have to pause recording until conditions approve.

Question 14

Who will edit our wedding video?

Accepted Answer

All footage I film is edited in-house by me personally.

Question 15

Can anyone else see our wedding video?

Accepted Answer

You will be the first to view your wedding film. Then once your video is approved I will send a sharable link, and copies that you can share with friends and family.
