Question 1

Where are you based? / Do you travel?

Accepted Answer

We’re based out of a small, rural town in Central PA called Mifflintown, but we film weddings all over Pennsylvania. And we’re totally down to travel -we actually have special prices for destination weddings! Contact us and we’ll get you more information.

Question 2

What's your coverage hour limit?

Accepted Answer

Our coverage limit is 10 hours because a lot of the time we're traveling upwards of 2+ hours (sometimes more) before/after the wedding.

Question 3

Why is wedding videography so important?

Accepted Answer

We totally get that hiring a videographer is an investment, but it’s just as important as hiring a photographer. Weddings are very long, very busy days and they fly by so much faster than you think. Having a video of your wedding to share or a video to watch on your anniversary every year is really the gift that keeps on giving. Having a videographer there to capture precious moments like 2 people committing to love and cherish one another for the rest of their lives is so crucial. A photo just can’t capture the emotion going on like video can.

Question 4

When's the best time to book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Out of the hundreds of inquiries we receive each year, we only accept a small number of them simply because we’re a small, family-owned business and really take pride in spending quality time with our family. So we recommend reaching out the second that you’re thinking about booking.

Question 5

How do I reserve my wedding date with you?

Accepted Answer

We’ll reserve your date for you with a signed contract and a retainer payment. You can get the process started by filling out our contact form on our website: zimmvideo.com/contact

Question 6

Do we get to meet you before our wedding?

Accepted Answer

We would LOVE to meet you before the wedding! If you live local, we’d love to grab a coffee and say hi! Otherwise, we’d love to set up a video chat beforehand to go over any details and say hello.

Question 7

What happens if you get sick and can't make it?

Accepted Answer

Firstly, in all our years of being in business, this has NEVER happened. We’ve never once missed a wedding for any reason ever. Now, if this were to happen for some reason, we’d contact you right away and try to find a fitting replacement last minute.

Question 8

Do you get along with photographers and other vendors?

Accepted Answer

You obviously haven't met us -we get along with EVERYONE. We're pretty dang likable people. But, yes, photographers tend to love us. We're super respectful of photographers, great communicators, incredible huggers, and our moms tell us we have really great smiles.

Question 9

Do you offer raw footage?

Accepted Answer

We do! We offer raw footage in the form of our 'Documentary Edit' where we take all the files from our cameras and organize them in chronological order.

Question 10

Who picks the music for our video?

Accepted Answer

For legal reasons, we do. Popular songs cannot legally be licensed for a reasonable price, so we pay to use copyrighted music. This allows you to be able to share your video to any social media platforms without the risk of it being taken down.

Question 11

How long will it take to get our video?

Accepted Answer

Because we are a smaller company with just two employees, it can sometimes take up to 8 months to get your film and videos back (such was the case after Covid). But we’re pretty resourceful, so depending on the time of year, your digital delivery should be available around 3-4 months after your wedding day.

Question 12

How much should I budget for wedding videography?

Accepted Answer

There’s a lot that goes into pricing for a wedding videographer -from hours spent on the wedding day to post-production. Plus hiring shooters, equipment, payroll, insurance, taxes, subscriptions.. -there are so many factors. An insured, experienced wedding videographer will be charging a little more than someone new to the field. Definitely shop around to get a sense of what kind of style you like and what each videographer offers. But, for an insured, experienced videographer, I’d expect to spend around $3000+ on average.
