Authentic, Timeless, and Cinematic Storytelling.
FAQ's
How many hours of coverage is included in your Collections?
I truly feel a full day of coverage is needed to tell your story. I always arrive during preparations and will be there to capture some of the party. Time will vary from each wedding, and we will always discuss this beforehand.
Do you offer photography?
Yes, I do. If you would like to book me for photography instead of video, I can do that. If you'd like to book for both, ask about the photo and video collection.
Do you offer services outside of your area?
I grew up a military brat, so I enjoy traveling the world. Whether it's a small, intimate elopement in Scotland or a large barn wedding in Virginia, I got you covered. I want to be inspired by you, and by the beautiful wedding location that you chose.
I'm camera shy, how will that effect my wedding?
I take a documentary approach to weddings. So I won't ask you to do anything that will make you feel awkward. I want you to enjoy your day, and be yourselves. I like to let the day naturally unfold. I don't use a massive video camera or any obtrusive equipment. In fact, you may even forget that I'm there.
Do you work alone?
My approach is to be very discrete on your wedding day. The last thing I would want to do is overwhelm you with the presence of a large film crew. This is your wedding, a real wedding, and I want to allow space for calm moments. In most cases, it will be only me, and maybe an assistant if needed. If you feel you would benefit from additional cinematographer, or if you are having a large wedding, I can arrange this for you.
How do you record audio?
Audio is very, very important in telling a compelling story. During the ceremonies and speeches, I usually tap into the DJ's soundboard. As a backup, I will clip a small lav mic onto each person speaking, except the bride of course. The bride's audio is picked up from the groom's mic.
When will I receive my film?
The short answer is no later than 4 months after your wedding, but this differs depending on the time of the year your wedding will take place. If I have a clear schedule, this will be sooner. I will be able to give you a more accurate timeline the day after your wedding.
Are you insured?
Yes. If your venue needs proof of insurance, please ask. I'll be more than happy to provide documentation.
How do I book?
First, I want to talk to you, hear your story, and tell you a bit more about myself to make sure we're a good fit. Please fill out the contact form on the contact page.
Thank you for your interest in my work. I am humbled and honored that you have found your way here, and are considering having me to be a part of your special day.
