  • HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK YOU?
    STARTING IN 2024 ALL PRICING WILL BE FULLY CUSTOMIZED (MEANING NO SET PACKAGES) AND WILL BE BASED ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS SUCH AS: HOURS OF COVERAGE, NUMBER OF EDITS, ADD-ONS LIKE DRONE COVERAGE OR SUPER 8 FILM, AND YOUR OVERALL BUDGET. A BASIC PACKAGE WILL BE AT LEAST $5K. BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND BUDGETING BETWEEN $6-9K ON MY CINEMATOGRAPHY SERVICES.
  • DO YOU PUT AUDIO IN EVERY FILM?
    TO ME A LUXURY WEDDING DOCUMENTARY = INCREDIBLE AUDIO FROM YOUR DAY. I MIC EVERYONE UP FOR THE "BIG MOMENTS" (FIRST LOOKS, SPEECHES, CEREMONY) AND WILL USE A LOT OF NATURAL SOUNDSCAPES FROM THE DAY. SOUND DESIGN IS ONE OF THE WAYS I ELEVATE THE OVERALL PRODUCTION VALUE OF YOUR FILM. HOWEVER, I WILL NEVER INCLUDE AUDIO OF ANYTHING YOU DO NOT WANT RECORDED. SOME PEOPLE HATE THE SOUND OF THEIR VOICE AND THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
  • HOW DO YOU PICK THE MUSIC YOU USE?
    I LICENSE ALL MUSIC TRACKS THROUGH A ROYALTY-FREE PRODUCTION LIBRARY CALLED MUSIC BED. THIS IS THE BEST MUSIC IN THE GAME AND ASSURES THAT WHEN SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA YOUR FILMS WILL NOT BE FLAGGED OR TAKEN DOWN DUE TO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. SADLY I CANNOT INCLUDE TOP 40 TRACKS IN MY FILMS . BUT I PROMISE THERE WON'T BE ANY CHEESY LOVE SONGS (UNLESS THAT'S YOUR THING). THESE TRACKS ARE HOT AND YOU'RE SUPPORT SMALL BANDS AROUND THE WORLD. WIN WIN!
  • WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR RAW FOOTAGE AND PROJECT FILES?
    I BACK-UP YOUR FOOTAGE TO MULTIPLE PLACES SO THERE'S NO CHANCE OF ACCIDENTAL LOSS. UPON COMPLETION OF YOUR FILM EDIT ALL OF YOUR RAW FOOTAGE AND PROJECT FILES WILL LIVE IN MULTIPLE PLACES FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE. YOU'LL BE NOTIFIED BEFORE ANYTHING IS CLEARED OR ARCHIVED.
  • HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO EDIT MY FILM?
    HONESTLY A LONG TIME. SOMEWHERE IN THE 3-6 MONTH RANGE AND THAT'S SUBJECT TO CHANGE. MY FILMS ARE USUALLY MUCH LONGER THAN MOST. IF A FAST DELIVERY IS YOUR PREFERENCE, I WOULD PREFER YOU BOOK SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE I HATE FEELING RUSHED. I LIKE TO THINK OF IT LIKE THIS: YOU'LL HAVE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO ENJOY THIS FILM. IT'S EVENTUALLY GOING TO BE A FAMILY HEIRLOOM. YOU CAN WAIT.
  • WHAT IF I DON'T CONSIDER MY WEDDING "TRADITIONAL"?
    I PROUDLY AND EARNESTLY SUPPORT ALL LOVE STORIES REGARDLESS OF RELIGION, GENDER, RACE, AND/OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF REPRESENTATION IN MY FILMS I WILL CURATE A REEL OF MY WORK FOR YOU TO REVIEW!
  • WHO ARE YOUR 2ND SHOOTERS?
    ONLY THE BEST IN KANSAS CITY FOR YOU! I DRAW FROM A POOL OF LOCAL FILMMAKERS, FILM STUDENTS, AND OTHER WEDDING CINEMATOGRAPHERS.
  • WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH WORKING WITH PHOTOGRAPHERS?
    NOT TO BRAG BUT I'VE GOT A GOOD REPUTATION AMONG THE PHOTOGS. USUALLY WE END UP FRIENDS. COMMUNICATION IS KEY WHEN IT COMES TO WORKING WITH OTHER VENDORS SHARING THE CREATIVE SPACE WITH ME. I TRY MY HARDEST TO ANTICIPATED THEIR NEEDS AND IN RETURN THEY DO THE SAME. IT'S REALLY THAT SIMPLE! I WORK WITH A VARIETY OF CREATIVES MANY OF THEM DIFFERENT FROM ME STYLISTICALLY.
  • DO YOU HAVE VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS?
    DUH! ASK ME ABOUT MY FAVE PLANNERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, FLORISTS, DJS, BANDS, PHOTO BOOTHS, CALLIGRAPHERS, RENTAL COMPANIES, PRODUCTION COMPANIES, BRIDAL BOUTIQUES, LIVE PAINTERS.... THE LIST GOES ON FOREVER! HAVE A NEED? I'LL HELP YOU FILL IT.
  • DO YOU DO DESTINATION WEDDING FILMS, TOO?
    ABSOLUTELY! I LOVE TRAVELING. I'VE SHOT WEDDINGS AND EVENTS ALL OVER THE MIDWEST, ON THE COASTS, IN NATIONAL PARKS, DOWN IN THE SWAMPY KEYS, ACROSS THE POND IN EUROPE, AND ALL OVER MEXICO.
