FREQUENTLY ASKED

  • HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK YOU?
    In 2023 my local packages start at $4,350.00. Believe it or not this is a pretty competitive price for the cameras and audio equipment I use to film your wedding. You're getting a laid-back approach with a luxury filmmaking experience! An FYI, my 2024 packages will go live in January 2024 and are subject to change (but not by much). Worried about budget? Let's talk about my payment plans.
  • CAN I CUSTOMIZE MY PACKAGE?
    Absolutely! If you'd prefer to DIY, start with my base collection (the Her Standard) and work in as many add-ons as you see fit for a fully customized videography experience! You can add any a la carte services to your purchase any time between booking and our final consultation (which takes place the month before your wedding). This is also applicable for clients whose celebrations span multiple days and need a more personalized approach to their final package.
  • WHAT ARE YOUR MOST POPULAR ADD-ONS?
    If you're looking for the most content you can get your hands on, I'd recommend adding the ceremony and reception edits and/or rehearsal dinner coverage to your collection. The ceremony and reception edits are start-to-finish cuts with audio mixing and color correction. I include as much content as I can in your wedding films and usually pick up on what you're going to like / not like in your final film... but still a lot is left on the editing floor. If you want it all, these edits are for you. If you're looking for the most diverse content in your final film, I'd suggest adding a lifestyle session (ask your photographer if I can tag along at your engagement session), drone footage, or Super 8 / VHS Camcorder footage to really elevate the vibes! Super 8 footage will make you feel like the stars of a 1960s romance with its gritty film looks and the VHS Camcorder footage is for all of those nostalgic 90s kids out there. Add this one and I'll let your wedding party pass the dad cam around all day long!
  • DO YOU PUT AUDIO IN EVERY FILM?
    Yes! Every collection includes full audio coverage. I record audio from at least two sources during the ceremony, speeches, and first looks. My docu-style edits include a lot of environmental sound, too.
  • HOW DO YOU PICK THE MUSIC YOU USE?
    I license all music tracks through a royalty-free production library called MusicBed. This is the best music in the wedding video game and assures that, when shared on social media, your films will not be flagged or taken down for licensing issues. Sadly I cannot include popular Top 40 tracks in my films but I'll work with you on music selection. Promise there won't be any cheesy love songs (unless that's your thing). These tracks are hot and you're supporting small artists around the world. It's a win-win.
  • WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR RAW FOOTAGE AND PROJECT FILES?
    I back-up your footage to three 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 on at least two hard drives in my possession for the foreseeable future. You'll be notified before anything is eventually deleted or cleared from my archives.
  • HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO EDIT MY FILM?
    I aim for a turnaround time of 3-4 months. But please note this is subject to change based on a number of factors ie: the time of year of your wedding, your film's specific editing needs, and unforeseen life circumstances (like a global pandemic!). 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! So you can wait a few months, right? That said, if you're an "instant gratification" person (no shame, you're spending a lot of money) I'd recommend going a different direction. Start-to- finish I typically spend on average 70+ non-consecutive hours on your films and don't like to rush my creative process. Flex and flow people are my kinda people!
  • WHAT IF I DON'T CONSIDER MY WEDDING "TRADITIONAL"?
    What does that word even mean!? I proudly welcome all clients regardless of religion, race, gender, and sexual orientation. If you'd like to see specific examples of representation I'd be happy to curate a reel of my work for you to review!
  • WHO ARE YOUR 2ND SHOOTERS?
    Only the best for you! I draw from a pool of local filmmakers, film students, and other wedding videographers in KC.
  • 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 by the end of the day if we aren't already. Communication is key when it comes to working with other vendors sharing the creative space with me. I try my hardest to anticipate their needs and in return they do the same! I work with a variety of creatives - many of them very different from me stylistically! It's never been a problem. That said, ask me about my faves. :)
  • I REALLY LIKE YOUR WORK, BUT I'M STILL SHOPPING AROUND. HOW LONG WILL YOU HOLD MY DATE?
    I'm happy to hold your date until another potential client inquires with me about it. After that, I'll shoot you a courtesy heads up and give you some time to make a decision. So long as you can communicate with me about your needs I will never abandon you without explanation.
  • DO YOU HAVE VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS?
    Duh! I've got a master preferred vendor list with photographers, planners, florists, HMU teams, DJ's, live bands, rentals, cakes + desserts, and caterers! Ask and you shall receive.
  • DO YOU DO DESTINATION WEDDING FILMS, TOO?
    That's a huge YES! I offer specific packages for elopements, destinations, and out-of-town weddings. I LOVE traveling and have a long bucket list. So far I've shot in Ojai, Cabo, Denver, Rocky Mountain National Park, Philadelphia, Chicago, Puerto Vallarta, St. Louis, Ireland, Destin, the Florida Keys, and Joshua Tree. Reach out for more information regarding travel requests. :)
