Hey there! I know planning a wedding can come with a lot of questions, especially when it comes to capturing your big day on film. No worries—I’ve got you covered! Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions I get about my work, process, and everything in between. And if you still have more questions after reading through, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to chat. Let’s make this as stress-free (and fun!) as possible.
We shoot with 4K or higher cinema-grade cameras to ensure your wedding film looks stunning. Our setup includes a mix of prime lenses for those beautiful bokeh shots and zoom lenses for versatility.
If you’re curious about the nerdy details, we’re happy to chat at our consultation meeting! And don’t worry—at the end of the day, it’s more about the artist than the equipment.
That’s why you’re hiring us!
Absolutely! We come prepared with backup cameras, lenses, and other critical pieces of gear.
Every moment is irreplaceable, and we take that responsibility very seriously. If one piece of gear decides to take a break, we’ve got more standing by to capture your day perfectly.
First, I’d be devastated to miss your big day! However, in the unlikely event that I can’t make it, I have a trusted network of talented videographers who share my style and vision. Your wedding will be filmed with the same care and quality, and you won’t have to worry about a thing.
There would be no extra cost or stress for you – I’d handle everything behind the scenes to ensure your day is perfectly captured.
Yes! Alongside the highlight film, you’ll receive all the raw, unedited video footage on a USB drive. This includes every moment, from the full ceremony and first dances to speeches and guest toasts. Each part of the day is organized into specific categories, so you can easily find and rewatch any moment.
Yes, I’m a licensed drone pilot! Adding aerial shots can bring a unique perspective to your wedding film, capturing dynamic views that enhance the story of your day. We’ll discuss your venue and location to determine the best approach for stunning aerial footage.
Absolutely! Your film should reflect your style and personality, and music is a big part of that. We’ll work with you to select tracks that fit the mood and feel of your day, ensuring the final product feels uniquely yours.
Now, not all music is on the table since copyright can be tricky, but I bring my musical know-how to the table to translate the music you like into vibes that fit your wedding film – and your personalities – perfectly!
Yes, we do! Engagement sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to capture this special time in your life. Plus, it’s a great opportunity for us to get to know each other before the big day.
Whether we make a special film just for your engagement, or we film lifestyle footage to incorporate into your wedding day film, you won’t regret the extra coverage and chance to capture this once-in-a-lifetime season of life!
You bet! We love a good adventure. For weddings within 60 miles of Chicago, there’s no extra charge. For destination weddings, we just ask that you cover travel expenses. Whether it’s a beachfront ceremony in Mexico or a mountain top “I do” in Colorado, we’re excited to capture your day, wherever it may be!
For weddings outside of the Chicago area, we’ll discuss travel arrangements during our consultation.
I’ve been professionally filming weddings since 2017, but my journey in videography started much earlier. With years of experience under my belt, I’ve developed a keen eye for those special moments that make each wedding unique.
My style is best described as cinematic storytelling with a touch of journalistic authenticity. I aim to capture the genuine emotions and spontaneous moments of your day, while also creating beautifully composed shots that give your film a cinematic quality.
I believe every couple has a unique story, and that’s how I approach every film. I take the time to get to know you before the big day to understand your style, personality, and what moments matter most to you. Then, I blend candid shots with cinematic storytelling to create a film that’s as unique as your love story.
Preparation is key! Before your wedding day, we’ll have a detailed discussion about your timeline, must-have shots, and any special moments you want captured.
On the day itself, I arrive early to scout locations and stay alert throughout the event. My experience has taught me to anticipate those precious, spontaneous moments too!
I love customizing my approach to fit your unique vision!
While I have my signature style that work for most couples, I’m always open to discussing special requests. Whether it’s a unique filming location, a specific editing style, or incorporating family heirlooms into your film, let’s chat about how we can make your wedding film truly one-of-a-kind.
Music is a huge part of my life! While I don’t typically perform at weddings, my musical background definitely influences how I capture and edit your film. I have a keen ear for timing, rhythm, and emotional crescendos, which translates into beautifully paced wedding films that flow like a well-composed piece of music.
If you’re looking for a little extra ambiance, ask me to play a tune at your consultation meeting 🙂!
I keep the process easy and engaging. We’ll start by connecting—just take a quick survey with a few questions to help me understand your vision and preferences. From there, we’ll build a plan together to bring your story to life on film.
Reach out here. I am excited to meet you and answer all the big (and small) questions!
