Telling your story is fundamental above all. The very first thing we do with our couples is just chat! We sit down with you to get to know you, your story, your style, and what you are looking for. If you’re someone with a vision–whether that’s through your Pinterest Boards or Spotify playlists–we encourage you to tell us more about anything and everything that is special to you. It is so so so important that your wedding film is unique to you, and we honour this through every step of our process! We act as observers, not directors. We never pose you or tell you what to do, and we want you to feel as comfortable as possible. Imagine that you’re enjoying your wedding day to the fullest—and that there’s someone out there just making sure those memories are captured for your lifetime. That is what we do!

Yes! In our pre-production call we go over any special traditions you would like to see honoured in your film.

Your date is officially locked in when you sign our policy agreement and send your retainer. We require a 50% retainer upon time of booking to reserve your date. The remaining 50% is due after you have received your final, perfect wedding film. Payment can be made via e-transfer or cheque (details available upon request). Please note, we work on a first-book-first-serve basis, and we will notify you via email if another inquiry requests your date.

Yes, there's no extra tax on top to worry about!

A highlight wedding film is a professionally edited film documenting all the highlights and special moments of your wedding day. These are the films shown on the main page of our website!

A wedding trailer is a shorter version of your wedding film that showcases the best moments of your wedding day, making it easy to share with friends and on social media. Many couples choose to share the trailer while reserving the full wedding film for family.

A Full Ceremony Video is a separate, uncut video of your wedding ceremony. This is separate from your Wedding Highlight Film (so yes, if it is included in your package, you will receive more than one film!) The video is edited to have high-quality audio, angle switches, and colouring.

A full speeches video is a separate uncut video of your speeches. This is separate from your Wedding Highlight Film (so yes, if it is included in your package, you will receive more than one film!) The video is edited to have high-quality audio, angle switches, and colouring.

Yes! This is to ensure that we can get as many different angles and footage as possible. Many couples request is the “getting ready” of each spouse—this can only happen if there are two of us!

Yes! Just let us know and we can adjust your package.

Yes! Just contact us anytime before the wedding date and we can upgrade your package.

No, meals are entirely optional. Please inform us in advance if you plan to provide meals.

The Pre-Production Consultation is an opportunity for you to chat with your videographer about arrival times, scheduling, and locations. You choose when your coverage starts and we will work around that accordingly!

We keep in close contact with you and your important contacts to adjust to changes in timing throughout the day!

We have several different sources of audio to make sure we always capture the best quality. We connect directly to the sound systems of microphones, soundboards and we have many sources of back-up audio to ensure we don’t miss anything! We also attach lav mics to the collar of clothing. These will be worn discreetly as possible during the ceremony and speeches.

No, it is absolutely optional! We understand that mics might get in the way of styling and personal comfort, and we will always ask you beforehand.

We have many backup videographers and talented connections within the wedding community. Don’t worry!

Yes times a thousand, we love photographers!! We often leave the directing/leading up to the photographers, and you may find us alongside them throughout the day.

Yes! Classic, documentary, vintage, you name it—you will get to discuss all of this in a chat with your videographer prior to the wedding. This virtual meeting usually takes place 30-60 days before your wedding date, but you can request to have it done earlier if you already know what you’re looking for!

Yes! During our pre-production consultation, you will have access to a form where you can upload inspiration for your wedding film. It can be in any form—videos you’ve seen, photos you like, songs, etc. We love when you have ideas to bring to us!

The editing process actually starts before we film! About a month or two before the wedding, we have a pre-production consultation with you about everything you want to see in the final edit of your wedding film. This could be events from the day, the style you're looking for, the music you want in your film, etc. Post-wedding, we edit your film according to your wants and then send you a first draft. The first draft gives you a chance to see your film for the first time and request any changes you would like to make. You are then sent another draft where you can request further changes. After that, your final, perfect wedding film is sent!

Yes, of course! We have a pre-production consultation where you go over everything you want in the final edit, including the music. You could name a few songs that you really love, or send us a playlist, or recommend a genre—bonus points if you can think of few romantic songs and a few “dancy” songs to get some variety. Show us whatever songs are most important to you and your story!

Yes, this is crucial to what we offer! We always offer opportunities to make revisions!

Whether it’s the first draft or the final film, we will always send you with a download link via email.
