FAQ's
Where are you based?
I'm based out of Zanesville, OH!
Why do you shoot UP TO 8 hours? Why not do 4 or 6 hour shoots?
From my wedding experience, 8 hours is the amount of time that makes the best film. I like to give couples a fair amount of leeway so I can capture getting ready all the way to a grand exit. However, I shoot "Up to" 8 hours because sometimes all the wedding festivities conclude earlier than expected, which gives me some extra time to pack up and roll out!
Do you offer wedding related services NOT related to a film?
In the past I've had people approach me with customized package or addon ideas. One bridesmaid wanted me to compile camcorder footage of her wedding, I've put together engagement slideshows, and I've pieced together IPhone footage from guest phones at a wedding. If you're curious about something, don't be afraid to ask!
Are you willing to travel?
Yes, but not super far! My distance limit for weddings is within 2 hours of the Zanesville area. However, I am absolutely open to destination wedding travel if compensated!
How long have you been shooting weddings?
I shot my first wedding in June 2023! I've been making videos and films for 6+ years as a personal hobby too, so I've been translating that experience to doing wedding video.
Will you be recording vows? Speeches? If so, how?
For the ceremony, I put a discrete little microphone on the officiant and sometimes the groom as a backup. The DJ, if you have one, may also provide me with a sound feed as a backup backup! Mic'ing the bride is just too much trouble. Gentleman's clothes work better. For toasts, the DJ also has a sound feed that I can tap into as well. The sound captured from all my devices are included in the "Raw Footage" addon.
When can I expect my video?
I'd expect, on average, delivery in 3-4 weeks. Though the time heavily depends on how busy I am during the season!
