THE Experience OF
YOUR STORY IS WORTH BEING TOLD INTENTIONALLY. WE’LL DOCUMENT EVERY EMOTION WITHIN EVERY MOMENT TO FORM A STORY-DRIVEN FILM THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME —
The experience you have with your videographer is just as important as the films you receive. My goal is make it a memorable one.
I want the experience you have to be genuine, comfortable, and honest. I can’t stress how important it is to find a photographer and videographer that you are entirely comfortable around. It makes documenting moments easy and being your true selves even easier. The experience you have with your videographer is just as important as the films you receive.
THE EXPERIENCE
With every detail of your film, I put every ounce of effort into being intentional. I believe that every single frame, second, and minute deserves it. My intent is for you two to feel seen and heard through these films. With every edit and frame selection, I’ll put your story first. I want to be just as intentional about your journey as you two have been about one another.
STORY AND MOMENTS
This is an investment into not only the trust to document your day, but also the detailed preparation, 100+ hours of editing, timeless color grading, and meticulous music selection. In short, it’s an investment to deliver an everlasting experience that you and your family will forever cherish and celebrate. These are films that you will share with the future you build.
AN INVESTMENT
As your videographer, I want to leave you with a timeless collection of films that you will be able to cherish for the rest of your life. Every step I take from prepping, to shooting, to editing will be meticilously crafted.
This won't be one of those awkward vendor-to-client relationships where we don’t connect. I’m here to capture the real moments and that also means having a real relationship. We will meet multiple times ahead of the big day to make sure we have everything we need to deliver you a gallery of work that will last. Imagine a film that your kids will show their kids and so forth!
I don't want to be just a vendor at your wedding, I want you to be yourself around me. You deserve someone who you trust to deliver and can be comfortable with. Even before the wedding day, I want to help out in any way that I can, my goal is to make this whole process as easy as possible. As your videographer, I am here to serve you and will always be on your team.

Music is one of the most important things when it comes to forming your films to build on your story. I want to make sure you have songs that you enjoy and find relatable to your story. Feel free to share with me a few of your favorites songs, artists, etc. Although I do have to license my music, we can find something of the same vibe. For all my music, I license it through Musicbed.com. The process of finding a song can take days because it is important that we have a strong foundation to build on.
I know every couple is excited to relive those big and small moments from their special day. Living in a world where we can have everything at the tips of our fingers, thanks to companies like Amazon, we want things fast. I totally get it. With that said, your wedding films are something that I don’t want to rush because I want to put in all my effort into every single detail to ensure that your films are timeless, authentic, and a reflection of your story. I don’t have a cookie-cutter way of editing because no two couples are the same. For that reason, films are expected to be delivered within 6 months, which is also the industry standard for bespoke videographers.
I believe that everyone is on the same team and that we are there to serve you. There’s no need for either the photographer or videographer to feel superior to the other person. We’re here to create, document, and serve you two on your most important day. I always make an effort to reach out to the photographer before the big day. Communication is key when working together on a wedding and I want to make sure that they feel comfortable around me to let me know if they need specific shots and vice-versa.
Typically, I collect a $500 deposit and split the rest of your collection into three even payments. If you are in WA or the films are being delivered to you in WA, there will be a sales tax applied to your invoice. If have an out of state billing address, no sales tax will be applied. Payment plans that have different percentage splits are also available if needed. We can discuss this once the contract is signed.

Video is a great way to not only re-watch and relive your wedding day but to share it with both those who couldn't make it and your future children. Remind your fiance that once you make the decision not to film it, you’ll never be able to go back and change your mind. I always say that besides your wedding dress and maybe some small momentos, video is the only possible way to relive one of the most important days of your life. You won’t regret it.
Besides the highlight film, you also receive a gallery of secondary films that pertain to specific parts of the day. This means you would receive a film for your ceremony, vows, first look, dances, speeches, and if you are personalizing your big day we can also include other films as well.
The highlight film is 6-8 minutes long because we have found that to be the sweet spot for every story to be told in a way that isn’t drawn out but engages people to dive into your unique story. The additional films of the ceremony and speeches are included in your delivery so you can relive every second. The highlight film is a way to relive the full wedding experience in a fun, engaging, and memorable way. I also offer a longer edit of the film as an a la carte item. This is a documentary styled edit which will include every shot from the wedding day. It will be consolidated into a single timeline for your viewing. This will also include the ceremony and speeches. It will be color graded and lightly edited.
Of course! I love being able to include past footage that you’ve recorded! Even if it’s on an iPhone or old camera, send it all. This is a great way of making your story that much more unique to who you two truly are. This doesn’t have an extra cost either! You can upload it an online cloud/drive platform or you can send me a USB drive of all the footage.
