Exactly what you're paying for...
The Remember with PHOTO, Rewatch with VIDEO & Relive with BOTH packages were designed to do two things.
#1: Eliminate decision making.
You don't need to figure out how long you'll need coverage for. I'm there as early and late as you need. You don't need to think about what video edits you may want to rewatch. I've included everything for you.
#2: Eliminate the possibility of regrets.
"I wish I had more family pictures."
"I wish I had gone with all day coverage."
"I wish I had footage of my Grandparents."
You won't be saying any of these things. We'll have two meetings to make sure we discuss everything that needs to be captured throughout the day. Best Wishes Interviews with parents & grandparents. Shots of every little detail. A recreation of a shot you saw on Pinterest. You let me know, and I'll get it done.
What will you be saying instead? Here's some messages I've gotten from couples after the Wedding:
"I never thought I'd watch the all footage edit, but afterwards I wanted to rewatch ALL of it. I've watched it at least 20 times in the past 6 months."
"I watch it at least once a week and the fact that we have the raw footage makes everything feel real"
"Every time I get mad at him, I rewatch the One Minute Highlight and I'm over it."
...That last one is my favorite. 😂
Wedding Photography and Videography is my full time job. I don't do this on the side or as a hobby. Capturing and delivering your day is my #1 priority.
ON CALL
You can text, call or email me anytime. Ask me what Vendors I recommend. Ask me what songs to use for Entrances and First Dances. Ask me what Wedding Games are best. Ask me for help setting up your timeline! I...love...weddings. If I can help with something, I will! If I can't answer on the spot...I'll get back to you ASAP
Every Wedding needs an Engagement Shoot. You can use these photos for Save the Dates, Invitations and Decorations!
(My wife used our Engagement photos to print a Canvas that everyone could sign at our Wedding. I highly recommend you do this!)
We will meet twice before your Wedding, using Zoom, FaceTime or Google Meetings. (We can even use Facebook Video Calls if that's easier.)
Our first call will be before you book. We'll chat, make sure we're a good fit, and discuss how I'll capture your day.
Our second call will take place 1 to 2 weeks ahead of your Wedding Day. This meeting will be to review your final timeline, making sure I know where to point my cameras at each moment of the day.
Travel is expensive. The current IRS Mileage Rate is 65.5 cents per mile. If your wedding is up to 60 miles away from me...no problem! I include 120 miles of travel in every package.
There's no need to worry about when I'll start, or when I'll finish. No worrying about how to fit getting ready shots in while still getting your last dance or sendoff.
I'll be there all day!
This is really the bare bones minimum amount of time it takes to edit a wedding. I've gotten it done in as little as 24 working hours. But it usually takes 40-80 working hours. I don't use AI. I cull the photos myself. I check, edit, and recheck every single photo--myself.
I've worked very hard to find a group of people I can rely on to assist me on a wedding day. I run multiple cameras, with additional gear that often needs to be set up, torn down and moved around very quickly. An assistant/second shooter assures that everything runs smoothly.
I bring a lot of gear that has cost me a lot of money. Cameras, lenses, lights, audio recorders, etcetera. But more importantly than the gear, is the fact that I've made it my full time job to master this equipment. I know how to use it all to capture your day as beautifully and effectively as possible.
Shoot time. (We almost always have fun and shoot for longer than scheduled!)
At least one hour of culling.
4 hours to edit, retouch and airbrush your photos!
