FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is your filming style?
Our style is to be as low-profile as possible. You’ll be spending the day with us but the only time we’ll really interact is during the portrait session when we’ll take a few moments together, possibly suggesting that you move you into better light, snuggle in closer or walk by a lovely background. We like the day to flow naturally so you can enjoy yourselves without thinking about us.

Who will film my wedding?
Our dedicated, experienced cinematographers have worked with us for 5+ years, so rest assured, you will be in capable hands. Before your big day, we’ll schedule a chat sessions with your lead cinematographer so that you feel comfortable with one another and so that you can specify the most important people and moments you want to captured.

What equipment do you use?
We use top of the line professional super 8 film cameras and digital cameras that are regularly serviced. We also always bring back-ups. We will use small LED lights only when absolutely necessary (typically in dark venues and on dance floors at night). For audio recording we use tiny lavalier microphones which are hardly noticeable. Our policy is to be as discreet as possible so we only use the necessary gear.

Can we give any creative input?
We ask that you trust our vision and artistic approach. But if you want to give us any specific film references to check out, share some songs that you love, and tell us if you’re looking for a more romantic or upbeat fun vibe for your film, that’s great! If you have any specific ideas you’d like us to try for you film, just let us know!

What are your travel fees?
Travel beyond driving distance may require air/train fare, hotel accommodations, car rental and basic travel expenses. Just ask and we’ll give you a quote depending on the location of your event.

What is required to save my date?
In order to hold your wedding date, we simply ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit + a signed contract (all done electronically). The remaining balance is then due 15 days before your wedding.

When will we receive our final film?
We’ve been working with the same independent film lab for 14 years. Processing time can take up to 1 month after you wedding. We take our time to perfect and polish the finished product to ensure that you are absolutely thrilled with your film. During our high season, you can expect your final film in approximately 3 months following your wedding.
