The truth is, weddings are expensive. Even the smallest, most minimalistic of weddings can dry up your budget fast. Because of this, video is often the first to be cut from the list. It's true, video isn't anecessity. But I promise you, it will be one of your most valued investments in 10, 25, and hopefully 50 years!
Most other wedding videography packages start at $3k and go up. (And it's not a rip off....there is actually that much work involved). But I'm not your typical wedding videographer. Most often, I am a single shooter. My goal is to offer couples simple wedding packages for simple budgets. If you're looking for 4k footage and a feature film length video, I'm probably not your gal.
But I am a little (ok... a lot) better than your Uncle Tom who offers to film your wedding on his iPad sitting on a music stand. I will deliver stunning HD video of only your most important moments on likely one of the most important days of your life - the ultimate keepsake.
All files will be delivered within 8 weeks of event. Prices reflect locations in central Ohio, or 30 miles from Galena, Ohio. Travel outside of central Ohio is subject to a mileage fee. Additional on-site hours available upon request at the rate of $70 / hour.
My important events are going to span outside of the 4 or 8 hour range. Can I add hours? Absolutely! Add-on hours are available for $70/hour. This is useful if you have a large wedding party, plan on doing multiple first looks, a private vow exchange, or a big formal exit etc.
Do You Offer Raw Footage? “Raw footage” is used variably in our industry, and can be confusing to clients. I do not offer any “raw footage" and, trust me when I say you don’t want it. “Raw footage” is un-color corrected, unedited, and obnoxiously large in file size. If by “raw footage” you mean: “uninterrupted full coverage of an event” then yes. Both packages offer full coverage of the ceremony, speeches, and special dances. However these events are lightly edited to include a title screen, color correction and multiple camera angles.
Neither package includes a complete full video of the following:
Private Vow Exchange
First Looks
Bridal Party & Bride & Groom Exit
Cake Cutting
Formal Exit i.e: Sparkler Exit
If you are selecting the Gold package, there is a very good chance that highlights of these moments will make it into your highlight film. When you hire me, you are trusting me as the artist to determine which moments are highlight worthy, and how to weave them all together in a story that truly captures the magic of the day.
If you decide a complete full video of a moment outside of the already specified deliverables IS important to you, we can arrange a customized “add-on” to your package.
Do you do color correction? TLDR: sort of. While I do not shoot in “raw”,I do perform minor color correction to your footage.
Do I get to choose my own video music? No. Both packages include a custom licensed music bed for your video. I utilize a professional music site to license these tracks. However, top 40 tracks are most often not available for licensing. Once again, when you hire me, you are trusting me as an Artist to make a creative decision on the music that best compliments your footage.
What gear do you use? I primarily shoot with (2) Sony A7SIII cameras. I also may utilize the following equipment during your day:
