FAQ

Why should we get video on our wedding day?

With video, you preserve memories of relatives, family and friends in a real-life and moving way that photographs alone cannot reproduce. Many couples who don’t get video say this is the main thing they regret not doing for their wedding!

How does booking work?

I offer an initial, free 30-minute consult by phone or video. If you decide to proceed we’ll sign a contract and you’ll place a 25% deposit to reserve the date, after which your wedding is locked in. The remaining balance is due usually two weeks before the day-of.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! Payment can be flexible as long as a plan is agreed on in advance. The 25% deposit is required to lock in your date, however after that there are a few options with regard to payment. Typically I am open to monthly installments completed by the wedding date.

When can we expect our films?

Each wedding video package may vary in turnaround time, but generally I aim to complete your teaser video in 2-3 weeks and the rest of your films within 2-3 months.

Can we choose our own music?

For the highlight reel, we usually draw 1-2 songs from high-quality royalty-free stock music libraries. We base these choices off the vibe of your wedding, what seems to work with the footage, and to match our aesthetic standards. You are welcome to make requests, or to browse our stock library and share choices. Your social clip is delivered without audio so you can set it to whatever audio you want when uploading!

Do you travel?

Yes! My work has taken me around the world, to film TV segments in Colombia, Portugal, France, Austria and Japan. I would love to travel to film a wedding, so I am willing to work with you on a special deal if you want to have your wedding abroad filmed.

Can I add-on raw footage/How do I get raw footage?

I can offer raw footage for a fee, which varies depending on how you want it (straight-from-camera, vs. curated into long sequences or reels). It is not included unless otherwise noted in your package.

What value does drone footage add?

Drone footage adds a sense of location, and an epic feeling that captures your wedding venue like nothing else can. Keep in mind that drone flight is subject to weather, interference and occasional flight restrictions. That said, most of the time drone flights are successful!

Are there travel fees?

For weddings in the Seattle or Portland area within 25 miles, no travel fee applies. Beyond that range a travel fee (varies) may apply to cover gas/car expense. Ferries, flights, trains or rentals to access the venue(s) will be billed in full.

Do you work alone or with others?

On the day of your wedding, Eric, your videographer, may either arrive by himself or with a 2nd (or even 3rd) videographer, according to prior arrangement.

Can I request a revision?

I offer up to one free revision—this could be removing one or two shots for example, or adding something in you were hoping to see. This does not cover a “major” revision, like overhauling a large amount of the the highlight reel.
