Do you travel? Yes! Getting married outside of Chicagoland, somewhere warm, or in an international destination? We are available for worldwide travel! All of our travel packages include a flat rate travel fee, which covers all costs incurred during travel for our crew. We take care of all the travel arrangements, so you don’t have to worry. Please contact us for pricing and availability.

How can I reserve your services for my wedding date? Once you’re ready to reserve your date, please let us know as soon as possible. We ask for a 50% retainer fee and a signed contract. The remaining 50% is due 7 days prior to your wedding.

When should I have you arrive to cover my wedding day? We like to arrive when the bride is getting her makeup done. That gives us a good starting point for the storyline in your trailer and wedding film. However, each wedding timeline is unique. Talk with us about your day and we can discuss when we should arrive to best capture your day.

I have a several hour gap between my ceremony and reception. Can I break up the coverage hours during my day? Because we are unable to take any other commissions for your day, coverage begins when you would like us to arrive and ends when we leave for the day. Although there may be a gap in your wedding day timeline for guests, we usually find that we’re busy either covering a photo session, driving from one place to the next, or capturing detail shots of your reception venue.

Why are all your wedding films so short? My parent’s wedding video is 2 hours long! Gone are the days of the long, boring wedding video. We cut out the long and cut out the boring and have created a short form wedding film. We will take the most interesting parts of your day and weave them into a cinematic storyline that you will be proud to share with family and friends. For more on our cinematic style, please visit our blog post.

How many cameras should I have? We often get asked, “How many video cameras should I have at my wedding”? The answer to that depends on a lot of factors; size of venue, number of guests, lighting conditions, budget, layout of ceremony, timeline, and distance between locations. One camera can only capture so many things at the same time. Also, if the Bride and Groom are getting ready at exactly the same time, only one camera can capture either the Bride or the Groom prep.

Multiple cameras allow for ultimate flexability and the ability to capture action/reaction shots. For example, if you have just one camera at the reception, it might only allow us to capture the speaker, not the people laughing at the jokes or crying at the emotional stories.

Here is an example of what the vows could look like from three different camera angles:


1.) Center shot with the Minister, Bride, and Groom 2.) Tight shot of the Bride's face 3.) Shot of the Groom's face

If you take away a camera, each angle will also be eliminated. Each wedding is unique, so it's important to discuss with us your vision. We'd be happy to talk about different options that will showcase your special day.

What video clips are included in the DVD extras? We usually include the vows, reception speeches, and some of the first dances in their entirety. These parts will appear as a DVD extra (or bonus feature) in your DVD menu. Please talk with us before your wedding about what you would like included as a DVD extra.
