We know you’ve got questions — and we love answering them. This page walks you through the most common things couples ask about our wedding films
I know that a wedding is a big investment that will cost you time and money, so you will have to make some important decisions.
But consider this: How much do remember of a birthday happening 15 years ago? We often think we will remember every detail, more than we actually do. So more than anything, video is there to help you remember a day that has incredible importance to you.
While a photograph reminds you of how the day looked; video let's you hear how it sounded, see how it moved, and feel how it unfolded. Through your wedding film, you will be able to see your guests’ reactions, see your reaction as you're walking down the aisle, and many more details which otherwise you wouldn’t be able to perceive in your busy day as the bride and groom.
Even though photography is extremely important, it will never replace a high-quality wedding film. Skipping on a videographer is like framing the cover of your favorite book but never reading its pages. Years from now, when the details start to blur, you’ll be able to press play and be instantly transported back to those moments. You’ll see the smiles, hear the laughter, and feel it all over again.
In essence, those are two very different treasures you will never regret having.
The first thing I like to ask couples is, “What’s most important to you?” Are there specific moments you can’t imagine not capturing—like your vows, the toasts, or those behind-the-scenes moments with your bridal party? That helps us figure out how much coverage you’ll need.
If you’re unsure, I can guide you. I’ll look at your wedding timeline, your venue, and what matters most to you, and then recommend the best package to fit your day. Some couples love having a short highlight film to relive the biggest moments, while others want a full-length film with every toast, dance, and heartfelt moment included.
No matter your vision, my goal is to give you something that truly feels like you. I’m here to answer any questions, offer advice, and make sure you get a film that you’ll cherish forever. You don’t have to have it all figured out—I’ll walk you through every step.

Our approach is all about helping you stay present and capturing your day as it naturally unfolds.
We know weddings can be a whirlwind—everyone’s coming to you with questions, things are moving fast, and it can feel like a lot. That’s why we take a candid, relaxed approach, letting the moments happen organically while being there to gently guide you when needed.
For example, we might suggest stealing a quiet moment just for the two of you or giving a little direction to help you feel at ease during key parts of the day. Ultimately, our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, calm, and fully able to soak in the magic of your wedding.
As one of our couples put it, “You really added that special personal touch, and Jade especially loved your soft and comforting approach that sucked the stress out of the room.” That’s the kind of experience we aim to create for all of our couples.
