FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
How do you film on the wedding day?
We focus on real moments and natural storytelling. Our team stays behind the scenes, capturing the energy and emotions of your day. The result is a warm, cinematic wedding film filled with sincerity, spontaneity, and honest beauty — one you’ll love watching again
Super 8 or Digital — What’s the difference?
Super 8 feels vintage and nostalgic, like an old home movie with warm tones and texture. Digital is crisp, clean, and modern, with dynamic editing and vibrant color. Many couples mix both to blend timeless charm with a fresh cinematic touch. It's the best of both worlds.
How many photos and videos will we receive — and why does it vary?
Every wedding is different, and so is the final gallery. On average, we deliver several hundred edited photos and a cinematic highlight film, plus optional extended edits. The number depends on the schedule, lighting, and size of your event — we focus on quality and emotion over quantity, making sure every frame tells part of your story.
Do you travel for weddings outside New York?
Absolutely. Though we’re based in New York City, we travel anywhere your story takes us — across the U.S. or abroad. Travel details are discussed individually, but we handle logistics with care to keep everything seamless.
Can we customize our wedding package?
Of course! Our base packages start at $2,000 for either photo or video. From there, you can add hours, Super 8, or tailored edits. We work closely with every couple to match the energy, budget, and style of the day. Your film will feel like you — genuine and unforgettable.
How far ahead should we book your team?
Most couples book 3–12 months in advance. Popular dates fill up quickly, especially in spring and fall. If your date is coming soon, reach out anyway — we’ll do our best to make it happen. The earlier you book, the smoother and more stress-free the planning will be.
When will we receive our photos and video?
You’ll receive a preview shortly after the wedding, with full delivery in about 6–8 weeks. Editing takes time — every photo is hand-graded, every film is edited with care, so your memories feel as vivid as the day itself.
Do you photograph family and group portraits during the wedding day?
Yes, always. While we focus on candid and documentary coverage, we make time for essential family portraits and group shots — calm, organized, and beautifully lit. These moments become timeless parts of your story.
Do we get to pick the music for film
We choose licensed music that fits your vibe and story. If you share favorite genres or moods, we’ll suggest soundtracks that match. Our goal is to craft a rhythm that elevates the film without distracting from the visuals. It’s all about feeling, not just sound
Do you film destination weddings as well?
Yes, we travel worldwide for weddings! Whether it’s a mountaintop elopement or a beach ceremony abroad, we’ll bring our cinematic eye to your location. We love discovering new places and telling love stories in unforgettable settings. Wherever you go, we’ll be there.
Can we request changes or a re-edit of our wedding video?
Yes. If you’d like adjustments to pacing, music, or specific moments, we’re happy to review them together. We want your film to feel right — emotionally and artistically — while staying true to our visual style.
Do travel times affect your coverage or rates?
Travel time is already factored into each package we offer within New York City. For destinations outside the city, travel costs and timing are discussed in advance to ensure smooth coordination and full coverage of your day.
