FAQ

  • Most packages include a set number of hours, at least one wedding videographer, professional audio for vows and speeches, and one or more edited films, Usually a highlight video that brings your wedding day back with a final product that feels beautifully captured. In the wedding industry, a clean edit and strong audio are what separate an amazing job from a forgettable one, especially in Southern California where timelines move fast. Raw footage is available as an add on if you want every angle delivered alongside the finished films.

  • We use fully licensed music that fits the mood and pacing of your day. Before editing wedding films, we talk about the vibe you love — cinematic, indie, modern, classic — and choose tracks that support the story rather than compete with it. Because of licensing rules, we usually can't use mainstream chart songs, but we can find music that feels just as emotional and timeless for your wedding video.

  • By default, our wedding videography packages include finished, color graded films in high resolution, crafted to feel like a movie you will want to watch again and again. In the film industry, the final polish is what turns a wedding day into stunning memories. If you want raw footage as an add on, we can include it as a separate paid option with clear terms, so you can create your own extra cuts from your special day if you ever want to.

  • We record to dual cards whenever possible and back up your footage to multiple drives after the wedding. Professional videographers should never rely on a single copy — losing footage is extremely rare when proper backups and workflows are in place, but couples still ask about it for a reason. We explain our backup process in the contract so you know how your films are protected.

  • As a marriage videographer, we build contingency plans into our process. In the unlikely event of illness or emergency, we work with a network of trusted who can step in. You're hiring not just one person, but a system — including backup gear, backup media, and backup humans. All of this is outlined in your agreement so expectations are clear.

  • Turnaround times vary by season, but we'll give you a clear delivery window in the contract — typically several weeks to a few months for fully edited films. We prioritize quality over rushing, while still communicating along the way so you're never wondering where things stand. Modest revisions are usually included; bigger structural changes can be added if you decide you want a different type of edit after seeing your video
