What's my cost?

Every couple and package is different depending on what is important to you. Each video is custom to you and your personality. I use top-of-the-line equipment to make sure the quality and content of your film is worth returning to time and time again. It takes approximately 5 to 6 hours of meticulous editing for every 1 minute of video I put out. My base price for video starts at $3500 and I offer free consultations to talk about your vision to see if we would make a great match! Feel free to contact me by using the link below!

How many hours do you cover?

Base coverage starts at 5 hours and increases to all day coverage. During our consultation we can determine what level of coverage best suits your needs.

What Are My Most Common Add-Ons?

My most common Add-On is hiring a second videographer. Time travel hasn't been invented yet, so I can't be everywhere at once. This adds so much more value to your film by allowing me to capture extra angles and pay more attention to details. My second videographer is able to pay closer attention to audience reaction as well as capturing the lifetime expression on the groom's face as he sees his bride coming down that isle.
My other most popular Add-Ons are Pre-Wedding Video and Drone Videography. Why? Because getting to say those words out loud is almost as epic as the result itself. Each and every addition complements each other, supplementing the priceless moments captured in this once-in-a-lifetime time capsule. It's my absolute joy to document these moments for you to reminisce together for many years to come.

Where am I based?

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. However, 90% of what I film is out of state. If outside Pennsylvania, the additional cost for travel is included in the final invoice of your wedding package.

What Can't I Offer?

Raw footage of event: I capture on average 100-200 gigabytes worth of footage on wedding day and have it backed up as fast as possible when I get back to my office. I used to offer downloads, but this became time consuming and couples told me they never looked through the footage in the end. In other words, all my clients are satisfied with watching the edited versions of my work rather than the unedited.

Copyright music: Copyright claims on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube make it hard to publish my work, so I stay away from such music as much as possible. Instead, I use music licensing sites such as Musicbed.com, Audiio.com, and Epidemic Sound which allow me to license music in my videos to use on social media.

Dance: Unfortunately, I do not dance. At least not in public.


WHAT DO I OFFER?

Highlight Reel: 3-5 minute cinematic highlight reel of the day's events. Choice of music from selections at Musicbed.com, Audiio.com, Epidemic Sound, or other music licensing sites. Length of film depends on the length of song selection(s). Edited in 4K.

Free Consultation: Video call 2-3 months before wedding day to go over or help plan your schedule so that everything runs smoothly. One of the key reasons why my videos are successful: lots and lots of careful planning. I offer a free schedule template to help you plan your day from beginning to end.


OPTIONAL ADD-ONS TO YOUR WEDDING PACKAGE

Feature Film: Longer length video that covers 20-30 minutes of ceremony and reception (toasts/speeches, etc).

Pre-Wedding Video: Romantic and cinematic 2-3 minute video captured at least 3 months before wedding day during a day of your choosing. Use this to show off on your personal wedding website, or to view during your reception. Families from both sides may not know your significant other yet, so this gives you the opportunity to show off the love you have for each to everyone else before your special day.

Wedding Photography: I have trusted photographers based in Florida and Maryland (and growing) that I've contracted in the past to offer wedding bundles that include both video and photo. If you prefer me to take your photos instead of video, I too am a wedding photographer. Be sure to also ask about wedding slideshows!

Time Lapse: Multiple time lapses to showcase the venue and significant landmarks where your wedding takes place. Featured during highlight reel.

Drone: Aerials of ceremony & reception locations.


Video Equipment

Sony a7 IV Mirrorless Camera: Main camera used to capture gorgeous videos and slow motion moments during your wedding day.

Nikon D750: My secondary camera on tripod to capture extra ceremony footage when I'm shooting solo during a wedding.
