Let me start off by answering a few FAQ’s about the Videography Experience.
Why do I need a video when I know I’ll cherish the photos?
Although we feel very strongly that photography is one of the most important parts of your wedding day + your cherished memories for years to come, videography can give you something totally different than what photos can capture! Honestly, it all comes down to preference!! One of the things I hear most is “there’s no way I’ll watch that more than a few times and probably just on our anniversary the first year”. We actually have a physical book that you can watch your video whenever you want and you can have it on display, along with your photos! Plus, our videos are edited in a style that you can watch easily any time the feeling comes over you, without feeling stuck for over an hour losing your attention. I haven’t heard a single instance where someone regretted having a wedding film.
What’s your style of videography for wedding days?
We focus on true documentary coverage of your wedding day for your videography. Portions of your wedding photography experience are definitely prompted by us, but Jason uses his skills to float around throughout the wedding day to capture some really candid moments and tells your story in a fun but still emotional way. You won’t have to be “interviewed” and put on camera to talk off the top of your head, so being shy doesn’t have to deter you from having video coverage!
What’s included with the videography experience?
Like I mentioned, Jason will capture every part of the wedding day and he will produce what we call a highlight reel film with the most professional equipment, capturing your wedding video in high definition. With ideal weather and location permissions, Jason is also FAA registered which means he could bring out his drone for a few shots as well. *Please note that is timeline + weather dependent
Together, he will create your film which will be wonderful to watch anytime you want, because it’s between 5-10 minutes to upbeat music and snips of your wedding day pieced together in a fun and joyful story! Want a say so on what kind of music may be used for your video?-no problem! We want you to absolutely love every aspect your film!! We have access to over 9 thousand songs-and we do it legally!
Is there anything else we can add on the videography experience?
Absolutely, there are a few options! Some couples like the idea of being able to watch your entire wedding ceremony one day, so you are able to have that videoed with a separate set-up with professional sound that will be delivered in a separate video from the highlight film. Along with the ceremony with sound, we typically will also video the speeches with sound as well. This means there will be 2 cameras on site.
Another option is GoPro coverage which is a really fun option if you know your bridal party, family, and friends will be tearing up the dance floor. It allows a totally different perspective and some people that may shy away from our videographer may be more open to being captured if it comes from a friend!
If you really want a longer video or more moments captured (just like photo), we can add on an additional videographer to our team for the day!
The product that can be added on (I sort of mentioned above) is a video playbook, which is a physical book that you can open and it hosts your video + can play automatically with sound, basically a digital album for your wedding film! It can be controlled-so pause/play, volume changes, fast forward, etc. I’ve had a lot of great feedback so far and I personally love them! I think it’s a good way to really get the full use out of your video and not have it disappear in your computer’s hard drive over time. I guarantee you’ll watch your film more often and show guests when you’re hosting!
Alright, I’m liking what I’m hearing… so what does this highlight video look like?
We have a few options below that you can watch that I hope you love! The video will be hosted on a separate site, but can also be added to your photography gallery so everything is all in one place-super simple! The style will closely match your photography coverage everything to feel cohesive. Enjoy!!
(This film features the GoPro coverage, which is why it is longer than the other videos and is added on at the end-very funny to watch!)
(You’ll see a few examples of drone coverage in this film and more upbeat music. This video in particular had many fantastic captures for so many emotional moments-and even a first look)
(This wedding was very sweet, faith-based, and full of love which geared our choices of songs which you will see in this film)
(Another sweet example of our traditional coverage! Fun fact: we actually switched the first song in this video after requested-we want you to love your wedding film!)
