Frequently Asked Questions

We know choosing a wedding videographer comes with a lot of questions. And we’re happy to answer every single one.

Do you charge extra for multiple locations the day of the wedding (e.g. different prep, ceremony and/or reception venues)?

In short, no. We understand most wedding days include multiple locations. We don’t limit how many places we’ll film, but travel time between them does count toward the total hours you book us for.

Do you film at churches?

Yes, absolutely! We know many churches have specific guidelines about where cameras can be placed, and we’re always happy to follow their rules. We’ll ask for a contact at the church so we can coordinate ahead of time about camera setup, audio access, and other details so everything goes smoothly on your big day.

We don’t know how many hours we’ll need, can we still book the date?

Absolutely! To lock in your wedding date, all we need is a signed agreement and a $300 non-refundable deposit. You don’t have to know your exact hours yet — you can finalize that up to two weeks before your wedding, when the remaining balance is due.

What’s the best way to decide how many hours of coverage we need?

We know figuring out coverage can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in! We’ll walk through your timeline and wish list with you, then help you choose the perfect amount of coverage so you get everything you want - without paying for time you don’t need.

Do you charge for travel?

We’re based in the Northern Kentucky / Cincinnati region. Weddings within a three-hour drive have no travel fee. For events beyond that, there may be a small charge to cover mileage and travel time. We’re road warriors at heart and happy to go anywhere within the continental U.S.

Do you also provide photography?

No - and that’s by design. Photography and videography require different approaches, and we want to give our full attention to capturing your day on video. We have some great photographers we can recommend if you’re still looking for one!

Please know that we go out of our way to work well with photographers on your wedding day. We don’t see them as competition — we see them as teammates who share the same goal: making sure your day is captured beautifully. If your photographer has any concerns about working alongside a videographer, we’re always happy to connect with them in advance to make sure everyone’s on the same page. That way, you’ll get the very best results from both of us.

How many videographers will be on-site for our wedding day?

Maurice will always be your lead videographer. Depending on your timeline and locations, Carrie may join as a second shooter to capture prep, decor, and extra details. We also set up multiple 4K cameras for different angles, but we’re careful to stay unobtrusive. Our goal is to capture your day naturally, not become part of it.

Will you be the ones editing our films, or do you use an outside editor?

Every edit you see, from the highlight to the full feature, is done by us personally. We believe the best edits come from the people who were actually there, hearing the laughter, feeling the energy, and knowing what moments truly mattered. We don’t use templates or outsource editing. Each film is hand-crafted to reflect your day, just as it happened.

What will be included in our highlight video?

Your highlight video is a 5–10 minute film that tells the story of your day in a beautifully condensed way. It will include a mix of visuals and audio — vows, speeches, cheering, clapping — set to a song that fits your day perfectly. We save plenty of special moments for your full feature film, so you’ll have both short and complete versions to enjoy.

What will be included in our full feature video?

Your full feature video includes your complete ceremony (from processional to recessional) and all key reception events such as introductions, speeches, cake-cutting, and first dances. You’ll also see extended highlight sections from prep, first look, cocktail hour, and open dancing. The average length is about 90 minutes, though it varies depending on your day (especially your ceremony). Everything is shown in chronological order — complete, but still watchable.

How do you select music for our videos?

We choose music that fits your day — emotionally, lyrically, and energetically. While some songs can’t be used due to copyright, we carefully select ones that reflect your “musical footprint” — the style and feeling of your wedding day. The right song ties every moment together, helping you feel your day all over again. Many couples tell us the song we chose becomes their new “our song.”

Is there a deposit fee?

To secure your date, a non-refundable deposit of $300 (applied toward your total balance) is due along with a signed agreement. The remaining balance is due two weeks (14 days) before your wedding day. You’re welcome to make additional payments toward the balance at any time before it’s due.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

If you need to reschedule, we’ll do our best to accommodate your new date at no extra charge. If we’re unavailable for the new date, we’ll refund any payments you’ve made minus the $300 non-refundable deposit within 7–10 business days. If you need to cancel completely, it’s the same refund policy.

Why is the deposit non-refundable?

A non-refundable deposit is standard in the wedding industry. Once we reserve your date, we turn away other couples who inquire about that same day. If you cancel or reschedule for a date we can’t take, we lose the opportunity to book another event. The deposit helps cover that loss and ensures we can keep our pricing fair for all couples.

Do you have a contract or agreement?

Yes. To secure your date, we ask for a signed agreement and deposit. This confirms that your day is fully yours; we only film one wedding per day, so if you need us earlier or later than planned, it’s never an issue.

Do you use all of the audio you capture during the day?

We’re always recording, since we never know when something meaningful will be said. But don’t worry, we’ll only use audio that adds to your story. You’ll hear heartfelt moments from your vows, prep, and speeches, not random or off-topic chatter.

What cameras do you use? Do you shoot in high-definition or 4K?

We primarily use two Sony FDR-AX700 cameras, along with extra cameras depending on the venue or space (GoPro 12, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and iPhone 17 Pro). We film everything in 4K for maximum quality. We don’t set up additional lighting, since we never want to interfere with your photographer’s setup or the natural lighting you’ve chosen for your day.

How do you capture audio? Will you put microphones on the couple?

We capture audio in several ways to make sure your vows, speeches, and special moments sound clear. We use small shotgun microphones attached to our Sony cameras during prep, first looks, ceremonies, and receptions. We also use a Zoom H5 audio recorder, usually connected to the DJ’s or venue’s sound system. We also utilize a discreet Bluetooth lapel microphone for the ceremony (that can also clip to a collar, pocket, suspenders, etc.). Our microphones are for recording only and are not used to project sound through speakers during your event.

Will you provide all the raw footage you captured?

We totally understand why couples ask this. There’s a lot of advice online saying you should get your raw footage. In some cases, that makes sense. Many videographers only deliver a short highlight film, which means a lot of great moments never make the final cut.

That’s not how we work. Our full-feature videos are complete, story-driven films that include everything worth watching: Your full ceremony, key reception events, and all the good stuff in between. You’re not missing out on any meaningful footage.

Raw files themselves aren’t really “watchable.” They come from multiple cameras and audio recorders, out of sync and unedited. There’s no color correction, no sound mixing, just hours of disconnected clips that would take professional software (and a lot of patience) to view properly.

We’d rather give you something you can actually enjoy for years to come: polished, complete videos that tell the whole story of your day, beautifully edited and easy to relive.
