Wedding Photography & Video FAQs

Answers to the questions couples ask us most, from booking and coverage hours to delivery times, drone footage and music for your wedding film.

Booking & Planning

  • What is the process of hiring you for our wedding?

    We are thrilled you are considering us for your big day! A signed contract and a nonrefundable retainer reserve your date. Inquiries alone do not hold a date, and our availability changes often. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding.

  • Can we book you for just a few hours?

    Saturday and Sunday weddings have a 5 hour minimum. For intimate weekday weddings that need less coverage, we are happy to create a custom quote. Packages cannot be split across multiple days. We also film rehearsal dinners, a wonderful chance to capture heartfelt toasts.

  • Do you charge for travel?

    We love to travel! Weddings outside of Tampa include a small travel fee, and each one is quoted individually based on the location.

  • Will you help us create a wedding day timeline?

    Yes. Because the timeline shapes our workflow, we help every couple build one, whether or not you have a wedding planner, and we work closely with your planner every step of the way.

  • Should we do a first look?

    A first look saves time and gives the two of you a private, intimate moment before the ceremony. We love filming first looks, and they are often one of the most emotional highlights of the day.

Wedding Photography

  • What is your editing style?

    Natural and timeless, though we always edit to your preference. We shoot in RAW, which lets us edit in different styles, from light and airy to dark and moody.

  • How many photos will we receive?

    There is no limit on the number of photos we deliver. On average, couples receive about 100 photos per hour of coverage.

  • When will we receive our wedding photos?

    Your edited wedding photos are delivered in an online gallery within 4 weeks of your wedding date.

Wedding Films

  • Do we get a preview of our wedding film?

    Yes. Our cinematography collections include a 60 second teaser delivered within 2 weeks of your wedding, so you can share it while your full film is being edited.

  • When should filming start on the wedding day?

    We recommend starting at least an hour before you get dressed, so we can capture your gown, shoes, jewelry and the finishing touches on hair and makeup. The more time we have before the ceremony, the more artistic shots we can create.

  • How do you record our vows?

    We use discreet wireless microphones, one on the groom and one on the officiant. They record your audio but do not amplify it for guests, so check with your venue or entertainment about a sound system.

  • Do you use a drone?

    Yes! We love capturing venue shots by drone when time, weather and venue rules allow, at no extra charge. Drone footage cannot be guaranteed, and we never fly during the ceremony or over guests, since flying over people is prohibited by law.

  • What about music in our wedding video?

    All music in your trailer is licensed to comply with copyright law, and we cover the licensing fees. For your full length film, we will walk you through options to find the perfect soundtrack.

  • Who edits our films, and how long does it take?

    All editing is done in house and never outsourced, so quality and style stay consistent. Final films take about three months on average, and from one to five months during busy seasons. It is worth the wait!

  • Can we see more than a trailer?

    Of course! Ask us for full wedding films. Seeing complete films, not just highlight reels, is essential when choosing your videographer.

Delivery

  • How are our photos and videos delivered?

    You will receive an online photo gallery and a Vimeo or YouTube link for your films, plus a custom USB in an engraved wooden case delivered right to your home.
