Should I inquire?You're engaged and now have lots of questions! We want to help make the process as simple as we can. You don't want to spend your entire budget on random stuff that could have gone towards a higher quality videography experience. Even simply wanting to chat with us about the necessity of videography, and then deciding after our call how you want to prioritize it will go so far for you! So please do schedule a time to chat with us by shooting over a text with your wedding date, name, and we'll confirm our availability with you and next steps.

We have family in Iowa and within 2 hours of the Minneapolis area in Minnesota we're able to stay with. If you are getting married outside of the two locations mentioned above, we will need to chat about travel and what that could look like. We would love to be in alignment with your wedding day trajectory if possible.

Am I required to feed the videographers?Yes! All of our couples love taking care of their vendors just as much as the vendors are taking care of their couples! Having food provided during the reception is a necessity for happy relationships haha.

How do you film weddings?With our videography style, we don't have to do a whole lot of planning because we shoot 99% candidly. We rely on the photographer and/or wedding planner timelines. Since we're working super closely with the photographer, they typically will have a shot list that we work around and we'll incorporate our own ideas throughout the day! We do this to not overcomplicate the planned events of the day and to also make sure our creative counterparts aren't more stressed than they might already be haha! We work extremely well alongside other wedding vendors with our style of filming. We are creating behind the scenes YouTube videos of different weddings we're at to give audible and visual context on how we work the day of. By watching our social media content on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. You'll notice that we are very laid back. We are very type B personalities which sounds bad, but this makes for an extremely easy going & relaxing time for everyone involved! Although we are very go with the flow personalities, we make sure to capture everything you're looking to have and so much more because we've filmed 135+ weddings over the last 5 years. We've filmed more weddings than most photographers we know who've been in the industry over 10 years. It's practically in our DNA to know where and when to be before moments even happen.

What about picking music for my highlight video?Due to lawsuits and strict commercial copyright laws, music for your wedding highlight video must be chosen from the music licensing websites that we are subscribed to. These websites license music for us to avoid any copyright lawsuits for ALL parties involved. Here are the music licensing websites we use! These songs are meant for just the edited highlight video. You can play whatever you want on your wedding day no problems!
-
Will there be a second videographer or team of videographers?We can add additional filmmakers if you have room to do so for your special day! If you book our Adventure or Treasure package, you'll get a second filmmaker on your wedding day to capture more video angles to better produce a better storytelling video. We highly highly recommend adding on a second videographer to make sure all recorded events of the wedding day are captured in both audio and visual context. One videographer can only be at one place at a time. When hiring a photographer with a second shooter. It's absolutely necessary to hire two videographers on your wedding day. For example, one videographer can't film the bride getting ready while the groom is also doing first looks with his parents, or getting ready at the same time.

How do we deliver your videos?We'll upload all your video files to a wedding USB flash drive and ship it out to your home address! We also deliver your files online as well. Depending on the package tier chosen, you will also get a wedding video book that can easily sit in your living room, bedroom, etc. It opens up like a physical book except it has speakers, a video player in it, button controls, and is rechargeable. An easy way of watching your wedding highlight video instead of remembering a link to a YouTube video or website. You can get this video book in our Adventure and Treasure package.

Do you film destination weddings?Yes! We'd love to chat about your destination wedding plans! If we're in alignment, we'd love to film your beautiful union anywhere in the world.

Can you create & send CDs / DVDs?We do not create or send CDs/DVDs, but instead we send your footage in a USB flash drive alongside other goodies in the mail. Once you've received the footage, we recommend couples to go to a local Walgreens, Walmart, online service, etc. to create custom CDs/DVDs. If you prefer, you can also copy files onto multiple USB drives from your computer to give to family and friends that way as well! Lastly, we also offer additional USB copies for purchase too.
