YOUR DAY, CAPTURED AS IT HAPPENS.
In so many ways, I love making short films about people’s weddings. It is one of the most important, exciting honest things anyone gets to witness and I feel really lucky to get to be a part of that. Whether it’s an elopement in the mountains, an intimate wedding in a rustic barn, or a handmade backyard ceremony that ends with fireworks and s’mores I’ll always be drawn to the real-life love stories that are the backbone of these beautiful events.
LET’S START AT THE BEGINNING
I fell in love with film-making when I first started capturing footage of my family with an old super-8 camera. The life that was captured on that film felt like it embedded stronger memories, as if I could better remember the sounds and smells and feelings from those family adventures. And I realized that I could share that same experience with other people, that I could capture their day, as it unfolds, sometimes from their perspective and sometimes from my own. And, in that, the end-product would be this perfect time-capsule of an amazing experience.
BOOKING: HOW IT WORKS & WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
I try to make this process as simple as possible, so I work with under three basic packages. All three packages offer their unique approach to film-making and the basic consideration is budget and time with each. The following sections will describe each individual package in greater detail but here is a quick list of what each and every package will always include:
FACE-TIME, SKYPE OR PHONE SESSION BEFORE YOUR WEDDING
FEEDBACK ON DAY-OF TIME LINE BASED ON LIGHT, SUN, LOCATION ETC
MULTI-CAM COVERAGE
1 REEL OF SUPER 8 FILM SHOT AT YOUR WEDDING
FINAL OUT-OF-CAMERA SELECTS
EDITED SHORT FILM OF YOUR WEDDING DAY
12-16 WEEK TURNAROUND
