Elopement Film | Andrea + Raul at Glen Oaks, Big Sur, CA

, ,

It was so sweet to be a part of this wedding, and all the others, that happened during 2020 at a time when film became more valuable to almost everyone. It was an honor to capture these more intimate gatherings so couples could share them with all the loved ones who couldn't make it, and I'm excited for the weddings this year & getting to film couples who waited to throw a party in 2021 🎉

My top 4 most asked questions as a wedding videographer

My top 4 most asked questions as a wedding videographer

In the words of several successful individuals, creating a resource that addresses frequently asked questions can be incredibly valuable. This FAQ aims to preemptively answer some of the common queries that prospective couples might have, allowing them to feel more informed and at ease.

1. How do you partner with photographers to make the day go smoothly?

The collaboration with photographers begins well before the wedding day. I make it a priority to connect with any new photographers to understand their style and discuss the day's logistics. It's important to me that we do not view each other as separate teams competing for shots but as a unified team with the shared goal of making the day enjoyable and seamless for the couple. Even if our styles differ, I focus on our common artistic goals to efficiently use the couple's time and create a harmonious experience. Often, the greatest compliment I receive at the end of the event is a bride surprised to learn we have only worked together for that one day.

2. What will I receive once all is said and done?

Regardless of whether you book me for an hour or a full day, every wedding film package includes two key deliverables. The first is a cinematic wedding film, which varies in length based on the day's events—examples of which you can view on our wedding films page. The second is a longer raw footage edit that includes all meaningful footage from the day, presented with natural audio and minimal color correction. This edit typically includes the entire ceremony and any speeches or toasts delivered. Additional options like Instagram films or rehearsal dinner films are also available.

3. What audio do you capture throughout the day, and how will it be incorporated Into the film?

While modern trends sometimes lean towards shorter, music-only films, I capture comprehensive audio, including the complete ceremony and all toasts, using lapel mics and audio recorders. When fitting, I incorporate specific audio clips into the cinematic film to enhance the storytelling. However, I avoid forcing audio inclusion if it doesn’t naturally complement the video. Rest assured, the full audio from key moments is always included in the raw footage edit for a complete auditory memory of your day.

4. How does the music selection process usually go?

Music selection is a critical and personalized part of crafting your wedding film. You can be as involved or uninvolved as you wish in this process. While I cannot use popular music due to licensing restrictions, I encourage couples to share any songs, genres, or mood descriptions that resonate with them—be it something moody and ethereal for a Big Sur elopement or light and airy for a Napa wedding. Ideally, this input is shared before the wedding day, allowing me to thoughtfully prepare and ensure the music perfectly complements your film.
