Questions
Because photo and film work best when they work together. As one team, we already know how to move around each other, communicate, and approach your day with the same visual direction. It means less coordination for you and a more seamless experience from start to finish.
Absolutely. Every wedding is different, so we can adjust coverage based on your timeline, priorities, and what matters most to you. We’ll help you build an option that makes sense for your day rather than adding things you don’t need.
For most full wedding days, we recommend around 8 hours or more. That usually gives us enough time to tell the story without making the day feel rushed. Once we know your timeline and plans, we can recommend the amount of coverage that makes the most sense.
Yes. We’re happy to review your timeline and help plan photography and film coverage around the best light, locations, and flow of the day. We also work closely with your planner and other vendors so everything feels as easy and natural as possible.
Photos are typically delivered within 4–6 weeks, and wedding films within 8–10 weeks. For film collections, we also deliver a teaser within about a week so you have something to relive and share while we work on the full film.
Yes. We’re based in Southern California and regularly work throughout the region, but we’re always open to traveling wherever your wedding takes us. Send us the location and we’ll include any applicable travel details in your proposal.
Once you’re ready to move forward, your date is reserved with a signed agreement and retainer. The remaining balance can be split into payments leading up to the wedding, so you don’t have to take care of everything at once.
