WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RAW FOOTAGE AND STATIONARY FILMS? +
Great question! RAW Footage is all of our video clips captured from your wedding day, straight out of the camera! We include RAW Footage in all of our videography packages, and it does include longer clips of your ceremony and speeches! However, our stationary films take things one step further by intercutting multiple camera angles and incorporating color grading, and direct HD audio sources to create one seamless film! See the video below for a visual example.

SHOULD WE GET A SECOND SHOOTER/DO WE NEED A SECOND SHOOTER? +
In our opinion, YES! Every wedding needs a second shooter and should have one, wether it's photo or video. Here are some reasons for a second… Are the bride and groom getting ready in the same location? Do you have a lot of details? Do you want another perspective of the day? Want more photos of the moments that only happen once (first look, first kiss)?
Having two shooters allows us to be in two places at once! For prep, this allows one shooter to be with the bride and one shooter with the groom. Having a second shooter gives you more time with the lead shooter for portraits, family photos and bridal party photos. While the lead photographer is working with you the second can be covering all the beautiful details of your wedding.
Having another perspective of the day is refreshing. The second is able to sneak in great candids while your attention is on the lead photographer. You get an alternate angle of special moments that only come once a wedding day and that happen very fast, like the first look, kiss and entrance.
Not to mention, in general you just get more photographs!
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? FORMAL + POSED OR NATURAL + ORGANIC? +
A little bit of both. You find lot or organic chemistry by starting with a pose and giving small directions to the couple. There are moments in the day (shooting details, rings, shoes, inviations, the dress) that we are shooting in a fine art style. There are moments in the day that we are shooting a photo journalistic style and just capturing the moment, while there are yet still other times where we are shooting strictly formal photos such as the family portraits.
WILL WE OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE PHOTOGRAPHS? +
This ones easy, yes!
WILL OUR IMAGES BE WATERMARKED? +
