HIGHLIGHT FILM —
The bread and butter of my work, the Highlight film is a 5-7 (ish) minute film that encapsulates the essence of your wedding day and tells your story. It’s highly creative, intentionally you, and evokes nostalgia the second you press play. Everything I am present for, I will film and incorporate into this film in one way or another. Snippets of the ceremony, speeches, vows, portraits, and celebration will ground the film alongside key audio moments from you and your people. All of the videos you see under the “films” tab of my website are highlight films!
FULL CEREMONY FILM —
This is delivered on top of your Highlight film and is a great way to memorialize the entire ceremony. Your ceremony will be filmed regardless and integrated into the Highlight (if applicable), so this is an additional video that shows the ceremony from start to finish, with key color grading and sound mixing. It will be the length that your ceremony lasted, whether that’s 20 minutes or an hour. Note: If your collection includes a Documentary Film, the full ceremony will already be a part of that.
FULL SPEECHES & TOASTS FILM —
This is delivered on top of your Highlight film and allows the speeches and toasts to be preserved in their entirity. Like your ceremony, they’ll be filmed regardless and integrated into the Highlight (if applicable), so this is an additional video that shows the speeches and toasts from start to finish, with key color grading and sound mixing. Note: If your collection includes a Documentary Film, the full ceremony will already be a part of that.
DOCUMENTARY FILM —
Think of the Documentary film as a true elevated home video, one that contains all the quirks of the day and can be treasured slowly for years to come. If you’re interested preserving the full ceremony, the full speeches, scenes from getting ready and dancing and more, the Documentary film is for you. It contains nearly all of the footage from your wedding day (or weekend), with minimal (but crucial) audio and color corrections. From start to finish, moments like your first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, entrances, toasts, dancing, and exit are edited together into a watchable film. Click here to view an example.
SUPER 8 COVERAGE —
Super 8 is a film format from the 1960’s that can be incorporated into your day. Because of its analog nature, it requires a level of craftsmanship and intention that feels especially fitting for a wedding day. Standard Super 8mm offering includes analog footage woven into your highlight film (if applicable), as well as the raw film footage in its entirity. See some examples of highlight films with Super8 integrated here, here, and here.
EXCLUSIVE SUPER 8 DOCUMENTATION —
The analog nature of Super 8mm lends itself to a level of craftsmanship and intention that feels especially fitting for a wedding day. If you’re envisioning a wedding film saturated with nostalgia and simplicity, this might be the right offering for you. This collection uses as many reels of film as needed in order to comprehensively document your day and the Highlight film will be entirely comprised of analog footage. It will be set to music like a standard Highlight film. You may choose to forego digital audio recordings as well, or opt to have vows and speeches recorded separately to be woven into the analog Highlight film.

SECOND VIDEOGRAPHER | $100/HOUR FOR 6 HOUR MINIMUM
I film 90% of my weddings solo and feel confident doing so. I love to collaborate with other vendors on your team, and find I’m able to remain non-intrusive and attuned as a one woman show. That said, there are times where having a second videographer makes sense. These include scenarios where you’re getting ready in multiple locations and desire comprehensive coverage of both partners during that portion of the day, where there’s an involved religious or cultural ceremony, or where locations throughout the day are spread out. If you elect to bring on a second videographer, I’ll find someone in my network of peers and ensure they hold the same standard that I do when it comes to presence and joy on the day of!
