ANSWERS!
The answer is you… you, your family, your friends and the love you share. Our films are about you, they aren’t about what we think looks cool or what the current trends in wedding videography are. Weddings are filled with incredible, beautiful moments, big and small, and this is why we never ask our couples to fake anything. There is no need to fake anything because weddings are awesome!
Capturing the full range of emotion at each unique wedding is our obsession. We focus on people because it’s people who make weddings special. That philosophy permeates our entire process, from filming to editing. So a big thank you to the hundreds of couples who have given us thousands of beautiful moments to film.
The short answer is sooner is better than later. We limit the number of weddings we film each month/year in order to maintain a high quality level. This means our calendar fills up quickly. It’s always best to secure your date ASAP.
This is an easy one… be present and in the moment. This is a big day for you so take it all in and feel every emotion deeply. Concentrate on each other and take several moments to pause and reflect. It’s going to go by very fast so don’t sweat the small stuff. If it rains, dance in the rain, it’s fun! Be yourselves and enjoy one of the best days of your lives.
Oh, there is one other thing. We highly recommend asking your guests to refrain from using their cell phones during the ceremony. They are excited for you and want to snap photos but you are spending a lot of money to have professionals document your wedding. Filming & photographing a wedding ceremony is not easy and you only get one chance to get it right. It always breaks our hearts when a groom can’t watch his bride walk down the aisle because 20 guests are fighting for position with their cell phones. Not to mention, it might cause us to miss that beautiful moment.
Asking your guests to leave their phones untouched during the ceremony not only gives your professionals better working conditions, it also allows them to be present in the moment with you rather than worrying about who is going to get the first photo up on Instagram. Win-Win!
Hell yes we will.
We hear you! We are not big fans of being in front of the camera, which is probably why we make it a priority to be as invisible as possible when we film. The last thing we want is to make you or your guests uncomfortable. You won’t even know we are there and we will never make you perform or do anything cheesy.
Oh dear lord no. Not even close. We would never be able to provide the high quality film you deserve with only a few hours to slap something together. Our editing process is extremely thoughtful, deliberate and obsessive. Have we mentioned our obsession with your film yet? Let’s put it this way, it’s typical for us to spend 20+ hours just to choose the perfect music for a film.
Yes, sort of. As much as we love real Super 8 film, we also love the reliability of modern digital cameras.
You get one chance to get it right when you film a wedding, so we like to eliminate as many risks as possible.
Using the magic of very sophisticated film emulation software we are able to created Super 8 films without actually shooting on film.
Seriously…take a look!
You bet. As much as we love sharing our work, it’s your wedding and it’s your right to keep it private.
Yes.
“Neat, what celebrities?”
We will never tell! (because we aren’t allowed to)
Yep! You can see some samples of our non-wedding work right here.
Currently, we have four rescue cats, Dolly Mae, Pumpkin, Will Feral and Buddy. Additionally there are nine outdoor neighborhood cats we take care of.
In 2021 Darlene took her dedication to rescuing cats and helping the local ecology to the next level and started a non-profit with some friends called Good Cat Network. Check ’em out!
There have been many other cats and one sweet pit bull that we have rescued over the years. All have been spoiled by us!
