FAQs

01.

WHY IS YOUR PRICE LOWER THAN OTHERS?

Although I have been filming since 2022 and have had the opportunity to film at different venues, I have historically filmed extremely part-time due to a very demanding corporate job. Now that I'm not in that job anymore (YAY!!!), I have a lot more availability for weddings in 2026. This year will be the year I gain a lot of experience but still am able to provide couples the option of a videographer for lower than the market.

02.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED AND HOW FAR WILL YOU TRAVEL?

I am located in Paso Robles, CA. I take local weddings here and in the surrounding areas like Templeton all the way to Santa Maria. Occasionally I will film in Santa Barbara.

03.

IF WE COVER YOUR TRAVEL EXPENSES, WOULD YOU FILM OUR WEDDING FOR FREE?

I've seen a lot of this on social media and I am 100% definitely open to this idea depending on the location! Let's chat :)

04.

DOES YOUR CAMERA DUAL-RECORD?

Yes, ma'am (or sir)! I use a Panasonic GH5 camera that records your footage to two SD cards, should one card fail.

05.

WHAT IS YOUR FILMING AND EDITING APPROACH?

I like to think my films as elevated home movies. I film and edit the day as it is. I don't tend to intervene too much on the wedding day, instead stay more behind-the-scenes and capture things organically. I film handheld, so there are natural movements in the film. I like to edit the films in chronological order for the most part.

06.

DO YOU GIVE US ALL THE RAW FOOTAGE?

No, I do not provide raw footage unless specified as an Add On (i.e. toasts, first dances). As a solo shooter 99% of the time, I am running all around, zooming in and out, and more. So your raw footage is allllll over the place. I use all that footage and combine it into your film.

07.

WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR VIDEO(S)?

Within 12 weeks from the date after the wedding.
