Your Wedding Film
Delivery, Style & What You Receive
We deliver all wedding films within 60 days or less — most couples receive theirs much sooner. Your private gallery is hosted online for 10 years so you can download, stream, and share your films anytime from anywhere.
Your main wedding film is 10 minutes or longer, crafted from the best moments of your day. Packages that include ceremony and toast videos deliver those as separate full-length files as well. The exact length varies by how much happens on your day — longer celebrations naturally produce richer films.
We shoot and edit in a cinematic documentary style — real moments, real emotions, beautifully composed. We don't do stiff, over-directed films. We blend candid storytelling with intentional cinematography, slow-motion details, and aerial drone footage to create something that actually feels like your day.
Yes — drone footage is included in all packages at no extra charge. We'll capture aerials of your venue whenever the location and weather allow. If your venue is in a restricted airspace or a no-fly zone, we'll always let you know in advance.
Yes — your style, your vibe. When you book, we'll talk through the overall feel you're going for. You're welcome to suggest music and inspiration. We use licensed music to ensure your film can be shared and posted anywhere without copyright issues.
Your films are delivered in a private, beautifully designed online gallery. You can download full-quality files, stream directly, and share a private link with family and friends. The gallery stays live for 10 years — no rushing to download everything before it expires.
Day-Of Coverage
What to Expect on Your Wedding Day
We won't pack up and leave mid-reception. If your day runs long, we're happy to stay. Additional hours are available at a flat hourly rate — we'll discuss this upfront so there are no surprises on your wedding day.
Absolutely — we work seamlessly alongside photographers. We communicate before your wedding to align on the timeline and make sure we're never in each other's way. Most photographers we've worked with love having us on set. If you're booking photography through us as an add-on, it's even smoother since it's all one team.
Yes — lapel mic audio is included in every package. We discreetly mic the groom before the ceremony to capture crystal-clear vows and ceremony audio. This is what separates a professional wedding film from amateur footage. You'll hear every word.
We shoot with multiple cameras to capture different angles simultaneously — ensuring the ceremony, first dance, and other key moments are covered from more than one perspective. No critical moment relies on a single shot.
For local Tampa Bay weddings, we typically scout the venue beforehand for larger productions. For all weddings, we arrive early on the day to walk the space and plan our shots before guests arrive. We're thorough — you won't see us scrambling.
