Once we've confirmed availability and selected the right package for your wedding, a $500 non-refundable retainer is required to officially reserve your date.

The remaining base package balance is split into two payments due approximately 6 months and 3 months before your wedding day.

For cinematic packages, editing fees are calculated separately based on the total hours required to complete your films.

Social Content is designed to be casual, candid, and social-first. Coverage is primarily captured on iPhone with minimal equipment, giving you plenty of behind-the-scenes photos and video clips that are easy to share online.

Cinematic Wedding Films are professionally produced using 4K cinematic cameras, professional audio equipment, drone footage when included, and more extensive post-production.

If you're looking for candid memories and social-ready content, Social Content may be perfect for you. If you want your vows, speeches, dances, and wedding story professionally preserved, I'd recommend a Cinematic Wedding Plan.

Every wedding is different, but here's a good starting point:

Basic Wedding Plan — Best for smaller weddings and streamlined timelines where coverage is primarily needed from the ceremony through the reception.

Full Wedding Plan — Recommended for most traditional full wedding days, typically with fewer than 150 guests. Coverage begins with getting ready and continues through the major reception events.

Premium Wedding Plan — Recommended for larger weddings, typically 150+ guests, longer timelines, multiple locations, or wedding days with more events and moving pieces.

Not sure? Send me your timeline and wedding details and I'll help recommend the best fit!

Cinematic wedding editing is billed separately at $30/hour based on the actual time required to complete your films.

Most Cinematic Wedding Plans require approximately $900–$1,100 in editing, while Destination Weddings typically average around $1,500.

This allows the cost to reflect the actual amount of post-production required rather than building a larger editing estimate into every package.

Social Content packages do not have an additional hourly editing fee.

Absolutely! I'm based in Chicago and regularly travel throughout Illinois, Michigan, the Midwest, and beyond.

Travel within approximately 2 hours of Chicago is included.

Current regional travel rates are:

Grand Rapids / West Michigan — +$100

Detroit / Southeast Michigan — +$150

Northern Michigan — +$250

Destination weddings are quoted individually based on airfare, transportation, lodging, and other necessary travel expenses.

Absolutely. Destination weddings are some of my favorite weddings to capture!

Destination weddings are customized based on your location, timeline, guest count, wedding events, and overall vision. Coverage is typically comparable to my Premium Wedding Plan, with travel and lodging factored into the overall investment.

Most destination weddings average approximately $6,000 total, including wedding-day coverage and typical travel accommodations. Final pricing may vary depending on the destination, airfare, lodging, and length of stay.

For destinations such as Cancun or Cabo, this estimate is generally based on travel and accommodations at an all-inclusive resort.

Absolutely! The packages are designed to cover most wedding days, but no two weddings are exactly the same.

If you need additional coverage, have multiple locations, want a specific moment captured, or have something unique planned, let me know and we can customize your coverage accordingly.

Cinematic wedding films are typically delivered within 6–8 weeks following your wedding.

I'll stay in touch throughout the editing process and use the details we discuss beforehand to make sure the final film reflects the style, music, moments, and overall feeling you're looking for.

All final films, photos, and social content are delivered digitally through a private downloadable gallery or folder.

You'll have a designated period of time to download and save your files. I always recommend downloading everything and creating your own backup once your gallery is delivered.

All Cinematic Wedding Plans include full speeches and first dances as separate downloadable videos.

Additional full-length moments, including vows, are delivered based on the package selected.

Social Content packages focus on candid and social-first coverage and do not include professionally recorded full-length ceremony audio, speeches, vows, or dances.

Drone footage is included with eligible Full, Premium, and customized Destination packages whenever conditions allow.

Drone operation depends on weather, location, airspace restrictions, venue rules, safety, and applicable regulations, so drone footage cannot always be guaranteed.

Of course! I regularly work alongside photographers and other wedding vendors throughout the day.

I'll coordinate with your photographer whenever necessary so we can both capture what we need while keeping your wedding day moving naturally.

Wedding timelines change — it happens!

If you know beforehand that you'll need additional coverage, we can adjust your package or add additional time.

If the timeline runs longer than expected on the wedding day, additional coverage is subject to availability and may result in an additional charge.

Your music preferences are an important part of creating a film that actually feels like you.

Before your wedding, we'll discuss your style, music taste, and overall vision so I have direction when creating your film while still maintaining the creative style you hired me for.

Wedding dates are booked on a first-come, first-served basis, and your date isn't officially reserved until your contract and retainer are completed.

If you already know your wedding date, I'd recommend reaching out as early as possible — especially for popular summer and fall weekends.
