WEDDING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We love your work and we're ready to book! What's the next step?
Reach out to me, and I’ll arrange a brief discovery call to delve into your wedding vision and discuss the creation of your film. After gaining insights into the wonder
*** I will require a signed contract and a non-refundable deposit of 50%. The remaining balance must be paid 30 days before the wedding day.

1-3 hour drive = $1.30 per mile.
3-4 Hr Drive = $400 Flat rate (gas & 1 night hotel stay)

How Will The Song For My Film Be Picked?
All the music I use is licensed through Musicbed. Unfortunately, I cannot fulfill music requests due to copyright reasons. If you have a specific song in mind, please let me know and I will try to obtain the licensing rights for your film.
Do you provide Photography?
I don't offer photography services, but I can refer you to great photographers and other vendors once you book with me. All referrals are from people I've personally worked with. Check out Reje Rush Wedding Photography HERE.
What Will I Receive In The End?
You will receive an edited short film showcasing the highlight of the day. (i.e. wedding film) You also have the option to purchase a longer format and or full feature film, which are separate films with more coverage over your ceremony, the reception, and speeches.
Do you need to attend our rehearsal?
Rehearsal dinner coverage is available if you'd like to add it to your collection; otherwise, I don't attend the rehearsals. We will talk about the timing of your day and the flow of the event, and one of the things is the ceremony. I'd love to hear about the timing of the ceremony itself, but please rest assured that not attending the rehearsal doesn't impact your coverage in any way.
Can you hold a date for me?
I'm so sorry, but I can't hold the date or pencil you in. To be fair to everyone I can't "hold" a date without a retainer and a signed contract. I accept bookings on a first-come/first-served basis.
What is your payment schedule?
A signed contract and 50% non-refundable deposit needs to be completed to lock in your date. The deposit is non-refundable and will be applied to your total balance. The remaining 50% balance is due 30 days before your wedding date.. I'll send you an email reminder when your payments are due. I like to make things as easy as possible for you.
Can we pay you part of the amount after the wedding?
I do require full payment before the event. Payment for overtime, album upgrades, or additional products beyond your wedding day contract, however, are all due post-wedding. If you have any concerns about the payment schedule, I'd love to chat with you.
If I need to cancel my wedding, is the retainer refundable?
The retainer fee and all monies paid are non-refundable. The retainer guarantees that I'll hold the date exclusively for you and once you've signed the contract I do turn down all other commissions for that date.
If we're running late, will you stay later than you were scheduled?
Surely! I do have an overtime rate that goes into effect only with your permission and approval that I continue coverage. I'll bill you for those hours after you return from your honeymoon. Overtime includes everyone working at the event, including me, my associate photographer (if one is part of your collection), and our assistant.
