Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We provide a TON of information right on our website. We're happy to meet with anyone for a consult, but we're not one of those vendors who have a vague website with no pricing and force our clients to meet with us to sell them on our product. Our packages, pricing (starting at $800 for weddings), sample videos, feedback and a lot more can be found right on our website!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelor of Science, Art from Towson University... and experience filming weddings (over 1100 of them now) and other events since 2002.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Packages start at $800 for weddings. Our more popular packages are in the $1400-$2000 range.
How did you get started in this business?
Filmed a wedding for a friend for fun! After that, emails started coming in asking me to film their wedding. That was 1100+ weddings and over 600 corporate events ago:)
What types of customers have you worked with?
We've filmed weddings for just about every culture out there. Christian, Jewish, Indian/Hindu... you name it, we've done it!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We film medical lectures for the Chiari and Syringomyelia foundation. Our videos have been viewed by millions of people, putting life saving information at their fingertips. We take a lot of pride in that and have been humbled by it.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
For a videographer, do they use SLR's or real video cameras? There's a big difference, and we personally have found SLR cameras to have huge drawbacks for live events (most SLR folks can only do a highlight video because they can't film a whole day... unless you want several cameras and lights everywhere and for them to be really obtrusive). True professional video cameras are much more advantageous for live events, especially weddings, and allow us to capture everything in full all the while being super discreet. Most of our clients don't even notice us there on the wedding day!
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Look for vendors who do what they do full time and it's not just a side job. Make sure they have backup in case they get sick on your day. If you hire full timers, they'll know what they're doing, probably be much more fair with their pricing and have all the backup in the world in case of an emergency. You only get married once, do it right.
