Do you work for both sides?
Yes. We work for both sides, and we insist on doing so as both the couple and their families are involved in making this big day come together, so having a dedicated team works perfectly in making the results balanced.

What is the length of the wedding teaser and film?
Certainly! The wedding teaser comprises the highlight moments from your special day, condensed into a captivating 5-6 minute video. Its duration might extend depending on additional interview segments or the chosen soundtrack. As for the wedding film, we craft it to be up to 30 minutes long. Gone are the days of lengthy 5-6 hour edits; in today’s fast-paced world, these concise 30-minute films beautifully encapsulate the most cherished moments of your wedding day..

What is the composition of the team that will be attending to film my wedding?
During our discussion about your event, we’ll delve into the specifics of your guest list, your expectations for the final product, and more. For smaller, intimate weddings, we typically keep the team size modest to ensure each member can effectively capture moments without interference. However, for larger events, we advise against restricting the crew size, as it allows us to comprehensively capture both the intricate details and the grandeur of the occasion. In such cases, our team is strategically dedicated to covering all ceremonies seamlessly.

Is it possible to include an extra team for photography/cinematography?
We advise against it. Not only is it costly, but it can also disrupt our workflow. Having a single team ensures a seamless process, enabling precise control over the frame without the interference of additional photography teams entering the shot.

What is your payment process?
We request 30% of the total amount upon booking, followed by 60% a week prior to the wedding day, with the remaining 10% due upon delivery of the final deliverables.

Why do you require 90% of the payment before the event?
This question comes up frequently, and we completely understand the concern it raises for our clients. However, our approach is rooted in the extensive preparations necessary for a successful event. From the initial documentation phase to assembling the right team, selecting equipment, and ensuring seamless delivery, every aspect incurs costs. We strive to honor each wedding story, whether it’s a luxurious destination affair or an intimate gathering at home, with the utmost care and attention it deserves. Additionally, our reliance on mutual trust underpins every element of our service.
