On the fence about adding video coverage to your photo package?
We get it. Photo is mandatory for any wedding day, and video is an “extra” nice to have. But in our opinion video is just as important as photo. From reception toasts to your personal vows & all those emotional moments that portray the tru personality of your relatives - Video just captures more than photographs can in certain scenarios. If you are planning your wedding and on the fence about adding a videographer we would love to chat details and see if there is anything we may be able to do to help.
Hiring a company that has both photo & video is a huge benefit as we bundle our packages to make it more cost efficient for each couple. We have worked together for several years and know exactly where to be during each moment of the day and to not step in each others shot. Working with other companies sometimes has its challenges and that is why we love being able to work together all in house as our photo & video team has a connection and helps the day flow smoothly, knowing each and every detail knowing we are on the same page. With that being said, we are stoked to share our latest wedding videos. As always, thank you for taking the time to check out our work, and hope to connect soon!
From the coast in San Diego to the rolling vineyards of Temecula Wine Country and all that in between. The past month has been filled with so many amazing couples and wedding venues. It has been a blast getting to meet so many incredible people and always love working with so many talented planners, florists, and Dj’s. We are so excited for this weekend with weddings here in San Diego at The Ultimate Skybox in DTSD followed by Sunday’s wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. Make sure to follow along for behind the scenes on Instagram.
Hiring a wedding videographer is a crucial step in capturing the magic of your big day. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect one:
1. Determine Your Style
Cinematic: Think movie-like with a dramatic touch.
Documentary: More focused on capturing events as they happen.
Traditional: Classic, with a focus on key moments and speeches.
2. Set Your Budget
Videography costs can vary widely. Decide on a budget that works for you and stick to it.
3. Research and Recommendations
Ask for Referrals: Get recommendations from friends, family, or your wedding planner.
Read Reviews: Look for feedback from previous clients on websites like The Knot, WeddingWire, or Yelp.
4. Review Portfolios
Watch full-length videos, not just highlight reels. This will give you a better sense of their style and consistency.
5. Meet in Person
Discuss Vision: Make sure they understand what you want and that your styles align.
Assess Compatibility: You’ll be working closely with them, so make sure you feel comfortable.
6. Check Equipment and Backup Plans
Ensure they use professional-grade equipment and have backup plans in case of technical issues.
7. Understand the Package
Coverage: How many hours are included? Does it cover pre-wedding events like the rehearsal dinner?
Deliverables: What format will you receive the video in? How long will it be? Is there a highlight reel?
8. Read the Contract Carefully
Make sure all details are clear, including the payment schedule, cancellation policy, and rights to the footage.
9. Confirm Details
Confirm the date, location, and timeline with the videographer well in advance to avoid any last-minute issues.
10. Stay in Touch
Keep open lines of communication with your videographer leading up to the wedding. Share any important details or changes to your plans.
Choosing the right videographer will help ensure that your wedding memories are beautifully captured and preserved for years to come!
