How does live streaming work?
We use multiple HD Professional cameras around the ceremony or reception hall and switch between them live during the wedding to capture all the action from the best angles. Some cameras will be stationary and others will carried and controlled by a videographer. We can even provide our bride and groom with their own portable camera device that allows them to speak directly to their live stream viewers and share special behind the scenes moments. For audio, we plug into the DJ or house audio to give your viewers a high quality listening experience if available.
How and when will I get my video?
A live stream is available for viewing same day and an “on demand video file” will be provided to you via a digital download link within 7 days.

Live streams will include whatever music you have playing during the ceremony or reception. So whatever music you like... you can play with no worries of us taking down the live feed.
Can we get ALL the footage in addition to an live edited video?
No.. The live video is recorded as it happenens and therefore is streamed in full on the day of. We do not store individual camera angle recordings.

We accept many different types of payment including cash, debit, and credit cards. $300 is required to book and the balance of your package price is due 7 days before the wedding. If you need a custom payment schedule, let us know!
If, for some reason, you need to cancel your wedding then the 50% retainer is non-refundable. However, if you need to change your date, we will work with you to see if we can adjust and shoot that day instead. We do not transfer dates beyond 1 calendar year and any change is based on availability.
What happens if we need more hours than originally booked?
We will never leave you hanging on your wedding day. If you would like us to stay for additional hours onsite, we charge an hourly rate and request that payment is provided prior to the video being delivered.
How do meals work?
We ask that either food be provided for us during the reception or that we be given 30 minutes to leave and grab food. In terms of timing, we eat when you eat to make sure we’re not missing out on any of the major moments of the day.
