FAQs for Wedding Videography

Most frequent questions and answers

Yes, any package is customizable. Second shooters, same-day teasers, and longer films are all common changes.

We aim for a neutral polished look. Good contrast, and medium saturation. Our films do not inherit current trendy looks, so they remain timeless and classic. We also film like a fly on the wall, and try not to get in the way. We’ll step in where we can for the best shots, but we film passively for a majority of your wedding day. 

Yes! We absolutely travel outside of Michigan (and even have some perks for certain destinations). Let us know where you’re thinking! 

We deliver all of your wedding films between 8-12 weeks after your wedding day! 

All films are recorded and delivered in 4k (3840x2160p), 24fps, and delivered via cloud storage platforms. 

This is one of our top comments we hear— “I regret not hiring a videographer for my wedding!” That’s why we work hard to make memorable films at a reasonable price.

Our packages start at $2,500, which is an average price for West Michigan. We feel this is an incredibly reasonable price for the quality of films we deliver, and there are many videographers in Grand Rapids who give you less, but charge much more. 

The number of videographers is totally up to you! Two videographers from Mid-July are common if your wedding party is divided in separate locations for a large portion of your day, or if you’d like extra coverage of certain details.

This does not change the quality of your final films, and is completely optional.
