Wedding Movie Project

Marriage and commitment ceremonies are huge steps in anyone’s life. It is a time in which you dedicate yourself to your partner or partners and promise to stand by their side through thick and thin. I have always had an eye for capturing that just right moment, and that’s what I want to do for you on you and your partner(s) special day!

Consultations are required for ALL wedding coverage services, and must be completed before any work begins. Consultation minimum is one hour. If the wedding is more complex and elaborate than is common it WILL require more time for planning. See the standard fees section on the services landing page for more details. Consultation maximum time allotment is 4 hours.

*All initial planning must be completed within this period of time. Things happen, plans change, people flake, venues cancel, etc. – I get it – but you need to give me time to collaborate with you to ensure that any changes to the plans for the wedding are completed and confirmed PRIOR to the wedding – ideally 72 hours in advance. Additional photographers may be required based on the size of the venues, number of guests, and complexities of the ceremony, reception, and rehearsal.

I work primarily in Colorado but depending on the location, and what we discuss during our initial consultation, I can travel outside of the state and sometimes the country for additional travel and accommodation fees. These are listed on the standard fees section of the services landing page.

*This depends on the human rights laws of the destination state and country including but not limited to minority and LGBTQIA+ protections offered by the local legislature. This is not a negotiable term.

My Wedding Movie Project package covers similar elements to my photography package for weddings. The wedding movie project is limited to coverage of the wedding ceremony and the reception only. There are no “add-ons” available for the movie project at this time such as what I offer for my photography service.

*If photos and a video are both desired, additional photographers/videographers will be needed and additional fees, labor rates, and taxes will apply.*

Ceremony coverage includes: entry procession, ceremony readings, exchanging of vows, the first kiss, and the exit procession.

Reception coverage includes: the gathering, milling about, and hanging out of the wedding guests; entrance of the couple or polycule; seating of the wedding party; all speeches and toasts; footage of the food as it is being brought out and served; the first dance; select dances from either party with their family members (must be determined in the consultation); the entire party; and the couple or polycule exiting.

Any additional shot requests will require additional cameras and videographers (this does NOT cancel out the venue premiums). This means additional labor costs and fees WILL apply. These MUST be requested and discussed in detail during the consultation and written into the contract before it is signed. No add-ons after the fact, NO EXCEPTIONS – the more complex the asks, the more expensive the cost will be…
