Accepted Answer

Yes — I film everything from intimate elopements to large weddings, always adapting my approach to each couple and setting.

I usually work solo, but for larger weddings I can arrange a second videographer if needed.

Question 5

How does working with the photographer work?

How much is the booking deposit?

Accepted Answer

Typically 20 % of the total price.

Question 10

What if we need to cancel or reschedule?

The conditions are outlined in the contract, but rescheduling is not a problem as long as I’m available on the new date — I always try to find a fair and flexible solution.

Question 11

How long do you stay and film?

Accepted Answer

I don’t work with a strict hourly limit — I’m there for the full story of your day, starting in the morning and staying through the key moments of the evening. I usually finish at a reasonable hour during the evening celebrations.

Question 12

Do you film the preparations?

Accepted Answer

Yes — I film the preparations as part of full-day coverage.

Question 13

Do you stay for the evening party?

Accepted Answer

Yes — at least for a while, so I can capture the atmosphere and energy of the celebration.

Question 17

How do we receive the video?

Accepted Answer

Via a private online gallery or secure download link.

Question 18

Do we get the raw footage?

The remaining balance is due after the wedding, once I deliver your final film.

Question 22

Why should we choose you as our videographer?

Because I focus not just on beautiful images, but on telling your story and preserving the emotions you’ll want to relive for years to come.
