Question 1

WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?

Accepted Answer

Timeless and Romantic. Not trendy.

Question 2

IS THERE A DEPOSIT REQUIRED?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A non-refundable retainer is required and is due at the signing of the agreement. The balance isn't due until two weeks before the wedding.

Question 3

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

Accepted Answer

No. However, the balance minus the retainer isn't due until two weeks before the wedding.

Question 4

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELATION/COVID POLICY?

Accepted Answer

As stated above the retainer is non-refundable but can be applied to a later date provided 1) the date is available and 2) the new date is within 12 months from the original date. If the balance has been paid and the wedding is cancelled before two weeks of the wedding, then a full refund minus the retainer will be given. If the balance has been paid and the wedding is cancelled within two weeks before the wedding no refunds can be given.

Question 5

DO YOU OFFER ANY DISCOUNTS?

Accepted Answer

I offer a $100 discount on any film or package to bride or grooms who are current military, military veterans or first-responders.

Question 6

WHAT KIND OF WEDDING FILMS DO YOU PROVIDE?

Accepted Answer

I provide two types of films. A Highlight Film which is 4 to 6 minutes in length and a Short Feature Film which is 10 to 15 minutes in length. https://fourpointweddingfilms.com/filmspackages

Question 7

DO YOU PROVIDE PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES AS WELL?

Accepted Answer

I do not. And I caution you against purchasing a “video” add-on. I am singularly focused on telling the story of this day through video and audio and not just creating a video version of your photographs. That being said I do partner with an amazing photographer and highly recommend. Please see my preferred vendors list.

Question 8

CAN WE CHOOSE OUR OWN MUSIC FOR OUR FILM?

Accepted Answer

Not typically. I use only licensed music from licensing sources. Recording artists and record companies own the rights to their song/music and it is against US copyright laws to use their material in your wedding film without their permission. That being said, if there is a song you just have to have in your film, I can see if it is available to license. Be warned, costs for licensing a single song can get into the thousands, tens of thousand and even hundreds of thousand of dollars. My music selections are based on my time getting to know and watching you two throughout the day.

Question 9

HOW MANY HOURS OF COVERAGE DO YOU PROVIDE?

Accepted Answer

Here is where I differ from other wedding film makers. My approach is not based on how many hours you buy but of telling your story of the beginning of your lives together. My day begins while everyone is still getting ready. More specifically, I will arrive while you, the bride, is still in makeup and close to being finished and I don’t leave until you two drive away.

Question 10

DO YOU PROVIDE COVERAGE OF MORE THAN JUST YOUR TWO FILMS?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I have created packages that will include the Highlight Film or the Long-Form Highlight film or Both along with your entire Ceremony from start to finish as well as your Reception Highlights such as your grand entrance, first dance, speeches, cake cutting, garter and bouquet toss along with lots of dancing and your big exit. https://fourpointweddingfilms.com/filmspackages

Question 11

DO YOU PROVIDE DRONE/AERIAL COVERAGE?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I am a commercially licensed drone pilot and all my films have aerial coverage provided there are no FAA flight restrictions and weather permitting.

Question 12

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR FILM?

Accepted Answer

3 to 4 months.

Question 13

ARE YOU INSURED?

Accepted Answer

Yes, fully insured.

Question 14

DO YOU PROVIDE ANY CUSTOM OR SPECIAL COVERAGE?

Accepted Answer

Let’s talk about it!

Question 15

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN FILMING WEDDINGS?

Accepted Answer

I spent more than 20 years in broadcast radio and television and most recently as director of photography for comedian Tim Hawkins, producing and directing his concert films, music videos and content for his social media channels before moving into wedding films full-time. In 2009 I filmed my first wedding and have been in love ever since.

Question 16

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN A WEDDING/VIDEOGRAPER?

Accepted Answer

When hiring a videographer/cinematographer for your special day, there are many different aspects to consider. Here are just a few. First, make sure you like their style. I think this goes without saying but look at examples of their work. What are people saying about this videographer and their work? Make sure you understand what the delivery turn-around time is for your films. This should be specific and spelled out in the agreement. Do they work well with others? All of your vendors should work as a team. There is no room for “prima donnas” on your big day.
