Question 1

What is your approach to filming?

Accepted Answer

Candid moments come first. I’ll offer gentle guidance when it’s helpful, so you can stay present with the people you love.

Question 2

Where do you film weddings?

Accepted Answer

I’m based in Lake George, New York, and my films have taken me from the Adirondacks to Rhode Island and France. Tell me where you’re celebrating, and we’ll talk through the travel details.

Question 3

When will we receive our film?

Accepted Answer

Your wedding film is typically ready in 10–12 weeks. Every edit gets thoughtful attention to color, sound, and the moments that make the story yours.

Question 4

Can we choose the music?

Accepted Answer

We’ll talk about the feeling and style you love. I use licensed music that fits your story, so a particular commercial track may not be available, but your preferences help shape the film.

Question 5

How do we reserve our date?

Accepted Answer

Start by sharing your plans. If I’m available, we’ll arrange a conversation and put together a proposal. Your date is secured with a signed contract and a 30% deposit, with everything explained before you commit.

Question 6

Do you travel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Travel is included anywhere in New York and Massachusetts. Elsewhere, travel is quoted case by case, and Europe dates are by application.

Question 7

How far ahead should we book?

Accepted Answer

For June through October, 9–12 months ahead. Winter and spring dates often have room with 4–6 months’ notice.

Question 8

Do you offer drone footage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, weather and location permitting. I’m an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot and handle the flight planning with your venue so it’s safe and legal.

Question 9

What if it rains?

Accepted Answer

We adapt. Some of the best films happen under clear umbrellas; Olivia & Kevin’s day at The Adelphi is proof.

Question 10

Can we ask for changes to our film?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You get one round of revisions on the feature film: a song change, a different moment, a tweak to the pacing.

Question 11

What’s the difference between the feature film and the ceremony & speeches film?

Accepted Answer

The feature film tells the story of your day in a few minutes, cut to music. The ceremony & speeches film keeps those moments in full, with synced audio, so nothing is trimmed.
