After 20 years of filming more than 1600 weddings, our large family team believes professional videography should be fair and affordable, and your videographers should be discreet and non-obtrusive. You should also get all of your main events in their entirety, not just bits and pieces in a highlight video. We do all of that, and more.
1- Minute Long Preview Reel – Most social media sites require videos to be under 60 seconds, so not long after your wedding, you'll get what we call a Preview Reel for just that purpose. Around a minute long, these quick videos are perfect for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and more! We'll use copyright safe music for this featurette, and let you choose the mood of the song (epic, chill, country, dreamlike, rockin' or upbeat). Check out our latest here!
2- Short Film Sneak Peek Video – You'll also get a Short Film Sneak Peek video the same time you get your Preview Reel. Usually around 10-12 minutes long, this video highlights every part of your day, including your vows and ring exchange. We'll utilize professionally licensed music allowing it to be posted anywhere online. Check some out here.
3- Full Length Feature Film Final Video – Your end product, usually around 2 hours long, will feature all of your major events in full, in real time, as they happened. Your ceremony, first dance, toasts, cake cutting... all of it... every second. Those major events will be sandwiched by various video montages of all things pre and post ceremony like getting ready footage, formal photos, your cocktail hour, lots of details of the venue and grounds, all set to the music you choose. Seriously, any music you want, popular or otherwise. If we're there long enough, we'll capture a lot of your open dancing, too. At the end of this video we'll include a short highlight video (more on that below). View a Full Length Film here.
4- A Highlight Video – Our Full Length Film concludes with a 4-6 minute long Highlight Video set to the music you choose. The Highlight Video wraps up your entire day into a short presentation... perfect to show folks what your day was like without having to sit through your entire Full Length Film. See our latest Highlight Videos here.
5- Raw Footage Outakes – We'll include anything that didn't make the Full Length Film, as well as real time footage of pre and post ceremony activities, as part of your package either in it's own chapter marker in the main video, or as a separate digital video file if such footage is extensive.
Also included with all packages:
Complete Coverage – All important events, such as the Ceremony and key Reception moments, will be presented in the completed video in real time with their own chapter markers. See and hear the vows, toasts, special dances and more all as it happened! We always use two cameras during the ceremony and important reception events as well for total coverage.
Drone Coverage – Weather, venue and FAA permitting, we'll fly a drone on your wedding day to gather aerial footage of the grounds of your venue for inclusion in your video at no extra charge! If the weather is bad, we may be able to use some stock drone footage that we captured on a different day.
Wireless Sound – We use wireless WAV recorder/microphones during the ceremony for optimal sound of your vows. WAV microphones have no actual wireless signal and won't affect any house wireless UHF system. We will also send you the audio file from the ceremony just a few days after the big day for fun.
You Choose the Music – You select all of the music you'd like to use for the various parts of your Full Length Feature Film, as well as go over day-of specifics for your wedding via forms for our various packages on our Preparation Page, which also will tell you what to expect from us on the day of your wedding:)
Add Photos – All packages come with a complimentary mini-photo montage! Up to 40 photos, you can send us 'diapers to dating' images, engagement photos or even honeymoon photos! This is completely optional.
Hands On Customization – Matt personally edits every wedding and every client has the option to sit in on the final editing process at Matt's home studio per request to critique, tweak and finalize things with their own personal touch.
Digital Delivery – Once completed, we'll send your fully edited video to you via online download as Quicktime MP4's suitable for iTunes, Quicktime, Apple TV, Windows Media Player, other video playback software and all the different cloud services. You can even upload it to your Youtube channel if you'd like! You can easily make your own USB thumb drives using this file. DVD, thumb drive and SSD drive options available a-la-cart if you'd rather us do it for you!
Experience – All packages can be tailored to any type of wedding across all faiths. Christian, Jewish, Hindu/Indian, Greek... you name it, we've gained the experience in over more than 20 years in business with over 1600 weddings filmed to date by a mostly family crew!

An additional videographer is great when we have to be in two places at one time. They also allow for more dynamic coverage of all the day's events and also allow for the ability to do Video Messages at your reception (if you'd like to do that of course)! We'd set that camera up near the bar or lobby, and would have a sign on it inviting guests over to leave well wishes at their leisure. Specific pricing for an extra videographer is denoted with each package above.
We'll come film your rehearsal and/or rehearsal dinner and deliver it fully edited with your package on a separate disk, which would also include any raw footage and outakes from the day-of, turning your package into a double-disk set! See detailed description toward the bottom of this page. Usually requires hotel fees as well if the wedding is the next day.
Different than our 'Mini Photo Montage' we'll put together a longer 7-9 minute photo montage of the couple through the years set to the music of your choice (two songs). At your reception it could then be shown on house TV's, projection screens or our own iMac computer for an extra fee! See detailed description toward the bottom of this page. For projection from one of our computer monitors on your gift table at your wedding, add $100.
Different than our 'Mini Photo Montage' we'll put together a longer 10-12 minute photo montage of the couple through the years set to the music of your choice (three songs). At your reception it could then be shown on house TV's, projection screens, etc. Have more than 100 pics? Inquire about special pricing!
This is like a video engagement shoot where the couple tells their story about how they came together. It would be used as a lead-in to your main wedding video, and could also be used to invite guests to your wedding... aka a 'Save the Date' video!
We make your wedding video files available for download for a few months after the wedding on Dropbox. After that time, if you need to download your wedding video again, we charge a one-time fee of $30 as it takes a couple hours of work to go into our archives and upload the files to Dropbox again. We highly recommend all of our couples to not only save their video on their computers, but in their cloud storage as well (your own Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, etc.) for safe keeping:)
If we filmed your wedding before the digital age kicked into full gear (anytime before 2012), we may be able to digitize your wedding DVD's! We keep extensive archives and have every wedding we've filmed saved on external hard drives. We can take your DVD's files and digitize them, turning them into MP4 files then sharing the a Dropbox link for you to download your wedding video.

* Travel fees reflect compensation for the additional time our team spends traveling for events, or other costs we may incur such as parking, tolls, fuel or hotel stays, as well as general logistics in certain areas. For example, even though a location in DC might be 60 minutes from us, we plan an additional hour of buffer time to get there due to traffic concerns. Same for parts of the eastern shore of MD... we add much more time to our agenda knowing how bad bridge or beach traffic can be.
**For most venues in major cities, we require valet parking, or a reasonably secure parking area on site, as well as the booking of two videographers.
