Wedding Film Packages & Pricing

Complete Coverage. Flexible & Fair Pricing. Discreet.

After 24 years of filming more than 1700 weddings, our large family team believes professional videography should be fair and affordable, and your videographers should be discreet and non-obtrusive.  We don't script anything or require any special time with the couple on the day-of.  You should also get all of your main events in their entirety as part of your video, not as an expensive add-on.  We do all of that, and more. 

You get 4 Videos With Any of our Packages

All of our Standard Cut Wedding Film packages include:

1- Social Media Trailer –  Around a minute long, these quick videos are perfect for Instagram, Facebook and any other social media.  We'll use copyright safe music for this featurette, and let you choose the mood of the song (fun, chill, epic, country, dreamlike, rockin' or upbeat).   Check out our latest here!


2- Short Film or a Music Video Highlight Reel –  Released at the same time as the Trailer, you'll also get to choose between a Short Film or a Music Video Highlight Reel.  Recapping the entire day, a Music Video Highlight Reel is set to a song of your choosing... yes, any song you want!  If there's a song that means a lot to the two of you, that would be the one to choose.  We'll take dozens of key moments from your day and sync them to the beat and tempo of the song.  A Short Film also recaps your day, runs about 10-12 minutes long, is set to custom music (you can choose from our curated playlist) and features real-time snippets of parts of your ceremony.  You don't need to choose which option until closer to the wedding day. Can't decide which you like better? Add both to any package a-la-carte.


3- Real-Time Ceremony and Reception Cut (usually exceeding 2 hours in length) – We’ll discreetly film your entire Ceremony and important Reception events in real-time, including any first look or private vows with the couple as well.  See and hear the ceremony, toasts, special dances and more all as it happened with professional audio. If we’re with you for open dancing, we’ll film most of that, too!  We also have options for non-obtrusive interviews with guests via a Video Message Station we could set up during the reception (some folks like to call it ‘The Confessional’), allowing guests to roast or toast the couple at their leisure.   


4- Raw Footage Outakes – We'll include anything that didn't make your fully edited Wedding 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.  We always use two (or more) cameras during the ceremony and important reception events.  Call us crazy, but a lot of videographers don’t film all of the important events in their entirety, or will try to charge you extra to do that, but we think that should be any videographer’s #1 priority.  We do that and more.


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 not cooperative, we may be able to use some stock drone footage that we captured on a different day.


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.


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 interfere with any other professional wireless audio signal.  We will also include any audio files from your day as part of your package.


Hands On Customization – Matt personally edits every wedding and you'll have the opportunity to tell us about your editing preferences, music, etc. when planning for your wedding video coverage 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:) 


Digital Delivery – Once completed, we'll send your fully edited videos to you via an 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... non-denominational, you name it, we've gained the experience in over more than 24 years in business with over 1700 weddings filmed to date by a mostly family crew.


Content Creation Add-on – Add a Content Creator who can create short-form videos throughout your day for posting to TikTok or IG.  More info on that below. 

Add an Extended Cut Full Length Film to any of our packages!

Our Extended Cut option adds extensive Pre-Ceremony and Post-Ceremony video montages/short films of moments like getting ready, detail shots of the dress and other important items, coverage of formal photo shoots, first looks, drone coverage of the grounds and more, all set to the music you choose! Really, any music you’d like. Popular music will already be in your video from your first dance and other happenings at the reception, you might as well use popular music for the rest of your video, too.  And don't worry, Youtube now allows most popular music to be posted.

A La Carte & Extras

Add to any package!

(some options already included in our various wedding packages)

Music Video Highlight Reel or Short Film add-on

$300

All of our packages already come with one of these (your choice).  But if you want to have both (we get it... they're both awesome), add $300. 

USB-C/3.0 Dual Thumb Drive Add-on

$55/$110

$55 single USB / $110 for three USB.  Includes priority shipping. Inquire for bulk pricing.  Includes independent MP4's of your Full Length Film, Highlight Video, Short Film Sneak Peek & Outakes video (if part of your package).

SSD Drive Delivery (includes all raw footage source files)

$125

Get all of your video files delivered on an external portable SSD hard drive. Includes independent MP4's of your Full Length Film, Highlight Video, Short Film Sneak Peek & Outakes video (if part of your package).  Also includes all raw source files directly from our cameras, master audio files, and DVD image files with cover artwork (if part of your package). 

Additional Videographer/ Video Message Station

$200-$550~

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 put 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. 

Content Creator

$150 per hour

We'll bring along another videographer to create short vertical videos no more than one minute long throughout your day, typically 1-2 per hour, and post them to TikTok (or keep them private), sharing them all with you as a download after the wedding.  Each video will focus on the hour in which it was filmed, culminating with one glorious recap video of the entire wedding that's a few minutes long.

Associate Videographer

$100-300~

Most of our lead videographers have teenaged children who have become capable videographers after shadowing us for a few years.  Perhaps you like the idea of video messages at your reception but don't necessarily need a second videographer all day.  In that case, you can save a few bucks with one of our associate videographers!  Pricing will vary depending on how many hours we'll need them for so inquire before booking.

DVD Add-on

$50/$105

$40 single copy / $80 for three copies.  Includes priority shipping. Inquire for bulk pricing.

Rehearsal Coverage (up to 3 hours)

$1200

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.

More than 40 photos in your montage

$2 per photo

All of our packages come with a complimentary/voluntary photo montage with up to 40 photos of your choosing (growing up, dating, etc.).  But if you have more photos you'd like to include, they're $2 each over the initial 40.   

Save the Date/Love Story/Engagement Video

$1200

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!

Re-Downloading your Wedding Video

$35 per instance

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:)

Digitizing your Wedding Video

$55 per instance

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

We travel generally within a 2-3 hour driving radius of Bel Air, MD.  Outside of 3 hours would require additional time and/or hotel fees.  4 hours  or more may require airfare.   Minimum travel fees are as follows:


-Within 30 minutes of Bel Air, MD:  $0


-More than 30 minutes from Bel Air, MD:  $50


-More than 90 minutes from Bel Air, MD:  $100


-2 to 3 hours from Bel Air, MD:  $200  (may require hotel fees depending on location)


-3 to 4 hours from Bel Air, MD: $400 (includes hotel fee for one night.  Two nights requires $600)


-4 plus hours from Bel Air MD:  Negotiable w/ airfare


-Downtown Annapolis, Baltimore or Philadelphia:  $50-200* (depending on parking situation/s and if Ubers are required to get around). 


-Kent Island:  $100 (Oct 1- May 23)/ $150 (May 24-Sept 30)*


-MD Eastern Shore:  $150 (north and west of Easton)/ $200 (south and east of Easton)*


-Washington DC, Alexandria, Arlington:  $300*


-Northern VA:  $200*


-MD/DE In-Season Beach Resort Travel Fee (May 15- Sept 15):  $375*


-MD/DE Off-Season Beach Resort Travel Fee (Sept. 16- May 14):  $275*


* 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 in most cases.
