“Ive got a question but I didn’t want to bug you.”
Here you’ll find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about our wedding films and the filming process. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. No question is ever too small — we’re here to make sure you feel confident, comfortable, and excited every step of the way, so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your special day.
-
Everything you need is already in. There's no hourly limit, so we're there from morning prep through the last dance. Drone coverage is included whenever it's safe and legal to fly. Travel is free if we're not staying overnight.
-
The Wedding Highlight starts at $4,850. The Full Length Feature Documentary starts at $12,500. Those are the real numbers, right here on the page. Add-ons like ceremony and speeches films, a trailer, raw footage and extra days of coverage are priced on their own, so you only pay for what your day needs.
-
The Wedding Highlight runs five to eight minutes. It covers the whole day, prep to last dance, cut down to the parts you'll want to watch again and again. The Full Length Feature Documentary starts months before the wedding and runs forty five minutes or more. It's built in scenes like a real film, and it follows the people and the story behind the day.

Check that your date is open. Pick a collection and any companion films. Hit reserve, and a 50% deposit holds your date on the spot. We'll follow up with a straightforward contract. If you'd rather talk first, schedule a consultation. If we're not the right fit, you get a full refund right away.

Wedding Highlight couples get the finished film about four months after the wedding. Feature Documentary couples get a 60 to 120 second trailer about eight weeks out, and the finished documentary at eight months. That timeline covers full color grading and a dedicated sound designer, both working with Cody.

We're in Portland, Oregon, and we film well beyond it. If we're not staying overnight, travel is free. If your wedding needs a flight or a hotel, we quote travel at cost once we know where we're headed, so nothing surprises you on the invoice.
-
We take a limited number each year, on purpose. That's how every couple gets real attention through planning, the day itself and the edit. It also means we care whether we're the right fit for you, and we'll tell you either way.
-
Shoot us a message anyway. Sometimes we can check the back and find a date that just opened up. If we really can't be there, we'll put you in touch with other fantastic filmmakers we trust, so you're never starting from scratch.
-
Yes, as an add-on starting at the price listed on our pricing page. This one's for the professional editors and color nerds. You get the actual camera files, log encoded, anamorphic and unprocessed, on a hard drive we include. Expect somewhere between 500 GB and 2 TB. You'll need to de-squeeze, grade and sync everything yourself, and in return you get the best image quality we can hand over.
-
Yes, and happily. I keep a published Ally Pledge on this site because you should know where a vendor stands before you ever send a message. Queer couples tell us that feeling safe, seen and respected at every step is what made the experience work. That's the goal for everyone we film.

We work documentary style. We follow the day as it happens and catch the moments nobody planned. We work closely with your photographer and planner so nothing stalls on our account. Then we edit for the story, and the film follows it.
