When searching for your wedding videographer, it’s vital to understand what you’re looking for in the final production of the wedding video. When couples typically begin their search, they’re often surprised to find out there’s more than one style of film and many different terms used by videographers to describe the work that they’ve produced.
Wedding videography has come a long way since the 90s when videographers would show up with a camera on their shoulder, a huge bright light shining in their face, and the grainy, boring videos that most likely your parents have that are now sitting on a shelf collecting dust.
As a cinematographer, my role is to visually interpret the script and bring it to life through lighting, composition, and camera movement. It's like being a visual storyteller, using the camera as a paintbrush to create a cinematic experience that immerses the audience in the story. My job starts before filming even begins, during pre-production.
Waiting five years for anything can sound a little excessive to most, but to the determined, it's not long enough...
Your heart is fluttering, and you can't stop smiling. This is one of the best days of your life. Why? Because you're now officially engaged to the person of your dreams!
Wedding photographers have a different workflow for weddings. We've decided to do things a little differently from most wedding photographers.
Boudoir photography is a photography session where you wear alluring outfits, lingerie, and dresses, or even go scantily clad & get your photographs taken. The photographer & the model will work together to create beautiful, sexy, confident images of yourself.
Your wedding video is something you will treasure for many years. You will likely watch it many times and share a shorter version with friends and family, so you want it to reflect your style as a couple – and give anyone watching it an accurate picture of your big day.
If you've started your search for the perfect photographer, you've probably laid eyes on some list that covers specific questions you "need" to ask as potential photographers. Those are all fine and great to consider, but it doesn't matter what equipment they use. It shouldn't be the first question you ask when hiring a photographer. The photographer may have the best equipment that money can buy, but the photographer doesn't have the fundamentals of photography and lighting.
Clients will always ask us if they can have their proof images and raw, unedited images.
When one of our clients decides to book a session, I send a proposal with a contract and a link to pay half the session fee. Within that contract is a model release to help clarify how I am allowed to use your images and also where we're allowed to use your images.
A professional image and online presence are a must for business owners, but we often neglect photography on our websites.
Let's face the facts. No matter what field of work we're in, most don't always think about capturing a professional headshot. But instead, we take a photo with our cell phone, post it on our profiles, websites, and other platforms, and label it our "headshot." Sometimes we can get by using that as a headshot at the start of our career, but as we progress, it may be time to invest in booking a professional headshot session.
With so many different photographers in the area and the world, it can be hard to pick the right one and even when you have finally narrowed down the list of photographers. How do you know that you’ve chosen the correct photographer for the image that you have pictured?
In today's digital age, it is more important than ever for small businesses to have an online presence. Video marketing is an effective way to increase your online visibility and engage with potential customers. Here are five benefits of using video for your small business:
It's time to do things differently, so we are changing how we look at your typical session and introducing mini-sessions.
