I like to focus on candid moment films that reflect how the day actually felt. I try my best to work unobtrusively, capture real moments as they happen, and avoid super serious posing. The goal is a film that feels personal, nostalgic, and has genuine emotion. Think professional home video. Check out my Style page and Instagram for more info and examples. 

If it’s your style, I’ll add in some small fun poses & movements for transitions (think head turns, cheers, etc.)

No, then yes a bit, then back to no.... Super clear, hey? hah! Let me explain: everything I shoot is candid, except for the portraits. During the portraits, I will use many of the photographers poses because there would never be enough time (or energy) for 2 entirely different shoots. If there is time or based on your priorities, I will give explicit guidance for some extra shots (normally more dynamic/moving ones or some silly moves to use as transitions), then I am right back to capturing candids for the rest of the day. No need to worry about me bossing you around or an overwhelming feeling of having multiple media people competing or taking up your day. Ideally, I'm just there an extra hype person that coincidentally is also capturing all love! 

Final films typically range from 2-5 minutes, depending on the day and the package you choose. I focus on quality shots and pacing rather than length for its own sake. If you would like an extended highlight with longer moments from your vows or speeches, we can do that too!

I record moments throughout the entire day. snippets anywhere from 10-60 seconds throughout the entire day. The idea isn’t to rewatch the entire 12hr day, rather, the highlights.

Most couples book 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak summer dates. If your wedding is sooner, feel free to reach out to check availability. I've been booked the week before and it ended up being one of my favourite weddings! 

Absolutely! I work collaboratively and respectfully with photographers to ensure both of us can do our best work without getting in each other’s way. I actually worked many years as a wedding photographer assistant so sometime I catch my old habits coming out and I even start offering to carry their bags/lenses/etc.

Efficiency is my style! I love to obsess over things, so after your wedding I will most likely be working on your edit that night! I intentionally only book around 5 weddings a summer, so that I can dedicate time to completing projects quickly... Normally by the next week! That said, sometimes I work with professional editors or my weddings are scheduled close together, so to keep things safe, I say 2-4 weeks.

Of course! Would it be Sask if I didn’t embark on a long road trip?

Travel fees may apply depending on location. Generally approx. $0.75/km outside of Saskatoon area. 

Yes! I use professional audio equipment and do everything I can, including multiple backups, to capture clear sound during the ceremony and speeches.

Depending on the package you choose, most likely, yes! If the package you’re wanting doesn’t already include it, you can easily add it on too.

Minor revisions are included, ie, did I mistakenly include a shot of your sister's boyfriend that is possibly on his way out... or your aunt's laugh that bothers you every time you hear it? Do you absolutely hate what you are doing with your hands in one of the shots? Trust me, I get it. Let me know and I will swap it out for another clip.

Major restructuring is not typically included, as the film reflects a creative editorial process and the editing process takes normally 8+ hours per 3 minute film. If there are any issues though, let me know, I want you to be happy! :)

Raw footage is not included by default. It can be added as an optional add-on. That said, please note that I record in 5-30 second clips and shoot in S-LOG3 (a dynamic range format that looks very dull when unedited- similar to RAW vs JPEG photographs). You will need to know how to colour grade or hire someone who can. I can give recommendations if you would like. 

Not at all! Most couples feel this way. My approach is low-pressure and natural, so you don’t need to perform or act for the camera.

Also, I find that video is often more forgiving because it's not a moment frozen in time, rather, your natural reactions which create sincere moments. 

And lastly, I want you to look good! I will only pick the best moments for the highlight film. Don’t like a clip? Let’s swap it out!

That’s perfectly fine! Not every story is loud or dramatic. Quiet, sincere moments often make the most meaningful films. 

I know I can get very excited, but I do truly love a quiet, intimate wedding as well. Give me all the love!

You made it this far?? Or just skipped ahead?? (Cheater..)

I love to over research and overthink everything, so I figured I would add as many questions as I could for those who might be in the same boat! Also, this is my version of “reduced” ha!

If I missed something though, reach out! I’d love to answer any questions you may have!
