How do we reserve our date?

You may submit a contact form, message us on Facebook, or email us at [email protected]. We will reply as soon as possible, and answer any questions you may have. We will then send you our contract, which can be filled out and signed digitally. Once we receive your contract, we will ask for a nonrefundable 30% package deposit. Once we receive your deposit, you will officially be in our calendar!

When do I have to pay you?

A nonrefundable deposit is due the day you sign the contract to reserve the date. We, then, require 50% of the remaining balance at least one month before your event. The rest is required on or before the event date. You can pay with any credit card through a bookkeeping site we use, you can pay with cash and we can meet you somewhere to pick it up, or you can mail us a check.

Are we required to feed you?

We do expect to be fed at the reception. However, if you do not want to provide food for us, that is ok, we just ask that you let us know beforehand so we can eat before we come.

How long do I get you?

For DJ services: We cover 5 hours. If you would like us to stay longer, we can add additional hours (according to availability) to your invoice.

For Video services: For Ceremony/ Reception videos we cover 5 hours. For Highlight videos we cover 10 hours. We provide resources on our "Resources: Day Of" web page that allows you to see how long it takes to cover what throughout the day. If you would like us to stay longer, we can add additional hours (according to availability) to your invoice.

For Photo services: We cover 10 hours. We provide resources on our "Resources: Day Of" web page that allows you to see how long it takes to cover what throughout the day. If you would like us to stay longer, we can add additional hours (according to availability) to your invoice.

Do you travel?

We do! We do require a fee if you need us more than 50 miles away from our studio, though. Travel fees depend on what package you choose and the distance. Once we have that figured out, we can give you an accurate quote.

What about alcohol?

Since we are Christian-based, we do get this question quite a bit. While, we will not be drinking any alcohol ourselves, we do not mind that you do. It is your day after all!

What kind of music do you play?

This is a question we get a lot once clients know we are Christian based. So we play all genres of music- from classical to rap. In other words, we do not ONLY play Christian music, unless specifically requested to do so. The only thing we will NOT play are songs with bad words, or other inappropriate profanity. We try our best to play any song(s) requested though, whether that means I edit a song to have the bad words taken out or playing a "clean" version of a song. Please note, however, a lot of clean versions of songs will not sound good still, because of the constant muting of such words.

What is your turn around time for videos and/or photos?

We will have your video(s) and/or photos completed within 8 weeks after the wedding. If, for any reason, it will take us longer than that, we will let you know. We do all final deliveries digitally (unless other arrangements are made). Videos are delivered through Vidflow, and photos are delivered through PixieSet.

What is the difference between your 3 video packages?

The "ceremony and reception" videos include a full ceremony edit video the way your ceremony happened. So the walking down the aisle, the vows, ring exchanges, sermon/message, the kiss, all of it. We use 2-3 different camera angles and edit it all together to make it look good. Same thing with the reception video. We use a few different camera angles during your wedding party introductions, special dances, speeches, and cake cutting, all compiled into one video. You will have a total of 2 finished videos delivered to you digitally.

The "2-5 minute highlight" video is one video that is a recap of the whole day. We film everything- the getting ready, photo sessions, first looks, ceremony, reception- everything. We put licensed music to it and some voiceovers too. These are the videos we post to our website and social media pages. You will have a total of one finished video sent to you digitally.

The "ceremony and reception plus highlight video" is all 3 of those videos in one. You get the highlight video, the full ceremony edit, and the main parts of your reception edit. You will have a total of 3 finished videos sent to you digitally.
