When capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments, video delivers a depth of emotion and engagement that photos alone cannot achieve. As an experienced Baltimore, Washington D.C. and Chicago wedding videographer, I specialize in crafting heartfelt videos that are made to be rewatched for years to come

Why Video Is Essential:

  • Emotional Depth: Video combines movement, sound, and storytelling to create a vivid, immersive experience that captures emotions in real-time.

  • Engagement: Video is the most engaging content online, holding attention longer and generating stronger connections.
  • Longevity: A well-made video becomes a timeless keepsake and something to rewatch on every anniversary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you based & where have you traveled?

I'm split between Baltimore & Chicago so I frequently fly back & fourth.

I've shot weddings & engagements all over the U.S. including Sedona, Miami, Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, plus internationally in Cancun, Cabo, Paris, Costa Rica & Punta Cana.

If you would like me to film your event outside MD/DC, it will require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. Client is to cover flight & hotel for destination locations. International destinations require a 4-night minimum stay.

Why 4 Nights? 2 nights before event in case of delays/lost luggage, 1 full day before event for establishing & drone shots plus wedding details, flat lays, rehearsal/welcome dinner coverage, 1 night after event for 1st Breakfast/Brunch, bridal session, boudoir bridal session, trash the dress, bridal party excursion and any final location shots.

What is your booking process?

1. Inquiry: Fill out the Contact Form
2. Consultation: We'll call, FaceTime, or Zoom to discuss your needs & to see if we're a good fit. Expect roughly 15-20 minutes.
3. Booking: a 25% retainer of the total price & signed contract is required for reservation & booking.
4. Planning & Questionnaire: Once booked, we dive into the planning process! A questionnaire may need to be filled out.
5. Shooting & Delivery: On the day of the event, we capture beautiful imagery. Your videos and/or images will be delivered a few weeks afterwards via online gallery link.

Do you have monthly payment plans?

I absolutely do. I actually prefer to setup monthly payment plans.

Do you have commercial business liability insurance?

Yes. It is a $2M business liability policy provided by Full Frame Insurance. I also carry professional liability as well.

When will we get our videos?

Standard delivery is up to 4 weeks for the trailer and up to 16 weeks for the highlight, but rush services are available for quicker delivery.

Why is that? Because video editing is much more labor intensive than photos and can easily take 40+ hours to edit a trailer + highlight film.

Once finished, you will receive an online gallery link with your videos and/or photos to download & share!

Can some package add-on's be dropped & changed?

Of course, as long as it's not the engagement session coverage!

The engagement session is a vital step, almost a near requirement, not only for us to meet before your wedding day, but so you also can learn how I pose & what to expect on the day-of.

If it is not needed, an extra hour on day-of may be substituted.

What if I can't pose myself?

That's why you are hiring a professional! I am here to guide you through posing so it looks effortless & not forced.

What kind of payment methods do you accept?

I accept all major credit/debit cards or ACH transfers via Square or Stripe.

Do you include a 2nd professional videographer?

So I've been a solo shooter for the past 3 years and I actually rarely have a 2nd videographer!

However, the Premiere does includes a 2nd videographer. One may be added to the other packages for an industry standard rate of 100/hr.

How long with my highlight video be?

Generally, it depends on the length of coverage needed for the event & the amount of content there is to capture.

We do offer multiple coverage options which allow for enough content to be captured to produce a cinematic highlight film ranging 3 to 5+ minutes.

We typically do not offer extended documentary cut films (ie. 15+ minutes), but certain exemptions may be made.

What's the best way to contact you?

I am an introvert so I'm a texter or emailer by default. The fastest & easiest way to contact me is filling out my Contact form. You may also reach to me on IG @thegreatstateofnate

What kind of gear do you shoot on?

My nickname in the photo/video community is affectionately "Netflix Nate."

I shoot primarily on a Netflix-capable Sony FX3 & FX30 Cinema Line camera. I also have a Sony A7 III 4K capable camera for a 3rd body with Sony & Tamron lenses ranging from super wide 20mm to a 180mm telephoto.

Stabilization: Ronin-S gimbal and Avella carbon fiber monopod w/ K5 Komodo video head.

Lighting: Godox LA200BI for key & ML60BI for fill light plus two CAME-TV Q-Series 55W spotlights.

Audio: DJI Mics, Tascam DR-10L's wired lavaliers and a Tascam DR-40x field recorder.
