Where are you based and do you travel?
I am based in Baltimore, Maryland and I love to travel! 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 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.
When will we get our videos?
Rush services are available but standard delivery is up to 4 weeks for the trailer and up to 16 weeks for the highlight.
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!
How many portraits will I receive?
You will typically receive 80-100 portraits per hour of coverage for your wedding.
For instance, 8 hours of coverage would have a gallery of 600 - 800 images.
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-05x field recorder.
Drone: DJI Mavic Air 2
Do you have monthly payment plans?
I absolutely do. I actually prefer to setup monthly payment plans.
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.
But
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 include a 2nd professional videographer?
So I've been a solo shooter for the past 6 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.
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.
What kind of payment methods do you accept?
I accept all major credit/debit cards or ACH transfers via Square or Stripe.
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
