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.

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

Standard delivery is up to 4 weeks for the trailer and up to 12 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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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