8 Hours of Coverage means that the videographer is committed for 8 hours to capture the most meaningful moments of your wedding day. Generally speaking, 8 Hours of Coverage will be translate in about 2-3 hours of recorded raw footage. Bottom line, 8 Hours of Coverage doesn’t mean 8 hours of video shot.

The coverage time is consecutive by default but this can be changed. You can make the hours non-consecutive by adding break time to the videographer schedule. Breaks are useful when there is some time during the wedding day that you don’t need or want video coverage. Because the break time rate is lower than the overtime rate, you can save money by adding break time.

This also has the added benefit of allowing you to split the coverage time. For example, you can request a shooting session of 3 hours in the morning, take a 2 hour break, and leaving the remaining 5 hours in the evening. This way you are only charged for 8 hours at full rate and 2 hours at half rate, for a total of 10 Hours of Coverage.

You can extend the coverage time as much as you like, at any point in time, even on the wedding day. There are two ways to do this:

1. You can add additional hours of coverage to your favorite package.

2. You can also add hours of break time to your favorite package. Check out the BOOK NOW! page.

To us, the relationship between videographer and photographer is one of collaboration, not competition. We’re both there to do a great job for our client.

Our cameras can see better than the human eye in low light conditions. For those times when it’s nearly pitch black (e.g. outdoor reception after sunset with no lights overhead) we use a small on-camera LED light to improve the overall video quality.
