Columbus Wedding Photography & Videography Packages

It depends on the package: coverage ranges from 6 hours (Short & Sweet) up to 12 hours (Royal Wedding), which is typically enough to take you from getting ready through the first dance or grand exit. Not sure what you'll need? I'm happy to map it against your timeline.

Yes, but it all comes down to your preference. Some couples like having getting-ready capture while others don't.

Highlight film/trailer: A short, cinematic recap (usually 3-6 minutes) hitting the emotional high points, set to music. This is the one most couples share on social media.

Full ceremony, speeches & special dances: A longer documentary-style edit (often 1- 2 hours) covering the full ceremony, speeches, and reception.

Raw footage: unedited footage straight out of the camera of every single moment captured.

Depending on your package, you'll receive one or more of these.

Highlight films typically run 3-10 minutes depending on your package, while full edited video of your day runs longer, generally 1-2 hours.

Only in the Grand Premiere, Royal Wedding, and the Epic Grand wedding packages,  in addition to your edited videos, which some couples like as a complete archive of the day.

Drone coverage is included starting with The Perfect Wedding package and up. It's great for capturing your venue and surroundings from above. It's always subject to weather conditions and venue permissions, but I'll plan ahead with you for the best opportunity.

Discreet lav mics go on the bride, groom, and officiant during the ceremony so vows come through clearly. For reception toasts, I plug directly into the DJ's soundboard for clean audio without a mic in anyone's face.

Absolutely, I love when couples bring in songs that mean something to them. I'll also have suggestions from a licensed music library if you'd like options.

Same-day edits aren't part of the standard packages, but if it's something you're dreaming of for your reception, let's talk. Depending on the timeline and venue setup, it may be possible to arrange as an add-on.

Typical turnaround is 2-4 months. It's a bit of a wait, but it lets me give your footage the care it deserves rather than rushing the video editing process.

Yes, just give me a heads-up as early as possible so I can plan around it. Last-minute extensions can often be accommodated too.

Yes, these are some of the most-requested moments, and the dedicated audio setup (lav mics + soundboard) means vows and speeches come through clear, not buried in background noise.

Yes, with two videographers, we can split up and cover both locations at the same time, so neither side of the getting-ready gets missed.

We don't have a limit on how much you receive. We carefully go through all the images we take on your wedding day and pick the best to edit and deliver. So the amount you receive could be 400-900 edited images, sometimes more, depending on how much we capture throughout the day.

Every photo in your final gallery gets edited (color, exposure, basic retouching). The culling process means you're seeing the best of the best, not every single frame taken, but every frame delivered is polished.

Typically, the same 2-4 month window as video, though sneak peeks are often shared much sooner so you have a few favorites right away.

Yes, Dream, Epic, and Grand photography packages (plus the combo packages) include an engagement session. Location is up to you: a favorite park, downtown Columbus, your venue, or somewhere meaningful to your relationship. It's also a great low-pressure way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day.

Your digital gallery comes with a print release, so you're free to print your favorites through whatever lab or service you prefer.

Ohio weather keeps me on my toes! I always have backup spots in mind (covered areas, indoor alternatives) and will work with your planner to adjust the timeline if needed. Sometimes rain makes for the most beautiful, dramatic shots if you're up for it.

Yes, between getting ready, ceremony, portraits, and reception venues, travel between locations is part of a normal wedding day and built into your coverage time. Just keep travel time in mind when planning your hours.

Both. Capturing the details your vendors worked hard on (florals, table settings, cake, signage) is part of standard reception coverage, alongside all the candid and posed moments with your guests.

Yes, the combo packages (Perfect Dream and Epic Grand) are priced lower than booking the equivalent photo and video packages separately.

It will be the same team: a photographer and videographers from our dedicated team.

Our team is trained to work in tandem, staying aware of each other's positioning and communicating throughout the day so we complement rather than compete for the same angle.

The combo packages are designed as bundles, but if you have something specific in mind, reach out, and we can talk through a custom option that fits your day.

Popular dates, especially spring and fall weekends, tend to book up months in advance, so it's best to reach out as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. 

A 50% deposit is required to secure your date on the calendar, with the remaining balance due 2 weeks before the wedding. 

Yes, we regularly shoot throughout Central Ohio (Dublin, New Albany, Westerville, Hocking Hills, and more) as well as Dayton, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. Travel fees may apply depending on distance; happy to provide a quote based on your venue.

No problem, just let me know as soon as possible so I can plan around the new location. If the new venue falls outside the standard service area, a travel fee may apply.

Yes, as availability allows. Additional hours, a second photographer, drone add-ons, and similar upgrades can typically be added after booking for an additional cost.

Yes, we can lower the deposit to 25%; the remaining balance can be split into manageable installments leading up to your wedding date.

While this is extremely rare, I have a dedicated team of professional photographers/videographers who can step in to ensure your day is fully covered, no matter what.
