CHIEF THE CREATOR
filmmaker

Before.

The creative process starts the moment I receive your inquiry. It is very important that I understand your wants and needs but more importantly, that we can connect and vibe. We will spend ample time communicating prior to your event. I will initially have you fill out a questionnaire and set up a call to understand the details of your big day and to get to know you, your fiancé and your love story. We will go on to discuss packages and if we are a good fit for each other, we will then book your date. After we have you booked, we will set up another call to discuss timelines and important details of your big day (details like special dances, speeches, performances, etc). About 30 days prior to the big day, I will send you over the final timeline and we will go over it and correct any changes if necessary. My goal is to ensure your day runs as smoothly as possible and be fully prepared to meet and exceed your expectations.

Day of.

On your big day, I generally aim to arrive earlier than scheduled-- to introduce myself and allow time to set up, scout out the best shooting spots, and get acquainted with the photographer. After I've settled in, I normally begin shooting candid moments of you and your wedding party, getting ready shots, and just the joyful moments and butterflies leading up to the big moment! While most of these shots are organic, I might ask for a few staged shots like popping a bottle of champagne or a big wedding party cheer. After getting ready you may opt for a first look and from the first look we transition into your ceremony and reception where I will work closely with your other vendors to ensure timelines are being followed and the flow of your day goes uninterrupted.

   After.

Depending on the package you choose, you can expect a trailer about 4-6 weeks after the event. The extended video and any raw footage will be emailed to you in the following 6-12 weeks where you can view and download them to your devices.
