Frequently Asked Questions…
Wedding Photography:
Describe your style
We feel that we deliver a “true to life” style of photography without manipulating the colors much. We try to keep color accurate to the setting given on any particular day no matter the lighting or weather because photography is storytelling- a still image of what was happening that very moment.
We love capturing the whole setting wherever we are, so expect some fun wide shots when working with us, but at the same time, we’ll also get kinda close to you to capture the emotion in your face in order to give a complete story of what is happening. We LOVE capturing the candid moments when you are most likely unaware of the camera. This is when people can see the true “you”, comfortable, laughing, having fun unaware of the camera following you around.

I (Greg) photographed my first wedding in 2010, and Jessie started photographing weddings with me in 2013. Since then we have shot 200+ weddings.

Please do! Some people say that the hardest subjects are pets and kids, but we are up for the challenge and love both and have a lot of experience with them.
What if we need to reschedule due to weather or being sick?
We know how unpredictable Middle Tennessee weather can be and nobody can control getting sick, so we try to be flexible because of this. If something comes up we are happy to reschedule to another date at no additional cost.
Wedding Videography
Why should we book a videographer?
Good question! Other than the fact that in this day and age with all the ipads, phones, etc. advancing so quickly in quality…… Look at it this way- photographs are the Cliff’s Notes of your wedding day, but what if you could capture the whole thing? With video, you get movement and sound. Video reignites memories as you can see, hear, and feel the emotions of the day again.
What is a highlight film?
Think of it as an engaging, cinematic summary of your wedding day. They last from 4-6 minutes, which is ideal for sharing with family and friends on social media.
Do we get to choose the music?
Due to licensing constraints we can’t choose every song that you might like. Luckily we have a couple great resources that we license music from for use in our films through specialty websites like www.themusicbed.com and www.soundstripe.com. What we like to do is after your wedding day we will choose a few songs that we think would work out well for your film, and let you choose from them.
How will we receive our film?
Your highlight film will be delivered via Vimeo for easy viewing, sharing with friends and family, and downloading. You will receive your film approximately 8 weeks after your wedding date.
What other options do you offer?
Some additional options you can add to your package include a ceremony edit, adding a second videographer and receiving the RAW video and audio captured on the day.
Who will film our day?
We have a number of amazing videographers that we work with to help us capture your wedding day. Once the day is over we receive all of the footage and Greg does all of the editing to keep our videos consistent.
