How We Work

From inquiry to delivered.

No mystery. Here’s exactly what working with us looks like — and what you can count on at every step.

STEP 01

Inquiry & call

Tell us the date, the vision, and the deliverables. We talk it through — no pressure, no template pitch.

STEP 02

Proposal & hold

A clear scope, a fixed quote, and a plain-English usage license. A 30% retainer holds your date on the calendar.

STEP 03

The shoot

A small, senior crew shows up prepared. We light for the feeling and stay out of the moment.

STEP 04

Edit & deliver

A 72-hour sneak peek, then your full gallery and film in 3–5 weeks — yours to download, print, and share.

Our promise

Guaranteed in your contract.

The crew you meet shoots your day

No juniors swapped in. The photographer and cinematographer you book are the ones on set. Always.

3–5 week delivery, in writing

A 72-hour sneak peek, then your full gallery and film within five weeks — guaranteed in your contract.

Clear, plain-English licensing

No mystery usage clauses. Your rights — print, web, paid, broadcast — are spelled out before we shoot.

Dual-card, backed-up coverage

Every shot is written to two cards on set and backed up the same night. Your memories are never on one drive.

Studio-error reshoot promise

If a gear or operator error on our side costs a frame, we reshoot what we can at no charge. Full stop.

Insured & venue-ready

General-liability insured with a certificate of insurance on request — accepted by venues citywide.
