why do we need a video?

We think photos are great, but you can only preserve so much in a single frame. There is so much to miss out on by not capturing the sounds, movement, and rawness of a moment. 

What is required to book you?

To get onto our calendar, you must pay a 25% deposit in addition to signing a service contract.
This payment is non-refundable, and will be put toward your final contract amount.

DO YOU MEET WITH COUPLES BEFORE THE WEDDING?

We actually encourage it! We find so much value in being able to connect face-to-face in a not-wedding-related environment. But, we understand that people’s lives are crazy busy and so we leave this up to you. We'd love to hang, but we don't want to add to your plate. 

i feel so awkward in front of the camera. is that ok?

WHAT’S YOUR POLICY ON TRAVEL?

We travel to wherever you need us. We've now traveled all over the world to film weddings and story sessions. A travel fee will be assessed after the consultation call is completed, and will be included in your proposal. 

It is SO ok! We plan out personalized shot lists to make portrait time a breeze. Because by the time we get to the wedding day, we'll know you well enough to determine what kind of shoot you're interested in -- something fun and laidback, or something artistic and editorial. We don't give anyone the chance to feel any weirdness by taking control of your shoot and directing you from start to finish. Our goal is to create an environment that you feel relaxed, confident, and comfortable to just be you!

ARE YOU INSURED?

HOW WILL MY FINAL VIDEO BE DELIVERED?

You will receive everything in a digital video album through a video hosting platform. This allows you to directly download files to your computer or phone, privately share it with family and friends, and you can even stream it to your TV through Chromecast and Apple Airplay.

If you'd like something to hold, you can purchase a keepsake crystal flash drive with your content uploaded for safe keeping. You can also purchase a Motion Playbook for an additional fee. 

my friend's wedding video used their first dance song. why can't we use ours?

Yes, Laureland Films is insured for General Liability coverage and we will happily provide proof of insurance to your venue.

WILL YOU PROVIDE ANY RAW FOOTAGE?

Trust us: unless you have a background in video editing, you aren't going to know what to do with a bunch of raw, unedited clips.

So, we'll do you one better: We'll take every shot and lightly edit it to create one long, uncut documentary-style video. Every moment captured, every blooper, every tear shed.  

Because these are your memories to cherish, not for us to hold hostage. 

Of course we want to do whatever we can to create the perfect wedding video for you, but we want to respect musicians by not illegally using their work without permission. 

Many top artists and songs you hear on the radio come with strict user guidelines and expensive licensing fees. 

But not to worry! We subscribe to a premiere music licensing service -- used by top brands such as Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu -- with 100s of artists to choose from. We pay close attention to the music played at your wedding and to the vibe of the day to give your video the perfect soundtrack.
