Your story deserves to be told properly
Videographer & Photographer - Hollywood, FL
Before I quote anything I'll ask what the film actually has to do. Get people to book? Get a donor to give again? Keep a parent's story for the grandkids? That answer decides everything else.
I started with a Canon Rebel T6i I bought off Craigslist. My first paid job was a $100 event, and the client hated every photo. Instead of quitting, I got better. 120+ five-star reviews on Google and Thumbtack later, I still run every project myself.
Either way it starts with a call. I can't price a job off a form. I don't know the scope yet, and the scope is the price.
More About Me
WHAT TYPES OF PROJECTS DO YOU TAKE ON?
Legacy films, elopements, brand films, content creation, commercial photography, portraits, headshots, food, real estate, events and drone. If it matters to you, it matters to me.
WHAT DOES THE PROCESS LOOK LIKE?
It starts with a conversation. I listen first, and I ask questions most people do not ask. From there I handle concept, planning, shoot and edit. You stay involved where you want to be and leave the rest to me. Most clients say the process felt easier than they expected.
DO I NEED TO HAVE A FULL IDEA READY?
No. Some clients arrive with a clear vision. Others just know something needs to exist. Either way works. Shaping the concept from the beginning is part of what you are hiring me for.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
It depends on the project. Brand films start at $5,000. Legacy films start at $2,500. Elopements run from $1,500 for a one-hour session to $5,000 for a full multi-location day. Event coverage starts at $1,500, photography at $500, and livestreaming at $500. Every project gets a custom quote, with no vague pricing and no surprises. If budget is a concern, say so up front. I would rather find a version that works than lose the project entirely.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK?
As soon as you know you want this. Popular dates fill up, and the earlier a project is locked in, the more creative room there is to do it right. If you are working with a tight deadline, reach out anyway. It is worth a conversation.
WHAT DO I RECEIVE AT THE END?
Fully edited, professional files in every format you need: horizontal, vertical, web, social, print. Two rounds of revisions are included, and any further revision list is $250. Raw footage and project files are not included as standard; they can be added for $500. You will know exactly what you are getting before anything is shot.
DO YOU TRAVEL?
Yes. I take destination projects nationally and internationally. Elopements in Big Sur, Iceland, the Dolomites, the Pacific Northwest. Travel projects are ones I actively seek out, and travel costs are quoted transparently up front.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS?
Since 2015. Over a decade of shoots, 120+ five-star reviews across Google and Thumbtack, and Top Pro status on Thumbtack multiple years running. The experience shows in how a shoot day actually feels.
DO YOU SHOOT PHOTO AND VIDEO?
Yes, both. Most clients who need video also need photography, and booking both with one person saves time, money and the coordination headache of managing two separate vendors.
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT?
Most videographers show up, get the shots and leave. I show up, pay attention, read the room, and find the thing underneath the surface that makes the project worth watching. That is not something you can fake, and it is why most of my work comes through referrals.
DO YOU WORK ALONE, OR WITH A TEAM?
Every project is personally overseen and creatively directed by me. Depending on the production I may shoot personally or deploy a vetted DGP crew, with every project managed and quality-controlled through DGP.
