Elopements
Elopements and small events deserve to be documented too! My elopement option is for any event up to 5 hours long of coverage time and produces an estimated final creative film of 5 minutes. Don’t leave your civil wedding or small celebration to iPhone video alone. Have me document your special event the same way I would a wedding film. Ask me how I can help create a memorable film for you.
$1490
8 Hours
This option is a great plan for couples looking to document all of main moments of the wedding day. I will be with you for most of the days events to produce an estimated 5-7 minute final creative film. We’ll decide together what moments to capture to make sure I will be there for the right starting and ending time.
$1990
10 Hours
With enough time to capture getting ready details, everything in-between and first dances this coverage option is a sweet spot for a full final creative film of an estimated 7-10 minutes long. I will be able to document more shots by having more time throughout the day for unique ideas and well paced timeline. This option is also recommended if your wedding day will have some travel time from locations.
$2490
12 Hours
All day coverage for a full length final creative film. This option produces an estimated 10-15 minute film with lots of time for extras like dancing and exterior details that help tell your story. This is the best option if you want to make sure every moment will be documented from your wedding day and it will also produce the longest film. But don’t worry about it being too long, pacing is everything and with so many moments to choose from the edit will flow beautifully.
$2990
Additionals are available to complete your film coverage or choose the all day package to have it all at a discounted price.
Optional Add-Ons to your hourly Wedding Film Coverage
2 Hour Engagement/Save the Date Film Session
Enjoy a 2 hour couples session just like your engagement session but with film. We’ll chat about ideas and create a 3-5 minute short film that you both can share to celebrate your upcoming wedding or recent engagement. Or choose to make a save the date film for your website or social.
$390
Speeches Full Length Edit
Not every heartfelt word can make it in the final film. By adding on a speeches full length edit you’ll get every speech in full length in one final edit as well as individual speakers. So you can view back the meaningful words of your family and friends anytime. These edits will be available on your custom webpage for viewing and sharing.
$200
Traditional Family Video
This option is a classic. Perhaps not something you will cherish today, but curling up 5, 10 years from now on your anniversary to watch back a full days worth of footage is just like taking out those old tapes and hitting play. From start to end. For this option I put together your entire day with all the clips in order as they happened. For a real family video heirloom.
$450
Ceremony Full Length Edit
The final film is a lovely creative piece that is a beautiful keepsake from your day that tells your whole story. Sometimes there are so many amazing moments that not everything can fit into your final film.
The ceremony edit is the full ceremony from start to end. You’ll get clear audio and multiple camera angles to have an edit of the entire ceremony.

There is a saying in the image creation industry that “the camera doesn’t make the photographer”. While it is true a skilled person can make magic with any sort of camera, the camera does in fact matter. A lot. When you’re choosing your wedding filmmaker knowing that they will have professional camera equipment that can match your vision of the final film is equally important as their creative eye and knowledge of documenting a wedding.
This is why I use Canon C80 cinema cameras, 2 in fact. I always have 2 cameras working for backup or extras shots. Then I have a third camera for backup and static shots. The Canon C80 produces a beautifully rich full frame cinema quality image that looks like a Hollywood movie. While the gear doesn’t matter to some, to me it is my paintbrush and paint. My recipe for my art. Just as a painter will choose their tools that inspire them we too should choose cameras that help paint our vision.
I also only use top level lenses that help to complete the image creation vision with unique aesthetics and bursting with character. My selection of gear speaks to me as a wedding filmmaker that way I know I am documenting your day with the very best.

Within 2 weeks of your wedding day I will send over a 1-2 minute sneak peek film with some highlights from the day. After that the main film will be 2-3 months depending on the amount of footage I captured that day or how many hours of coverage you had. It can be sooner or later depending on the workload for the season. I always keep you updated and always in the know. If you chose extended edits I will provide those sooner.
-
To secure your date with me I require a signed agreement and a date deposit of $500. This is non-refundable but you will see in the agreement breakdown that there are change of date options in the worst case scenario. I want our relationship to be fair for both of us.

I service all areas of Ontario for your wedding including Durham Region, GTA, Toronto, York Region, Barrie and Muskoka and west Ontario like Burlington, Hamilton or Niagara.
I include 1.5 hours of travel from my location, Uxbridge Ontario. If your event is further than 1.5 hours a 200$ travel fee will be applied. After many years photographing and filming weddings, I have learnt that after such a long day of working it is very tough to drive home at night for a long time. This fee will be applied to a hotel to stay the night so I will safely travel the next morning. I do not charge for me time or gas for extra mileage within a 250km radius. Some couples secure a bulk rate for guests to stay over in those cases no travel fee is applied if a room will be booked for me.

Currently I do not offer a same day edit. SDE’s are a great idea to be able to show your guests parts of the day. BUT, and a big but for me, the reason I don’t offer a SDE is because it changes how I have to shoot for the day. On top of that having a large team which I don’t like or do. Since I approach my wedding films from a documentary style the shooting is approach is calmer and more thoughtful than just getting a bunch of fancy shots to throw together a few minutes of flashy footage. The editing is just as intentional to compliment the shooting. While I know SDE’s are all the rage (do kids still say that?) I assure you having the attention on the final film edit while I capture your wedding day is better than a quick SDE.

Colour grading means that each and every shot in your wedding film goes through a finishing touch by me to make sure exposure, contrast, colour and the overall look is cohesive and looking amazing.
I shoot in a colour profile called LOG. It means that the footage I capture for your wedding has a large dynamic range and cinema quality. It is the highest quality available to record in. While it does take a lot more work the result is beautiful and it is the only way I like to record your day.

Your final film will be in 4K resolution that is downloadable view a private link in various formats including a full high quality one and something easily viewable on your phone so you can watch anytime anywhere. Or watch in beautiful movie quality on your largest screen.
