Wedding Photography & Videography: Price vs. Value
There is so much to consider when booking wedding photography and videography. However, most couples have never been so heavily involved in planning a wedding, so they don't always know where to start, what to look for, and what questions to ask. We totally get that. The trouble is, out of not knowing where else to look, many brides and grooms tend to just compare dollar amounts to one another. Budgets are important.

Post-Wedding Portraits: Why They’re a Great Idea
Wedding photography, along with videography, is one of the most important aspects of a wedding day. Both photography and videography are meant to capture the emotions, details, and memories of the day. But wedding photography is also meant to produce gorgeous portraits that you can put up in your home, at your desk at work, or include in your photo album for friends & loved ones to "ooh" and "aww" over. Sometimes, the hustle and bustle of a wedding day doesn't allow for the laid-back feel during the photo shoot that can help achieve the most beautiful portraits you'll keep and look at for years and years.

What is a Drone and why should I want it for my wedding video?!
If you're researching wedding videography these days, chances are you've come across the drone hype. So what is it and why is it the next big thing for wedding videos? A drone is an "unmanned aerial vehicle" (UAV) which means it can fly high into the air without having a pilot on board. Some drones, like what Amazon is working on for immediate delivery of products, are piloted autonomously by computers on board.
