What is a Cinematic Main Feature?
When it comes to choosing the right wedding videography package, it's important to consider both the quality of the footage and the final edits included in comparison to your budget. One of the main differences that separates our Premium Wedding Video Package from the Traditional Packages is that it has a longer artistic edit: the Cinematic Main Feature. The Cinematic Main Feature is 8-20 minutes long as opposed to the 3-5 minute Highlight Film that comes with the Traditional packages. It is also a little more artistic in nature because the Premium package comes with two videographers (so there is more footage to work with) and because of the

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.
