Photo + Video Company vs a Videography-Only Studio

One of the most common questions couples ask is how their photographer and videographer will work together on the wedding day.

Before becoming a wedding filmmaker, I worked as a wedding photographer. That experience allows me to understand the pressures, timing, and responsibilities photographers carry, and to collaborate with them seamlessly rather than compete for moments.

When your vendor team works in harmony, the day feels calmer, moments unfold naturally, and the final film reflects that ease. This perspective is part of how I help create not just a beautiful wedding film, but a better wedding day.

Two Videographers Instead of One

When one videographer is responsible for everything, the focus naturally shifts toward logistics and coverage; little room is left for artistic and intentional capture.

When I work with two videographers, the workload is shared, which creates the space to slow down, observe, and capture the subtle moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

The result is a film that looks less like “video” and more like real life, preserved beautifully.

How I Protect My Clients’ Footage - as a Former Computer Technician

Your wedding day cannot be recreated, which means protecting your footage is just as important as filming it beautifully.

As a former computer technician, I approach wedding videography with the same mindset used to safeguard critical data. Every camera records to multiple high-integrity memory cards, footage is never pushed to full capacity, and your raw files are backed up across multiple systems and locations.

Why Netflix-Approved Cinema Cameras Matter

All of my films are captured using cinema cameras that meet Netflix’s official image quality standards. These cameras are designed to preserve highlight detail, natural skin tones, and subtle color information in a way standard video cameras simply cannot.

Most couples will never notice the camera itself. What they notice is how real the moments feel, how beautifully light is handled, and how timeless the film looks years later.

Editing your films in DaVinci Resolve

I choose to edit every wedding film in DaVinci Resolve, the industry standard software used to color grade blockbuster films and high-end documentaries.

It’s far more complex than most editing platforms, which is exactly why most wedding videographers do not use it.

However, spending the time to learn this software unlocks creative control over the color and image quality of your wedding film that can’t be achieved any other way.
