We offer two packages that are tailored to couples who may be looking for different things. At first glance, the packages might seem more similar than they actually are so we thought it would be good to break it down for you!
The biggest difference between the two packages is that the Premium package comes with a highlight film while the Essential package does not. The highlight film is a complete cinematic representation of your entire day, starting with bridal details and bride and groom getting ready shots all the way through the cake cutting and open dancing, including each of the special moments in between. Because it is usually around 5-7 minutes, it is easy to share with your friends and family and on social media. While we consider the highlight video to be our main product, we understand that it is not necessarily important to everyone. This is why we created the Essential package!
The Essential package is for couples who may be more budget conscious and want a documentary style video of just their ceremony and toast. If you’re just looking for a way to relive these two events, exactly as they happened, this is for you! The ceremony and toasts feature film is a complete video production edited between 4-5 cameras just as we do with our premium package and is a great way to preserve the memory of your wedding! The length of the video will be the exact duration of your actual ceremony and toasts combined, up to an hour. The Premium package includes the ceremony and toasts video as well.
All of the other features of these packages are based on the deliverables. For example, we’ve found that for most weddings, we generally need about 9 hours of coverage to put together a highlight reel. Additionally, we’ve learned that two wedding videographers are a must if you want to capture every important moment of your special day while just one videographer is fine for filming the ceremony, vows and the toasts.
To sum it up, if you’re looking for a highlight film with footage from your entire day as well as a ceremony and toasts video, go with the Premium package! If you’re only looking for a documentary style film of your complete ceremony and toasts and a highlight video is not important to you, or you have a smaller budget to work with, go with the Essential package.
