Pennsylvania Wedding Videographer & Portrait Photographer
The"wedding video package"
Unlike photographers who offer start and stop times along with several types of packages, I specialize in a "niche" that fits my creative style. I enjoy filming weddings in a way that tells a story from the beginning till the end. I believe each couple has a unique story to tell. I enjoy capturing that story for them to keep and share with family and friends for generations. So, that being said, I only offer one wedding video package - My package is what most videographers call their "Deluxe Package". But for me. I believe every newlywed couple deserves a deluxe package on their wedding day. And I also believe it should be affordable because weddings cost a fortune these days. And I'm not the type of person that believes you should pay more just because you are getting married. I do what I love, and love what I do. Contact me so we can work within your budget.

When & Where?
On your wedding day,
We arrive early to capture makeup, hair, and everyone (Bride & Groom) getting all dressed up. We will stay with you the entire day and all night, until the very last dance or send-off.

Why & How?
In order to capture clear audio and video, we use several microphones and several types of lighting. The groom will wear a small mic in his pocket to capture the vows, the officiant to capture the ceremony, and we connect with the DJ to capture speaches.
Fequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you require a deposit and how much?

a 25% down-payment is required. Payment information will be included on your invoice (via email) once you have decided that I am the perfect wedding videographer for you. Refund Policy
Q: Do you provide a contract, invoice and receipts?
A: Always! And first off, let me just say… YUCK! Nobody likes reading legal terms and contract jargon. Especially me! Secondly, I am NOT a lawyer. I’m a singer, songwriter, musician, photographer, graphic designer, and videographer. But I did write a contract all by myself and I can assure you… my contract is not just to protect me, it’s to protect the both of us. This contract is for us to have some peace of mind – and so we can work together in harmony. I always provide the invoice that you see above, along with a receipt for your down payment, and a receipt for your final payment.
Q: What is your turnaround time for delivering my final video?
A: Normally 2-4 weeks and occasionally (rarely) during the busy Fall season it can be up to 6 weeks.
Q: Can I choose my own music?
A: We much prefer to use our own music that is licensed to Tommy Guns Studios and we strongly advise against using popular music that is copywritten. Using music without permission from the artist or label can cause complications and/or legal consequences. Using our music allows you the long-term comfort and freedom to share your video online without the concern of copyright issues.
Q: How do you ensure the final product will meet my expectations?
A: If after reviewing my portfolio, you still have concerns about my work, it's likely that I'm not the ideal wedding videographer for your requirements.

Q: Can we receive the RAW footage?
A: Sorry, I don't provide RAW footage. Why? Although Many videographers offer RAW footage and often charge extra for it... honestly, it's just another way to make more money by upselling something you will never use or need.
Here's Why...
1) RAW footage is filmed in a format (CODEC) called XAVC and cannot be viewed on a smartphone or tablet without converting it using expensive editing software.
2) RAW footage needs to be converted using video editing software to view it or share it anywhere online or on social media.
3) RAW footage is flat and uncolored in order to preserve the details for post process editing.
4) RAW footage is hundreds of small clips shot on several different cameras totaling over 400Gig of video and audio data. It is very complicated and tiresome to navigate through and watch. You can’t just hit “Play”, sit back, and enjoy the show.
5) I value my reputation and respect my clients too much to sell them something that has absolutely no value to them.
