Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cinematic Highlights Film?
This film includes the best moments of your day set to music. We weave in live audio such as messages that you record for each other, your vows, & audio from your ceremony & toasts. The result is a cinematic film that captures the emotions of your day so that you can relive it over and over again throughout your marriage. Imagine how amazing it would be to go to the movie theater to watch a film about your own wedding day… that is how you’ll feel when you watch your wedding film!
We hired a photographer. Why hire a professional videographer, too?
We love photos and want you to hire a photographer. Ideally you’d hire both. If you can’t, you have a tough decision to make. We personally feel that video captures the emotions, the sounds, the energy, the vibe, and the feel of your wedding day in a way that still photos just can’t. If you feel the same way, you just answered your own question. P.S. Photo and video are entirely different worlds! If your photographer offers video packages, make sure you see a complete wedding ceremony video to check that they have professional video and audio equipment.
Why should we hire you to film our wedding instead of another company?
Ace of Hearts Films will capture the best moments of your day without being intrusive or demanding. There’s no ego behind the cameras. By the time your wedding comes around, you’ll feel confident that we know exactly what you’re looking for. We promise to exceed your expectations. Please check out our About page to learn more about us.
Will you tell us how to pose so we’ll look good in our wedding video?
Our style is fly-on-the-wall and candid, so we will not pose you or stage you in situations that weren’t actually part of your wedding day, however we promise you that that’s a good thing. When you’re comfortable and having fun, you’ll automatically look really good in your wedding video. Our goal is to get the real moments of the day without being intrusive. In fact, the best compliment that we get is when couples say that they don’t understand how we got the shots that we did since they barely even noticed us throughout the day. We’ve invested in high-end zoom lenses so we can get close-ups of important moments without actually being close to you.
How do we reserve our wedding date?
Once you confirm that you would us like to reserve your wedding date, we will send you a contract for your package. We request 50% of your package to reserve your date.
What is a Save the Date video?
Save the Date Videos are a modern twist on the old postcards. We can create a slideshow of the two of you dating leading up to your engagement or we can do a video shoot of the two of you at the location of your proposal, where you met or where you had your first date. MORE >>
What is a Love Story video?
This is your chance to share the story of your romance, filmed at the locations of your choice. We’ll ask you and your fiancé questions about how you met, what your first impressions of each other were, the first date, the proposal, and more. We can set it up for your guests to watch your cocktail hour or reception. MORE >>
Will you give us the raw footage?
Giving you the raw footage is like a baker giving you the ingredients for your cake but not baking it. We will have conversations before your wedding day so that we’ll know all about the moments that are important to you.
