Sometimes, yes. There are times when a larger wedding can still feel small and intimate and where the focus is primarily on the couple. If you feel like we'd vibe well, send me your details via my contact form and let's chat! I'd love to hear about you and your vision for your day and if it's a larger wedding but I know we'd be a good fit, I'm in! And if I know you'd be better off in someone else's hands, I know several other amazing filmmakers and photographers that I will recommend you.

I'm based in the Carolinas and I'll travel almost anywhere. There are no travel fees for weddings in the continental US - I travel in my tiny van so I can go anywhere!

Yes. If you have a problem with anyone being their true, authentic self and loving their partner with all that they are, then I'm not for you. Everyone deserves a safe space, especially on their wedding day. This is a safe space.

+ Your photos and video will look cohesive.

+ You only have to deal with one vendor, me! A lot goes on before a wedding and streamlining your vendor team makes life easier.

+ It's not always easy for photographers and videographers to work alongside each other, especially if they don't know each other well. My associate photographers are people I know very well and trust 100%. We communicate well, have similar styles, and have very similar principles.

I shoot on a Canon EOS R6 and use Canon lenses. I shoot handheld and only set up a tripod during your ceremony and toasts. I rarely use lighting as my camera is great in low light. This won't make your reception feel weird and I can blend into the background.

I deliver approximately 30-50 photos per hour. It's my job to make sure you're not overwhelmed by the amount of photos to choose from. I take great care in selecting your gallery to make sure you get the best images that tell your story.

Multiple ways!

• During your wedding, I simultaneously shoot onto 2 SD cards so there is always a backup.

• I backup immediately after your wedding onto a hard drive.

• I store your SD cards and hard drive in a fireproof safe. I don’t format or reuse SD cards until after your photos/videos have been delivered (and even months after that just out of absurd caution!)

• I backup online with Backblaze.

I do offer raw footage and photos for an additional charge.

Yes! I typically choose music for your video based on your music tastes and songs you really like. If you know you want a specific song, and it's able to be licensed, then we can definitely do that.

I require a $1,000 non-refundable retainer to reserve your date ($1,500 for photo/video package). The remainder is due 30 days prior to your wedding day. You can pay the final payment all at once, or we can set up a plan for payments to be dispersed in installments prior to the wedding if that is helpful. I accept payment via online bank transfer via Honeybook, check, or cash.

You'll receive your full gallery within 12-14 weeks. Too excited to wait that long? I offer a teaser film as an add-on that will be delivered within 2-3 weeks. For photos, I send you a sneak peak of 10-15 photos the week after your wedding. I also offer expedited delivery if you want to share your photos/films sooner rather than later.

Awesome! I'm stoked to be able to document your wedding day and help you plan your best day!

+ Tell me a little about you by submitting the contact form or emailing me at hello@summittoseafilms.com.

+ I will reach out to you to set up a time to chat and discuss any questions you may have before booking.

+ Once we've gotten to know each other a little better and have a few details nailed down, I'll send over a contact for review. After the contract and retainer are received we will get to the fun stuff and start planning your day. I'll help you with vendor recommendations, permitting requirements, location scouting, adventure recommendations, and more!
