Common Questions

What exactly is the Hi-8 archaeography approach?

I use vintage Hi-8 cameras to capture your wedding with a documentary mindset. The result is authentic, warm footage that feels like discovering a family heirloom from decades past. Unlike polished digital video, Hi-8 creates texture and nostalgia—your day documented as future history.

How far in advance should we book?

I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season (May-October). However, I'm happy to work with shorter timelines if availability permits.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! I'm based in Chicago but travel throughout the Midwest and beyond. Travel fees apply for weddings outside the Chicago metro area. Let's discuss your location during consultation.

What's the turnaround time for the final film?

You'll receive your complete wedding film within 8-10 weeks after your wedding date. I take time to thoughtfully edit and ensure every moment is preserved with care.

Can we add extra hours or services?

Absolutely. All packages can be customized with additional coverage hours, extra camera operators, or multi-day documentation. We'll discuss your specific needs during our consultation.
