Who will be filming my wedding? We will! Some companies subcontract their shooting and editing, but we think it’s crucial to be there, experiencing the story we’ll later edit. We’re the “quality over quantity people”, remember? Apart from MacKenzie’s brief maternity leave this summer * , if you hire Inkspot Crow Films, we (Philip and MacKenzie) will film and edit your wedding. *Our third cinematographer, Ryan, will join us for the summer of 2012. He’s pretty rad and if your wedding is in the summer, count yourself lucky to have Philip and Ryan covering your big day!
Do you travel? You bet we do! Last year we filmed a series of promotional films in Austin, TX, a photographer promo in Maine, and a betrothal ceremony in New Orleans. This year we have weddings in Cape Cod, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Atlanta and Bald Head Island just to name a few.
Can we meet you? We’d love to! Let’s grab a cup of coffee or a piece of pie sometime. If you’re not local, we’ll make a time to video G-chat! We pride ourselves in creating films that are unique to your story and your personalities so getting to know you is important and frankly, quite fun!
OK, we’re ready to book you. Now what? Once you’ve determined we’re a good fit, we’ll create and mail a Filming Agreement. It will outline all of the nitty gritty! You can return the Agreement in the envelope we provide along with your 50% deposit, which will reserve your wedding date. The remaining balance is due 2 weeks prior to your wedding. Easy as pie!
Can we see an example of your Wedding Documentary? So glad you asked! Of course you can. We’re really proud of our Wedding Documentaries, but don’t post each online as we do with our highlights films. We truly believe that the care and thoughtfulness we put into editing our longer films really set us apart from the competition! Just send us an email and we’re happy to send one over to you with a password.
What will you wear to our wedding? Probably something dark, neutral and professional. We’ll rock flip-flops and jeans in our spare time. On your wedding day, we’ll respectfully dress the part.
Will you tell us what to do, how to act, or direct us on our wedding day? In short, no way! If you’re hiring Inkspot Crow Films, it’s because you appreciate the genuine emotion and documented moments in our films. There is no need for us to “recreate” scenes. Trust us, there is PLENTY of raw beauty and emotion on your wedding day to create a cinematic film! That said, the quality of our films also depends on good light, so if you’re getting dressed in the dark, we may ask you to move to a lighter area of the room, open the blinds, etc.
Do we have to feed you? We work better with food in our stomachs, so for events more than 6 hours, we hope you’ll provide a vendor meal for each of us!
When will I get my wedding film? We’ll start editing your footage right away. We usually have your Highlights Film ready in about 4-6 weeks. We’ll deliver the DVD with your Wedding Documentary and any additional films within 4 months. Not bad, huh?
Where did your name come from? Inkspot Crow is a combination of our match.com screen names! We met online and yes, we’d love to make a commercial for them.
