We were so thankful and impressed by the work we got back for our wedding photos, our family has adored the work and we got the pictures back so quickly!!!! Julian was on time and so kind and worked well with all of the other vendors we had. In addition and once you get the end of your wedding planning you’ll see this is so helpful but Julian asked his questions concisely and quickly I felt his professionalism in everything he did and didn’t receive a ton of extra calls or clarification.

Julian was perfect for my wedding on March 9th at Parker Manor. From when we met to discuss the wedding he was so knowledgeable and made me feel at ease about the whole wedding planning experience. Walking down the aisle to getting ready I never saw him as he was so great at getting the shot but staying subtle. He showed us a couple clips on his camera and they looked unreal, so beautifully shot. Felt like I was watching a movie!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your wedding, his beautiful videos really do speak for themselves! Thank you Julian :)

Details: Wedding • 101 - 150 guests • Outdoors • Indoors • Raw footage • Highlight video (3 - 4 minutes) • $ (Basic) • $$ (Standard)

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing structure is based on packages that all come with a highlight. Additional add ons are available.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When clients reach out to me i like to discuss about their day in order to best quote them. Then after we discuss the details I send over a contract for them to review. Upon being selected by my clients I like to keep in touch within throughout till their wedding day and beyond. I also like to meet up with them shortly before their wedding day to discuss their day in greater detail once all details are finalized.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my bachelor's in Film from The University of North Texas were I learned the fundamentals of filmmaking. The knowledge and skills acquired have given me the ability to create moving videos for my clients.
