Wedding Day Tips & Tricks
Most couples book 8–18 months in advance, especially for popular wedding dates between May and October. Once your venue and date are secured, it's a good time to reach out and confirm availability.
I, Aaron Hartley, shoot every wedding.
I have a narrative cinematic storytelling approach that consists of smooth footage and seamless transitions. When filming, I primarily use a triple axle gimble for the main camera to achieve these results. It takes some extra labor and care, but it's worth it. I find that couples prefer this approach, but hand-held for some captures can be really nice to change up the vibe- like for staged portrait walking or the after party dancing.
Your date is secured once the contract is signed and the initial 50% deposit is received. The remaining balance is due on or before the wedding date.
While this situation is extremely rare, professional videographers maintain a network of trusted backup cinematographers who can step in if an emergency occurs.
The relationship between a videographer and a photographer is, in my opinion, one of collaboration rather than rivalry. We're both there to provide excellent service to our shared client. I usually introduce myself and try to stay alongside them. If there is a shot I want, I ask and we make sure both of our needs are covered. Constant unobtrusive communication with the couple, the photographer, the dj, the venue staff, etc. is all vital for a smooth wedding day.
In short, I'm a team player. I want the photos to be as wonderful as the video, etc. I want the whole day to go smoothly so that you are having fun and the video reflects that.
The majority of weddings I film are within a two-hour radius of Boston, MA. This allows coverage in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine, and Connecticut.
