Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
We’re based out of Huntsville, AL but have filmed all over the Southeast including:
- Atlanta, GA
- Birmingham, AL
- Nashville, TN
- New Orleans, LA
Do you travel?
We’re always down to travel. Contact us and I’ll get you more information.
How many weddings have you filmed?
We’ve been filming weddings on the side since 2018, and have filmed over 15 weddings. In 2023, we made wedding videography our full-time job and we’re hoping to film a lot more!
When’s the best time to book?
We have been getting more and more requests, and have even had to turn some down due to already having a wedding on their date. We always recommend reaching out as soon as you’re thinking about booking.
Do you set up distracting lighting?
Absolutely not! We love the look of natural lighting. We’re not going to use an extra light during the day or even at night.
Do you record the vows?
We love recording the vows to help tell the story in your film. In the Starter package, we can use the vows in the highlight film. In The Works package and above, you get your ceremony film edited with all this included.
Do you record the audio for the ceremony and speeches during the reception?
Yes! In all four packages We record the audio for the ceremony and the speeches during the reception.
How do you ensure it’s high quality audio?
For the ceremony, we use two Lav mic’s to capture audio, one on the Groom for both the Bride and Groom, and one on the officiant. Don’t worry, you wont have any wires showing, it’s discreet. It also won’t interfere with any signals coming from your DJ, as it’s all internally recorded. If you wish to not use a Lav mic, I have other options as well. I record the toasts by plugging directly into the DJ’s soundboard.
Will you get in the way a lot?
No way! We do our best to blend in on your wedding day. We don’t set up tripods in the middle of the isle or leave gear lying around. Our hope is that you would notice us about as much as you would notice your photographer.
Do we get to meet you before the wedding?
We would love to meet you before the wedding! If you live close, we’d love to grab coffee and say hi! Otherwise, we’d love to setup a Zoom call beforehand to go over details. We also will come out to venue visits if you set them up so we can walk the grounds and meet you and your vendors.
How long after the wedding do I get my film?
Our normal turn-around time for the highlight film is within 4 weeks. For The Works package and above, you can expect everything else within 7-12 weeks.
What happens if you get sick and can’t make it?
In all the years we’ve been filming weddings, we’ve never once missed a wedding day. BUT, if it were to happen, we would contact you immediately and would send a replacement shooter that we’ve personally worked with and trust to capture your wedding the same way we would. We would still handle the editing, so the film would still be what you would expect from Renowned Media.
Do you get along with the photographer?
We tend to get along with everyone. We’re a pretty likable people. And, yes, photographers tend to love us. We’re super respectful of photographers, great communicators, and phenomenal encouragers.
We are excited to chat with you about your love story and your wedding day so we can help craft the perfect story that will last a lifetime!
