FAQ
Before you book
How much do proposal and engagement photos and films cost?
Photography is $800 and the engagement film is $800 — book either on its own, or ask Michael to plan both together. For film, a $200 booking retainer reserves the date and is applied to the total; the remaining balance is due 48 hours before filming.
Can you photograph or film a surprise proposal without giving it away?
Yes. We plan the camera position, arrival timing, landmarks, and a simple backup signal with you beforehand so the coverage stays discreet.
What do we receive from the film, and when?
You receive a 5–10 second vertical preview the same day, a 15-second social teaser within 24 hours, two vertical social cutdowns, and a 60–90 second cinematic highlight in 5–7 days. Everything is delivered privately with no watermarks.
What do we receive from a photography session?
From 1–2 hours of coverage you receive approximately 75 professionally edited photos in a private online gallery with high-resolution downloads.
Can we book photography and video together?
Yes. Ask for a combined plan and the shoot is coordinated so the photos and film match in style and cover the moment from both angles.
Can we add drone shots?
Yes. Drone footage is a $150 add-on when the location, weather, and venue rules allow safe, legal flight.
Will you help us feel comfortable on camera?
Absolutely. Direction is simple and specific when you need it, but the goal is never to over-pose the moment — most of the strongest frames happen between prompts.
Planning a surprise?
Send the rough location and idea. Michael will help shape a discreet plan — for photos, film, or both — before you reserve.
