This attention to detail is very time consuming, many of our films take 40+ hours of editing. I am the only one who edits as I believe this is essential to maintaining consistency and high quality. We film very intentionally and we edit very intentionally.
The number of weddings we take each year has to be calculated well over a year in advance and the combination of pushing our work to a higher level but still doing a wedding every weekend has resulted in a backlog.
Rather than sacrifice on the quality to maintain the delivery time, we have chosen to push our films to a higher level which is in tune with our core values.
We believe the wait is worth it for a product that is timeless and passed down through generations.
My ultimate goal is to bring our turnaround to about 3 months (industry average is 4 months), without sacrificing a drop of quality. Because we book so far into the future, this will take time to come to fruition.
Please note, the wait is because you are deeply valued and every film gets the same attention and care. I am working through this to the best of my abilities, delivering something magical that exceeds your expectations and dreams. Thank you to everyone for your overwhelming understanding and patience.
As we have moved towards higher quality, we have also had to move towards capping the amount of weddings we take each year. I deeply care for my couples and while I know that quality is more important than wait time, I want to create the best experience possible. I have blocked off 26 weekends from November 2024 to May 2025 to work on catching up the queue.
We are also moving towards a hybrid model, with teaser films now being offered ahead of full delivery. [There were a couple of people who received their teaser films late, I apologize for this, please know you will be receiving a special gift 🙂]
