Question 1

Do you do video AND photos?

Accepted Answer

I am a solo-creator, and the gear I have right now was purchased for weddings with video in mind.

Yes, I am able to take photos, but when it comes to weddings...video is my specialty ;)

Question 2

When do I pay you?

Accepted Answer

I remember what it was like marrying young and being on a budget. I married my high-school sweet heart at 21 while we were still in college. That is why I do not require a deposit. However, I've had couples pay one of three ways:

1. I've had some couples who wanted to budget out and pay installments every few months prior to the wedding. 
2. Some did not want to worry about the payment the day of the wedding with everything else going on, so they have paid the full amount in advance via check or Venmo. 
3. Or most have just paid me the day of.

Question 3

How many hours is a full-day wedding?

Accepted Answer

In short...as many hours as it takes to tell the story of your day. 
I arrive when the bride is getting her hair done and leave when I feel I have enough footage from the reception.

Question 4

Do you have a travel fee?

Accepted Answer

Anything within an hour drive of Elkader, IA does not include a travel fee. 
Anything else is an extra $100.

If the destination requires staying overnight, cost of hotel will also be included. But all of this will be decided and discussed in advance and before the couple decides to book with me.

Question 5

How do I book with you?

Accepted Answer

Just send me an email, and I'll check my calendar :)

If the date works, I will send you a questionnaire that you and your significant other fill out that helps me to get to know you as a couple. I also use this information to help personalize your video just for you, such as style of music you guys like. Once you submit the questionnaire, your date is locked in on my calendar.

You can reach me at jarod@professionallydrivenproductions.com

Question 6

How do we get our video?

Accepted Answer

I use an online service called VidFlow to deliver your final footage to you in a simple format that can be streamed from virtually anywhere. Your video has a unique URL (professionallydrivenproductions.com/ourwedding) that you can access at any time. However, VidFlow also has a smart TV app and apps for most streaming devices as well. So watch your wedding in 4K on your TV!

However, you can also download the video from VidFlow and save it to any cloud storage you want (which I highly recommend)

Future-proofing your wedding video is difficult since we can't predict where technology will be in the future, but this method gives us the best solution.
