FILM/VIDEO
Film making is a newer service to Monroe. We are the only studio in the area to offer hybrid (video and still photography) sessions. While we are booking many wedding videography opportunities, we are also getting the opportunity to document families in their most natural form. Our Lifestyle Hybrid Sessions are the newest (and best!) way to document authentically the stages your children are at, and the relationships within your family. Yes, photography documents your family, but there's something so special about hearing those tiny voices, or watching those wobbly first steps. We offer hybrid sessions to families with kids of all ages, but younger children are best for these shoots. Lifestyle Hybrids start at $700 and include 5-10 digital images and a 3-5 minute film.
When it comes to weddings, we offer three collections for video. If we are ONLY doing video for your wedding, collections start at $2300. If you've hired (or plan to) hire us for photography as well as video, collections start at just $1700. Having us do both photography and video for your wedding day is an excellent way to not only keep your artwork cohesive, but also save some cash! (You're welcome Mom + Dad!) :) Because we are already there doing photography, we can charge much less than if we were only shooting video. We do offer a 'shotgun savings' for wedding couples that are looking for a videographer last minute if we have your date open, and you book 4 or less months out from your wedding.
Save the Date and Engagement Films are also very popular. This is a great way to share with your family and friends your engagement experience, and create a keepsake to play at your wedding and/or post on social media. These films can be made during your engagement shoot, or at a separate shoot just for filming. Engagement and Save the Date Films start at $500.

FILM/VIDEO Q&A
You mentioned a discount for booking weddings 6 or less months away, tell me more about that?
Many of our film clients tend to put video on the back burner and wait to book it. Because it's unlikely we will book a photography job at 4 or less months out, we offer a discount to video clients booking close to their date. The savings are $200-$500 off depending on what collection you book.
Where do you do lifestyle hybrid sessions?
We can do them at your home, at a park, at a fair, at grandmas or anywhere else you family feels comfortable and likes to play! The goal in these shoots is just to get your family playing and being themselves. The location doesn't matter as much as your family's comfort level there.
How far before our wedding should we do an engagement film?
If you want it to be a save the date film, we suggest shooting 8-12 months before your wedding date, so that you can share your save the date video around 6 months before your wedding. If you're wanting it to show at your wedding reception, 6-4 months out is plenty of time.
What if I don't want photography during a lifestyle session, just a film?
No problem, we can make that happen!
What do I need to do to book video for my wedding?
To officially book your date, we need a 50% retainer and a signed contract. If your wedding was less than 2 months away, we would take your payment in full.
