Frequently Asked Questions
To all the first time wedding planers….
If you're like most couples I talk to, this is probably the first (and only!) wedding you'll ever plan—so if you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. It’s completely normal to have questions, and I’m more than happy to answer anything that comes up.
After capturing over 300 weddings, I’ve seen just about everything, but I know this is all brand new for you. So take your time, and don’t hesitate to ask—no question is too small!

When you hire Mist + Moss for video, you’ll ALWAYS get full day coverage. This means you don’t have to worry about hourly limits, and things like drone footage and capturing audio are included at no extra charge. I believe each couple I work for deserves a stress free experience and the best film I can deliver.
-
Fewer hours doesn’t always mean less work. But it may mean that I’m not able to capture the full story we’re trying to tell.
If you don’t want me to be filming with you for the full day, I’ll make good use of that time getting footage that will add to your film!
In certain circumstances such as elopements and weekday weddings, partial day coverage may be available. Let me know what you have in mind and I'll put together a custom quote for you.

Hi Chad here! I am present at each wedding personally, as well as head up the editing and communication prior to the wedding.
Depending on your collection, you may also see associate cinematographers or photographers filling out my team, hand selected for your event.

Drone footage is always included at no extra charge! I am licensed by the FAA with our part 107 certification so there will be no liability issues. There are times where I am limited by where the FAA allows me to fly, and also by venue restrictions, so make sure to check with your venue if drone footage is important to you.
-
Yes! I travel wherever love takes me (but mostly up and down the East Coast). Let me know in your inquiry where I’m headed to, and I’ll send you my all inclusive collections.

I approach weddings like a documentarian, capturing the day as it happens. My philosophy is all about creating space for you to be yourselves and enjoy the moment. When you watch your film in 20 years, I want you to be able to feel how incredible your wedding was.
One thing I’ve heard from past couples a lot is that I can be a very calming presence on the wedding day. I’ve filmed hundreds of weddings, and have seen just about everything! I seldom get stressed on the wedding day and am pretty go with the flow.
-
I always design custom collections for my couples, tailored to your specific event and vision. On average, couples that choose to hire Mist + Moss typically spend $7500 - $9500. Some more, and some less. Couples that hire us for Photo + Video on average spend $12,500 - $16,500. If your budget falls near that range, I'm confident we can design something for you.
-
At the end of the day, I often have over 3 hours of raw footage that I’ve filmed. The standard deliverable is my signature 5-7 minute wedding film, but you do have the option of adding variations of raw footage as a deliverable to any of our collections!

I do! Photography has always been a passion of mine, especially from the perspective of a cinematographer. To me, that means creating photos that tell a unique story and capture those special moments in an authentic way. I’ve also partnered with a talented, like-minded photographer to offer a fully customized film + photo experience. Together, we focus on ensuring that not only do you get incredible photos and films, but that you’re able to fully enjoy your day just the way you’ve envisioned it.
