Below are some of the most common questions couples ask when booking our cinematic wedding videography services. If you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

1. What areas do you serve?

At Votive Wedding Films, we provide wedding videography services across Southern California, including Orange County, Los Angeles County, and the Inland Empire. Whether your wedding is in a scenic outdoor venue or a chic urban setting, we are here to capture every moment of your special day.

2. What is cinematic wedding videography?

Cinematic wedding videography goes beyond traditional wedding videos by creating a “film-like” experience that tells the story of your wedding day. We use cinematic techniques to capture the emotions, details, and moments of your celebration in a way that feels like a short movie. Our focus is on creating timeless films that you’ll want to watch again and again.

3. How long is the typical wedding video?

We offer a range of options for wedding video lengths depending on your preferences. Our most popular option is a 4-8 minute cinematic highlight film that captures the key moments of your wedding day. We also offer longer feature films and full-ceremony edits if you’d like more comprehensive coverage.

4. How do you work with wedding planners?

We collaborate closely with wedding planners to ensure that every detail is captured seamlessly. If you’re a wedding planner in Orange County, Los Angeles, or the Inland Empire, we’d love to work with you to create a stress-free experience for your clients, while ensuring all key moments are filmed beautifully.

5. When should we book our wedding videographer?

It’s best to book your wedding videographer as soon as you have your wedding date and venue confirmed. We typically recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, as popular dates tend to fill up quickly, especially in Southern California's prime wedding season.

6. What’s the difference between traditional and cinematic wedding videos?

Traditional wedding videos are often longer and focus on documenting the event from start to finish, while cinematic wedding films are edited into a visually compelling, emotional narrative. At Votive Wedding Films, we focus on cinematic storytelling, using high-quality video and sound to create a memorable experience that feels more like a short film than a standard video.

7. Do you offer drone footage?

Yes! We offer drone videography to capture breathtaking aerial shots of your wedding venue, adding an extra cinematic element to your wedding film. Drone footage is especially popular for outdoor weddings in beautiful locations across Orange County, Los Angeles, and the Inland Empire.

8. How do you handle audio for the ceremony and speeches?

We use professional-grade audio equipment to ensure that your vows, speeches, and other important moments are recorded clearly. Our team takes great care to capture high-quality sound that complements the visuals in your wedding film.

9. How long does it take to receive our wedding video?

Our standard turnaround time for wedding films is typically 8-12 weeks, depending on the season. We take the time to carefully edit each film to ensure it meets our high standards for quality and storytelling. You’ll receive a beautifully crafted video that’s worth the wait!

10. How much does wedding videography cost?

Our wedding videography packages vary based on the length of coverage and the type of film you choose. We offer flexible pricing to suit different needs, with packages typically starting around $2,500. Contact us for a custom quote tailored to your wedding day.
