How long do you need to set up before the ceremony and reception?

We need a minimum of 30 minutes of set up time before the start of the ceremony, and the reception, to ensure that we are able to capture the best quality footage of your day.

Our coverage hours begin when we arrive on site. For example, if you have 8 hours of coverage, and your ceremony is at 2pm, we'd need to start our coverage time at 1:30pm in order for filming to begin at 2pm with the ceremony. We bring multiple cameras, mics, and occasionally lights, and setting each of those up properly takes time.
