About DCM Wedding Films Process

Learn more about the wedding video process:

  • Contact DCM to schedule a brief introductory call to ensure my approach and personality aligns with your vision and priorities. 

  • Tell me your love story and share your wedding plans. In turn, I'll answer all of your questions and share more about my films and the collections I offer.

  • Begin by selecting the length of coverage you need for your day. Eight hours covers most weddings, but everyone has unique timelines and visions. From there, there are multiple add-ons and infinite ways to plan your dream wedding video.

    Dom will help guide you to the best package for your vision.

  • Once you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send you a basic contract. I require a 25% deposit at the time of booking, which officially reserves your date in my schedule.

  • Complete your wedding questionnaire doc and stay in touch with me periodically throughout your planning journey to talk through and confirm the important logistics, details, and timing necessary to personalize your film.

  • Live the best day of your life knowing that I'm prepared and excited to be by your side, documenting and capturing this extraordinary day.

    Dom arrives early to say hi, set up gear, and walk around the venue. From there, Dom will follow a minute by minute timeline to ensure your day goes as intended.

  • 1. Introduction Call

    I always like to introduce myself and get to know my couples. We’ll discuss your vision and I’ll learn about your love story. Building a connection with my couples has really elevated my business and is something I genuinely enjoy. From there, if you feel that there is a mutual connection we move forward to the next step.

    2. Reserve Your Date

    When you’re ready to move forward, a signed contract and deposit are accepted to officially reserve your wedding date. The remaining balance is due before your wedding date.

    3. Crafting a Plan / Timeline

    Over the next several months I’ll stay in touch with you, your photographer, and your wedding planner. You don't deserve a vendor showing up with a billion questions and having no idea what's important.

    Over the several months leading up to your wedding, we’ll work together to create a detailed timeline and wedding questionnaire. This document fully prepares me before your event. It answers the most vital questions and SAVES SO MUCH TIME AND STRESS on your wedding day.

    4. Your Wedding

    Typically the day starts with filming the bridal party prep. I take pride in my ability to seamlessly integrate into your celebration without being overbearing. I team up with the photographer to capture your day.

  • Hell yeah! I’d love to go on an adventure and film your wedding whether it’s in a different state or country.

    PS I love Canada

  • Yes, everything is done by me. I keep my films as personal as I can. I take a lot of pride in my work so I keep it all in-house.

  • A 25% deposit is collected to reserve your date. From there, I’m totally flexible on breaking up the remaining balance into payments that are best for you. The final amount is due before your wedding day.

  • I deliver your films two to three months after your wedding day. I send youtube links and download links to your email.

  • Don’t worry I’ve got you. The photographer and I will come prepared with several different poses and ideas that you are comfortable with.

  • Yes, raw footage (doc edit) is one of my most popular add-ons! You can also purchase it even after your wedding date as I guarantee storage of your raw footage for at least 1 year after the delivery of your wedding film.

“There are a million decisions to make when planning a wedding, but choosing Dom is easy. He’s professional and courteous. His ability to seamlessly integrate into your celebration without being overbearing is such a wonderful gift.

He will capture your special day uniquely and creatively.”
