Notes: For some reason, their email address breaks everything? It refuses to sync to Xero and activecampaing, both say the email is invalid but won't say why. So i'm adding the no mail campaigns tag to just skip this one.

I've had several videographers in the past compliment my ability to ensure that they're getting what they need. I will often set up my couples in a specific pose, take my shots, and then back out so that video can come right in behind me. I also incorporate movement into some of my poses, which also helps with video. We will be working on a limited portrait timeline, but feel confident that we'll all get what we need to best serve Bethany and Nick.

Music Notes
Doesn't want it to be "overly dramatic"
A Thousand Years is "not the vibe"
Not Country
Wants it to be cute, sentimental but sentimental for everybody not just for us
Not cringy or corny
Editing & Composition
Nothing is "not important"
Wants shots from "all the places"
Wants to see friends and family having a good time -- "not just focused on us"
Get good candid stuff in there!!

Note to Videographers:
~~8:00 is the latest end time, but if its seeming like the rawhide or any of the other fun dances are going to be happening before like 8:30 and you feel so inclined as to stay, we'll pay you for the extra 30 minutes. ~~
They're adding golden hour at 8 apparently, which means there won't be any events after 8. Client knows that golden hour is outside of the 10 hour window.
