The Deluxe Package is the most popular package for couples looking to get a full day of coverage from prep to the reception. Eight hours is usually enough to capture all of those special moments.

We are located just east of downtown Seattle and definitely travel worldwide. We are obsessed with traveling and may even waive some travel fees for the opportunity to shoot in an awesome location! We’ve done destination weddings in Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, and more. Specific travel fees apply for destination weddings and weddings and events more than 50 miles from Seattle. You can contact us for more information. We’re happy to travel just about anywhere to capture a wedding or event!

A Ceremony Video is a video capturing the wedding ceremony in its entirety. It includes everything that happens from the processional to the recessional, including full vows, speeches, etc. These longer edits (usually 20-45min) include much more content than the highlight videos. They are perfect for those wanting to relive their wedding ceremony in its entirety.

A Toasts/Speeches film is an edited video of all toasts and speeches made during the wedding reception. Most couples get this because they want to remember the complimentary things their friends and family have to say about them.

This is a great question! You can check out our past blog post on this topic here. While some companies gladly hand out their raw footage, we feel that our couples deserve a better product. Raw footage is un-edited, so it isn’t synced with our professionally recorded audio, it is not color-corrected, it is not in any specific order because we shoot with multiple cameras, and it is not cut down. If we are going to deliver our art with our name on it, we’d like to make sure it’s complete – just as a chef would never just put the ingredients to a gourmet meal in front of his customers and expect them to make it themselves. If your heart is set on raw footage, however, we do offer it as an optional add-on to any package!

This question comes up a lot with couples. As a professional company, we are not legally allowed to use un-licensed music in our videos. All of our music comes from proper song licensing websites such as Songfreedom or MusicBed. However, if you’d like to have input on the music, we are happy to email you a list of websites where you can select certain songs that you like.

At Emerald Media, we make sure to schedule designated editing time so that we’re able to get wedding videos back to our couples within 60 days of the event. Usually highlight videos are delivered within 2 weeks. 

Videography is one of the few investments for an event that actually means anything the next day – or year even! The major services – catering, venue, DJ, entertainment, apparel, etc – are only needed for that one day. Videography allows you to re-experience that day (and those services) anytime you’d like. We’ve heard so many brides say how much they regret not having a video of their wedding because the day was so hectic that they didn’t really get to experience it and take everything in. Emerald Media Services offers lower prices than competitors because we don’t want anyone to miss out on videography for their wedding or event.
