FAQ

What if my wedding lasts longer than the time my chosen package allows?

We understand that sometimes events go longer than anticipated; for this reason, we are happy to stick around and continue capturing any additional goings-on that you desire.  The cost is minimal: only $100 per additional hour ensures we stay on-site and pick up all the extra activities.

What about additional locations?

If you’re especially charmed by our second package (two locations included), but your event is scheduled to take place in three separate locations, not a problem!  If the additional location(s) is within walking distance (quarter mile), it’s only $50.00; if we have to pack equipment into our vehicle and travel (more than ¼ mile), it’s only $75.00.

Rehearsal dinner?
Our attendance at your rehearsal dinner is advised, but never necessary; we have plenty of experience doing weddings “on the fly,” and these turn out wonderfully. If you would like to ensure maximum quality and coverage, however, we can be available to attend your rehearsal dinner.  Cost will depend on duration and location.

What about my photographer?

The photographer controls the shoot.  His job is to capture specific, time-sensitive moments, and he needs our cooperation to pull that off.  A photographer’s job is tough enough as it is; the last thing he needs is us interfering.  For this reason, we like to contact your photographer before your wedding, to coordinate our efforts and ensure we don’t step on one another’s toes during the event.

How do I reserve your services?

The deposit, which serves to reserve your date and is non-refundable, is $100 for any package under $1,000, and $200 for any package  over.  This is due at the time you contract us for the wedding.

Do you travel?

We do travel within a 75-mile radius of Salem, Oregon (Anywhere in Portland, Salem, Corvallis, Eugene, etc. is in range!).  After that distance, a .50/mile fee is assessed, with a maximum of 200 miles total (one way).

What about late bookings?

Most weddings are planned months, if not longer, in advance; hiring a videographer should be no different. We completely understand that sometimes situations arise and solutions are needed immediately; Focus Ring seeks to provide excellent and timely service regardless of when we’re requested to film a wedding. But there is a $75 fee assessed, for ANY package chosen, for any booking that is less than two weeks (14 days) from the date of the wedding.
