Frequently Asked Questions
How would you describe your style?
Our films are timeless, emotive, and quietly cinematic. We blend documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, allowing each moment to unfold naturally while we capture it with intention and artistry.
Couples often describe our work as story-driven and immersive—focused on preserving both the feeling and the full experience of the day, rather than just the visuals.
What is Alma Films’ filming and editing style?
Alma Films creates cinematic, story-driven wedding films that balance natural, unscripted moments with refined, intentional visuals. Our approach blends documentary coverage with an editorial perspective to create films that feel both honest and elevated.
We prioritize authentic emotion, clean audio, and timeless editing so your film feels as meaningful decades from now as it does today.
What’s included in a wedding videography package?
Most wedding videography collections include full-day coverage, a cinematic highlight film, and professionally recorded audio of your ceremony and speeches.
At Alma Films, each collection is designed to preserve both the emotional story and the full experience of your day, with options to include full ceremony edits, speeches, and additional films depending on your priorities.
How much does wedding videography cost with Alma Films?
Wedding videography with Alma Films typically falls within a luxury price range, depending on coverage, deliverables, and travel.
Our collections are designed for couples who value storytelling, artistry, and a highly intentional experience. For detailed pricing and availability, we recommend reaching out so we can tailor a collection to your day.
Where are you based and what locations do you serve?
We are based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and serve couples throughout the Midwest, across the United States, and internationally.
Whether your wedding is local or a destination, we approach each story with the same level of care and attention.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely. We film weddings across the U.S. and abroad, and travel is one of our favorite parts of what we do.
If your celebration takes place beyond 100 miles of Minneapolis, we’ll create a custom travel quote to ensure every detail is covered.
How far in advance should we book?
Most couples reserve their wedding videographer 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates.
We accept a limited number of weddings each year to give every story the time and attention it deserves, though we occasionally accommodate shorter timelines if our schedule allows.
How long until we receive our film?
Most couples receive their wedding film within 14–16 weeks.
We take our time with each story, crafting films that are honest and lasting. A limited number of quick-turnaround options are available for couples who need their film sooner.
Is wedding videography worth it?
For many couples, wedding videography becomes one of the most meaningful investments from their day.
Photos capture moments, but film allows you to relive them—the voices, movement, and emotion that can’t be preserved any other way. Over time, these films often become one of the most cherished ways to revisit your wedding and share it with future generations.
What should I look for in a wedding videography portfolio?
Look for consistency, storytelling, and how well the films make you feel—not just how they look.
A strong portfolio should show full wedding days, not just highlight clips, with clear audio, natural pacing, and an ability to capture authentic moments across different settings and lighting conditions.
What questions should I ask a wedding videographer before booking?
You should ask about their filming style, what’s included in their packages, how they capture audio, turnaround time, and how they approach the wedding day.
It’s also helpful to understand how involved they are during key moments and how they balance direction with allowing moments to unfold naturally.
How do I choose a wedding videographer who captures authentic moments?
Look for a filmmaker whose work feels natural, emotionally engaging, and consistent across multiple weddings.
Authentic storytelling comes from experience, anticipation, and a thoughtful presence—not heavy direction—so it’s important to choose someone whose approach aligns with how you want your day to feel.
What gear do you use?
Our gear is chosen with purpose and curated to deliver the highest quality while never disrupting the authenticity of a moment.
We currently film on Sony a7Siii cameras with a collection of modern and vintage lenses we’ve refined over years of storytelling.
Do you offer both film and photo?
Yes. We offer both cinematic wedding films and photography, available separately or together as a cohesive collection.
How long have you been filming weddings?
We began filming weddings in 2013 and have since documented more than 400 celebrations across the world.
Each one has shaped the way we see love, legacy, and the art of storytelling.
Do you have a list of add-ons?
Every film includes everything needed for a complete, beautiful story.
We also offer curated additions like extended edits, full ceremony or speech films, and same-day previews upon request.
How many weddings do you take per year?
We intentionally limit the number of weddings we accept (typically 20-25) so we can remain fully invested in each couple and story.
Do you offer discounts?
Alma Films is a luxury service, and our collections reflect that level of attention, artistry, and care.
For couples seeking a different style or experience, our sister brand Bright House Weddings offers beautifully crafted films with their own unique approach.
